commune.”
    “Yes, the commune is lonely. Only females are soothsayers, so there’s no chance of creating more soothsayers if we don’t mate. Many left the safety of the communes to mate with humans.”
    “Why would they want to dilute their ancestry like that?”
    She glared at him; he couldn’t help but find it adorable. “Soothsayers are not self-serving, holier-than-thou assholes like real werewolves. We care about having families and love.”
    “I care about having a family and love.”
    She snorted. “Please, you would have mated Roxanne in a heartbeat if she had not refused you. Did you love her?”
    He didn’t like how she made him sound so superficial. “I care about Roxanne. I’m sure that could have turned into a loving relationship.” Suddenly she looked sad for some reason.
    “It wouldn’t have mattered about love, anyway. You’re an alpha and you need a full werewolf female to keep the line going.”
    “I won’t deny that’s why I came to Strange Lake Falls.” He had planned on mating Roxanne, but his wolf wanted Diana. He decided to shift the subject back to a safer topic. “So some of the soothsayers left the commune to have families. Is that how you were born?”
    She shook her head. “I am a result of a full werewolf mating a full Romany. I am not diluted.”
    “How many soothsayers are in the commune now?” He felt like an ass for having made that diluted comment.
    “There are only twenty-five of us left.”
    “That’s . . . horrible.”
    She nodded. “It’s also why the council wants me to accept Kilian’s claim. I am considered the most powerful soothsayer left and they want me to produce more soothsayers.”
    “Seems like we’re both in the same situation in a way. The council wants me to mate a full-blooded werewolf to produce full-blooded werewolf pups, and the council wants you to mate to produce more powerful soothsayers.”
    “I guess so.”
    He had always done what his people needed, always. “There’s only one problem that I see in their plans.”
    “What’s that?”
    “I want to fuck you into next week.”

    Diana was speechless. Was he serious? “Um . . . Lucas.”
    He was suddenly kneeling in front of her, keeping her on the bed. He cupped her cheek and brought her lips to his. She couldn’t stop him. She should have, but she didn’t. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back, opening up to him.
    Lucas’s hands moved down to her legs. He pushed the hem of her nightgown slowly up her thighs. She felt his fingers trailing her skin until he got the shirt to her hips. She was sitting on part of the t-shirt, trapping it underneath her.
    Lucas growled and reached up and began to unbutton her nightgown. Each button that came undone he would touch a finger to her skin making her gasp. “Lucas.”
    He moved the shirt open, exposing her. “You are . . . perfect.” He cupped her breast and used his thumb to rub circles over her nipple. She had never felt anything that felt so good before. She couldn’t stop watching him as he touched her. It was so different that what Kilian had done. She pushed those images out of her mind and allowed herself to be fully focused on Lucas.
    “We shouldn’t be doing this.” She groaned with need when he lowered his head and sucked her nipple into his hot, wet mouth.
    “I can’t stop myself.”
    “You don’t even want me, not really.”
    “I don’t have to mate you to make love to you. We can enjoy this, and then go our separate ways. All you have to do is say yes.”
    It hurt that he didn’t want to mate her. She had a decision to make. Either she could push him away and refuse what they both wanted, or she could take what she wanted for once in her life.
    She laced her fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck and pulled him off her breasts, bringing him to her lips again. “Yes.”
    Diana kissed him with all the desire she felt inside of her. She unbuttoned his
