Chapter 10:

Clary's POV:

Time jump: Two months

I woke up to an empty bed again. I had gotten so used to Jace cuddling me in the mornings that I felt his absence a lot. There had been a raid at the Lightwood kingdom and Jace had gone to help, fight of the attackers and make sure everything was ok. Isabel was staying at the Blackthorn castle and everyone was forbidden to leave their Kingdoms in case the attackers had any ideas. According to Maia and Poppy, this happened a lot and it lastes two or three weeks, but once there had been a really bad raid killing five soliders and wounding a lot of the other men including Alec. I was worried but I had tried to busy myself with exploring. I swung my feet out of bed and called for Maia and Poppy.

"Morning Clary!" Maia sings Poppy follows looking tired. "Isn't it such a wonderful day, the sun is shining birds are singing, ahhhhhh." I look at Poppy in confusion.

"Maia has met a new guard called Jordan and they spent the evening together and all I hear now is Oh Jordan this and Jordan that." she takes a deep breath. I laugh and smile at my friends. I have come so far in the past seven months. I have made friends and I have a loving husband. Ok so we aren't quite at the 'loving' stage but who knows...

"Come on lets get you dressed"

I was sitting in the library reading about the old shadow hunter legends. Where Runes had powers to heal and stuff. When I was younger my father would tell me that the runes could heal and make you fast. But of course Jonathan ruined my imagination and I know that runes don't give actual power they just show authority. I'm pulled from my thoughts by a timid knock at the door.

"Mrs Clary, I have some information regarding your husband."

"Well, please tell."

"One of the attackers has been identified as a Morgenstern solider, Your brothers solider and has stabbed the king in the stomach he is being healed as well as possible but he is trieing to get back her as soon as possible." He nods his head and exists the room. Why would Jonathan attack the lightwood kingdom? Is Jace ok?

I spend the rest of the day worrying. I don't want to eat supper so Maia draws so a bath and I let her go for the night, telling her I would dress myself for bed. I'm in the tub for an hour. I look at the clock and see that it is 11:30 pm. i sigh and get out, wrapping a robe around me. I spend and hour tossing and turning worrying about Jace and its nearly 1 am. I'm about to get up and get a glass of water when I here a noise outside my door. I lie stock still. Who would want to come in my room. The door pushes open and I grab or Jace's knife at the side of his table. The person walks in and I leap at them holding the knife to their throat.

"Clary Its me"

"Jace?"

"yes Clary, your safe." I put the knife down and he turns on the light and I can see him.

"Jace!" I yell as I leap into his arms. He stumbles back but regains his balance quickly enough. I wrap my legs around his waist and breath in his scent. He strokes my hair and I start crying letting the relief of seeing him ok bring me a sense of security. He carries me to our bed and I roll off him, once I see him clearly I can see small cuts across his face. I run my hand over them and he winces.

"Sorry," I say meekly, then I remember what the guard from earlier had told me. "Your stomach, Are you ok?" he takes his shirt of and I look down. His lower abs are covered in white bandages.

"Painful, but i'll live." He pulls me towards him and I push my head forward so our lips can meet, he swipes his tongue across my lower lip and I grant him assess and our tongues fight for dominance. He flips us over so I'm underneath him and his elbows are supporting him. He moves away from my mouth and starts kissing along my cheek, I hook my hands around his neck and play with the strands that fall there. He starts kissing along my neck, small butterfly kisses. He nips gently at my ear.

"Jace, its the middle of the night." I say starting to wriggle away.

"We are married Clary" He replies grabbing me still. "What's the matter? Hmm Clare?" He bumps his nose against mine. The truth is. I'm a little scared. I have been kept in The morgenstern kingdom and hardly ever went outside so i still felt scared about things that were new.

"Clary you know we don't have to do anything you don't want to. Clary I trust you to tell me things. Please don't feel afraid of telling me how you feel." I look him in the eye and say;

"I was scared, but I trust you, I do I-i just need reminding that your not Jonathan." He pushes some stray strands of hair from my face and I know that I can trust him. I lean upwards and he looks at me waiting for me so I whisper.

"Its ok" And its all it takes before he's kissing me. I feel his hand creeping up my night robe and I tense but draws circles on my stomach and I calm down. I slide my hands up and down his back. Earning me a moan from Jace. I had never heard anything like it and I decided that I liked the noise. He moved down and started kissing down on the flat of my stomach pushing the two sides of the rode away leaving me in just me undies. He sucks on the skin there and I moan arching my back slightly. He brings his face up to look at me in the eye and smiles down at me. He pulls me up so the rode falls of my shoulders on onto the floor. He starts to pull me onto his lap but I stop him.

"Jace I might hurt you." I said pointing at his bandages.

"Clary Please, I missed you so much."

"I don't want it to get worse."

"It won't, I promise." He tugs me back and buries his face in my hair, letting his fingers trail across my legs.

"Jace."

"hmmm"

"It was Jonathan wasn't it"

"I'm afraid so Clare. All directions lead to him" I take an intake of breath and I start to have another panic attack but Jace is there rubbing circles across my back.

"Hey, Hey Clary. He can't get you now. I promise. Your not his anymore. Your safe" Jace leans back and pulls the covers over both of us. I'm still lying of top of him and he traces patterns across my back. The sound of his heart beat lulls me to sleep and I close my eyes.
