A/N - I have to write as I go along now so I'm not exactly sure how often I'll get to update but I know I am going to try to post new chapters at least once a week. Also, thanks to everyone who has left comments as it inspires me to write quicker and finish the story.

May didn't know whether to cry in joy or absolute horror. My baby boy is an omega. She knew more than most wolves that omega numbers were dwindling rapidly so to have one is seen as a blessing and sacred gift. But to be as rare as a male omega... Sometimes at night she could still hear the cries of her firstborn; still feel his smooth baby skin; still see those beautiful sapphire eyes. She'd known from her very first glance of Percy on that eventful pack run that she would be the one to raise and love him. Even now she didn't quite know what she'd been thinking when she'd volunteered to take the orphaned pup as her own. Was it to help the poor innocent wolf in need of a home or was it to rid herself of the looming guilt and gaping black hole in her heart? To drown out the memories of the mistake that had cost her poor Luke's life. My poor baby... May couldn't tell if she was thinking of her lost child or the fate that she knew would take Percy away from her too. So she cried. Alone in her room after returning from the infirmary just minutes ago. Violent sobs racked her body as she cried into her pillow, shame overtaking her as May honestly wished her Perseus had never been born.

He doesn't deserve this.

Jason had finally finished kicking everyone out of the little room Percy had been assigned to so that now it was just him and his mate. "So..." began Percy almost as if he was embarrassed about his current predicament. Jason couldn't understand why he would be - his own inner wolf was jumping around with delight. To know that his mate (well, future mate as it wasn't quite official - yet) was such a rare, special beauty sent waves of pride throughout him. "Percy don't you dare be embarrassed!" Jason scolded albeit gently, "I know you hate being seen as weak or classed as less just because of your gender but I need you to know that you should never ever be ashamed of who you are. You hearing me?" Percy nodded and mumbled a quiet 'yes' but avoided direct eye contact. "Perce..." Jason went to cup the other's cheek and lent forward so that their foreheads were touching. "Tell me you aren't ashamed." Jason pleaded almost gravely.

"I'm not, I promise! It's just that, I-I don't know - maybe I am. I mean I always knew I was the sub in the relationship but I thought I would be a beta. Never did it even cross my mind to think I would be an omega. Doesn't it make everyone see me differently? Does it make you see me differently?"

"You know that time Annie called you a SeaweedBrain? I'm starting to think she was right. Yeah we might see you differently, perhaps more precious but we love and respect you the same. Plus I'm pretty sure you could still beat any other alpha at a sparring match as an omega." There was a silence for a few moments in which Jason believed he had said the wrong thing before those emerald orbs looked up at him filled with love and a slight hint of cheekiness. "Any other alpha huh? You don't think I could beat you then?"

"Well, you're welcome to try..."

"Bring it on."

"I'm not going to go easy on you."

"Good, don't need it." They stopped talking in favour of an intense staring contest between the two which was interrupted quickly by the sound of someone clearing their throat. Jason was the first to recover his eyes after blinking in rapid succession and instantly he groaned. "Really Beckendorf? I thought that I'd finally finished kicking everyone out of here. Wait - no, don't tell me everyone else is out there too!"

The dark-skinned werewolf chuckled before closing the door behind him. "No they aren't out there although I did have to tell Leo to stop taking the free lollies from the front desk. Anyway, that's not why I'm here. Silena and I made it all the way home before she started looking all panicky, she said she needed to give you something." Charles's hand went to rummage through his pocket as the two other wolves waited patiently. "I don't know why she thinks it was so important but I figured it was the pregnancy hyping her emotions."

"Oh yeah," Percy piped in, "The triplets are due in six weeks right?"

"Yeah." Beckendorf extended his palm showing the gift Silena had insisted giving Percy - a small silver bracelet with a little charm engraved on it.

"What is that?" Asked Percy as he examined the markings.

"I think that's a scythe. Interesting pattern for a gift though." Jason noted.

"Must be some sort of Omega empowerment group symbol or something." Guessed Charles.

"Maybe." said Percy as he slipped the bracelet on. It fit so perfectly that one would think it was made for him.

"I should probably leave you both to it. Oh, Percy! I nearly forgot, you're coming to the cafe this evening aren't you? 'Lena and I made some special blue birthday cake for you and we were gonna close early so you could have the place to yourself."

"I doubt Perce would miss it for the world. Thanks Charles." supplied Jason.

"Yeah thanks. I guess this whole presenting thing didn't completely wreck my birthday then. I still get cake." Percy smiled.

"Yes, yes you do." Jason had no idea how much longer he could keep himself together. Percy should stop being so happy and excited and so god damn kissable. I really do love him.

"Well?!" demanded the sharp dagger like voice.

"All is ready sir, we just need to wait until the signal goes and then the tracker will lead the way." Atlas's tone rang out clear and confident despite the fact that the task set was nearly impossible.

"Good but you better not make me wait too long. I've seen what my prize looks like, he alone will be my eternal queen."

"Yes my lord." The second in command answered obediently however one word had sparked a curious interest. "My lord...if you may, when you say 'eternal'..." For a minute Atlas was worried he had crossed the line but his master just smirked. "Yes, I mean forever. Prepare to do the spell again and this time you will not let the used warlock get away so easily." He said in a stern voice as his eyes flickered to the corner of the room. Atlas and the eyes of everyone else listening in to their conversation looked to the chained warlock spewing cusses as she glared daggers at everyone and attempted to break free. "Yes sir, everything will be ready."

"It better be - I haven't had a decent companion in my bed for a long time. Oh, and if you even let that pathetic excuse of an alpha come close to my property, well, it wouldn't be the first time I have thrown someone of this mountain and certainly it won't be the last."
