The Son of Lupa and Lycaon

Chapter 19

Percy's POV:

In a week I have to go back to the pack. I'm having to leave Annabeth again. I laid against the tree stroking Mrs O'leary behind her ear, while I watched Annabeth teach a new camper how to use a knife. I watched as her arm lashed out with great strength. I couldn't help but think that if I were to give her the bite that she would make a powerful werewolf. I shook my head to rid the thought the special bite that needs ancient words to activate the transformation that could be fatal. Annabeth turned to motioning for me to come over. Grinning as I ran up pulling riptide from my pocket.

"Now watch as I battle Percy to see who to get close when your opponent has a longer weapon." The girl looked at me wide eyed.

"Are you the werewolf?"

I grinned feeling my canines sharpen, "the one and only. So Annie, is this going to be a real fight or will I have to let you win?"

She rolled her eyes, "Oh, please Percy I can win against you with my hands tied behind my back."

"you can try wisegirl, but remember I'm just a tiny bit stronger than you. "

She smirked, "give it all you go seaweed brain!" She lashed out and I twisted away. It was like a dance that made my wolf side howl in excitement. I grinned as she lunged forward. Using my fast reflexes I swung riptide up knocking her off balance. I reached and swung her around pulling her to my chest.

I leant up to her ear and whispered, "I win. Say the words I've been wanting to hear."

She struggled against me and turned to face me, "I get it you are stronger and faster than I am. Now let me go."

I grinned, "my pleasure." The wind blew causing different scents to fly in the air. One scent made my grin fall.

Annabeth pulled away, "what's wrong?"

"There's a scent, but it's faint." I turned toward Thalia's tree.

"Do you know who's it is?"

I frowned, "no it's new, but it's a werewolf's scent. One that was bitten not born."

"Bitten?"

I shrugged, "it's rare for a werewolf to give the bite because it's risky."

We began to walk towards the tree. "why is it risky and how does one change someone into your kind?"

I smirked, "my kind? Well, for starters a bite won't just change someone and it can't be forced from the one who bites."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Well, you have to say very ancient words passed down for generations by my as you say, my kind. Once those words are spoken after you bite that person the change will activate. It's risky because most don't survive and that's why it's rare." I took another sniff in the air and continued, "any other questions?"

I watched has her face turned to thoughtfulness, "what is it really like when you leave to go to the pack?"

I looked to the ground, "it's peaceful when I'm not in trouble for anything the alpha thinks I've done. But, living outside with no one to really bothering the pack it's nice."

"No monsters?"

I laughed, "Annabeth aren't you supposed to be the daughter of Athena? In the monster's world, we are the monsters." I came to a halt when the scent of blood. I pushed Annabeth back, "Do you remember what I told you about our weak points?"

She rolled her eyes, "yes, I know. Is it near?"

"No it's gone but it's clumsy that's for sure. You should make sure that Chiron knows about a rouge sniffing around. I'm going to just check some things out, okay?" I watched closely as she ran up the hill. I turn around, "you can come out now and we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice, you can tell me who turned you and as to why you are hanging out here."
