Pylea

That night, Macy was startled awake by the sound of the front door slamming open and loud cursing. Recognizing the livid tones of Paul, Macy threw the covers off of her and leaped off the couch to the front door, where she found Paul practically spitting in his anger.

"What happened, did someone get hurt?"Macy asked, her tone flooded with concern, instantly calming him somewhat as he swept her into his arms, burrying his nose in her hair, taking her scent.

"Victoria was there, she kept bouncing between sides of the treaty line. One of the Cullens got overzealous and nearly crossed the border. Paul stopped him but the redhead got away as a result. The empath, Jasper, had to calm Paul down long enough for him to hear me telling him to leave. I'll have Jacob go up to the school on Monday to issue a reminder to Edward for his coven to saty on their side of the treaty line."Sam explained, making Macy nod in understanding.

Pulling back from Paul slightly, Macy looked him in the eye, seeing remaining anger.

"Let's go."Macy said, pulling him out the door.

"What?"Paul asked, though gave no resistance.

"You need to calm down. Grab my hand. We're going to Pylea. I think it's about time I took you to meet my mother's godly younger child. Aegon. He's an elf."Macy said as Paul grabbed her hand and Macy mist travelled them to Pylea, the beautiful city bustling despite the late hour.

"What was that?"Paul gasped out, not quite noticing where they were now.

"Mist travel. I've been practicing while you've been on patrol during the days that I'm at the rez. It's one of the powers every child of Hecate inherited from her. Anyway, I'd like to show you around Pylea."Macy said casually, making his jaw drop as he finally registered the beautiful city that was Hecate's kingdom.

"Are we really in the lost city of Pylea?"He asked in an awed tone as he took it in, making Macy giggle.

"Yes, it's my mother's kingdom, so naturally it's kept hidden. I should probably take you to visit my mother first though before I take you to meet Aegon. Mom would be pissed if she found out I came for a visit and didn't see her."Macy said as they walked together. 

Then, halfway through the square, Macy noticed people kneeling and drew up short at the sight of the Pylean royal family, pulling Paul to a stop as well.

"Why's we stop?"Paul asked, not yet noticing, making Macy gesture to the family in front of them. 

Catching sight of them, he quickly knelt and he greeted lowly, having been filled in on the proper etiquette on greeting gods "Lady Hecate, Lord Axel."

"Now, Macy dear, did you not inform your soulmate about me? The amazing god that I am. I am hurt! I thought you like me!"Apollo said, a teasing smile on his face making Macy laugh and Macy pulled Paul into a standing position.

"Oh, I've told him about you, I just don't think I've described you to him. Allow me to make the proper introductions to make up for it."Macy said, earning a jokingly haughty nod of approval from her step father.

"Paul, you know my mom and brother, but allow me to introduce my step father, Apollo, god of the sun, light, healing, disease, plague, music, art, poetry, archery, reason, knowledge, truth, and prophecy and King of Pylea. Apollo, this is my soulmate, the wolf shifter, Paul Lahote."Macy introduced, making Paul choke at not addressing him as well.

"A pleasure to meet you, Paul. But I assure you now, wolf, if you hurt my stepdaughter, the full wrath of suns and magic will be after you and you will be smite!"Apollo said, nonchalantly threatening him, making his eyes widen.

"I would never, Lord Apollo. The imprint alone makes it to where I couldn't hurt her without feeling pain myself, but I would never want to even without it."He said sincerely, earning a smile from not just her but everyone within hearing range.

"Good, now, what bring you to Pylea at this time of the night, Macy?"Hecate asked, smiling warmly at her, offering a simple nod in greeting to Paul, who was slowly gaining her approval by his efforts of keeping the humans safe.

"Problems on the surface that had Paul pretty pissed off. I thought he needed to cool down, so I brought him down here to meet Aegon. I thought he could spar with him or even with Axel to get rid of the ramining anger."Macy said, making Axel snort in amusement.

"Let's take this into the palace and I'll send for Aegon. He wants to keep the designs of the hunting knives he's making you a secret, so I think he would like to keep out of the forge, Macy."Hecate said, leading the way back to the palace.

Twenty minutes later, Macy was wondering if this was good idea or not, since she was now unsure if she could convince Paul to leave. He had passed Aegon's test by simply by telling the ten year old elf that he loved her and would protect her without flinching at the pointy ears. Now, the two were in the middle of a spar that Macy could see Axel itching to join as Aegon and Paul both had impressive strength.

"Just go."Macy finally sighed, getting annoyed with the twitches of her older brother.

He didn't even spare a glance before taking off to join the spar, seamlessly integrating himself into the fight. Macy rolled her eyes as she heard a pair of amused chuckles behind her.

"Look at it this way, at least Paul has the family approval."Apollo said, putting a hand on Macy's shoulder, drawing a snort of amusement from her that earned a slight swat on the back of her head by Hecate.

Hecate said "Princesses don't snort, Macy."

Apollo just laughed.

Macy turned to Apollo and said "He hasn't gained mom's complete approval yet, so you can't say that."

"I wouldn't be too sure of that, darling. I actually quite like him and am in the process of convincing my stubborn father to grant him with the immortality we have to make sure you don't lose him. Fortunally, Aphrodite is firmly on my side of the argument there and so are a few others. Aphrodite is also trying to make Embry and Leah being granted immortality too. It's looking like Paul, Embry and Leah might be granted immortality by your graduation."Hecate said, making Macy's jaw drop.

"The council is really willing to do that for me, Jason and Piper?"Macy asked, unable to believe it.

Over half of the council didn't like ehr for some reason or another, so the fact they were willing to make Paul immortal, truly immortal for her was difficult to believe. Hecate just nodded with an indulgent chuckle, gently pulling her in for a hug.

"If he and Embry and Paul accept, I think it will be a graduation gift for most of the council. I believe Hestia will be getting you something though, I could be wrong, but since you're her favorite demigod, she likely will."Hecate said, making Macy smile.

Macy truly loved Hestia, she was the most important goddess since she was the embodiment of home and the eharth. Before Macy could respond, she let loose a jaw-cracking yawn, drawing chuckles from both of them.

"Perhaps we should send word to Mr. Uley that you and Paul will be spending the night down here to get some rest, hm?"Apollo suggested, making Macy nod as exahustion slammed back to the front of Macy's mind, reminding her that she hadn't had much sleep tonight before the pack came back.

"Axel!"Hecate called, making Axel immediately withdraw from the spar and return to her side.

"Yes, mother?"He asked, standing at attention since Hecate used her 'queen of magic' voice.

"I need you to take a message to the La Push pack that Paul and your sister will be spending the night down here. Macy is exhausted and I don't want her to try mist travelling with a passenger when she's this tired. I will escort them to their rooms for the night while you do that."Hecate said, making Axel look at his sister in concern, his face softening when he saw the exahustion Macy knew was now evident on her face.

"Of course, mother. I shall return shortly."He said, before disappearing as he mist travelled away.

"Come on, sweetheart. I'll return for your wolf, but you're practically asleep on your feet, let's get you to bed."Hecate said, though her voice sounded far away to Macy.

She heard her chuckle indulgently before she was picked up and everything went dark as she finally gave into Hypnos call.

A small smile graced Paul's face as he ducked another impressive punch from Aegon. The stories about the wolf being what the imprint needed weren't quite correct apparently, since Macy was turned out to be just what he needed as well. This spar was the perfect way to let go of any lingering anger from the Cullen vamp trying to cross the border. The awe of the fact that he was sparring with imprint's elf half brother in freaking Pylea was still very much present, but over time he had just come to accept any craziness that came with his precious Macy being a demigod. He knew more about Greek mythology now than he ever had before at least, and the rest of the pack could probably be experts on the subject in a few more months with everything they kept learning.

"Brother Axel said that you turn into a big dog."Aegon said, suddenly in the middle of their spar.

"Yeah, I turn into a wolf. I'm not sure if I can do it here, but maybe when you come for Macy's graduation, I can show you."Paul said, surprising by how easy it was to talk to him, despite him being a child. 

They had pretty much stopped sparring by this point, conversation drawing his interest more than sparring, though Paul didn't mind. He had pretty much blown off all the steam he needed to. Aegon looked pretty excited at the prospect of seeing Paul turn into a wolf and nodded excitedly.

"I can't wait to see sister's wolf. She'll like her rpesents too; my brothers are working on the other ones."He said, gaining Paul's curiosity.

"I thought the daggers you were making her were her graduation gifts."Paul said.

"They are but mommy is having my brothers make a crown too. She says as a princess of magic, she should have her own crown."Aegon told him.

"Be sure you don't tell my daughter that information, Paul."The strong voice of the goddess of magic said from behind him, startling him.

Paul whirled to face her as quickly as he could and quickly shook his head.

"I would never, Lady Hecate, if it's a graduation gift, I won't spoil the surprise."Paul informed her, casting his eyes to her sides, searching for his imprint, something she apparently caught.

"Macy is asleep in her room, she's exhausted. I sent Axel to tell your pack leader that the two of you would be spending the night down here since she's too tired to mist travel thhe two of you back to La Push. I'll take you to your room for the night."Hecate said, surprising him for a moment before guilt set in.

He had woken Macy when they arrived back at Sam's by slamming the door open and she had immediately brought him here to help him, despite being tired herself.

"Thank you, Lady Hecate. I should have thought of that myself."Paul said, murmuring the last part, quietly berating herself for it. He was supposed to take care of his imprint, and here she was, ignoring herself to take care of him.

"It's alright, it even surprised her with how suddenly it and you were engrossed in sparring with my sons, you couldn't have known."She said, leading the way out of the courtyard where Aegon and him had been sparring and down some halls inside the palace.

"And you can drop the 'Lady' title. You're Macy's soulmate, so I know you will eventually become my son in law. Despite the fact that most of the couples Aphrodite has put together have ended in tragedy, I know that won't happen with the two of you or for Jason and Leah or Embry and Piper. Everyone knows that my daughter don't like her immortality getting forced on her and a few are trying to find ways to make it up to her. You are Aphrodite's apology, so she won't dare do anything to potentially hinder her happiness."Hecate said, shocking Paul.

"You approve of our relationship, then Ma'am?"Paul asked, trying to remain respectful since she was not only Macy's mom but a goddess, whose domain he was in.

Hecate chuckled, looking over her shoulder at Paul with a knowing smirk.

"Hecate will do, Paul. Unless you would prefer I call you Mr Lahote."He said, making Paul pull a face. Only teachers ever called him by his last name and he hated it when they used it.

"Paul's fine."Paul murmured and he didn't have to see her face to know she was smirking in victory. Macy was a lot like ehr mother from what he had been told and Macy would definitely be smirking in victory right now.

"Good. As for my approval of your relationship, I was worried at first, I will admit. You may not age as long as you continue to shift, but you are still capable of falling in battle. That's why I talked to my father Zeus in case you were wondering, about giving you immortality and Aphrodite is trying to do the same for Embry and Leah, the same that Macy, Piper and Jason have. It's slow going but most of the council is starting to take our side on that, though Ares will likely vote against it, simply because Macy is his rival and Dionysus just doesn't care. With any luck, you'll be granted proper immortality by her graduation, that is, if you accept it. I've told Macy this, but we both know she won't push you to accept it."Hecate said, making Paul jaw drop. 

A chance to be with Macy forever without worrying about dying  in battle and leaving her alone? He'd be stupid to turn it down.

"I would accept it with no hesitation should it be offered. I'd be thrilled for the chance to be with Macy forever."Paul told her, as she came to a stop in front of a pair of double doors.

She turned and smiled at him in acceptance.

"Good. You have my permission to make my daughter happy then. Axel and Aegon also approve you, as does Apollo. Goodnight, Paul."She said before leaving.

Paul stared after her, confused by what she meant before shrugging and opening the doors of the room, only to pause at the sight of Macy laying asleep on a king sized bed. That's when Hecate's words truly registered. He had her blessing to propose.


A/N So I hope you'll like this chapter. Aegon is like the elf version of Tyson. She had him with a nature spirit and he was born an elf. I hope you'll like Pylea. Pylea is like kinda Asgard in mythology and marvel.
