Chapter 12: Emergency Plan Alpha

AN: This one has a solid bit of dialogue so sorry not sorry.

Percy's POV:

I sigh in annoyance as I enter another of the worlds most boring meetings. I honestly do not believe there can be anything more annoying than one of the Olympian Council meetings. I'd rather be out doing what my domains call me to do saving and rescuing children, or spend time with my wives and kids (or even lovers for that matter) than to be here. But noooooooo some grouchy pants lightning brained manwhore king decided that we needed to have a meeting for some reason which he has yet to tell us, and I drew the short stick between my wives and I on who had to go to represent our house.

Though I will admit the only good thing about going is being able to sit on our throne of power, which puts me at a greater ease than any other thing, as it connects me to my wives domains for when I sit on our seat of power. 

"GOOD NOW THAT EVERYONE HAS ARRIVED," Zeus started to thunder, "WE  CAN GET TO THE ISSUE AT HAND."

"Which is?" Dad asked lazily, which I will admit that when we started off, oh some 15 ish years ago now, our relationship was strained, but after he gifted me the island, it started to get better...and yes he also gifted nymphs, naiads, and nereids, which my wives were not very enthusiastic about at first (please don't ask me what got them to change their mind on that either because they have not told me). 

"Well given that the mortals are coming up with new technologies and we have some diminishing power. I have decided that it is time for the our maiden goddesses on the council to wed. Starting with Athena, who tells me she already has a suitable suitor so Artemis you will be getting married too..."

I couldn't hold myself back from interrupting the dumbassery of the King. "Is the only reason you are not choosing Hestia to go first because she's your dear sister, or because I'd kill any suitor who tries as I am still her champion?" I asked, hoping for once that my mother or her brainless twin, for actually once, will have a plan to put a stop to this. 

Zeus though did not look happy at the interruption, "you will do no such thing to any god pursuing Hestia."

"She is milady, if she commands me so, then I shall," I responded, trying to sound nonchalant about defying the king of the gods. Of course if milady ask for me to marry her for her own safety, and assuming my wives don't disapprove, I'd do so immediately just to spare her the pain of whomever Zeus chooses.

"I am the King and I am ordering you to not interfere with any courtship of Hestia," Zeus stated ordering me directly to not interfere. "Now back to matters of Artemis." Zeus began before getting interrupted again.

"Clearly Athena was allowed to choose a suitor of hers, father, at least give Artemis sometime to find a choice of her own," Apollo interrupted, though I could see he was worried that he'd get struck down for the interruption, as for unlike me, who had Artemis, Poseidon, Hades, my wives, children, and a number of veteran demigods to shield me against the wrath of the king, Apollo had no such allegiances and ties.

"It would only be right if you allow her to choose her own husband, if she can't do so in a reasonable time you could still always choose for her." Hera said, with a smile that I could tell that this push for at least Athena and Artemis to wed came from her. I just think she counted on me to protect her sister from the same fate. 

"Fine then," Zeus relented. "Artemis you have a week to find a husband otherwise you'll be marrying Heracles," he ordered. 

That fucking bastard respawned already?!?!?! 

...Welp I have a new assassination target again, just got to resolve mom's and milady's problems first.

"Meeting dismissed," The dumbass I am forced to call king declared and left the throne room. 

I sighed heading to my island palace, hoping that there at least I won't end up 'accidentally' killing another chunk of the world's population in a matter of a day.

"Milord, is there anything I can help you with?" Satine asked me, and I internally sighed again, not wanting to remember that this life style was her choice.

"Can you get the others?" I asked. "I think it is time for a family meeting at large," I added seeing her confused look. 

"Of course milord," Satine said bowing her head. 

After Satine left, I called for my wives, and sent out a mind message to Mom and Zoe to come for a meeting on my island. 

Time Skip: *dutifully laboring away*

"So why are we- all here, milord?" Clarisse asked. 

I really never thought I would need to have a meeting on this topic but since my wives weren't there for the council meeting, one they needed to know, and two I'd feel bad discussing the matter without mom present since it concerns her mostly. "It concerns the last council meeting," I said, only for my mom's face to drop in the 'I didn't tell Zoe yet, son' kind of way.

"What did my father so brainlessly decide to do this time?" Thalia asked. 

"I would ask how you know it's your father, but given that this is the only time we've had a family meeting as a result, I can't find folly in your accusation," Reyna stated, getting a chuckle from Thalia. 

"Does it concern your lady," Zoe asked.

"in a way yes, but there is a more immediate concern I have from this meeting," I stated, noticing Annabeth's mind go into overdrive, mom trying to hide herself in her chair, and the others around the table to look confused. 

"They aren't trying to take us from you, right?" Silena asked, sounding unusually nervous.

"Even if the council were to try that, they couldn't," Annabeth answered. "The laws concerning Harems are as old as the primordials and are some of the oldest laws on the books that even Thalia's father couldn't violate without severe consequence, even if he wanted to. No it would have to be a law of the gods, not one of the truly ancient laws that are coming to be nullified or violated," Annabeth reasoned.

"So if we're safe, why are we here," Clarisse asked blatantly.

"because we value your opinions and advice, Clarisse," I replied, "especially since this matter concerns one of the immediate family."

"I swear my father is asking for you to assassinate him," Thalia stated, probably guessing the matter now. 

"It's truly a wonder of mine how you resisted that temptation, husband," Annabeth added.

"It's a matter of proper timing," I replied nonchalantly. 

"So why..." Zoe began before realization hit her. "Milady please tell me this is an elaborate prank by my brother."

"It is not, my dear," Mom answered, morosely. "Father intends to have me wed, to someone two of you in this room have already once killed, and likely wish to kill again given the opportunity."

"You're kidding me," Annabeth said.

"Who?" Reyna asked, " I know the list isn't long, but still."

"No dick," Annabeth said. 

"That fucker is back," Zoe exclaimed.

"My internal reaction exactly, sis," I said. "But we still have other matters to tend to before we go on another unsanctioned murder spree."

"How long do we have before..." Silena started to ask.

"A week," Mom answered. "I have a week to find someone, but I know I won't, and there's only one who I would ask anyway, but I don't know what he would say." I had no clue who mom would ask, nor why would they decline. 

"Milady, do you mean to enact plan alpha?" I barely heard Zoe whisper to mom, which indicated to me that I probably wasn't meant to hear it, and either way I don't even know what plan alpha is. 

"Son, would you mind if the girls stay here till we figure this out," Mom asked me. 

I shook my head as I wouldn't mind my sisters staying here. At least they would be safe here until this all blew over. 

"Zoe bring them here please," Mom ordered, causing Zoe to leave to collect my sisters. 

"So what's that plan alpha Zoe talked to you about," Katie asked bluntly. I guess I should mention Katie joined a couple years ago after Travis passed, which brought me to question why so many formerly under my military command during the wars were wanting to join me, or if their parents were actually trying to match them with a god they didn't want to be with after the loss of one they actually loved. 

"None of you were suppose to hear that," Mom sighed out.

 "Zoe wasn't as quiet as she thought she was, grandma," Satine replied. "Being part of dad's little..." her mouth was covered by Silena quickly. 

"You have a dirty mouth than Thalia, and we don't need to scare away our lords raiser," she scolded. "Anyway we get better hearing and eyesight as a result of joining your son, lady Artemis. We think it comes from his domain of Assassins."

Mom sighed. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Because I have a worse mouth than a sailor, and that's coming from Arion," Thalia replied proudly of herself. 

"He's not wrong but at least you've gotten better," Annabeth mumbled. 

"Well I'm still..." Thalia got her mouth covered.

"Back to plan alpha," Clarisse said hopefully trying to avoid Thalia's vulgarity which Satine had picked up.

"It was one of the first plans I had after adopting my son," Mom replied. "Before he was ever discovered by the others, except his own lady, and something my hunt at the time agreed to. Of course that plan had to be shelved after he was discovered and fell in love with other girls, but I still kept it in mind as an emergency contingency after his domains were read."

"Mom, what is the plan?" I asked, getting a little tired of her skirting around it. 

"She wants to fuck you, husband," Thalia said escaping her mouth prison just long enough before Annabeth covered her mouth again.

"THALIA," Annabeth and Mom shouted, though mom's face was practically golden, from some sort of emotion.

"Mom?" I asked confused.

"Thalia was being crass. But yes I originally planned on marrying you eventually to protect myself and your sisters from something like this. But now I am not so sure if I'd be able to with the council's eyes on forcing me to wed." Mom explained. 

"Why would they mind? You'd be in compliance with the Council's forced wedding regardless of whom it is too," Reyna said. 

"Even amongst the gods who regularly engage in incest there is something still taboo about mother and son," Mom explained. "I won't force any of you to do this, but I ask that you at least let my hunt stay here and join their brother if you decline me. They don't deserve to be forced to anyone and they at least trust their brother unlike other males."

"hmmm almost sounds like a motion put before the family..." Annabeth pondered. "Percy leave, we will make this decision for you," she added.

I sighed, not really trusting my wives or the girls in there with them to make this decision. Heck I don't even trust myself with that decision. I don't even know what I would decide. Yes I want to protect my mom, but at the cost of wedding her...I don't know if I could do that.

Annabeth's POV:

"So now that Percy is out of here. What shall we do about this plan Alpha our gracious mother-in-law has so keenly kept from us?" I asked, primarily to my sister-wives, as Percy wouldn't decide to do anything if we are undecided...well unless Hestia ordered him to take action one way or another then he might, albeit with some reluctance. 

"I wouldn't mind having another to satiate my needs," Thalia said, trying to sound uncaring, but to those that knew her could tell she did care about her sister and our shared mother-in-law.

"Like that would change anything, your insatiable as it stands even with us at your beckon call, our lady," Clarisse blurted out.

Thalia shrugged to Clarisse's proclamation about her. "Thalia's bottomless pit of being horny aside," Reyna began with only brief protest of indignation from Thalia. "What becomes of the hunt? Of Zoe? Percy is their brother, and to many of them, the one who brought them to the hunt."

"The laws concerning immortal marriages and Harems are clear on the matter, unfortunately," I answered. I swear it's like Chaos knew this would happen some million or so years in the future and thought it would be funny to watch us debate this question of morality. "What belongs to our mother-in-law, the hunt including her lieutenant, will also come to belong to whomever her husband is. Which given our husband's status would mean they'd be as obligated as those here who have pledged and joined of their own will."

"But they all stopped aging young which I know for a fact our lord will not like said obligations," Silena spoke, somberly. 

"I agree that my son would have a problem with that, and even if I gifted him the hunt before I'm forced to wed, I fear they would have the same obligations, and I do not know if he or you all would be able to find a work around to that," Artemis told us. "I'm not even sure if I can permit them to age any further given their oaths."

"Sadly that is a problem for future us," I said to the group around the table. "The immediate concern is still whom our mother in law is to wed. Which unfortunate or fortunate to us, depending on your views, the only one she is willing to is her own son and our husband and lord."

"Fortunate," Thalia said, "maybe someone here will finally understand my true struggle with being horny all the time."

"Perhaps only in your dreams, Thalia," Artemis responded. 

"Dam it," Thalia said only to chuckle a little to herself after she finished. 

 "There's only negative consequences to having our mother-in-law find someone else, or forced to be wedded to someone of her father's choosing," Reyna said. "We all know our sons wouldn't as they always become 2 year old's in their grandmother's presence to try and get her attention."

"They're adorable like that," Artemis muttered quietly to herself. 

"regardless the hunt will be joining us?" Thalia asked.

"Yes," Artemis answered. "Their brother will protect them, even if they are obligated under the ancient laws. He'd delay it for them as long as he can."

"I wouldn't mind another sister to have rational conversations with," Reyna said, again to protest from Thalia. 

"Thalia have the conversations you have with us is complaining about being horny," I muttered rubbing my temples. 

"Blame the old man, I got the horny genetics from him, and our husband has..."Thalia was saying before I covered her mouth again.

"My son is certainly...gifted down there," Artemis said, much to our shock. "What? I've changed his diapers or are you forgetting I also raised him since effectively birth." 

I looked around the table, looking at my sister wives to see we're in agreement about our next course of action. "Girls what do you think, having another lady to tend to?"

"She has her own hunters to tend to her," Clarisse said. "Doubt she would be coming to us as often as Thalia does."

"I'm still one of your lady's, Clarisse," Thalia stated.

"What are you gonna do bout it? Spar me or order me to satiate you in front of everyone?" Clarisse taunted.

"Both actually," Thalia declared, only for Clarisse to pale.

"Your satiation can wait Thalia," I said, sparring Clarisse at least sometime before she has to work on Thalia. 

*Knock knock knock*

"Come in," Reyna said, only for Kleodora to enter. 

"Maladies', milord's mom. Would you all like food brought here for meal? Or will you be joining milord in the dinning room?" she asked.

"We will join him shortly, Kleodora. Tell him we may have reached a decision," Reyna stated, to our head naiad dismissing her to carry out the message. 

"How would milord afford to keep us fed?" Silena asked, after Kleodora left.

"I'd at least have to expand the garden for fresh produce," Katie added. 

"Food shouldn't be a problem," I told them. "Just be prepared to add some wild game into your diets as I doubt the hunt would go too long without it."

Silena and Katie shrugged, accepting it. Thankfully Piper isn't here because I have no clue how we'd be able to go about vegetarian meals with a massive expansion of population on our island like this.

"The training grounds won't be able to accommodate all of either," Clarisse stated. 

"Tyson can probably renovate them for us," I said. "Just a matter of getting him here to do so in the first place...and having enough peanut butter as payment."

"I'll get to work on the peanut butter, tomorrow" Katie said.

"So anymore concerns or can the matter of the hunt becoming residents here be closed?" Reyna asked. 

"Just make sure they don't make all the wild game on this island go extinct," Artemis said. "They'll probably take a hunt as a means to feed everyone for a few days, and they don't know how much everyone here eats and will likely over do it to compensate."

"Then it's settled. The hunt will be based here under Percy's command, and Artemis will have the final decision on marrying her own son or not," I said. 

"You three haven't..."

"We agree to back your decision either way. Just if you marry him, we'd recommend you stay here until the political turmoil on Olympus blows over," Reyna responded. 

Time Skip: *Has numerous tally marks on the wall tallying up to represent some 15 years in days* Only a few more months and my sentence is done...I hope the kid hasn't grown up too much.  Oh...you all are here. Don't break me out, I got a 6 month reduction for good behavior. Oh btw it will only be a few hours before you all start back up with the story. 

Percy's POV:

"I think I understand why Thalia is a sex addict now," Artemis said to me, laying on top of my chest. 

"Please don't. This was hard enough on me mentally already. I don't need you to be like Thalia," I pleaded with the woman who raised me and am now married to as well. 

"I said I think I understand not that I would be joining her in her debauchery," she, and thank Chaos, responded.

"YAY my sister is now my sister-wife," Thalia exclaimed diving into the bed.

"Can I not get a night alone with him as a wedding present?"

"Artemis you have three other wives to contend with for that and we all share the same marital bed. That's a bit much to ask of us. Just be happy we gave you the room and kept the others away for your first time," Annabeth answered her. 

Artemis groaned and buried her face into my chest. "Please tell me you are at least staying the night?" 

"I have duties to tend to. You know that," I replied softly. 

"Five minutes," she pleaded, sounding muffled speaking into my chest. 

I internally sighed, as I was being bare hugged.

"Sleeping on breast is much better than his chest," Thalia whispered into Artemis's ear, who mumbled something I couldn't decipher in return.

"Don't worry, Diana. You'll still have us to accompany you for tonight. Unlike our husband we take care of our duties early...except for Thalia who just sporadically takes care of them," Reyna said getting in on the other side of the bed.

"Fine," Artemis groaned. "But you better be back quickly, or you're grounded, mister."

I teleported out from other her, and Thalia quickly took my place. "She can't do that right?" I whispered asked Annabeth.

"She's still the woman who raised you...I wouldn't test it," She replied in an equally silent whisper. 

I groaned internally, You better not get us grounded.

What are you going to do about it Perseus? Smite me? You can't. 

Perseus started grumbling about the lack of ability to do literally anything against me.

"I'll be back shortly...hopefully," I said and teleported off to Olympus where milady summoned me. 

Sadly she summoned me to the throne room and I noticed that mom's throne was no longer there, and my house's throne looked different as well. Well shit that's going to be hard to explain away...hopefully no one arrives until the next council meeting in about a week. 

"I see you notice the change too, my champion," Malady spoke from her hearth. "I don't think the other's will notice your changes but they will see the missing throne. I hope you all thought this through."

"I was ordered to," I said sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck. 

"Hmmm" Malady thought. 

"Do you have a mission for me then?" I asked.

"Yes, a couple of demigods in the western slopes of Colorado," she said. "They're Greek," She added sending me off. 

Line Break: So do you all  know if Time Skip is going to leave soon. He's ratted out like 20 of my plans to escape. I got an additional 20 years because of him.

I returned to Malady after helping the demigods get to CHB. Thankfully they weren't in abusive home, but their were numerous monsters working towards surrounding them. "You're back quickly," She noted. 

"Didn't have to let loose on any mortals this time," I replied. 

"Good. I expected as such this time," she said. 

"am I..."

"One last thing before you go, my champion," She said to me, causing me to internally panic as I don't want to see if mom can still ground me. 

"What is it that you require of me?" I asked, bowing slightly.

"Take me, dear champion. Avoid the potential for war and take me yourself," she ordered. 

"What do you mean ma..."

"Take me to your island. Make me your wife or a whore of your house, I do not care for which. But you will take me to avoid you starting a war by murdering unworthy suitors. Am I understood, champion?" She stated, with one of those glares that made me feel small and unable to deny her request.

"I understand malady," I mumbled quietly, offering her my arm to head to what is becoming more likely than not my primary residence soon. 

Bonus: She took it out of my truck, Drove off like Joe Nemacheck. She thought thaaa......OH hello there frens. Time Skip is going to be out of his prison sentence soon. Thanks for your musics too. But now I'm on to things I've developed a taste for. 

"I'm worried," I admitted quietly to my lover in her home she shares with her siblings. I just hope her mother doesn't find out about us because she'd kill me for breaking that oath after Crysothemis. 

"About what? This," She said gesturing to her own growing stomach. "I already told you she won't find out about us from anyone here so I hope you don't screw that up."

"No," I admitted a little flatly. "I'm sure I'd be able to handle that...I mean after all I did ask the king of demigods first before perusing you, so he should support me at the least. But no it's from the council meeting earlier today."

"You asked Lord Percy for permission to court me but not my own mother? What would thine mother say?" She asked me jokingly. I could tell she was trying to take my mind off what has occurred today in the council, but what little brain function that I had remaining for today was too distracted to pick up on her distraction.

"Probably that she's disappointed or laughing her ass off. It's sometimes hard to tell with her," I admitted quickly. "But father has ordered Arty to wed and she only has a week before she'd be forced to marry no dick."

"The supposed greatest hero of all time while meanwhile your nephew and some of his lovers surpass him by every metric?" She questioned.

"Yeah him," I muttered trying to contain the want to go murder him, because I bet he had something to do with this, well at least with my sister's portion being forced to marry him if she can't find anyone. 

"I'm sure she can find someone better than that at least," She said. "I mean she could always ask you right?"

"We're twins not siblings," I reminded her. "Plus you already know how I am despite me offering you everything I can. She wouldn't like that from me and there are no gods that would meet her standards."

"hmm," she hummed. "Sounds like a real conundrum you and her are in." She finished turning and snuggling into my chest. 

"Yes," I admitted. "All because of my stupid father," I added in a mutterance before hearing her start to snore softly, which only started since she started carrying our first child. 

I sighed quietly, before kissing the top of her head. "Sleep well, Meg" I whispered, praying that her mother isn't paying attention to her adult daughter. I know she pays attention to her younger kids, but I don't know about the adult ones...Except for Katie. By Chaos did she try raising hell after Travis died and Katie decided on nephew before meeting any of the suitors her mother had lined up.

"You're lucky she ordered me to be quiet, otherwise her mother would know," Luguselwa stated, before closing the door to Meg's room. 

I sighed. I really should thank and offer Meg anything I can give again for ordering her to be quiet about our relationship. Demeter probably would have killed me or some of my children by now if she hadn't.
