Pertemis: A Wolf’s Tale novel Chapter 26

Percy’s Point of View

PThey both startled as Percy jumped off Artemis immediately. His eyes were still panicked as his brain was still trying to compromise as least to remember what'd just happened between. That was until he turned to the person that interrupted their moment.

She was too hard for the description his brain could form. Too beautiful for his eyes could set, for his heart to beat and for him to breathe.

In front of him was a women, a goddess as he believed. She was elegantly without trying, fashionable without effort and stunning without makeup. She appeared with that ethereal, smooth and flawless skin. Her blonde curly Disney princess hair like Annabeth shinning under the sun. Her face was what made Perseus lost his breath, his heart to skip a beat. Those were Artemis, part of his mother and Hestia. This goddess possessed the prettiest trace of every woman he had met. But mostly Artemis. Her eyes kept changing the colour from stormy grey to silver, then to icy blue that to fiery orange and to shining gold. It was hard to describe, it confused his nerves. She was in that perfect shape, nothing to criticise in that elegant and elaborate pink dress, a crown of flowers upon her golden hair.

The place her feet touched seemed to be more lively, flower grew around her, grass coiling around with flowers, even some made those perfect shapes of the heart.

"It's seemed that I've interrupted something" her voice was elegant like the high class people with grace and contain a little amount of arrogance, yet flirtatious.

"It's a misunderstanding" Artemis swept her jacket and stared at her.

"So don't you mind to explain Artemis?" She smiled. Percy could not make any word to help Artemis. He was overwhelmed by her beauty, the unknown desire building up within him. Even the Moon beast was brought down by such astonishing sight of a being.

"It's-"

"And I wonder who this handsome man might be" the goddess didn't let Artemis have any chance to speak as she walked over to Percy and ran her finger on his chest.

Percy's knee felt like Jello at her touch, all his muscles just melt along with his brain. Those dazzling eyes like pools of spring water stared at his, made him just wanted to bow at her feet and her smile that would've lit up the dark side of the moon.

"I-I" he just stared at her, his lips and tongue had just curled together.

"APHRODITE stop using your power on him!" Artemis suddenly yelled that Percy suddenly got back his strength. Aphrodite gave out the cutest pout in front of him as she turned back to Artemis.

"Aww" She groaned. "It's not common to find Artemis close to a man like this. I just wanted to test his endurance"

"For what?" Artemis grumbled.

"To see if he's just like common man or worthy enough for even Artemis to be comfortable at his touches."

"And..." Artemis leaned closer. The look on her face that really wanted that answer only to worry Perseus even more.

"Hah you fell for it!" Aphrodite suddenly exclaimed as she pointed at Artemis. "I knew one day, one day Artemis would come to that!"

"I told you Athena! Suck it cus now you're owning me a hundred drachmas!" She then turned to the sky and shouted at it.

"I told you for the second time it's not what you think!" Artemis cried.

"How can I deny when you were in his arms, your lips were at the point of touching?" Aphrodite looked at her with a sneer. "And I can sense it Artemis"

"Sense what!?" Artemis grimaced as she snapped.

"There's definitely something going on between you two!" She clapped her hand.

"Tell me is he your new boyfriend" she appeared next to Artemis and flung her arm around Artemis shoulder. "How long had you guys dating? How many time did you kiss? Are you still a maiden goddess? If no then was it intense?"

"What intense?" Artemis frowned.

"You know what I meant" Aphrodite smiled at her. "That xxx session" and started touching the tips of her index together.

"Well to tell you the fact Aphrodite" Artemis rolled her eyes. "That boy right there is my half little brother to whom you assumed to be an impossible to even think boyfriend AND THERE'S NO WAY ILL BE GETTING INTO THAT XXX!"

"Oh..." Aphrodite leaned back and looked disappointed. "But it still can develop through time" But she shrugged at last.

Artemis groaned in frustration as Percy prepared for calling the hunter to carry Aphrodite into the infirmary. But it seemed Artemis was better with anger management around Aphrodite or at least not to lung at and kill her.

"It will not happen!" Artemis yelled.

"She's cute when she gets angry isn't she?" Aphrodite voice suddenly came at his side as Percy turned only to have her leaning her elbow on his shoulder. It made him jumped literally.

"You seriously should stop teleporting suddenly next to someone like that" Percy said, trying to calm himself.

"Aww did I scare you handsome?" Aphrodite brushed his cheek and it made every hair on his body saluted.

"Mind if I have your name?" She smiled.

"Perseus"

"Interesting name you have there" The goddess said. "I used to admire the original Perseus. It was great in fighting monsters and in bed as well"

"Stop corrupting him Aphrodite!" Artemis scowled from a distance.

"Fine I'm getting serious" Aphrodite moved her fingers from Percy skin and threw them up in surrender. "Tell me everything."

"So that day I was suspecting everything and I was right" Aphrodite finally made out few words after hearing our story. "And you are saying Hestia knew and not me!?"

"I wanted to keep it a secret." Artemis explained. "The less people know the better."

"I'm disappointed Arty" Aphrodite pouted. "We've best friend for thousands of years and you didn't trust me."

"Ok first of all do you know what is the definition of best friend is?" Artemis spoke irritatingly.

"Friend that knows you long enough and whom you can trust" Aphrodite said without hesitation. "I've fitted with all of it."

"Urggg what ever!" Artemis groaned as she waved her hand. "Anyway as I was saying, I want to keep this secret and Perseus's profile as low as possible. Therefore you cannot tell anyone about him"

"Ok" Aphrodite smiled and put on a sign by her fingers.

"I meant it Aphrodite" Artemis pressed in.

"Uhm ok you can trust me" Aphrodite said in a more sensible way this time.

"Now I suppose that you should leave here cus where have to return to camp soon" Artemis announced.

"Aww I want to stay with Perseus a bit more!" Aphrodite groaned and wrapped her arms around his, pressing her body on it.

"I told you not to corrupt him" Artemis growled.

"But he's too rare" Aphrodite pouted. "You are lucky Arty."

"Ok for the five hundred and sixty six times. DO NOT CALL ME ARTY AND PERSEUS IS MY BROTHER!"
