We're not Alone (Reyna fanfiction)

"Sorry," He whispered in my ear. Alex's breath was warm and tickled my neck, just below the jawline. "I shouldn't have made this harder for you"
"It's not harder. It's... new"
"Yeah, I guess"
"We're not alone".

I am not a fan of "and they lived happily ever after" because this takes away meaning from the story, shaping it like a fairy tale. But Reyna Amila Ramirez Arellano didn't deserve what she got as an ending. What she got wasn't an ending--just a standby position.
She has had two crushes in her life-both of which rejected her. The first, Jason, left her only to return with a heavily armed warship, trouble, greek buddies, and a new girlfriend. Moreover, he claimed to not know Reyna.
The second time was Percy. He didn't remember anything too-anything but Annabeth. After all he did for the legion, still he had the nerve to step down from praetorship and give it back to Jason, who wasn't particularly pleased. It pained her to see him every day. Fortunately Frank stepped up.
After that, she'd decided to be maiden. Partly because Venus wouldn't help her out, partly because she was too prideful to fall for someone-again.
But her challenges aren't over yet...
