Third Person POV
Both Percy and Annabeth jumped over logs and ducked under branches. They haven't stopped since they said bye to Nico. Percy had the urge to fall to the ground and cry for water, but he couldn't. If Annabeth can be strong, so can he.
Percy couldn't do it anymore. He fell down under a tree craving for water. He looked up to find Annabeth standing over him with a water bottle in hand. He raised an eyebrow in question. How did Annabeth get that? She didn't have anything in her hands before. He looked around the woods smelling in the scent and remembering the sight. Annabeth and he had run all the way back to their boundary.
Percy chugged down the water in 3 full gulps. He crushed the bottle in his hand and threw it far. "Thanks." He stood up dusting off his clothing. Pain crushed him. He felt like he just lifted heavy weights rather than run a few miles. He stretched himself a bit before looking at his Luna. Her blonde hair messed up; her clothing ripped and bruises covering most of her skin, but that did not matter to Percy. He loved her no matter what. He pushed a lose strand behind her ear. "You're beautiful."
To his surprise Annabeth laughed. "There's no point of lying, Percy." She said wrapping her arms around him and resting her head on his chest. "But I appreciate it. I really need it… It's just… too much for me to take. I understand that we're werewolves and we have to get used to everything or we won't be able to survive... but I really don't like these rules."
Percy sighed patting his mate's head. "Me neither, but what can we do? Everyone has an animal in them. No matter how hard we try not to let it out… it won't listen. It has its own rules like we have ours. After all of this mess, I'll bring us to a place far away from the pack for a little rest and no one will disturb us. I swear on God. No. I swear on us." He looked down at his Moon Goddess who had tears. He used his tears to catch all of them. "I don't want my Luna's tears hitting the ground ever." He kissed her forehead rubbing her back.
"I love you Percy. I seriously do." Annabeth smiled.
"I love you too." Percy said into her hair.
Percy straightened when he heard footsteps coming from the far distance. "Annabeth, there's someone coming." He let go of Annabeth who got into an attack position. "Climb the tree."
"Percy-"
"Do what I say." Percy snapped at her, but soon regretted it. He couldn't hand the hurt look on Annabeth's face. "I'm sorry Annabeth, but I just want you to be safe." Annabeth nodded and climbed the tree fast as she could. The footsteps sounded closer this time. Percy got into the attack position Annabeth was in before. He set his eyes forward and was ready to leap the moment two boys his age came out.
"Wait!" one of the boys said. He was tall and skinny with a mop of curly brown hair that hangs in his eyes and he was taller than the other boy who looked exactly like him except he was taller than him by a couple of inches. Percy got up from his position.
"Travis and Conner Stoll, what are you both doing here?" Percy's voice sounded serious. Behind him Annabeth jumped down from the tree and landed perfectly on her feet.
"We're here to join you. The rest of the pack is coming as well. We're not going to just sit and watch while both of you fight." Conner said stepping forward. Travis nodded agreeing to his brother.
"He's right. We want to join you Alpha. Your father agrees as well." Travis said gesturing behind him. The whole pack walked out of the shadow and circled around Percy and Annabeth. Poseidon walked over to his son giving him an awkward hug.
"How are you both?" Percy's father shook his head. "What type of question am I asking? You both properly feel tired out, angry, hurt and all sorts of things except feeling happy."
"It doesn't matter father. I don't really care about how I feel, but what matters to me the most is Annabeth. She's back to me and that's all I need." Percy wrapped his arm around Annabeth's waist holding her tight against him.
"I understand son, but this fight isn't over… It's just started. They aren't going to stop until they get hold of Annabeth and perform the ritual." Poseidon said. "The ritual they are planning to perform won't keep Annabeth alive. It's too strong for a powerful wolf like Annabeth. All her powers will be ripped apart and go to the person who started the ritual. She will break. They will tear her apart piece by piece and nothing would be left of her. Just blood and flesh. No life. Even-"
"STOP!" Percy's voice echoed through the woods. Everyone stared at him in surprise, but he didn't care. He looked at Annabeth who looked like she'd been slapped and kicked over and over again. "Nothing's going to happen to you, Annabeth. I'm here. Everyone's here. We'll protect you no matter what. IS THAT RIGHT?!"
"YES!" the whole pack screamed.
"See. Everyone loves you Annabeth. We'll never let you die… If you were dead…" he didn't finish because he knew he would break down in front of his whole pack that believed in him and thought of him as a leader. He has to be strong to make everyone else strong.
Percy's father interrupted the silence. "We should get ready for the war that's taking place in less than 30 minutes." Everyone nodded getting ready for the fight. Percy felt stronger with his whole pack beside him. He lifted his head a little higher and set his shoulders right. He felt a little poke on his arm. He looked down to see a little girl smiling up at him. It was Will's daughter, Beatrice.
"Where's dwaddwy?" the little girl asked. A tug of guilt hit Percy. Will was captured by the other pack, but of course he couldn't tell that to her. Luckily Annabeth saved him.
"Daddy is on this mission. He'll come back soon as the war is over." Annabeth smiled down at the girl.
"Oh… All right." Beatrice said. "Ywou pwrettwy." She smiled up at Annabeth.
"Thank you so much sweetie. You're beautiful as well." Annabeth hugged the little girl who kissed her cheek and ran away to her little friends. Percy kissed the same cheek.
"Do I get a kiss back?" Percy asked.
Annabeth thought for a second. "Nope. You'll get one after this war. And it would be better than the ones we had before. If we live through this..."
"Of course we will." Percy said pulling her into his arms.
Annabeth nodded.

The Rogues and Annabeth's old pack circled around Percy's boundary. His pack was ready. Annabeth was up high in a tree with the Katie and Percy stood in front facing the rogues and the other pack with Travis.
Jessica walked forward. "Just hand over the girl and we will go away like nothing happened."
Travis stepped forward. "And if we don't?"
"You'll get a nice punishment." Jessica grinned revealing her crooked teeth.
"Well, we rather get that nice punishment than give in our Moon Goddess." Conner spat jumping down from a tree. He walked over to Percy and his brother. Both Travis and Conner stood either side of Percy. Percy's confidence boosted. He grinned, his boyish grin and stepped forward.
"These boys are right. We aren't letting our Moon Goddess die. If you want to get to her, get past us first." Percy said with amusement in his voice and eyes. He can't believe he was finding this amusing, but he had to. He has to keep his confidence high. He has to save his Luna even if he dies.
"Well, I'm sorry to say, but it looks like you guys are going to get a nice punishment." Jessica spat back. The rogues and couple men shifted into their wolf form while the others stayed in their human form.
Beside Percy both Travis and Conner shifted into their own wolf. Travis had his normal blue eyes and his fur was dirty brown. Conner had his normal eyes and his fur was this reddish brown colour. Both bared their fangs ready to leap. Some others behind shifted as well and joined Percy, Travis, and Conner. Travis looked at Conner who nodded and have him a look that looked like a smirk before both ran forward and leaped. The War started.
Percy leaped into action. He jumped up and caught a tree branch and swung himself up onto it. He jumped tree to tree before jumping back down right in front of Jessica. Jessica was still in her human form but she had shifted little. She bared her fangs and she grew her claws out. She lunged herself at Percy who grabbed her leg and threw her into a tree. She recovered quick and came back to action. She ran fast as she could and leaped. She got hold of a tree branch and swung herself forward and kicked Percy right in the stomach sending him falling backward. Percy got back up. He bared his fangs and his claws and jumped grabbed onto Jessica's leg. He pulled her down onto the ground and was about to crush her neck when a rogue jumped on him.
Percy got up letting go of Jessica. His claws dug into the rogues fur and pulled it off him. He stood up with anger running through his veins rather than blood. He shifted into his wolf, his clothes ripping off. He grabbed the rogue with his mouth and threw him far off into the distance. A growl escaped from his throat. He darted forward toward Jessica, but a shrill cry stopped him. He spun around to find his Moon Goddess tied and shouting his name.
"PERCY!"
