After Selena's pregnancy had reached a safe stage, the healer granted her permission to engage in sexual intercourse.
The Luna of the Blazefur Hunters pack was more than happy to share the news with her soon-to-be new husband.
Her face fell visibly when she did not see the same amount of joy reflected in Brett's eyes.
In an attempt to claim Brett as her own, she thus asked Brett to make love to her and establish her position as his mate.
It was not that Brett did not want to. He had been unable to perform for a while now.
Brett Youngshaper was pretty sure that he was afflicted with a serious, possibly incurable disease.
At first, he thought that his lack of attraction toward Selena might stem from their incompatible sexual preferences.
Suspecting that he might be into men, Brett tried to sleep with male werepires. Alas, he was also unable to keep his interest up for them, no matter how attractive they were.
