Author's Note 3:

For those who have read chapter 3 already, I'm sorry but I re-wrote it. When I re-read the first chapter from the prologue until the last chapter I've written, I had a mistake so I re-wrote the whole part. Sorry again. I know it's shorter but it won't be confusing and I cut out the mistake I've done. Here's the re-written one:

Chapter 3

Camp Half-Blood

When Alpha walked out of the pavilion, Thalia, along with the other Huntresses, ran up to him.

"Excuse me, Alpha?" Thalia asked shyly.

"What is it, Huntress?" Alpha asked in a soft tone he hasn't used in a while.

"My name is Thalia Grace, lieutenant of Artemis and I was wondering if we could ask permission from you?" She asked.

"Permission for what?" Asked Alpha.

"Since you're training us, we would like to get permission to skip training for a while to ask help from the Roman camp. My brother is from there and I don't know what I'd do without him by my side during this war." Thalia said looking at the ground anxious to know Alpha's answer.

"Have you asked Chiron?" Alpha asked.

"No, we haven't." Thalia replied.

"I'm surprised you went to ask permission from me before Chiron but permission granted." Alpha said and Thalia looked at him.

"What about Chiron?" She asked.

"I'll take care of that." Alpha said.

What happened next surprised Alpha, the Huntresses and the campers who walked by because Thalia hugged Alpha.

"Thank you." Thalia whispered to him.

Alpha nodded and pulled away from the hug. He watched as Thalia and the Huntresses left Camp Half-Blood. He then started walking to the Big House when they were out of sight.

"Chiron?" Alpha called out.

"Yes? Who is it?" Chiron asked and was surprised to see Alpha when he opened the door. Chiron let him in and closed the door.

"I've let the Huntresses leave camp for a while. They will be arriving in Camp Jupiter to ask for help." Alpha said as he sat on the couch.

"May I ask a question?" Chiron asked.

"Shoot." Alpha replied.

"Have you been to Camp Jupiter before?" Chiron asked, "I'm sure none of the soldiers or troops of Chaos would know the name of that camp unless they've been there before."

Busted.

Alpha should have known that he shouldn't have said the Roman camp's name. He already blew his cover to Annabeth and he's doing the same to Chiron.

"Apparently, yes. I have been there." Alpha answered.

"Alpha," Chiron said softly, "Are you Percy?"

There was a short pause before Alpha responded.

"What gave it away?" Alpha asked and took his hood and mask off. Chiron seemed surprised to see the scar on the left side of his face but didn't say anything about it.

"Your fatal flaw." Chiron simply stated.

"What about my fatal flaw?" Alpha asked.

"You would never hurt your friends. You would find a way to help them." Chiron said.

Alpha slightly smiled and said, "You've never changed, Chiron. You're still that smart centaur I always knew."

Chiron chuckled and said, "Thank you, my boy but I believe you want me to keep it a secret?"

"Yes." Alpha simply said.

"You won't make me swear on the River Styx?" Chiron asked.

"Chiron, I trust you." Alpha said while putting his mask back on and standing up.

"You can count on me but, my boy. You'll have to tell the others eventually. A secret like that won't be a secret any longer." Chiron said.

"I know. It's only you and Annabeth who knows for now." Alpha said as he put his hood back on and smiled slightly. He walked out of the Big House and went straight to the arena.
