I'm sorry the updates are taking longer time. It's just that I have no inspiration and the tsunami of finals are finally over (almost) and I will try to sit down and write. So don't be surprised if the next update take a little longer. I'm not really happy with this chapter, it felt very rushed but I hope the next will be better.

Jacob
Jacob thought he was going to explode of nervousness. He hadn't planned to do this for another couple of hours, but it was just his luck that Percy heard him.
So he had to think about how he would show him in the best way. Maybe he could just change in front of him? No there was that part when he had to be naked, unless he wanted his clothes to be ripped apart again of course.
But, he could change now and then when Percy came out, he would have to do something so Percy understood it was him. That was actually the best option he could think of.
He stripped quickly out of his clothes and changed. Red-brown fur sprouted out of his skin and his bones grew to fit his new body. In a matter of seconds, he stood there on all fours. He could hear Paul and Leah bickering. They were probably the ones who had guard-duty.
He greeted them but then they left him alone, hearing what he was going to do. He appreciated to be left alone.
He paced back and forward restlessly, at the same time dreading the moment Percy would walk out but also wanting him to come out as soon as possible. He couldn't place the feeling.
And then Percy appeared in the doorway. His eyes locked on Jacob immediately and his right hand sneaked into his jeans pocket and picked out a ballpoint pen. Jacob was frozen in place and couldn't look away from Percy's face expression. He looked dangerous, like he could kill him without a second thought.
Jacob laid down on the ground to show he wasn't a threat and Percy relaxed visibly. But he was still on his alert, his eyes scanned the surrounding area and kept track of Jacob as well.
"Who are you?" Jacob's eyes widened in surprise. Had he just talked to him? Did he know?
"I said, who are you?" Percy growled when he didn't get any answer.
Jacob whined. He had never felt scared of a normal human. Why would he when he hunted vampires? But now, he felt like Percy was going to kill him with that ballpoint pen he held in his hand if he didn't answered his question.
A part of his mind laughed at that. Brought to death by pen. That was what everyone would want on their gravestone, he thought sarcastically. But the rest of his mind was to focused on Percy to think about such things.
Okay, maybe it was time to change form. Otherwise Percy would actually attack him. He forced away the anger that changed him in the beginning and felt his human form come back. I hope he doesn't kill me before I can explain.
Percy
Percy stared at the enormous wolf. It didn't look like a regular monster but he knew from experience that that wasn't something to go after. It could be a werewolf, but it didn't look like it belonged to Lycaon's pack and he didn't think it belonged in Lupa's pack either.
And somethingstrange was that the wolf was lying on its stomach and whining. No monster in its right mind would ever whine. Except Mrs. O'Leary. But she was a nice monster so she didn't count.
But then something even more strange occurred. Its skin began to stretch out and in a moment a human had taken the wolf's place. A human Percy had begun to feel very comfortable around. Jacob.
A very naked Jacob. And spite the situation, Percy blushed because, who wouldn't when someone with a body as amazing as Jacob's was standing in front of them. He shook his head and tried to put his thoughts together again.
"What are you?" he asked, calm even when he wasn't.
"I'm a werewolf, shapeshifter. Take your pick." He looked like he was prepared to start running. Like he was afraid of what Percy could do. He should be.
"I, I had to show you." Jacob started to talk again. "Oh god this is going to sound strange but, I love you Percy." Sea green eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that.
"What?" He managed to choke out.
"Listen Percy, I will explain everything you want to know, but I would be grateful if I could put some clothes on. We can talk inside." Brown eyes watched him closely, waited for a response. So Percy did something extremely stupid. He nodded.
"Okay, explain." Percy turned to face Jacob when they both had walked into the living room. "You said you loved me."
Jacob smiled. "Of course that's what you think is important." When Percy just continued to stare he started to talk.
He talked about how this changing happens, things that they can do because of it (fast healing, run fast etc.), what they do with their power (hunt vampires that sounded like some sort of empousai) and the in Percy's opinion most important thing, about the imprint.
When the shapeshifter told him how it worked, Percy wasn't surprised. Okay, he had to admit, he was surprised but did you really expect him not to freak out when he discovered someone was in love with him? After two days of knowing the guy?
But when he thought about it, it wasn't weird after all. Now the visit from Aphrodite made sense even though he was still angry at her. She did care about him in some strange sort of way. And it fitted into the Greek myth of men he had heard of, who were divided into two when they intended to storm Olympus, doomed to forever seek their other half.
Yes Percy believed him, and was surprised when he realized he wouldn't go away unless he had to. He had liked the two days he had spent here. This was probably the happiest he had been after the war. Jacob felt safe and Percy didn't want to leave.
When Jacob was finished, an uncomfortable silence filled the room. Percy had no idea what to say. So he just settled for something random like always.
"So. You're a werewolf?" Okay that was really stupid, even for him. Normally he wasn't stupid, it was just that he never knew what to say or do in some situations.
"Mhm."
Percy nodded and said, "Cool", like it was something completely normal. If he wasn't a demigod he would have freaked out. Jacob looked like he had the same thoughts because he watched Percy closely.
"I guess." He said uncertainly.
A smirk crept up onto Percy lips. "I wont freak out you know. I am a little surprised but I'm not like, scared of you."
He could see Jacob wasn't convinced. "So Sam and Quil", the shapeshifter straightened in his chair when he mentioned their names, "they are werewolfs too, right?"
He laughed at the gapping mouth. "How did you know?" Percy laughed again.
"Oh just a guess by your reaction yesterday when I asked if I could come to your meeting." Wide eyes just continued to stare at him and he chuckled. It was nice to figure something out by himself for once.
"Can I meet the rest of them?"
