Summary: Clary Fray has everything she wants... or so she tells the Seile Queen. Her evil father, Valentine, is dead. Her mother is risen from a coma like sleep. And best of all, her brother no longer, Jace, isn't gone forever.

Jace and Clary rediscover their relationship soon after Valentine's death. You'd think they could catch a break. No, that's not how things work in the Shadowhunter world.

A race of greater super demons has found a way into New York City. Mundanes are blind, so they cannot defend themselves. It's up to Clary, Jace, Alec and Isabelle and the wolves to save them all... Before it's too late.

Chapter One

Clary

"Hey Luke," I said as I opened the door. Luke stood there with what looked like twenty grocery bags in each hand. My mother was right behind him with a similar lot.

" Hey Clary. Is Simon here?" my mom replied.

"Yeah, and so is Maia. They are like joined at the hip!" I exclaimed. My mom looked at LuKe with an expression I know well. It said " should we tell her yet?" .

"Okay, what's up guys? You are giving each other that look," I told them.

"What look?" Luke said innocently, setting his grocery bags on the buffet table in the living room.

"Oh you know. That look you give each other when you're not sure you want to tell me something. So tell me." I replied. By now I could tell we had an audience. Simon and Maia were standing behind me with unsure looks on their faces.

"Uhm... We'll just be going now," Maia stuttered.

"No. You can stay. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough," my mom said quickly.

"Find out what? I've been waiting past two minutes and I have failed to understand what you are trying to say!" I said, exasperated.

" Okay. Clary, you're mother has agreed to marry me. I figured you would want some say in that, so here we are. I... I just... I wanted to make sure that was okay, about me being your stepdad," Luke said slowly.

I hesitated. I wanted to scream, yes yes yes! I wanted to tell them I had always wanted Luke to he my father, and this was a dream come true. But I couldn't seem to find my lips.

"Oh, well I mean, I don't have to b-" Luke didn't get to finish.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I? Yes yes yes! A million times yes!" then I hugged them both. Someone cleared their throat behind us. I grinned and spun around. "Congradulations . I'm really happy for you," Simon said.

"Yeah, congrats. Comon Simon. I think it's time we left," Maia said," Maybe we could go visit the Lightwoods or something."

I've always liked Maia. She is smart and pretty, with dark skin and hair that is always in braids. Maia is a lycanthrope and Luke is her pack leader. Her and Simon have always had a thing for each other, but now it's strictly friendly. Simon is gravitating more towards the Lightwood girl, Isabelle.

"Clary? Clary? Yoo hoo? Did you hear what I just said?" Mom said. I just shook my head.

" Oh, well what I began to say is that we were thinking of having the wedding in June. You know, at that little out of the way park. It wouldn't be big, just us, Simon, Maia, the Lightwoods, and maybe the pack. Nothing to extravigent." she went on. Wow. How great could this day get? The only thing that could make it better would be...

" I'm here. Did you miss me?" Jace. Of course, he just happens to show up with great timing.

" Sure. Hey Mom and Luke are engaged! Isn't that awesome?" I said.

" No way. I'm hoping I get to be ring bearer," he replied.

"Uh, Jace, I think a ring bearer has to be under the age of five to be considered appropriate. Besides, you look more like a best man kinda person," Luke said.

I glanced at Jace. He just shrugged, and managed to have his too long blonde hair flopping in his eyes and still look like an angel. I could almost imagine the drawing of him with white angel wings sprouting out of his back. It seemed like forever ago I drew it, but my concious mind reminded me it had only been a few months since my world turned upside down.
