It is possible however that Reyna and Jason never expressed their feelings for the other to each other. I mean Reyna tends to mask how she truly feels (appearing to the Roman legion as a tough and strict leader, when in actuality she is stressed and trying to protect everyone). If she never told Jason how she felt or simply masked it, hoping he would make the first move, then Jason was fair game. If Jason just had a simple crush on Reyna, but developed true feelings of love for someone else (who openly returns those feelings), it isn't surprising that he would start dating her without talking to Reyna, who he was never dating in the first place.

As far as him dating a Greek, that is actually a pretty good sign of unity. It is like when a king would marry his daughter off to the prince of another land in order to establish peace. If Camp Jupiter's old Praetor is dating the enemy, then maybe the Greeks aren't that bad after all. We also don't know if Annabeth was being entirely serious with that remark.

Also, consider this for a moment. If each book in the series has 3 narrators, that is a total of 15 narrators total. Then, we have 7 demigods mentioned in the Great Prophecy, so each child of the prophecy will have 2 narrations in the series, with 1 chapter left over. So either someone is getting an extra narration in one of the books, or Annabeth is that extra 1 narrator. Just an idea...
