His father, Robert Lightwood stood proud of his son, taking praise for his son's accomplishments. While his mother, Maryse was the stricter of the parental figures in his life. She was one to challenge him and gave little praise for his accomplishments. After Jace had been brought into the fold and being like a brother to him. His own mother had turned her affection to Jace, and his jealously began to grow. Not because he would never win his mother's affections, but the man he was growing to love was being adored in a manner, that he wished he could express.
Alec was still trying to figure out the fluttering knots in his stomach each time Jace would smile in his direction. To say at the least, Alec was confused. Jace was his parabati and their bond was strong, sometimes he wondered if there was something more to them. However he knew The Clave, along with his parents would never approve of them nor his sexuality. Being gay is against the rules of a Shadowhunter and would be shunned by The Clave. So for Alec he would have to keep his affections at bay and hide his true desires, even from himself.
It was a typical night at institute, get a mission and execute. Which usually meant killing demons and unruly downworlders. Tonights mission was to take down a demon worshipper, that went by the name Tiffany. Known for luring mundanes into sacrificial rituals, to make them vessels for her demonic lovers. The institute received news about a party she would be attending that evening and her next victim. A young man just about Alec's age, the Shadowhunter could fill the blood in his veins boil seeing her face light up the mission rapport.
Tiffany had slipped from their grasp on occasion, Jace's plans seemed to fail her demise and left Alec even more aggravated. Alec's perfectionist side beginning to get the best of him, when it came to this mission. Once receiving orders, he decided to go rouge on a mini mission to scope out the perspective victim. This was out of character, as mundanes were worthless to him, however this mission was his one way ticket to finally empress The Clave. Alec hoped to become a member and was growing tired of the mundane dirty work.
He used his invisibility rune as he got close to the mundane's home, looking back at the info he read the name: Tobias Rivers. Alec kept a far distance from Tobias and observed him. He seemed virginal and naive. Someone too good and pure for the world that awaited him. Which was just what Tiffany liked, a virgin sacrifice. Alec caught himself chuckling at Tobias's shakey conversations with his friends about attending the party tonight and hoping to land the deal with Tiffany. "Oh mundane if you only knew what would be awaiting you tonight." Alec chuckled under his breathe.
Night had fallen and Alec knew he had to re-group with Jace and Isabelle to take down Tiffany. He suited up and grabbed his trusty bow. A confident grin over his lips as Jace came in to divulge the plan. "Tobias is your typical virgin mundane, he is going to the party tonight. Tiffany will most likely strike tonight as the mundane is looking to sleep with her." Alec arched a brow to Jace's reaction. "So we have to take her down tonight, The Clave can't have another mundane vessel to harbor a demon. Tiffany's army is growing stronger and demons never obey their leaders." Jace ordered. Alec nodded and followed behind Jace as they made their way to the party.
The invisibility rune placed on the trio as they appeared at the destination, Alec rolled his eyes at the abandoned house theme party. "Her taste never seizes to amaze me." Alec coughed up a laugh and drew out an arrow as they broke off to different areas of the party. Alec searching the place for signs of Tobias, his heart racing as he was growing worried for the mundane. A feeling that he was not familiar with. His ears catching the faint conversation of the male's voice, and then chanting coming from somewhere within the house. Alec made haste, he knew time was running out for the mundane and every second that passed meant his death was getting closer.
Alec heard the blood curdling screams from the mundane from a room at the end of the hall. Alec wondering where Jace and Isabelle had been, knowing they should have heard the screams. His arrow drew back as he kicked down the door and let go arrow after arrow at Tiffany. One hitting her thigh to drop her down to her knees, another at her hand, causing her to drop the blade that dripped in mundane blood. Then with one more arrow he pierced her heart causing her to fall face first onto the wood floor. Alec's gaze than went to Tobias, his body mutilated with etched demonic symbols and barely hanging onto life. It was only a matter of time till the mundane inside was gone and his shell would be taken over.
Removing his rune, Alec went to his side. His hand clinching the staff of his arrow, knowing he needed to put down the mundane. It would be what The Clave wanted, however when Tobias caramel hues looked into his. Alec could feel the pain and heartache of the mundane. Tobias died being betrayed by the hopes of a first love, 18 years of life gone in a blink of an eye. The others would be in the room any minute, and Alec had to decide to spare a hint of his life or put him out of his misery. He let out a groan and picked up the mundane's lifeless body. "I have you." Alec muttered under his breathe and carried him away from the room.
