Hey guys-sorry it's been so long-I actually had written this when I released the prologue but there was no response to it so I wasn't sure if people liked it. However, now more people seem interested in it so here is chapter 1:
Jace PoV:
"All unmarried shadowhunters will be coupled with another shadowhunter to be wedded following a week together. They must both prove to be fertile, following a marriage of 3 months." They couldn't do this. They had no right. We were happy with our lives. Alec was happy to focus only on his work, and Izzy was happy dating downworlders. I was happy "sleeping with every female that existed" as Izzy put it. All I knew was that my wife to be was called Clarisssa Fairchild and she was coming from New York. I was praying that she was hot.
Clary POV:
I suppose it was weird at first to think that we would be married to someone we didn't know but to be honest, Simon and I were just happy that we at least got a week before we got married. All I knew was that I was travelling to London to meet my spouse, who was called Jace Herondale. I just hoped that he wasn't arrogant or mean or anything like that.
—30 minutes later—
Jace POV:
The first person out of the portal was a stunning blonde. I hoped she was Clarissa. "Sebastian Verlac, meet your wife." Damnit. Next was a dorky looking brown haired guy. "Isabelle Lightwood, meet your husband." Isabelle looked slightly disappointed, although she did her best to hide it. The guy looked impressed. She walked over and led him back to our small group. I was watching Izzy's face so I wasn't paying attention to the portal. "Jonathon-Christopher Herondale?" I looked up. I hadn't realised they were calling me. I got up and walked towards a red haired girl. "Jonathon-Christopher, meet your wife." She wasn't my usual type. She was quite small and she didn't look impressed by me, which I wasn't used to. I turned and headed back to my seat, expecting her to follow. When I turned around, she was coming over and I could see my mother looking angry out of the corner of my eye.
Clary PoV:
Great. My future husband sucked. He looked perfect. His personality, however, was the opposite. Thankfully, it appeared that Simon's bride was friends with him for some reason so I could go and talk to Simon instead. "Hi, I'm Clary, you must be Isabelle?"
The raven haired girl looked at me. She smiled "Izzy. D'you two know each other?"
Simon beamed "We're besties."
"Ohh, I'll leave you to talk about us then." She laughed as she walked over to Jace and another guy.
"So what do you think? She seems nice."
"She's super nice! I think she was a bit disappointed to get a bit of a dork but she's hiding it well. And she's so hot!"
It was Clary's turn to laugh. "What about Jonathon-Christopher?"
"Complete dick, hasn't said a word to me yet."
Jace POV:
Izzy walked over, leaving her nerd with Clarissa. "Your future wife is so sweet!"
I just grunted in reply. "Jace, you should give her a chance. I know this was a surprise to us all but you have to adapt."
I rolled my eyes and turned to Alec and the short blonde woman next to him. "Jace, Izzy, meet Steph. Steph, my brother and sister."
"Nice to meet you, Steph.
Sorry for so many POV changes. Let me know below if you want more POV's (eg. Izzy and Simon) or just Clace.
