Chapter 10

Dedication (just because I feel like they deserved it)-to zerona0108 for the constant votes, words of appreciation, and comments, and TheMadMachine for showing me that you've been reading my book.

I watched them all for the next half hour as they held fast, and I smiled, glad that they pulled through. A few had passed out at the end, but most including Thalia, Phoebe, Zoe, and Bianca. A few that had been resurrected as a part of Artemis' dying wish to the fates...to resurrect the most loyal and strong of her hunters to help continue to lead the Hunt. And if she survived then they wouldn't be able to die since they were all tied to me and Artemis, and since they were all immortal. Everyone stopped and stood, and then Thalia, Zoe, and Phoebe rushed up and surrounded around Artemis as she started to stir.

"Hi Milady" I said and her eyes, now a full iris of silver, her hair had turned a moon-light silver color as well that waved like flames in the night, Thalia's hair had turned a darker black, and her eyes were now an electric-neon blue. Otherwise than the change of hair, eyes, and teeth size in everyone according to their personalities, they were still the same. Faster, enhanced reflexes, motor skills, and everyone was now part werewolf, and that meant that they could smell and hear threats mush before they actually reached us.

Artemis shot up and looked around, and then at herself, and then at me, and I stood slowly with my hands out to try and calm her.

"Artmeis this was the only way to save you, I couldn't ask for your permission, so I asked for theirs, and they let me change you" I said and put my glamour on "it's still me Percy (I took off my glamour) but we are all different now, and I can't change it. You may be a little disoriented after the arrow through the chest that you took, and the long sleep that you had. Plus your hunter's instincts are going crazy right now and everything is coming at you at once. You're handling it better than I thought that you would" I was now at her chest with an inch between us, and then she hugged me, and I stiffened as she cried into my shoulder.

"Thank-you for saving me and my hunters" she said "when Orion's arrow went through my heart, I thought that I had been killed, but a tether between you and me kept me in this world...Why?" now everyone was looking at me and I smiled sheepishly.

"So after I thought that I had caused your death, I went down to Tartarus and challenged him to a duel" I said scratching the back of my neck, and drawing blood absent-mindlessly "he had explained to me that you were my mate and that I was keeping you in this world. He told me that on order for us both to die, we both have to be injured in the exact same way, and in the exact same spots in order for us to be killed. Now along with the girls, in which the same rule applies to them, but--"

"Hey I know" Thalia said out of nowhere "we need a pack name" I was confused.

"We're the Hunt, right" Amy said looking at Artemis for reassurance

"Yes we are still The Hunt, but we are also a pack of monster-hunting werewolves" Artemis said and I thought about a good name, as were the others. Then a child of Athena said something, and it was good too.

"How about The Silver-Moon Hunters" she said and everyone nodded and hummed in agreement. I spent the next half hour teaching everyone how to use the mist to glamour themselves, and make it so convincing that a titan won't be directed otherwise, and it was good timing too because as soon as everyone was done a gold flash came in signalling the entrance of Apollo, and everyone widened their eyes in shock at the fact that they weren't vaporized because of not looking away from it.

Oh we can also speak to each-other in our minds, and we aren't effected by any flashing or godly powers, or their dampened to a very low level of effect I said and everyone looked at me in awe before aiming all of their bows at Apollo as he materialized. That all had happened in the millisecond before Apollo had actually re-materialized showing how we all could slow-down time for short periods.

"Ladies, Ladies" Apollo said twirling around and then he saw Artemis, standing and healthy, and he immediately crushed her in a hug "Artemis, you're okay" he pulled away and she nodded as he looked over her face.

"Yeah, why" she asked looking at me in suspicion and I looked at the ground not wanting to meet her eye for what he said next

"You were unconscious for about a week, and Percy was in Tartarus, or so it seems, for half of that" he said and I could feel the anger coming off of her as she shot a moon-blast of power at me, and I was blasted back and she came up to me and stepped on my chest with an arrow aimed at my face.

"You-you" she said and then let the arrow go into my shoulder and walked off into her tent, and I sat up with the arrow in my shoulder as everyone, but Apollo, for once, grinned at my predicament. I ripped the arrow from my shoulder with a grunt and went to the entrance of Artemis' tent, and I knocked and the apparently had gotten used to her new powers because as soon as I hit the knocker once, a lasso of Moonlight energy wrapped around my ankle and I fell backwards and was dragged into her room with a yelp of surprise.

For the next three hours she lectured me about not telling her things, keeping secrets, and forced me to spill all of them, including the fact that I felt this spark between us every time we touched and that I knew that it was the Mate-bond, but I didn't tell her for fear that it would freak her out even more than she had been.

"I-I feel it too" she suddenly said "every time that we touch there's like a spark of electricity that goes between us and I can't help but see it as my developing feelings for you" she said and I was shocked, then she kissed me suddenly. On the lips too, and the kissing went on for a short while, before we completed the ritual and declared each-other as mates for life, and that nothing could take over one of us nor harm us. Luckily the mating process didn't involve us taking off our clothes and...doing it, but it did make us tear each-others shirts to shreds to put the silvery tattoo of the marking symbol between us. Thank to being mated to a virgin goddess, and that would stay true until she decided that it was time.

We got out to a full audience of Hunters, all aiming bows at my face as I got out, and I looked around for Apollo and extended my presence and I didn't feel him there.

"Don't worry ladies, she is going to be the one to do it when she's ready" I said "I can't do anything to her besides mark her, and her mark me with the symbol making us mates okay"

Their bows wavered and then Artemis came out, with a new shirt, and she confirmed what had happened, leaving out the part about her having to be the one to take my virginity, and let me spawn with her. I could tell that she was embarrassed with that, and I smirked at her, and she punched me daring me to say what I was thinking under the threat of her moon-blasting me twenty feet into the ground.

Then there was a flash of thunder and Zeus came down, and I shifted a second before he saw me and I stood in-front of Artemis growling with protectiveness. I knew that Zeus was her father, but he didn't know that I was still alive, and I planned on keeping it that way for now.

"Silver, Calm yourself" I tilted my head to look at Artemis

Really, Silver I said and she shrugged, only so that I could see it though, and some of the hunt as well I actually like it I said and sat as Zeus came forwards, and I growled lowly as he touched her shoulder and Artemis shot me a look saying 'stop it', and then he hugged her. I guess the king of the gods really did love his children after-all, and I grinned at Artemis as her father cried into her. She gave me the middle-finger and I grinned wider showing all of my teeth, and then I was glad that her new shirt covered-up our mark, and that the glamour fooled him because otherwise I would've had to incapacitate him to tell him what everything meant. He would still have hated me for it, but I couldn't care less, even if I would have to tell him in the future, or if he found-out somehow.

"Hi father" Artemis said once he pulled away and they talked for a second and then Zeus had Artemis touch my head and the hunters either held onto Artemis' and each-others hands or they went over to me and touched my head, and then I realized something.

I can't go to Olympus I yelled quickly and Artemis' face, as well as the other's faces turned into shock at the realization and I jumped to get out of everyone's grip, but I was still covered in light and next thing I knew I was in the throne room. My tail had connected Artemis, me, and the girls beside me, and transported us all us to the thrones as Zeus flashed us there, and I stood frozen for a second as nothing happened. All of the girls watched me with anxiousness and Zeus flashed to his throne, as well as Artemis, and I sat and waited for pain, but it didn't come. I thought about what he had sworn me from, and then it clicked. He had forgotten to make me swear to never be able to enter Olympus, just their sacred grounds and their children's camps and environments.

I sighed in relief, I was fine, and I sat-down and relaxed, and Artemis looked at me in worry and I nodded at her to say that I was fine and then it clicked for everyone in the hunt, and they smiled in silent victory at Zeus' mistake. I put a paw up saying for them all to continue, and they seemed shocked but got over it as my little display of fear, and they talked.

"We have gotten word that our enemy, Tartarus, has been defeated by an unknown source, and we want you to bring them here, so that we may ask them why they defended us, and so that we may reward them for their valor" Zeus said and I huffed in shock, since when was Zeus a big softie.

"What's his problem" Athena said and I was shocked how did she know that I was a--- I looked underneath me to see that my male-parts were visible in wolf form. I forgot about the nakedness I had in this form and I rolled my eyes and grinned at Thalia, who just smacked me up-side-the-head and muttered a small insult to shut me up. I glared at her, but kept quiet as the gods looked at me in confusion, and I saw Poseidon, Apollo, Hades, and Hestia looking at me in shock. They knew who I was, and I just winked and they smirked for a split second and we all turned to Mr. D as he spoke...about me.

"Who's the wolf" he said "the werewolf in our throne room" he said and I rolled my eyes, for a drunken god, he was still rubbed off onto from Zeus' attitude, and Thalia, Phoebe, Zoe, and Bianca surrounded me, and I raised my head up to look and over their shoulders and they had all gotten their armor out and were standing in-front of me protectively.

I opened a shadow under the four of them and they appeared now behind me, and I grinned at them over my shoulder as their armor disappeared as the bent over in shock, pale as Nico, where was he anyways. I would think that I would've seen him by now, but I haven't, and I didn't think that it was because of a good thing. My armor appeared over my fur as I stepped forwards, and I spoke using my wolf voice, making everyone shiver with disapproval.

"I am their guardian, I am Silver, Primordial or Shadows, Light, Water, Fire, Monsters, and a few other things that I don't want to say right now" I said and my fur flared showing my power and everyone lifted their feet onto their thrones as a raging fire swept across the floor. Except for the gods that had voted for me to not be betrayed by them all: Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Apollo, Artemis (of coarse), and Ares (Don't know if I'm missing one or two so please tell me).

"So I dare you, talk to me again and I will incinerate you" I said and no one spoke "as goes with my mate, Artemis, and my sisters, the Hunters behind me" I was now at Hestia's hearth with all of the hunters behind me, and they shivered. 

"Well we are going to flash you to camp, and then you'll be on your way" I felt slight fear, and then I saw a flying shape underneath us, Iron Man. Where was he going? I looked at the girls and they nodded, so I looked back at the gods. 

"I apologize but I cannot come to the camp with you" I said going to the edge of Olympus, and looking down at Tony where he flew to in his suit, and it was a ship, a giant camouflaged ship that blended in with the sky. What was that for? I cleared it from my mind and jumped off, spreading my powers to my back and making wings of shadows appear. Letting me fly, or rather glide with Tony as he went to the ship, I presumed. When I landed on the top I shifted and it was a good thing that my armor appears after I shift, because a jet decided to dislodge itself from the track and ram into me. It exploded onto me in a blast of flames and heat, but I held my ground and sucked in the heat with my powers, and then I cast the metal into my suit for an extra two or something sheets of metal that would keep the bottom of my robes from burning the ships airline into a mess of melted cement and asphalt. I went over to the door to the command room and I was met with the scene of military people dressed in black, with zip-ties on their wrists and feet keeping them from moving or helping one another. 

There was a crash underneath me and I looked at the furious military people and I sighed, and then I got out one of my knives. I went over to the one with the nicer suit and cut his bonds first, and he immediately grabbed me and tried to pin me down, but I flipped him as he tried to pin my arms behind me to force me to the floor. I put my foot on his chest and put the knife at his neck. Point first, not side. 

"I am trying to help you stubborn human" I growled and he let a little fear into his scent but it was quickly pushed down and I stepped off of him and tossed the knife onto his chest. It didn't stab him, I made sure of that, and then I pulled out my twin swords, Tempest and Aurora, and stabbed them into the metal underneath me. I pulled them out, stabbed them in, and repeated until I was standing in the middle of a circle, and the captain had gone over and freed his troops and they stood to the side watching as I cut through the floor like it was butter. 

I put away the swords and I made glasses of shadow and ice, and I handed them to the captain. 

"Put these on" I growled and I took my knife out of his hand

"And how do we know that these aren't just something that you can use to capture us with?" he said and I growled lowly, and he shivered as I glared at him. 

"If I wanted to kill you, or recapture you, I would've done it when you were helpless and tied us" I said and pulled back my cloak to reveal my countless knives as I put away the knife I gave to them. The others gulped at the sight, and I shrugged it off "so put on the dam glasses" and once they did I immediately shot white-hot fire at the series of holes that I had created with my sword. I could've just burned through the floor in the first place, but then they would've died of heat-stroke, or been seriously burned and unconscious. 

When I was done I snapped my fingers and the glassed returned to their former states, ice to mist, or water vapor, and the shadows to their respective places in the shadows of the walls. I pulled out my pistols as the floor slid slightly down as the hot metal tried to hold my weight. 

"Don't follow" I said and the floor slid slightly more, and I conjured silver guns with my powers since I knew that they weren't going to listen to me "but since you are a soldier and are more than likely not going to listen, take one or two each, and come down once you see that you can." The floor decided to break then and I got ready for action, and as soon as I got below I saw bullets flying everywhere, and the screams of dying, pain, and war. It was normal, being in the middle of a war-zone I mean, but usually I wasn't falling in-between empty air while walkways and side halls filled with back and good people shooting at each-other. 

The platform finally landed on a bridge-walkway about a hundred feet below where I had originally fallen and I looked to either side and I saw the walk-way already filled with mercenaries in black aiming rifles at me, and an insignia with a human skull on-top of octopus tentacles. I smiled. 

"Ladies" I said stepping off of the metal platform, and then the craziness started. I quickly flipped backwards and hit the first one in-front of my in the face making him fly up on the ground and they all fired and killed the next people next to die, and I grabbed the side-railing as I fell and I pushed off of it and ten shots, ten head-shots easily cutting through their helmet armor and felling them all. I quickly flipped in the air and landed on my feet. I looked at my cloak and saw several bullet-marks in the tens, and I looked around before raising my hand and creating a slide made of silver going from the hole above and spiraling around to land on the top walkway. They didn't waste any time on jumping down and immediately shooting as they slide down, a bullet per person as well. 

I hummed in surprise, I expected them to be highly trained, but that was just insane. I jumped off of the railing and shot at the others with the same insignia as I had seen earlier, and then here was a surprise. I looked down and I saw a man in a mask with a completely metal arm fighting Captain America, and at the last second he looked up and shot backwards as I landed where he would've been. I took over fighting for the moment, he was strong, strong like Steve, who just watched from the side for a second before running off somewhere else as he knew I could handle this guy. 

"So what should I do first" I said and then it hit me, and I ran at him faking a tackle and then I slid under him, knocked his legs out from under his body making him fall on his face, and then I shot at him with a pistol and the bullet rang as it hit something else metal. He rolled to the side just as I shot, but looked at the hole in his arm from the bullet, and then he came at me, punching, using the stuff around us, and I threw my guns away. They would reappear at their holsters in a second and I blocked, he blocked, and I gained the upper hand and send him flying backwards with a punch to the chest. He jumped over the edge and I followed, making a whip of silver and I lassoed his leg and pulled him up sending me down further, he didn't expect that because he was trying to reach the whip's coil as he fell back down and I used my speed and power to jump up and I met him as he was least expecting it and punched his face so hard that it would've broken a regular mortal's neck, but he just had a broken jaw, and he flew to the side so fast that he broke through a metal bridge way, and slammed into the wall of the side of the ship, unconscious. I saw Natasha in her Black Widow suit and I rushed over to help as she fought off three mercenaries. I shot two in the leg letting her knock them out, but the third got a bullet to the head as he had been dragging her by her hair to knock her against the wall. 

"You okay" I said as I landed and she nodded turning to me

"Cool suit" she said and I grinned

"You haven't seen anything" I said "call everyong out of the ship"

"Why" she said

"Because I'm gonna blow it up, and I don't want the good people inside when I do" I said and she nodded, touched her ear-piece, and ordered a retreat.

I had gone over to the metal-arm man and I stuffed him in a medium container for rocket-launchers and I cut a hole underneath him and he dropped out of the ship. I didn't feel like incinerating him, he was interesting fighter, and I didn't want to waste that. 

Are you all out yet I asked Natasha and she agreed are you sure I received the same confirmation, so I got ready I let the met covering my cloak fade away and the magma instantly started to melt though the floors, and then I tore my way to the center of the ship as I gathered up my power, and then I let it loose as soon as I got to the middle of the ship. It extended outwards from my body as a silver-red pulse of energy came from my body incinerating everything in it's path, and eventually I was floating in the air with a ball of energy all around me. The back and front twelfth of the ship had already been falling to the floor, and I let my power go and I shifted, falling to the water underneath me. I made the tips of my feet thick with enough ice to hold my weight and keep me afloat on the water's surface. 

I looked around on the water's surface to see if anyone broke through to the surface so that I could quickly glide over and bite their heads from their bodies, but I was disappointing as I felt no one alive left in the water, so I shot to the side and after the Avenger's plane. 

Thanks for reading and I'll hopefully have another chapter out soon, also if you got through this LONG chapter to read this...thanks a lot because I needed to make a long one for this chappie. Anyways 4000+ words and an hour or two of writing time=good reading, bye.
