By the time the alpha of the Morvan werewolf pack approaches lтАЩInstitut Marcel Chavinier for help solving his peopleтАЩs fertility problems, pack numbers have dwindled and the remaining members are desperate. Though the wizards at lтАЩInstitut have no experience with werewolves, their lore, or their brand of magic, Raymond agrees to help.
At lтАЩANS headquarters, Raymond finds Marc Gourlin, a young wizard fascinated with werewolves. Marc agrees to visit the werewolvesтАЩ home to study their rituals for the source of the problem. But when he arrives, he finds himself distracted by Adenet Silaire, the pack shaman. The attraction between them is powerful, but though Marc suspects he might be AdenetтАЩs mate, Adenet rebuffs him. Marc is a man, and AdenetтАЩs sense of responsibility will not let him take a male mate when the pack so desperately needs children.
Meanwhile, Jean and Raymond discover the Aveu de Sang allows a vampireтАЩs Avou├й to calm his inner beast. For Jean and Orlando, this is wonderful newsтАФbut it only convinces Thierry how much Sebastien is missing out on because they cannot form an Aveu de Sang. Determined to give his partner everything he can, Thierry sets out to recreate the bond denied them by SebastienтАЩs past.
