Half Wolf, Half God, All Alpha

Banshee

What the hell is a banshee?" Percy asked. He had heard of the creature he just couldn't remember what exactly it was that they were.

"It's on the cover," Nico said as he moved his finger under the words; messengers of Death.

"Yes, I see that. I mean what does a messenger of death do?"

"Oh, well in that case. A Banshee is more supernatural like a demigod, rather than werewolf. She pretty much screams when someone is dead and Thanatos knows that someone has been killed," Nico stated. Percy just gave Nico a blank stare.

"Nico, just shadow travel me back there, and we'll talk about the waste of drachma," Percy said as he swiped though the Iris message. Percy was engulfed by shadows, the demigod loved shadow travelling because it was awesome. He appeared back in the house.

"Wise Girl," he said, and Annabeth hugged him.

"Hey seaweed brain," she returned their usual greeting.

"Why aren't you at New Rome?" Percy asked her.

"Oh, there was a delay, Lycaon and his pack were hanging outside of Cam Jupiter," Percy's eyes darkened at the name of the 'Wolf King', he hated that guy.

"So he's finally back," Percy said grimly. "You would think that being torn to pieces by the Wolf Mother and a True Alpha at the same time would kill you for at least a decade," Percy stated.

"Yeah, unfortunately not so much," Nico said. "Anyway, about Lyd-i-a."

Percy did not like the way he said her name, "I hate you."

"Whatever," the son of Hades shrugged.

"What do you mean more like demigods than the supernatural, are they Legacies of Hades or something?"

"Not exactly," Annabeth stated. "More like legacies of Thanatos, without being actually related."

This made zero sense to the Alpha. "What?"

"Annabeth let me," Nico stated. "Ok, supernatural creatures like werewolves, are effected by mountain ash, right?" Percy nodded.

"But demigods aren't," Nico continued.

"Well banshees aren't affected by it either, so more on the line of demigod than werewolf. Now according to this, the original banshee was a woman born in Ireland when the gods lived in Britain. Now, apparently, Thanatos quite liked the girl, her family was killed by supernatural creatures but she never let that upset her, she never wanted revenge, she just wished she could warn people if their loved ones were going to be killed by supernatural creatures to help prevent their death. So Thanatos granted her wish. All banshees are descended from that girl. Of course they are connected to death in general, but they are much more connected to death caused by the supernatural or have supernatural significance," Nico explained.

Percy nodded, so gods could create creatures that don't have a desire to eat and kill their children, Percy didn't think it was possible until now. So Lydia was a divine creature? Or something like that anyway.

But didn't banshees admit a scream when they found death?

"What about the scream? Also Scott thought she was a wolf, so I'm assuming she was bit," Percy asked.

"Ah, no idea, Apollo maybe. I'll work it out," Nico waved it off. "Ok, now that this is worked out, I just have to work out how she's connected to Peter," Nico said.

"Wait, what?" Percy asked loudly, "What do you mean connected to Peter?"

"Oh, well I think Peter's hiding his presence using Lydia somehow. In fact maybe he bit her as a contingency plan. So keep an eye on her. In fact here," Nico said as he wrote down something on a piece of paper and handed it to Percy.
