The Son of Lupa and Lycaon

Chapter 21

I can't believe we are at 21 chapters! It's been such a journey writing this and I can't wait to continue. I have big plans for this fanfiction that I am so excited for you guys to read. Just a reminder Percy is a werewolf and as I have stated before they are very physical with one another and hitting or biting is playful. If you look at wolves in the wild they fight one another as play. None of the "girls" are abusing him in any way.

Annabeth's POV:

I sat and watched Percy run with his sister and Bear. It's been four months since they came and I've learned one thing about werewolves, they are very physical with each other. One moment they'd be laughing and the next they are wrestling while arguing. I was just happy that they all have different colored coats so we can tell them apart in their wolf forms. I smiled when they chased one another around trying to bite the other's leg so they'd fall.

One thing I have noticed though is Nyla and Percy were complete opposites like the yin yang. His black fur was striking in the light and flowed in the wind, while Nyla's shined as the light hit her white fur. Seeing them play made me think of how lonely Percy had been while he stayed at camp. No one to roughhouse with or having someone who understood him on a certain level. The other campers were on edge as two more werewolves joined our camp. It's funny to think that Bear was the peace-keeper between the two siblings.

I shook out of my thoughts when Percy shifted and plopped next to me. I looked over at him, "tired?"

He stretched out as he laid on the grass, "man it's like they have an endless supply of energy. The only good thing is the curse keeping them from penetrating my skin with their teeth."

I laid next to him and faced him, "doesn't that hurt when you guys play like that?"

He smiled, "nah that's how we have fun and train the young ones to fight."

I placed my hand on his and he looked me in the eye, "what's it like? You seem like a different person having them around."

"What do you mean?"

I ran my finger over his soft lips, "your smiling a lot more. You used to never smile like this." He kissed my hand and up my arm.

I shuddered when his lips reached my elbow, "you make me a different person."

"How so?"

He continued up my arm and stopped at my shoulder, "I don't want to lose control and hurt you that's why I changed."

I released a breath, "you won't hurt me, I trust you."

I could feel him smile against my skin, "good because I at least know you trust me so I can do this." I went to open my mouth but his trailed up to my lips. He pulled away leaving me breathless.

"What was that for?"

He smiled, "for a daughter of Athena you are clueless. I love you wise girl."

He loved me? Holy Hera. I smiled wide, "I love you too seaweed brain." I stood grabbing his hand.

"Where are we going?"

I tugged him along past other campers who probably thought I was nuts for dating a werewolf, "to the beach! It's quiet over there." I sat down pulling him with me. He closed his eyes taking deep breaths like he was trying to calm himself.

He looked at me, "gods Annabeth you have no clue what you do to my wolf side." His pupils were dilated which I've come to learn was that he could shift at any moment.

"Care to explain?"

"Well for starters every full moon I seem to watch the Athena cabin waiting for you to look out the window to look for me. I can't help but listen for you when you aren't around and when I see you my heart seems to race."
