"In the Night"
Chapter 1 "The Alpha"
"BANG! BANG!"
I was startled awake by the sound of banging on my door, I rolled fast out of bed and pulled on a shirt and ran to the door. I turned on the kitchen light and unlocked the dead bolt on the door and opened it to reveal a crying woman.
"Jocelyn? What are you doing here?" I asked concerned.
"Luke they found Clary, I can't keep her at the institute. Valentine heard her crying he stormed into my room and saw me holding her. She's not safe there you have to take her, I can't." She panted and pushed past me into my apartment, all I could do was nod my head.
"Jocelyn you can't go back." I said sternly knowing what would happen if she went back.
"I know what will happen and I will not hide like a dog." She said to me which her words cut me like a knife. She sighed and closed her eyes and raked her hands through her hair. "I'm sorry I didn't mean it, I'm afraid that they will find Clary and realize she's not a shadowhunter, they will kill her just for sport. There has never been a shadowhunter/werewolf before this puts her in more danger than ever. You have to protect her Lucian, promise me no matter what happens to me you'll take care of our daughter."
She had tears running down her face, I didn't know what I could do to comfort her so I step towards her and pulled her into my arms. "I promise, I will love her as much as I love you." I heard her heart begin to slow its pace as she tightened her arms around me. I nuzzled my nose into her hair because I knew this would be the last time I would see the love of my life. I held onto her for as long as I could, she pulled away and look me in the eye with tears still flowing.
"No one could ever make me regret you or clary, please remember that and give her my love as she grows up." She said and placed a kiss on top of Clary's head and kissed me on the cheek.
She turned around slowly and walked out the door and into the rain. I watched her run down the side walk, listening to the sobs her mouth was making as she ran away from me and Clary. I stepped away from the window and over towards Clary who was asleep swaddle in one of her baby blankets laying silently on my couch. Once and a while she would twitch her nose or wrinkle up her nose, I starred at her for a while hearing her heart beat at a normal pattern. I reached down and picked her up when I got the smell of her inner wolf, she smelled like maple trees and honeysuckle .
I held her in my arms cherishing her as she slept, she would sometimes coo or yawn and try to move. I placed a kiss on top of her head and rocked her in my arms. "it's just you an me little wolf, you and me against the world."
~17 years later~
The smell of fresh bagels and coffees filled through my window, I shot straight up and looked at my alarm clock. " 6:45 Shit I'm late" I thought as I shot out of bed and straight into my one person closet. I pulled clothes off hangers and threw them onto my bed as I ran to the bathroom to get freshened up . Once I was down trying to tame my reddish brown hair I ran back into my room and got dressed.
I pulled on my ripped skinny jeans, my Fall out Boy crop top shirt that I got at their concert last year, and my combat books. I picked up my saddle bag and put my school books in it and ran down the stairs to the kitchen where my dad was drinking coffee and reading the paper.
He looked up at me and then down at his watch. "8 minutes. Not a bad record for being late." He mused and slid over a cup of black coffee.
"Well a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do." I shrugged my shoulders and took a swig of the coffee. "Are you working down at the station tonight?" I asked looking over at the calendar.
"No it's a full moon, we're going to the lake house tonight so get your homework for the next two days from your teachers today." He answered and placed his mug in the sink.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "I don't understand why I even have to go I haven't shifted yet and I'm going to be 18 in a month. Maybe I'm not even a wolf." I said and grabbed my keys.
"You're going because I saw a patrol of Shadowhunters last night when I was on duty and in don't need to take the chance of leaving you here and they finding you. We've been over this before Clary, you're coming." He said and placed a kiss on my head. "You're going to shift; you're just a late bloomer that's all."
"dad being a late bloomer means shifting when your 16, the normal age for wolves to shift is 12 alright. I'm 17 I think I'm a little over being a 'late bloomer'." I said and picked up my bag.
"Clary you'll shift I promise. Now get to school and learn something." He said and pulled me into a hug, i nuzzled my nose into his neck, smelling his aftershave and the oak woods that are in the park in the city. I pulled away and placed a kiss on his cheek. "I love you little wolf." He said and let me go.
I walked outside to my car and felt a weird feeling in my stomach that made me gag, I looked over my shoulder and saw a blonde hair boy with a hood starring at me from across the street. I shook my head and got in my car and made my way to school, I wanted to find out why he was watching me but I needed to follow my dad's words. 'Never go looking for trouble, leave it as it is'
I made my way to school, as I pulled up to the student parking lot I felt the feeling again, I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles were white. I could feel someone looking at me again but I ignored it and pulled into a parking spot, I put the car in park and took deep breaths until the feeling was gone.
I sighed and opened the door, grabbing my bag in the process of getting out. I locked the doors and walked into the building that was filled with people who obviously didn't know how to take a shower. I walked straight to my locker and put in the lock combination, I could feel the familiar heart beat of my best friend come up to me. "Hi Simon." I said as he opened his mouth.
Astonished he shook his head. "How do you know it's me every time, I swear its like you can smell me a mile away." He said which made me laugh because I actually could smell him a mile away.
"Youre the only person that talks to me in this school, of course I know it's you before you say anything." I answered snooty and grabbed the books out of my locker and shut it.
"Awh I'm touched Garroway, but I need to tell you something." Simon said excitedly.
"Well? What is it?" I asked getting impatient as I could hear the sound of the clock ticking.
"Manhattan High is getting three new kids." He said with a girly squeal, I laughed and shook my head.
"How is that relevant to my life?" I asked not really caring about new kids but more worried about getting to class.
"we haven't had new kids since you and thats pretty huge Garroway." He said I looked at him ready to say something when I smelt the sweet aroma of church incent and holy water fill the hall way. I looked over Simon's shoulder to see three kids walking down the hall spreading through the crowd like Moses did to the red sea. Two out of the three kids had black hair and blue eyes and the one in the middle had bright blonde hair and gold eyes.
I watched along with everyone else as they made their way to the administration office. When the boy with golden eyes looked at me I felt that feeling from earlier but stronger this time , I looked away from him and focused on the ground. My vision started to become blurry so I reached out and grabbed Simon who was talking but I couldn't hear a word he said.
Once the three went into the administration office the feeling went away, I looked up at Simon who was talking fast trying to calm me down. I shook my head and sighed and let go of Simon feeling way better than before, I looked back at Simon who was starring at me with concern.
"what the hell was that clary?" he asked and all I could do was shake my head.
"I have no clue." I answered and looked back at the office. "But I'm going to find out."
I walked towards my first class and grabbed my phone out of my pocket and dialed my dad. The phone rang and rang until I got his voice mail.
"This is detective Garroway, please leave me a message at the beep." I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Dad it's Clary we really need to talk."
A/N: So I wanted to come up with a plot that was unique and I'm pretty sure that this is very unigue. I hope you enjoy and stay for the next chapter to come.
Love ForeverNicole
