Percy P.O.V
I remade another mist and threw my second drachma in. "O'Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me Poseidon." I say trying to compose myself. My father shimmered into view. "Perseus! What brings me the pleasure of your call?" He said in a proud tone. "Dad, something happened. Lycan, the first werewolf, he's here. He...he bit me." I sadly show him my bite. He gave me a saddened look, but then flashed a small smile. "Percy, take my word for it, you will not be a werewolf, but something else instead." He said. "What else will he be?" Stiles butt in. "I'm stiles by the way, great to meet you your god-majesty" I stifle a small laugh. "Oh Perseus I didn't realise you had friends present!" "Oh yeah, dad, this is Scott, my mortal werewolf cousin and stiles, he's a mortal but I think like mom and Rachel he was gifted with the power to see through the mist." I quickly explained.

"The pleasure is mine. Where was I? Oh yes! The bite will not turn you into a werewolf son, but it will trigger a gift that you were given at birth. You see, when I bear demigod children my essence is in them, some more than others. In your case, you got more of that essence. Because of that, when you turned 18 you would become a merman, and be given a choice to stay a mortal and still have the power to become a merman and a human again or you would become the next heir to the throne of Atlantis. Because of this bite, it kickstarted it early, so you will not be given a choice but to be a mortal with the ability to transform. This time since you were bitten by a werewolf you will be reacted differently, you can still get the features on land, such as gills on your neck and webbed hands with small claws and sharp teeth and fins on your ears and scales on your face,  but if your in water you will grow a tail." He explained. I was just as shocked as stiles and Scott, I couldn't believe it. Either way I would be a merman, no matter the circumstances. "Ok, Thankyou for the explanation father. Can I ask a question though. Will I be getting any extra abilities or will they be the same?" I ask curiously. "Well Perseus, the mortals refer to your type, the type bitten and turned into a mer, is a siren. At least in werewolf bite terms. You will gain a melodic voice but your hearing and sense of smell will also be increased." He explained more. "Alright then, that clears things up. Thankyou father, for the gift and for explaining." I say calmly. "Of course Perseus, I'll watch your first shift and trust me, you will be incredible." He said enthusiastically. I smile and nod. I cut the connection.

"So, that was my dad." I say shyly to Scott and Stiles. "At least we know what you are now, but we need to tell the rest of the pack immediately." Scott said. "Agreed. We do have school in a couple of days so maybe then." Stiles added. "Percy, you in?" Scott asked me. "Definitely, we will have to tell our mothers though." I said. They both nodded and we all rode back to Scott's house. After we got back we told Melissa and Mom about what happened. "Oh Percy, I'm so so sorry! I thought you would get a break from all of this stuff!" Mom said in tears, Melissa stroking her back gently. "It's ok mom, I'm fine with it, really" I reassured her. She smiled. "Scott you two better go to your room, it's a full moon tonight, you should get some rest. Stiles you can stay the night if you'd like." Melissa said. Stiles nodded and thanked her, then we all set off to Scott's room.

"Ok so what should we do now? Percy won't turn right away since it has to take affect." Scott said. "But since I'm a demigod it might take a shorter amount of time." I say nervously. "We should just get some rest for now. We can check you for scales in the morning." Stiles said, then flopping down on the floor with a blanket and pillow, Scott and I do the same and eventually fall asleep.

The next morning

I was the first one to wake up, I looked at the clock hanging on the wall and looked at the time. '7:00' I thought, should be fine to have a bath. I step into the bathroom and look for where the bite was, or where it should've been. It healed overnight. 'Oh no, does that mean it started already?' I thought to myself again. With no hesitation I started the water. Once I found it full enough I took off my clothes and started to step in. Once I did I immediately fell. I groaned and started to look up but then I saw my arms, they were both covered in scales and arm fins, then I looked at my hands. 'Webbed with claws, like dad said.' Then I looked down and saw something unimaginable, a sea green tail, that ended in a perfect ocean blue gradient, with green and blue rings wrapped around where the fluke and the tail started.  There were fins all over it then I managed to pull myself to the mirror and saw my face, I almost tried to stand up and trip in shock but I remembered I couldn't, but my face was almost tinted blue, with scales all over it, ending in a sea green hue, the same for the fins on my ears, my neck had gills.Then there were my teeth, each one sharpened like a razor blade. I did the only logical thing "SCOTT!" Yelled for help.

Scott P.O.V
I was startled awake by a yell. Percy. He must've woken up early and tried to shower or something. I shook stiles awake and we both rushed into the bathroom and saw a both beautiful and scary sight, Percy had transformed for the first time, and oh my god, his dad wasn't kidding when he said it would be incredible. "Wow perce, that is some getup!" Stiles chirped up first. "Shut it stilinski! It's not funny!" Percy yelled but trying to keep composure. "Well, are you able to change back?" I asked. "I think so, let me try." Percy said, he closed his eyes concentrating. In a flash he was immediately himself but forgot he had no clothes on and quickly shut the door. Once dressed again he walked back into the room. "So that happened. At least we know your dad wasn't kidding. Did you wanna try just getting the webbed hands and facial features out at least?" Stiles asked. "Oh yeah, I'm starting to get used to it already." Percy said with a determined look on his face. I taught him how to focus on his hand and just get the claws out, or in his case, fins. After a couple of attempts he finally showed off his webbed hand, which we noticed was also green and blue tinted. "Ok this is awesome." Percy said excitedly. "Ok now focus on your facial features." I told him. He nodded and closed his eyes, me doing the same. Stiles volunteered to count to three so we would open them together. "Ok, 1,2,3! Open em!" He shouted. On his count we both opened our eyes, both shocked at the sudden change to our faces. "Wow, you have the Wolf features!" He said gesturing to my pointed ears, newly grown facial hair, scrunched up nose and eyebrows, my red alpha eyes and fangs. "You have the siren features!" I said admiring his face. It had the blue green tinted scales on his face, the same gradient on his ear fins, gills on his neck and his newly sharpened fangs. His eyes also changed colour slightly. Instead of his normal sea green ones, they glowed like algae in the dark. Both astonished by our features Stiles was the one to speak up. "Um sorry to interrupt this awesome little lesson but Percy, someone's trying to contact you." He said with slight urgency. We both turned to see an iris message shimmering, waiting to be answered.
