Octavian sat in his office, writing on papers. He was checking over, reviewing the plan two times, three times, four times.

It had to be perfect. It had to work.

Today was the Omega's birthday. Today, Octavian would have everything he needed to complete his plan.

Octavian was chuckling to himself when he heard a whine from the corner of the room.

His head snapped over to where his mate, Luke, was handcuffed to a peg hammered into the wall.

"I'm sorry," he snapped, "did you not see me working?"

Luke looked him in the eye. "I've been here for the past three days!"

"So?" Octavian asked.

"I want out!" Luke yelled. "I didn't ask for this any more than you did. It's obvious you and your wolf never wanted me for a mate, and I accepted that rejection a long time ago. If you let me go, I will never bother you again!"

Octavian growled and his eyes turned red. Luke gulped and pulled himself into a ball.

"Who said you were leaving? I decide if you go, where you go, when you go, and what you do there. You are in there because you decided to take off in the woods in the middle of the night. If you're looking for someone to blame, check out a mirror."

"I never should have crossed these lands in the first place." Luke spat on the floor.

Octavian shot over to his mate. "Want to repeat that?" He growled.

Luke was stubbornly silent.

"That's what I thought." He smirked. "Now you're just going to sit there like a good little pup while your master does his work."

Bryce chose that moment to enter the Alpha's office. He immediately felt the tension in the room. "Alpha, the warriors are ready."

Octavian grinned. "Perfect. We'll leave now and arrive by dawn."

Jason and Percy came to a stop in the middle of the woods. "This is the spot. It's my favorite place."

Percy looked around. There was a small river running by two feet away from him. They were surrounded by trees; so much that it concealed them like a hidden room. Percy could instantly see how much Jason loved the privacy and the quiet.

"I love it." He whispered.

Jason smiled. "A-are you ready?" He asked nervously.

Percy slowly nodded.

"It's okay if you're not. I mean, I can wait for as long as you need-"

"I'm fine." Percy laughed. "I'm ready."

Jason nodded. "Okay. Alright."

"You shift right here, and I'll go behind a tree." Percy said, backing away.

Jason nodded again before he went out of sight.

Percy took off his hoodie, shirt, and jeans. He folded them on the ground. He shifted into his wolf. Thalassa was covered in black fur with piercing green eyes.

He stayed behind the tree, listening to the shifting and cracking of bones from Jason.

When the wolf finally did peek out, he saw Caelum.

Caelum had dirty blonde fur and Jason's blue eyes, practically sparking with energy. Caelum wasn't facing them at the moment, so Thalassa took the opportunity to admire his mate.

Caelum turned and caught Thalassa staring at him. The Alpha approached the Omega slowly, but Thalassa threw himself on top of his mate in excitement. On the inside, Percy was blushing, but his wolf was ecstatic at the contact.

Apparently, so was Caelum. Hello, little mate, he spoke inside their head.

Both Percy and Thalassa melted at the husky voice. Hi, they whispered back.

Caelum gently licked Thalassa's cheek. I've been waiting so long to meet you.

The Omega climbed off of the wolf and stood. So have I, he thought. My father always told stories of vicious, tyrannical Alphas that mistreated their power and pack members. Because I didn't know you well, I almost thought you were like them. But now, I know different.

Caelum bumped noses with Thalassa. I'm so glad you think so. But please, don't dismiss vicious Alphas from your mind. They do exist, and although they are not near us, they are not to be doubted.

Thalassa did some sort of wolfy shrug. You know what they say. Out of sight, out of mind.

Caelum yipped in laughter.

The Alpha and the Omega chased each other in their space for hours. It was at least noon by the time Percy and Jason decided to put a leash back on their wolves.

The two mates changed back into human forms and dressed themselves. Jason took Percy's hand and, just as they were about to leave the tiny grove, spun Percy in a circle and dipped him.

Percy squealed in surprise and looked up at Jason, who had one hand on his back, the other still entwined with his own.

Jason gently smiled down at Percy.

Percy stared back at Jason, and felt himself leaning forward.

Both werewolves knew where this was going to go, and Percy was a little scared. What would happen after? Would Jason decide that Percy wasn't good enough to have for a mate? Would he reject him?

All thoughts were lost the moment Jason's lips touched his.

Sparks. Electric currents ran between the two males. There was enough energy to charge a home in the midst of a storm. Percy melted into the kiss and submitted to his Alpha.

Both of their wolves relished in every touch one gave the other. As the kiss went on, Jason brought Percy up from the dip so that they were standing properly.

When they came up for air, Jason rested his forehead on Percy's.

"You're beautiful," the Alpha whispered to his mate. "I am so glad I found you; my wolf and I have been waiting all our lives to meet our mate, and when we finally did, he was the perfect person I could have asked for."

Percy smiled and kissed Jason's nose. "Thank you, Alpha. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect match, either."

They stood, head to head, chest to chest, fingers entwined, slowly rocking in a circle without even realizing it.

"I love you," Jason whispered. "I hope you don't think it's too soon, and I seriously hope that I haven't scared you off, but I love you, Perseus Jackson."

Percy grinned. His eyes brimmed with tears as he threw his arms around Jason's shoulders. "I love you too, Jason." He whispered into the Alpha's ear. "I love you so much it scares me."

Jason laughed and kissed Percy again. Neither could get enough of this amazing feeling that was spreading throughout them. So that's why mates were always making out in the hallways at school, Percy thought. I can't get enough of him.

They kissed once more, and Jason squeezed Percy's hand. "How about we go spend the rest of your birthday with our friends, huh?"

Percy blushed and nodded.

So they left the grove, hearts thumping and thoughts soaring so high they could be mistaken for planes.

They are soooo cute! But I could have found a better way to end this adorable scene! Urghh….

But the danger is yet to come….mwahaha…..
