Percy froze, looking at the Alpha. The entire hallway was deadly silent. One could hear a pin drop.

Percy was still slightly afraid of the Alpha. Given his position as an Omega, that wasn't too surprising.

What was surprising, however, was what Percy decided to do next.

Percy ran.

Without looking back, he dropped his backpack on the floor and booked it to the nearest exit. Another growl came from the Alpha. "Don't let him get away!" He yelled.

Unfortunately for him, Percy was excellent at dodging and running. In this case, there was no exception. He ducked under arms and between legs and made it to the door. From there, he slammed into the metal and pushed the bar, racing down the steps.

Jason wasn't far behind him, but when Jason opened the door, he saw no sign of his mate. Caelum focused on his scent to track him down.

Percy burst through the front door of his home, turned around, slammed it, and locked it. When he faced the room again, Sally and Poseidon sat frozen on the couch holding papers, watching as their son slid down the door until he reached the floor.

"Percy, it's 11:15 in the morning. Why are you home so early?" Sally asked.

Percy breathed heavily. "Alpha Jason found his mate…at the school."

Sally's face brightened. "That's wonderful! Hera will be so pleased to know! What happened next?"

"His mate…ran away." Percy said.

"Oh." Sally said. "Did you go chasing after them?"

"No." Percy gulped. "I am his mate."

Sally and Poseidon froze. "Care to repeat that?" Poseidon said.

"I'm the Alpha's mate." Percy whispered.

Just then, someone rang the doorbell. All three of the Jacksons jumped.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" Jason called out from the porch.

Percy jumped up and hid behind his father. He knew it was childish, but the Alpha always intimidated him.

Sally approached the door and undid the locks Percy had put.

When the door opened, a sweaty Alpha stood panting on their front step. "I'm sorry to interrupt…your morning," he said, "but I think someone very important to me is inside of this house."

Sally smiled. "Oh…Of course." She stepped aside and made room in the doorway. "Please come in, Alpha Jason."

"Thank you." Jason stepped into the house as Sally closed the door. When she finished with that, she left the room silently and headed towards the phone.

Poseidon stared Jason down. "So you are mates with my son?"

Percy blushed at his father's tone.

So did Jason, and he straightened his posture. "Yes sir."

"And what exactly do you plan to do with him?" Poseidon asked. Percy stayed behind him, wondering where this side of his father had come from. For as long as Percy had known, Poseidon was kind and funny; never strict.

"I plan to get to know him." Jason said. "I want to learn every little detail about your son, from his favorite foods to his nervous habits. I just want to be there for him whenever he needs me and be there even when he doesn't." Jason smiled a little. "I've been dreaming about having a mate since I was one-year-old."

Poseidon studied Jason for a little more before sighing. "It's not like I can stop you, Alpha. But fair warning: hurt my family, and nothing, especially something as simple as a status, will stop me from finding you."

Jason gulped and nodded. Poseidon stepped aside so that Percy was in his view. Percy smiled shyly at Jason, and he grinned. But both jumped as the doorbell sounded again.

Jason pulled open the door and his eyes widened. Zeus and Hera stood on the porch, grinning.

"I heard somebody found his mate!" Hera cried. She wrapped her arms around her son and squealed. "I'm so happy for you, sweetie." Then Hera noticed Percy standing awkwardly to the side. "Is this him?" She asked. Jason nodded.

Hera squealed again and pulled Percy into a hug. "Oh, he's simply adorable. This is perfect! Sally, isn't it just perfect? Our sons: mates! Who would've thought?"

Sally laughed at her friend's enthusiasm. "No one but the Moon Goddess and the Oracle could have seen this one coming, Hera."

Zeus stood before Percy, giving a him a look not much different from the one Poseidon had been giving Jason moments before. Percy gulped.

Then his face broke out into a smile and he wrapped Percy up in his arms. "Welcome to the family!" The former Alpha cried.

Percy smiled nervously and wrapped his arms around Zeus' waist. "T-thank you." He said.

Once everyone was inside, the two families sat on opposite couches facing each other.

"Now, we have to discuss how this is going to work." Hera said cheerfully. "It's obvious that Percy will have to move in with us into the Alpha house; a werewolf always needs to be near their mate, especially an Alpha."

Percy's eyes widened. "Move in? A-are you sure that's necessary? We don't live that far away from the house as it it..."

Zeus chuckled. "Yes. I'm sorry, Percy, it is necessary."

Percy looked downward. "How soon?"

"Tomorrow night, by the latest." Hera smiled. "Don't worry, sweetie, you'll be able to see your parents every day! It'd be like you never left home."

So Zeus and Poseidon left the room to go pack Percy's bags.

"Jason, dearest, can you go out and stand on the porch?" Hera asked her son.

He stared at his mother in confusion but did as she asked.

"Alright!" Hera clapped her hands and rubbed them together. "Now we get down to the down and dirty stuff."

Percy looked at the women in confusion. "What's the 'down and dirty'?"

Sally and Hera sighed. "Children." They said simultaneously.

Percy's eyes widened.

Hera began. "Because you are an Omega, Percy, your internal system is similar to that of a female. Which means that you are able to have children."

Percy blushed harder than before. "B-but I…"

"Yes, we realize you have male genitals; it only means that when you give birth, the baby will come out via cesarean section, or just plain old c section."

"Oh." He whispered, looking into his lap.

"I know, the speech is so uncomfortable, but you have to be warned. Not all Omegas have this ability; most do, but not all. And those that are able to be bred...they're held very dear to the pack."

Percy nodded.

"Now that that's out of the way," Hera snapped back into her cheery personality, "we can get going! Jason!"

He opened the door and stepped back into the house. Zeus and Poseidon finished packing all of Percy's bags. Together, the families walked to the Alpha's home.
