Chapter 3

A/N: I would first like to say thank you guys, I would also like to say THIS IS PERCABETH! A/N at bottom if you want to know why this update is so late.

They arrived in the middle of a circle of six wolves, who all looked at Percy hungrily.

Then they sniffed the air and relaxed a little bit as they went back to whatever they had been doing before his sudden arrival.

Except for two of the wolves.

One was the pitch-black wolf with white socks that bit Percy.

The other was a grey-blue she wolf that couldn't take her eyes off of me, physically could not .

The black wolf walked up to me, and was suddenly a scrawny , tall, olive-toned 14 year old that I recognized easily.

"Nico?"

"Hey Perce. Woah- wolf eyes much? Pure silver. Dang Perce you're powerful. I just have silver flecks in mine."

"You're a wolf? Since when?"

"Well, remember when I ran away after Bianca died?"

"Yea, course I do. Scared me half to death looking for you."

"The reason I kept away after the first couple of months wasn't because of how angry I was, well it was a part of the reason but… This is why."

"Why did you get bitten?"

"I chose it actually. I stumbled across them when I shadow-traveled incorrectly, which is supposed to be impossible so the fates must have been helping. Anyway, the wolves took a liking to me and I wasn't allowed to leave cuz I knew that they existed. A full moon came along and I learned more about the pack. I knew they gave new purpose to demigods so I asked to get the bite."

"Ok so why did you bite me?" Percy asked.

"Bloodlust, it tends to make us crazy when separated from the pack; which death-brain here was." A new, fairly pretty girl impatiently interrupted. . He then realized it was that girl who had been staring at him.

He locked eyes with her, and they stared for a moment.

"Who are you?" Percy asked, taking in the electric blue eyes with beautiful silver specks refracting in the light.

"Krystal Dante, daughter of Zeus. You?" she asked, as confidently as she could while being mesmerized by his eyes as well.

"Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon."

She looked at him shocked, then they couldn't take it anymore. They shifted into their wolves.

Percy didn't really know what was happening-just let instinct take over.

He sniffed her brown wolf a little, and she his sleek black fur with a grey streak in it.

They circled each other, then laid down next to each other in the soft grass of the forest floor.

Artemis looked at them strangely.

"Odd, I would not think a daughter of Zeus and a son of Poseidon could be mates." she said.

That got Percy to snap out of it.

He shifted back to human, thankfully still wearing his clothes-although his shirt was mysteriously missing.

"What do you mean by mates?" he asked incredulously.

Artemis rolled her eyes.

"Oh nothing, just the two wolves made for each other. Share thoughts, feel and heal each others wounds, is impossible to lie to. That kind of thing."

"What? I've barely even met this girl. I don't feel any of her feelings. I haven't said anything through her mind. What the heck? I'm barely over Annabeth for howling out loud!"

Artemis gave him a wry smile. "Did you just say howling?"

"Sorry My Lady, wolf on the brain."

"Ok, well the thoughts should have connected instantly but sometimes it takes a while to fully connect. It took one pair of mates over there a full two hours after they met."

"Two hours?!"

"Welcome to pack life Perce." Nico said.

A/N: I know, its really short. I swear all the other chapters will be at least 1,000 words each from now on if not more. I am really sorry. If you want to know why this is late then read the next paragraph. If not, see you in a couple weeks.

I am really sorry about not updating, but school is really stressful right now. I've had to deal with a lot of teasing for some reason, which I dealt with 3rd through 8th grade so I had to try stop that immediately. Just the usual, people taunting me with my personal information and going by me and coughing to cover themselves saying "Trash" and things like that. Not a big deal or a lot but hey, as my one shot is titled "A Little Goes a Long Way." Also I have been trying to keep straight A's (To you British people that's a 93% and above in all seven classes) and have been doing Community Service, Spanish Club, Beta Club, Architecture Club, JROTC, and Drill Team along with a lot of homework. I am also a Girl Scout working on a Gold Award and my parents have been going through a divorce. I have three stories I am working on. Please cut me a little slack.
