IMOGENE

I GROANED as I looked up from my book to see Magnus pacing back and forth in front of where I sat on the love seat. "If you keep pacing, you'll create a hole in the floor," I informed him, using my magic to put my book back on the bookcase.

Magnus glared at me before continuing to pace, tapping his phone on the palm of his hand. I pushed myself on the seat and ripped his phone out of his hand. "Hey!" he shouted at me as I held his phone out of his reach.

I slapped away his hands before jumping onto the couch and pressing the call button, putting it on loudspeaker. "NO!" Magnus screamed as I threw the phone at him as the ringing echoing through the apartment.

Magnus looked at me in worry when the ringing stopped and a familiar, deep voice echoed from the device. "Hello? Who is this?"

"Alexander. Hi. It's Magnus. We met the other day. You know, with the demon. Uh, yeah..." I slammed my hand onto my forehead at how awkward Magnus was being.

Why did my confidence husband go?

"Yeah, hey, what's up?" Alec's gruff voice rang from the phone making Magnus look at me in fright.

I pointed at the phone before signalling him to continue.

"I was just thinking it was really nice getting to know you. You seem... sympathetic. Would you like to go out for a drink sometime?" Magnus asked before looking over at me to see me giving him the thumbs up which gave him back his confidence.

"That sounds fun, um... When?" I heard Alec ask and I signalled Magnus to tell him right now.

"How about right now?" Magnus asked and I noticed Alec had hesitated before answering.

"Um... You know, now's not a really good time for me. Another time? Gotta go," Alec quickly said before hanging up.

"Playing hard to get. I love a challenge," Magnus said confidence which I made me giggle at him.

"There's the husband I know," I said to him as he walked over to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"What happened?" I asked when Magnus threw opened the doors, revealing Clary and a mundane carrying a wounded werewolf.

"He was attacked!" The mundane answered me as Magnus placed a white sheet on the couch.

"He needs a warlock. He needs you two," Clary explained as she panted from carrying the werewolf over to the couch.

"Put him here," I ordered them, making them place the werewolf on the covered couch.

"Where are you?" The werewolf muttered as he was placed on the couch.

"Luke..." Clary was interrupted by Luke as he started hallucinating.

"I can't find you. Where are... where are you? Where are you? Jocelyn! Where are you? Wait! Jocelyn! Jocelyn..." Luke shouted before Clary brought him out of it; "No, Luke, it's Clary. Can you hear me?"

"Clary, listen to me. Listen... You have to listen to me. I have to tell you, just in case..." Clary stopped Luke from continuing; "No, don't even say it, don't."

"No, listen to me. No, you need to know! Listen..." Luke suddenly let out a groan of pain.

"Was he bitten by an alpha?" Magnus asked making the mundane answer; "Yeah, why?"

I started counting down from three and when I reached one; Luke's eyes flashed bright green and he growled. I quickly ran away from him to where I stored my healing supplies. "Where do you think you're going?" I heard the mundane ask me as Luke continued through the transformation process, yelling loudly in pain.

"Hold him down," I ordered them as I finally found the ingredient to help Luke.

"We don't have a lot of time. It'll take a few moments to take effect," I informed them as I ran back over to Luke and shoved the bark in between his teeth.

"What's happening to him?" Clary asked me as she looked up from the injured werewolf.

"Random werewolf transformation. It's a side effect of the poison in the alpha bite," I informed her as we waited for Luke to finally stop transforming before falling unconscious.

Magnus and I left Clary and the mundane-whose name I found out was Simon- with Luke as we ran around, collecting the ingredients and equipment we needed for the antidote.

"The bark will stop the transformation for now, but Luke needs an antidote to stop the poison in his system. And we don't have all the ingredients here," Magnus informed the pair as we ran back into the living room, placing the stuff we did have on the table before continuing to rush around.

"Just tell me what you need and how to get it," Clary said to us but Magnus argued against her leaving Luke alone; "No, you stay here. Luke will need you if he wakes up."

"When he wakes up," Clary remarked back, making a loud sigh escape from my lips.

"I'll go," Simon volunteered which Jace repeated when he entered the apartment with blood dripping from his nose.

"Jace, what happened to you?" Magnus asked him as he grabbed Jace's face to inspect the blood.

Jace ripped his face from Magnus' grip who walked away from him as I held Jace a tissue to wipe the blood off. "Luke's car may have found its way into a pole while I was stashing it. I don't do mundane driving," Jace informed the others which made Simon remark; "Yeah, apparently."

"What do you need for the antidote?" Jace asked us and when I went to answer him; Simon spoke; "Hey, I got this."

"Phoenix eyes, moon salt, and Idris fulgurite," I informed them, rolling my eyes at the boys' attitude towards each other.

"One trip to the pharmacy, it'll take two seconds," I rolled my eyes at the mundane's answer.

"I know a guy. And, uh... I don't need him," Jace said, stopping Simon from walking out of the apartment.

"Too bad. You're getting me. We'll be right back," Simon informed us, giving Jace a stare down.

When they went to leave, Magnus stopped them by requesting something that made me raise an eyebrow; "One more thing. I need Alexander."

"Uh, why do you need Alec?" Jace asked in confusion which I didn't blame him for asking because I was confused as well.

"Virgin Shadowhunter energy," Magnus answered after thinking for a minute making me again roll my eyes.

"That explains so much," Simon said and I noticed Jace's face almost look scared at the mention of Alec's name.

"Um, Alec, yeah... I can't," Jace stuttered out and Clary walked over to the pair.

"Jace, just ask, please. You guys need to talk," Clary begged him, placing a hand on his arm.

"Trouble in paradise?" Magnus asked in a joking tone as he walked by the group.

"Just don't speak to me," Jace said, dragging Simon by his shirt out of the apartment.
