I chuckled as Artemis shooed us away. Percy gave me playful glare before smiling slightly and pecking me on the lips. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, his snaking around my waist. I twisted my fingers in his hair and pulled him down for a kiss. The kiss was gentle and soft and I savored every second his lips were on mine. Percy smiled into the kiss, ever once asking for entrance. I resisted the urge to frown. I liked the sensation of his tongue running through my mouth.

I licked his bottom lip, asking for entrance. I realized that every time we had a little make out session, his tongue was exploring my mouth. I had never explored his. Percy shivered and moaned into my mouth. Taking this to my advantage, I plunged my tongue in his mouth. He did nothing to stop me as I let my tongue roam in every corner of his mouth. I ran my tongue over his front teeth then his bottom teeth. He moaned again and pulled me closer to him.

"Get a room!" Kinzie said.

Percy pulled back and frowned at her. "We did."

"I did not need to know that!"

Percy chuckled. He lifted me up and wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried us over to our tent and set me down on his desk chair. He sat cross legged on the floor in front if me, gazing calmly at my face. I looked down, biting my lip. I heard Percy sigh in content and looked up.

Suddenly, his face went pale.

"What is it, Percy?" I asked.

"N-nothing," he stuttered. I raised an eyebrow skeptically at him. He sighed. "Loner's asking me to.......claim you."

I stared at him in confusion. "It means, to mix my scent with yours so that other wolves know that you are mine," he explained.

I nodded. "How does it work?" I ask.

He bit his lip. "I have to - um - bite you on the neck," he said.

My face went rigged. "W-what?"

"In order to claim you, or mark as wolves say, I need to bite your neck," he said.

"B-but..."

"I won't do it until you want me to. I would never do that without asking you," he told me seriously.

I smiled at him. It was good to know that he'd wait until I was ready to do something like that. "What if........ What if I am ready?" I asked.

"Then all you have to do is tell me, and I'll mark you," he said.

"Tonight," I said.

"What?" He asked.

"I want you to mark me tonight."

"Are you sure? I can wait if you want. There's no rush-"

"I'm sure. I want idiot males to know I'm yours as soon as possible. So you will mark me tonight, or you will have an angry mate to deal with," I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Ok. If you're sure that's what you want, then I'll make it happen," he told me. I smiled.

"Thank you Percy."

"Any time. But I will not go any further than marking you until we're married," he said seriously.

"I agree." He smiled at me before taking my hand and leading me to the fire.

"Time for lunch," he said. I followed him and sat down at my seat next to him. Our lunch was placed in front of us and we dug in. After ten minutes of eating the delicious meal, Percy and I escaped to the forest where we spent the rest of the day practicing archery, kissing and all around enjoying each other's company.

Four hours later, we lay down on the soft green grass in the middle of a beautiful meadow we found. Percy turned his head to me and smiled a small smile. But the look on his face told me exactly what was coming.

"Are you sure you want me to mark you?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm sure. I want this. I love you and there is nothing more I could possibly want than to be yours," I told him, never taking my eyes off his.

"I just wanted to make sure Zoë. I never want to do something you're uncomfortable with. Please tell me if I'm ever going to fast. I just want to make sure that this is what you truly want," he explained.

"I want you," I said taking his hand. "Now come on. It's time for dinner."

We stood up and walked back to the camp. We sat down at our seats and our steaks were placed in front of us. I looked over at Percy's plate and giggled a bit when I noticed his steak sauce was blue. Percy sent me a playful glare before we dug into our food.

"Why are you two in such a hurry?" Artemis asked.

"I owe Zoë a - erm- favor," Percy answered.

The look on Artemis's face said that she knew exactly what 'favor' Percy owed me, or at least had a pretty good guess. I told her with my eyes exactly what was happening tonight. She nodded in understanding. Then she did something that scared me to no end. She smirked.

"Why don't you tell everyone just what favor you owe Zoë," she suggested innocently.

"Well - um -"

"Percy's gonna mark me," I blurted out. The Hunters stared at me. Then they all cracked up laughing.

"Oh gods! I haven't laughed that hard since Percy pranked Phoebe," Thalia said, wiping tears from her eyes.

"What's so funny?" Percy asked. Thalia shook her head.

"Night guys. See you on the morning," she said. One by one, every single Hunter filed to their tents until Percy and I were the only ones left.

"I'm ready, Percy," I said, snaking my arms around his neck and looked him in the eyes, completely serious.

"All right. But not here. I have a sound proof barrier around my tent. Should control any sound we make," he said. I blushed velvet. Percy chuckled, lifting me up and once again wrapping my legs around his waist. He carried me back to our tent and set me down on the bed.

"Now listen to me. You can't tease me while I'm doing this. I may not be able to control Loner from marking AND mating you if you tease us. Second, this will hurt like Hades at first since my canines will be going into your neck. Ok?" He told me.

I nodded. Percy gave me one last look before he kissed me. I immediately grabbed his neck and pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. I let out a moan as he swept his tongue along my bottom lip. His lips left mine, and I tangled my hands in his hair as he trailed kisses along my jaw to my neck, until he reached the spot where my neck and shoulder met. Electricity surged through me as he kissed my sweet spot.

Percy must have felt it to because he kissed me there again. He looked up at me, asking if I was ready. I nodded my head yes and he bent his head down to my neck again before kissing me there one last time. I felt his canines brush up against my skin and I shivered in anticipation. The next thing I knew, he was sinking his teeth into my flesh.

I screamed. Pain ripped through my body as his razor sharp teeth tore through my flesh. For a moment it felt like Ladon had bitten me again. My neck burned where he bit me. I felt as if a poison were now coursing through my veins. Then the pain abruptly stopped. My scream turned into a moan as the pain became pleasure. The harsh burning I had felt moments before became a passionate flame, gentle and soothing. The poison that was flooding through me became raw passion and love. I moaned as Percy pulled his canines out of my flesh and licked the blood trickling from the small punctures.

Percy looked down at me and smiled. "Mine," he growled softly.

"Only yours," I said, pulling him into a light kiss. When we pulled back, Percy got into his sweats and I got into mine before we curled up and fell asleep in one another's arms.

Hi guys! In order to make up for the absence in updates, I promise to update at least every other day for the rest of the week and/or month. Ideas have been coming to me in waves, so it may be a while before I stop updating. Not like you guys are complaining though! I know I'm rushing into things a little, but this is how I wanted it to be. They still have a lot to go through before they get married and have kids though. These mates still have Annabeth to worry about! Anywho, hope you enjoyed!
