Artemis' Point of view

I eventually found where Erebus and his forces were gathered, once I got there, I soon realised that like we already suspected Nyx was helping him. Since I was good at hiding myself I managed to get rather close and I overheard a conversation between Nyx, Erebus, and someone else who I couldn't recognize since he had his back to me. Despite that, I was still able to sense what he was and that was enough to tell me that he was probably a spy. As I was listening to their conversation I became even more certain of that fact since Erebus asked him questions about Camp Half-Blood, and how prepared they were for the war.

I clearly heard him reply that while the camp was trying to prepare they still knew basically nothing about his plans. I knew that this information would probably make Erebus think that they would be easy to beat if they struck now and caught them by surprise. I eavesdropped on a little more of their conversation before I knew I needed to return to Olympus to inform the others of what I had learned.

I didn't hear exactly when Erebus planned on attacking, but I guessed it would probably be soon. Not long after that, I left to head back to Olympus since I would need to warn the others of what I'd heard. I knew that I still hadn't heard much about Erebus' plans, but I also didn't want to risk eavesdropping for too long for fear that one of the primordials might notice me.

I did have ways to hide myself but I couldn't keep those up forever, so it was best for me to leave and tell everyone what I'd learned. I began walking away from the scene and once I was far enough away I returned to Olympus to inform the rest of the council of what I'd overheard. I called a meeting, and once that had ended I went to Camp Half-Blood to tell my hunters what I'd found out.

When I got to camp Half-Blood, I found out that the werewolf Perseus had sent had also returned but he hadn't found out much more than I had. While I was there I saw Perseus, and I couldn't help but remember how the last few times I'd seen him I felt something that I'd never felt before. I felt that way once again as I spotted him walking away from the sword arena.

I've respected him ever since he helped Zoe and came on the quest to rescue me. As far as I knew that's all it was though. Maybe now I was starting to consider him a friend. I decided that it was best not to dwell on it since I had more important things to worry about, like what I'd overheard our enemies saying. I told Chiron that the campers needed to have a head counselor's meeting, and I told Chiron what I'd learned as well as some rather shocking news I'd learned while I was on Olympus. Before I left I also told my hunters what I'd learned.

Percy's point of view

I wasn't really surprised when Chiron called a council meeting. Unfortunately, though he'd sent Connor Stoll to tell me about it and since Calla and I were spending some time together when he came to find me he found out about my new relationship. Honestly, it didn't bother me that much, even though I knew he would probably make sure the whole camp and probably the gods found out about it.

I guess the fact that I was a werewolf probably had something to do with it, but I also knew that I would rather not have half the camp pestering me about it. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, Annabeth had moved on so why shouldn't I?

I'd guessed we'd be having a meeting since I knew that both Artemis and the wolf I'd sent had returned even if they hadn't found out much about Erebus' plans, so I assumed that the meeting was to discuss what they'd learned. Once the meeting began what Chiron said didn't really surprise me until he revealed that Artemis had learned there was a spy at camp. This caused a lot of campers to speak up wondering who it could be. Chiron got them to quiet down before continuing to tell us what he'd been told.

His next statement left me surprised since he said, "Artemis was certain that the spy is a werewolf,"

Of course, once he said that everyone looked at me. I'm sure they weren't accusing me but since I'm the leader of the werewolves I would have to try and figure out who it was. As much as I wanted to, I didn't doubt that Artemis was right that it was a werewolf. I knew that since she's a goddess she'd probably be able to sense it even if the werewolf was in its human form and disguised to hide their face. We were also told that it was one of the male werewolves. That information narrowed it down a bit more, but not by much since there were quite a few male werewolves.

The fact that the spy was a werewolf kind of bothered me since they all seemed completely loyal to me, I'd had no clue that one of them betrayed us. The only thing I could really do was wait and pay more attention to the other male werewolves. I wasn't going to just interrogate them all, there were too many of them. That wasn't the most shocking news we'd received though, that was definitely the last piece of information that Chiron told us. He said when Artemis returned to Olympus she'd learned that Apollo had been captured. The gods also had no idea where he was being kept either.

We discussed where they might be keeping him, but we couldn't figure it out either. The best we could come up with were a few guesses, hopefully, we would be able to find out more about where he was. What he didn't know yet was that the next step in Erebus and Nyx's plans would be happening soon and it wasn't something we were expecting.

As we discussed the new information we'd received my mind wandered to when I'd seen Artemis shortly before the meeting. I'd been walking away from the sword arena after teaching a class, and although we hadn't spoken we'd briefly looked at each other for a few moments before Artemis tore her gaze away and started walking away.

Even before she left that brief look was long enough for me to realize that regardless of how unbelievable they seemed my suspicions about who my second mate was supposed to be were right. Despite that, I found it hard to believe that she could possibly have feelings for me, after all, she is a goddess, not a werewolf, so I wasn't sure if the mate bond would affect her in the same way that it affects werewolves.

One thing I did know was that I wasn't going to mention it to her, definitely not right now at least since I would prefer to remain alive rather than getting killed for even mentioning the possibility of a romantic relationship between us. I was pretty sure it would be safer for me to let her make the first move. I certainly wasn't in a rush to make her accept me.

Although I honestly thought she was beautiful she would have to acknowledge that romantic love isn't such a bad thing. Not only that but even if she did eventually fall for me I doubted she would want to be with me when she wouldn't be the only woman I'm with. But then again considering her domains she most likely realizes that it's usually the same for normal alpha wolves. So maybe she'll be able to accept that even if it's not right away. Even without all of that, there's still her oath. If we do end up together what would the consequences be?

I couldn't really answer any of those questions, so I shoved those thoughts aside, after all, we had bigger problems than my rather complicated love life. Those were the missing sun god and the fact we had a spy in camp. We would probably end up sending a quest to find Apollo since he obviously couldn't escape himself, after all if he could he probably would have already.

Before anyone could go find him though we needed to know where he was and honestly, we really only had guesses about that. He might be at the primordials' base where Artemis had heard them talking to the spy, but she hadn't sensed his presence there and if he had been there she should have been able to. His might have been blocked by those of the two primordials, but we didn't know for sure, so we still had no clue where he was.

After the meeting, we tried to go back to our classes and war preparations, but it was difficult knowing that we had a spy among us and that one of the Olympians was missing. We also wondered what the primordials' next move would be. Would they attack here at camp? or maybe even Camp Jupiter, we had no idea so that left us worried.

Obviously, we continued to try and figure out where Apollo might be, but we weren't really making any progress. Hopefully, the gods would find out, or maybe we'd find out some other way. whatever the case I knew he needed to be found and even Chiron hadn't come up with any great ideas.

Even when I was supposed to be doing something more important I would occasionally find my mind wandering to Artemis. It was hard to believe that she was my second mate but despite that, I was sure that my instincts were right, and she was. I was in no hurry to get her to accept me, after all, I already had Calla, and if it wasn't for the fact that relationships are a bit different for alpha wolves I would be perfectly happy to just have her.

I usually tried not to think about that for too long though since we had more important things to worry about. That day continued, and I couldn't help but wonder how we were possibly going to win this war, for one Apollo is missing, and Nyx and Erebus have gathered a lot of monsters as well as a few traitor demigods. I had two dreams that night even though I don't usually have that many anymore.

The first dream revealed some more of Erebus and Nyx's plans but not much, the second one was a memory of my time in Tartarus when Annabeth and I were trying to avoid being killed by Nyx. During the second dream, I must have shifted around in my sleep since I woke up suddenly and Calla asked what was wrong.

I think she'd guessed I was dreaming but she was wondering what I'd seen. I realized I'd probably woken her since when we'd gone to sleep she'd been lying right beside me. Unlike normal wolves we aren't completely nocturnal, we basically just rest when we feel we need it, and due to our human side, we usually choose to sleep at night.

Since Calla and I had gotten rather close I was comfortable with telling her what I'd seen in both my dreams. She was concerned when I told her what had happened in the first one, and she was sympathetic when I told her about the second one. I was sure I could trust her since she was my mate and we'd gotten to know each other rather well. It was kind of nice to tell someone what had happened in Tartarus since keeping that to myself wasn't easy and it was kind of a relief to finally get it off my chest even if I just told her one bad experience out of many.

I knew I wasn't going to bother telling anyone else about my first dream until morning since we couldn't do anything about it until then anyway, and I didn't think there was much we could do other than figure out where Apollo was since we still didn't know much of what was going to happen. What I didn't know was that I wasn't the only one dreaming that night, and in the morning we would all be in for a shock.

A/N I hope that most of you ship solangelo because they will probably appear more in future chapters. there probably won't be many romantic scenes though.
