Dangerously Beautiful

Chapter 1

Lucinda's POV

1 year ago

I wonder if people are just really stupid or just careless. The stuff that some people say just make me want to rip their throat out. As I get out of bed I grab my phone and read the message that was sent to me last night.

You have one year, Lucinda.

"Yeah okay," I muted laughing to myself. As I roll my eyes I think about who it would be. It was probably my best friend. It doesn't matter at the moment though, I have other things to worry about, like who will my mate be. I take a shower letting the cold water calm my nerves for my first shift tonight.

As I'm washing my hair I hear fighting coming from downstairs.

God so help me, I think to myself quietly.

If it's my brothers I'm going to explode. I finish washing my hair and grab a towel from the rack. Wrapping it around my body and starting heading downstairs to see what's happening. "Tanner! Jackson! I swear one more goddamn fight, and I'm going to end up killing you guys!"

When I turn the corner to the kitchen, it's not my brothers fighting, it's his best friend and him.

I groan, I can't stop this fight. Ones a Beta and the other is an Alpha. So I do what any normal girl would do, I scream.  Both abruptly stop, and turn at me with wide eyes. Tyler's eyes grow very dark. Dammit Lucinda you upset the Alpha.

Tyler growls, "Mine."

Oh thank god he's not upset, just confused. "Woah dude, I don't know how hard my brother hit yo..." I was about to finish my sentence but something dawns on me.

No shit, fuck, uhh why god, he can't be my mate.

I still hear him growling. In seconds, his body is shielding my brother from seeing me. "Yea Tyler? I would prefer you to not be a jealous maniac. Because I can't deal with people like that."

He stiffens, and turns to me throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me upstairs. I pound on his back, "Tyler let me the fuck down! Just because you are my mate, still does not give you the right to do this."

He still doesn't drop me, just heads to the bathroom and finally sets me down. He looks at me still growling, "Change."

"Change what? My looks? Sorry dude but if you don't like what you see reject me because I'm not changing for the benefit of you," I say to him, slightly hoping that isn't the case.

He looks at me confused, "No change into some clothes. I can barely keep my hands from ripping that towel off your body."

I blush, I lean close to his ear and whisper, "Maybe I wouldn't mind letting you rip it off me." I turn away from him and smile, "Then again I could always just help you by taking the towel off me." I turn back around and drop the towel right in front of him.

I don't have time to react, as he pushes me to the wall and growls, "You really shouldn't have done that Luce."

"You're a little eager there, aren't you Tyler?" I say, laughing at him.

He smiles down at me, "Only for you."

I blush, I lean up on my elbows and kiss him softly on his lips.

He tugs, pulling me into the kiss. I whimper with pure desire. Every nerve of my body was alive with need. I have never wanted anyone like this. My brain said this was wrong, but my body knew it was right. His tongue caressed mine, and he nibbled on my lower lip. I whimpered again, consumed with pure and utter lust.
