Chapter 7

Percy POV

My eyes fluttered open as I woke up from the deep sleep I was enjoying. I looked down at my torso and saw it wrapped in heavy bandages that were soaked through with blood.

Oh, yeah. Cyclops.

I unwrapped the bandages and saw that despite the pain I was feeling, my skin had smoothed over and my ribs felt like they were in the correct place.

You healed rather quickly. Only took about a day.

"Really? How do you know?"

I'm not a part of your normal conscious. I am always awake.

"You're awake."

Zoe had walked into the house and she leaned her hip on the doorway. "Can't be home alone for one night, huh Jackson?"

I snorted. "I've been fine up until now. I had to put my hide on the line for those demigods."

Zoe shrugged. "You would've reformed if you died. Stop being such a crybaby."

The remark struck my heart and I felt all my happiness drop away. "Yeah. I would've."

Her eyes narrowed. "Why did you say that with that kind of tone?"

I did my best to feign ignorance. "I don't know what you're talking about."

She strode in and grabbed my shoulders. "Percy, don't lie to me. Why are you talking like you won't reform?"

I didn't want to tell Zoe about the deal Fenron and I had struck just yet.

You might as well rip off the band-aid now. Your body is mine if you die.

"Zoe, I swear on the Styx that if I die, I will reform." Thunder boomed overhead and Zoe seemed to deflate.

"Percy, don't scare me like that. I wouldn't be able to stand it if I lost you." Tears began dripping down her face. "I would have nobody left."

I pulled myself up and wrapped my arms around her. "I'm here for you, don't worry. I won't leave you."

Oh, you will. Don't worry about that.

I grimaced, not from the pain, but from the thought of leaving Zoe only to return as a savage beast with no scrap of Percy Jackson left.

Zoe pulled away wiping her eyes. "I don't know why I'm such an emotional mess nowadays."

"I do tend to have that kind of effect on people."

Zoe glared before slapping me in the face as she stood up. "Idiot. I sent the Romans back on their quest. They were very concerned about you but I got them out of here so they could finish their mission."

I nodded before pulling myself from the bed, wincing at the sharp pain in my ribs. "I just hope they'll be able to pull it off. Any success is significant when Kronos is rising."

Suddenly, I remembered something Pa Gasket had said during our battle in the woods. "Uh, Zoe, would you happen to know anything about a Titan named Krios?"

"Of course, he is my great uncle, the Titan of the Constellations. Why do you ask?"

"The Cyclops I fought last night was an underling of Krios, and he said that he would report my name to the Titan since I'm not part of their forces. Apparently, they believed me to be dead, but now that I have been revealed to be living as a werewolf, I will be enemy number 1 for both sides it seems." I explained with a sigh.

Zoe slowly walked over to me and sat down on my lap as she rested one hand on my chest, the other on my right shoulder. "What if there was another place we could go?"

I looked up at her, confusion evident on my face. "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Do you know of Lupa?" Zoe asked evenly.

"The mother of Romulus and Remus?" I questioned, hoping that I was correct.

"Wow, you do have some smarts in that brain of yours." Zoe giggled, pressing a light kiss to my forehead, leaning against mine as she closed her eyes. "She leads her own pack of wolves, much like Artemis does, except without a band of female hunters around."

"And why would she give us shelter if we aren't Roman, much less, solely wolves?" I asked, wondering where she was going with this. "I thought you wanted to stay away from others."

"Now that the Titans know of your existence, they will send many hunting parties after you, and by proxy me. As much as I don't like it, we need to move from here and try to find a place for us that will either provide shelter or garner some additional help for us." Zoe informed as she opened her eyes to look me in the eyes.

"Where would we find her?" I asked curiously as I felt Zoe shift on my lap.

"Artemis could get in contact with her the easiest. We don't have any drachmas to contact her on our own, but of all the council, Artemis keeps in touch with her the most." Zoe replied, but her tone became strained at the end.

I reached up to stroke her cheek as I noticed the change. "Is there something wrong?"

She let me brush the back of my hand against her cheek as she looked at me, some kind of emotion in her eyes, but I couldn't make it out. Her eyes showed nerves, love and…

"Lupa has only ever let a pair of werewolves join before. A certain kind." Zoe trailed off.

"A certain kind?" I asked, racking through my mind to figure out what she meant.

After a few seconds it hit me.

"A mated pair." I breathed as I looked up at her in realization. But she was looking at me, her eyes focused on me, but she didn't seem to be aware that she was staring at me. "Zoe?"

Zoe POV

Lemon Ahead!

(Sabrina talking)

This is the best time to strike. His neck is bared to you so all it would take is a quick slash and we would never have to deal with his annoying wolf again.

Sometimes I really hate having another voice in my head.

Don't blame this on me, while he is an attractive and loyal person, his wolf is the exact opposite.

Wait, what did you say about Percy?

Even I would be blind not to notice. Those eyes are the most enchanting thing I've ever seen. If it weren't you in control and his wolf wasn't so annoying, I'd have already fucked him seven ways to Sunday. You got a good luck of what he's carrying when you dressed him after you bit him.

…

Oh, now you have nothing to say.

I hate you so much right now.

He's still looking at you, say something to him.

Sure enough as soon as I shook myself out of my thoughts, I noticed that Percy was looking at me with concern on his face as he cradled my face in his hands. I must have been staring at him for a while because he had just called my name and I couldn't help the shiver that raced down my back.

"Hey." I managed to get out, his stare relaxing into a soft frown.

"Are you alright? You kinda disappeared for a little bit."

"My wolf was blabbering."

I'll get you for that, just you wait.

A smile spread across his face as he nodded in understanding, moving one of his hands off my face to my waist. "Is she still trying to take over and eat your soul?"

I let out a light giggle and shook my head slightly. "Not quite. She helped me see something that's right in front of me though." I said, staring into his eyes as I moved one hand into his hair.

"What did she help you see?" Percy asked, starting to lean closer.

I couldn't help but start to lean in as well, only stopping inches from his lips. "You." I breathed out as he closed the distance and captured my lips with his own. He instantly reacted and cupped my face with one hand as the other rested on my hip. I felt his tongue brush against my lower lip, begging for entrance. And I happily complied. His tongue slid into my mouth and pulled my tongue into a slow sensual dance.

Perseus moved the both of us over so that I was pressed against a wall with his body boxing me in, one leg between mine. He moved his head to the side so that he could deepen the kiss even further. I felt one of his hands tangle in my hair while the other traced lightly over my side. My hands were around his neck, pulling him even closer to me. There was no way that a simple kiss should have felt that amazing.

I felt his lips leave mine as he began a slow trail of kisses down my throat, his teeth grazed my pulse point. I gasped and bucked up into him at the sensation. He moaned at my reaction and began sucking on my neck. I shuddered at the sensations coursing through my body. I felt my body curve up against his and I heard him groan louder.

We froze for a moment. He pulled away so that he could look at me. I meet his gaze and I could see his emotions flowing through his expressive eyes, those primarily being love and hesitancy. I could tell that if I asked him too, he would immediately stop.

But before my mind could even start to think on responding to him, his lips were back on mine. I could feel that his movements were a lot slower than they had been before. I knew that he didn't want to feel like he was rushing me.

Taking action, I flipped us so he was the one being pressed into the wall. I could tell he was surprised but he didn't try to switch our positions. This time it was me who was running my tongue over his lips and he willingly allowed me to explore his mouth. I could feel that he was holding himself back from trying to reclaim the kiss. I contemplated allowing him, but I knew that he wouldn't feel comfortable accelerating our relationship. He would be worried that he was pushing me, even though I knew exactly what I wanted right now.

I felt him still for a moment but he began to move again. His hands were slowly making their way up and down my sides. After a minute or so, to give him time to get used to my actions, I began to gently roll my hips against him. His pause was longer this time but he eventually responded. He rolled us back around once more with both of my legs straddling his waist.

He leaned down and started nibbling on my neck. He slowly thrust his crotch against me. I gasped at the feeling as my body once again curved against his. We both let out a moan at the feeling of our crotches colliding together.

I felt him bury his face into the crook of my neck as he thrust against me. We were both shivering and gasping at the sensations as he began a slow, steady, tempo. He kissed me again, harder and more demanding than before.

Feeling especially bold, I allowed my hands to slide down his back. When I reached the edge of his shirt, I slid my hands underneath to brush against his scarred back. He once again paused to pull back and look at me. I leaned up and nipped at his bottom lip as my hands slid further up his back when he reluctantly ended the kiss and pulled back to look at me firmly. "I love you, Zoe."

"Then show me." I found myself whispering, knowing exactly what I was referring to, but couldn't find any part of myself to care or stop. I want this more than I've ever wanted anything in the world. Every cell in my body was telling me that this was right and to do anything but kiss would be wrong.

Perseus ran his hands down my waist towards my thighs to lift me up, my legs automatically wrapping themselves around his waist. He sucked in a breath at the feeling of me pressed so intimately against him. But I didn't care as I trailed kisses along his neck, breathing in that strong masculine scent that was purely Percy. I gasped as I felt his palms slide under the hem of my shorts to cup my backside.

In response I pulled off his shirt, sliding the material across his chest so that I had more access to his skin. My fingers trailing along his pectorals muscle, humming in pleasure as I traced the lines of his muscular torso.

He kissed his way down my throat as he walked me backwards, pushing me back against the walls as he moved his mouth back to my lips. His hands stroked along my thighs, his crotch grinding against my own, moaning at the feel of my skin n his. He blindly made his way through the room, his mouth never leaving mine as he swallowed every moan I let out.

I gasped in surprise as my back hit a door, blindly reaching behind me for the handle to open it. We stumbled inside; the door slamming shut so I guess that Percy had closed it. I let my legs drop and stepped back from Percy. Keeping my eyes on his I pulled my shirt overhead, and threw it across the room and stepped out of my shorts to leave me in a black lace bra and panties.

3rd POV

Perseus straight-up growled at the sight before him, Zoe looked gorgeous completely exposed to him. He ripped his shirt off chucking it to the side, and was on her in a second. He dragged his lips from her collarbone to the top of her breasts, his hands reached behind her to undo the clasp, moving his fingers to her shoulder where he slid the material down her arms and threw it. Her breasts were free, and they were perfect. Full and soft, nipples that seemed to reach for him.

Zoe moaned as Percy's mouth closed around a nipple, his other hand massaging her neglected one, rolling her bud with his fingers. She sunk her hand in his hair, closing her eyes and enjoying the feel of him worshiping her. Not wanting to be selfish she pushed him back so that he landed on the bed. She ran her nose against the skin of his chest as her hands reached for the zipper of his pants. She pushed the material over his hips as she left little bites over his stomach, smirking at the groan he let out.

Percy leant back on his hands to watch her; the feel of her hands and lips so close to where he wanted her drove him wild. Her dark hair tickling his skin had his hips bucking before he could even think. His eyes back hooded as she pulled down his boxers to let his cock spring free. She licked her lips, and his member twitched, anticipation setting get a fire in his veins.

Zoe continued to nip her way up his thighs, her hand curling around his solid length, moaning at how soft and smooth he was while being rock hard. Her mouth watered, she wanted to feel him in her mouth. She stuck her tongue out and licked a line from his base to his tip, swirling her tongue around his head. The strangled groan he let out had her smirking. She wrapped her lips around him, slowly descending until he was touching the back of her throat, she swallowed, and he slipped down her tight channel.

"Fuck…Zoe!" He growled, his fingers fisting in her hair, not directing her movements but holding on to her as she gave him the most intense blow job of a lifetime. His eyes were trained on her stretched lips, the sight of his nine-inch dick sliding out and then back in her warm cavern had him groan. She sucked him off perfectly, going slow at first, swirling her tongue around his head before moving down again, and then she slowly sped up, so that her head bobbed up and down. If she kept this up he wouldn't last long, her gloriously tight throat and endlessly sucking mouth already having him on edge. "Zoe... I'm gonna..."

The female werewolf only sucked harder. She wanted to feel the hot burst of his cum in her mouth, she wanted to taste the evidence of his pleasure, she wanted to taste him, and nothing would stop her. She hollowed her cheeks, and sucked furiously as her tongue caressed the vein in his length. Within minutes his fingers clenched in her hair, holding her against him as his cock twitched in her mouth, and jet after jet of warm come flooded her throat. She drank it all down, moaning happily at having brought him to such heights of pleasure.

Percy pulled her up and hungrily kissed her, groaning at the taste of himself on her tongue. As he plunged the depths of her mouth with his tongue, his fingers trailed down her sides to hook into her panties, which he pulled down her legs, his hand coming to slide a finger through her folds, and he groaned at finding her soaked.

He pulled away from her mouth to grin seductively. "You're making me thirsty, Zoe."

Zoe only dipped her head to kiss him harshly, biting his bottom lip, tugging on it before releasing it. "Then what are you waiting for, Perseus?"

He didn't hesitate. He kissed her mound sweetly, moving down until he was staring at her entrance, breathing in her scent before kissing her more intimately, his tongue stroking along her folds. He ran his hands up the back of her thighs, and then without warning he held her up and places her legs over his shoulder so he had full access to her. He took full advantage and dived back in with a hungry groan.

Zoe rocked her hips against his lips, moans falling from her steadily, her fingers switching between running through his hair to holding him against her. His mouth was heaven against her, his lips and tongue bringing her to such heights that she threatened to fall over the top with every swipe of his tongue. She placed her feet flat against his back, and leant back on her hands, thrusting her hips against him as she cried out in bliss. Her stomach tightening with her impending release.

Percy groaned out in delight as he ate her out, his fingers shifting into claws as they curled into her hips as she trembled against him. He worked his mouth and tongue furiously against her until she was a spasming mess against him. She screamed out his name as she flooded with wetness, her walls tightening around his tongue as he stroked along her walls, tasting all she had to give him, not stopping until all she was capable of was cries and whimpers, and his cock was fully hard again. He could feel her own body starting to shift as her pleasure became sky-high.

Zoe panted, her body twitching as an orgasm washed over her suddenly. The next thing she knew, Percy's body covered hers and his mouth latched on to the racing pulse in her neck, she could feel his hardness sliding along the wet lips of her pussy. Her core ached with the need to have him inside of her. She curled her legs around his waist, and wrapped her arms around his neck, and moaned against his ear. "Perseus…please."

Percy knew what she wanted, because it was exactly what he wanted. He slid his arm under her back, lifting her up slightly so that her back was arched. He covered her mouth with his, passionately kissing her, and then he gingerly slid his cock inside of her. He moaned at how perfect she felt, at how her walls clenched around his dick so gloriously, and when he pulled back to slide back in he couldn't help but moan again. She was so perfect under him. He pulled away from her lips, his free hand pushing a lock of hair away from her face to tuck behind her ear, his thumb stroking along her cheeks as he moaned. "Gods you are so beautiful, Zoe."

Zoe didn't have time to blush because two seconds later, Perseus began to move and any thought but him flew her from mind. She pulled his lips back down to hers, growing increasingly addicted to the feel of his mouth against hers, his kisses deep and searching, as if he was looking for the answers of the universe in her mouth. Her hips moved against his, meeting him thrust for thrust, her pussy clenching around him as his length brought her to complete ecstasy. As he hit the sensitive spot inside her, she gasped against his mouth, her clawed fingers digging into his shoulders and running down his back, drawing blood.

Perseus groaned and instinctively rolled his hips hard against her, the cry she let out had him do it again, and again, just to hear the undeniably sexy sounds of her pleasure. He rolled on his back so that she was on top, his clawed hands gliding to her waist to bounce her against him. He surged forward to take a nipple in his mouth, grunting as she began to twist her hips around him, impaling herself on his dick.

Zoe released a litany of loud cries, her hips moving frantically against him, her channel slickening as she felt her impending orgasm. She stared into his desire filled eyes, her mouth hung open as she moaned, her hips jerking sporadically, her fingers curling in his chest as she screamed in pure bliss. "PERCY!"

Perseus clutched her waist tight, pumping his cock into her a few more times before he growled out his release. "Zoe!" And he bit her shoulder as his cock pulsed inside her clenching walls, releasing his cum into her welcoming channel. She was too perfect around him, he felt his vision almost blacken as she milked him, her spasms feeling so good around him. He felt like he would never stop coming, load upon load releasing from his member before he collapsed boneless against his bed, Zoe falling spent against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her as he tried to regain his breath, little bursts of electricity bursting through his veins.

Zoe was completely satiated, and the night's sexual activities finally hitting her as her eyes began to droop. Before she knew it she was asleep, soft breaths puffing from her parted lips to breeze against her mate's chest.

Perseus smiled in wonder at Zoe, her peaceful face making his chest feel tight with affection for this beautiful woman who made him happy. He reached over for his quilt and covered them both as he licked over the mating mark he gave her before he too joined her in slumber.

A/N: Some of you may be wondering why it may seem rushed for the two of them to get together, but you have to remember what they've been through and how much they care for one another. Every couple moves at their own pace and as long as they're happy, that's all that matters.

Needless to say, thank you again for continuing to read the story! Sorry for taking so long to get this chapter out & Merry Christmas!
