1. Chapter 1

30 Days Of Love

Day 1

*A deadly demon infected Alexander Gideon Lightwood with its poison.

All warlocks, witch doctors and healers all said the same thing: "There is no way to cure you."

Then a warlock told Alexander that he only had one month before the demon poison would kill him.

It's the start of that one month.

30 days before Alexander dies.*

Alexander's POV

The Institute is a place of ghosts.

Everyone walks around with pale, shocked faces.

First it was Max.

Now it's me.

I can stand to be there anymore.

Can't stand to watch Mayrse and Robert lock themselves in their offices and bury themselves with work to try and avoid the fact that in one month, I am going to die.

Can't stand to hear Isabelle cry softly in her room at night, thinking that no one can hear her.

Can't stand to watch Jace get into more and more dangerous fights, because he just can't cope with the truth.

I spend more and more time in the mundane world.

As a shadowhunter, we are meant to look down at all other species with disdains.

Because we are descendents of angels.

We are superior to others.

But now, I envy the mundane.

Mundanes who have no idea about the kind of sacrifices our kind make to keep humans safe.

Mundanes who tell their selves that creatures from myth don't exist.

We throw myself into the middle of it all, living in world where our main focus is eliminating those 'mythical creatures' to keep those foolish, shallow mundane safe.

And do we get recognition ?

Any sign that people are grateful that we are there to protect them ?

No.

Instead we get one month to live before a demon poison kills us.
