One Hundred & One One Shot:
Biker Gang
Jace POV:
I've grown up around the Brotherhood. There was nothing I ever questioned about it because it was the norm for me. When I was 16, I was officially made a member, and there was something so incredibly rewarding about being part of something that meant so much to so many people.
The Demon Syndicate was the best thing that's every happened to me, I met some of my best friends there and we were the biggest family you'd ever come in contact with. We would do everything for each other: fight, steal, kill. It didn't matter. They were my brothers, and I would ride and die for them any day of the week.
What I didn't expect to happen in my life was falling in love with someone who was not affiliated with my lifestyle whatsoever. See, when you're involved in the type of lifestyle that I am, you get with a girl who knows the ins and outs of the lifestyle. It was easier that way. They knew what it was like being involved with a member, but the moment I met Clary, everything changed.
Flashback:
I was walking into the local coffee shop like I always do. I was normally in charge of getting the morning pick me up since I could normally charm Kaelie into giving us the drinks for free. She was a biker gang whore, willing to put out for anyone in the club no matter what. She liked that status it came with, and I didn't mind if it meant I didn't have to pay for coffee.
I walked in expecting to see the normal bottle blonde, but instead, there was a redhead behind the counter and I kid you not, everything stopped. Now I normally don't believe in love at first sight bullshit, but man, there was something there, and I didn't even know her name.
"Can I help you?" She asked and I was drawn out of the spell she casted on me, and even her voice was angelic.
"Uh yea, I have quite a big order." I said and she laughed, damn, I was a goner.
"I think I can handle it." She said and I smiled.
"Okay, I need 5 medium plain black coffee's with room for cream and sugar, 3 large plain black coffee's with 4 shots of espresso, 3 caramel lattes, 4 vanilla lattes, and 1 Columbian dark roast." I said.
"Wow. You weren't kidding." She said and I laughed.
"I never kid about coffee." I said and she smiled. She went about making the drinks, but she was making small talk with me, which I thoroughly enjoyed. She was easy to talk too, and I loved the sound of her laugh. After what normally feels like a lifetime, but only felt like 5 minutes with Clary, my order was ready.
"I hope whoever is getting these coffees enjoys them, and you generous offer to get them all." She said and I smiled.
"I can assure you that they will all be pleased." I said and she smiled. "I don't mean to be intrusive, but Kaelie normally works this shift, where is she?" I asked.
"No idea." She said. "I was called in last minute because she failed to show for her shift."
"And what shift do you normally work?" I asked.
"I normally work last shift. I close the shop a lot." She said and I nodded. No wonder I never saw her before. "But I'm relatively new to the area. I've only been here about a month."
"Explains why I've never seen you before." I said and she nodded.
"Well, have a great day." She said and I smiled.
"You too." I said and I walked out, feeling like I was going to enjoy my trip to the coffee shop a lot more now.
End of Flashback
That was almost a year ago, and after that day, I knew that I had to get to know her. So I asked her out, and we've been together ever since. Our relationship was heaven, and I loved every minute of it. Of course Clary didn't know everything about The Demon Syndicate. I liked to keep her out of the lifestyle as much as I possibly could. I didn't want her to be involved, so she new the basics, and that was enough for her.
Getting the Brotherhood behind me was a little trickier. They didn't think it was wise to date a girl who wasn't used to our lifestyle. Living a life of unconventionally means wasn't for everyone, and I knew that. Clary made an honest living, and I would never ask her to give that up for me, but I was totally in love with her, and I wasn't letting her go. Once they all saw how serious I was about her, they decided that if I was happy, it was okay, and having their support meant the world to me.
About 3 months ago Clary and I actually decided to get a place together. We found a place that was close enough to her work, and within decent proximity to the club, and we were happy. There wasn't anything that I could complain about. I had the girl of my dreams next to me every single night, and I planned on spending the rest of my life with her. The Demon Syndicate was currently under new management, so things have been rocky in the Brotherhood, but coming home to Clary every night was the one thing that calmed me down no matter what and I treasured our connection, and our relationship.
It was late, and the meeting with the Brotherhood ran way later than expected, and the minute I walked into the apartment I instantly felt at ease. It smelled like Clary, and that alone calmed me down. I put my stuff down, hung up my cut and walked into the living room. Clary was peacefully asleep on the couch, which I thought was extremely cute. I walked over, turned the TV off, and scooped her up into my arms. I walked her to our room and put her in bed when she stated to stir.
"Jace?" She questioned.
"Yea baby. I'm here." I said.
"You took so long." She said and I smiled.
"I know. The meeting went way longer than expected." I told her.
"Did you get everything sorted out?" She asked.
"Yea. Everything is good." I said and she nodded. "Get some sleep. I'm going to shower and than join you."
"Okay. Love you." She said and I kissed her head.
"I love you too." I said and she curled into the comforter and fell back asleep.
After my shower, I got dressed and joined Clary in bed. She immediately curled into my side and rested her head on my chest. I kissed the top of her head yet again, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Time Jump – Next Day
Clary POV:
I woke up and Jace wasn't in bed. This wasn't a rare occurrence. Most mornings I found the bed empty, but I knew that he had other obligations that he needed to take care of, so I never got mad, as long as he always came home at night, that's all I cared out. I knew very little of what Jace did with his friends. I knew that he was a part of some organization that wasn't exactly law abiding, but as for any other details, I was pretty in the dark.
The Demon Syndicate was something that I never even knew about until I met Jace. The day that he asked me out was a crazy day, and than when we were at dinner, and he explained the basics of what he was involved in, I was in complete shock.
Flashback:
I was nervous for my date tonight, but I was also really excited. I couldn't wait to find out more about him than what we talk about when he comes into the coffee shop to order his usual. There was a knock at my apartment and I took a deep breath before going to enter it. When I opened it, there stood Jace, in black skinny jeans, a plain white tee, and a leather jacket. He looked better than any male model I've ever seen, and I was going out with him.
"You look great." He said and I smiled.
"So do you." I said.
"You ready?" He asked and I simply nodded. I locked my apartment and we headed towards the restaurant. Being in Jace's company was really calming, and I couldn't really explain how he did that to me.
We got the restaurant and we were seated immediately. We were back in the corner away from prying eyes, and it just seemed like it was only Jace and I in the restaurant. We ordered our food, and Jace got us a bottle of wine. The evening was perfect. When our food arrived, the conversation shifted from light, to more serious.
"There is something you need to know about me Clary." He said. "Before we start progressing in this relationship, or whatever it becomes." He said and I nodded. I didn't know where this was going. "So, the biggest thing you should know about me is that I'm involved in a organization that doesn't exactly deal with conventional ways of earning a living."
"You mean you don't have a normal job?" I asked a little confused.
"I mean, I do have a normal job but that's more of a side thing. The main way I make money isn't normal." He said with a little laugh. "I guess there isn't a way to work around it so I'm just going to just say it out right." He said and I laughed. "I'm a member of the motorcycle gang called The Demon Syndicate." He said and my jaw dropped.
"A gang?" I asked.
"It's more of a brotherhood, but that doesn't mean that if someone wrongs us, we won't take revenge." He said and I just nodded. He reached over the table and took my hands in his. "I don't plan on getting you involved at all. I just wanted you to know what I do." He said and I nodded. "I just like you so much, and I feel such a strong connection that I needed to see where it went." He said.
"Have you killed anyone?" I asked without even thinking.
"Don't ask me that Clary." He said.
"So you have?" I asked.
"I'm not some homicidal maniac who just kills anyone I see. I would go more along the lines of a vigilante killer." He said and I nodded.
"So you do it when you feel the law isn't doing their job right?" I asked and he nodded. "Okay." I said as I tried to process everything. "Okay, is there anything else I should know?" I asked.
"You won't come anywhere near the Brotherhood. I don't plan on introducing you to any other members. I don't want our rival to see you affiliating with us." He said and I nodded. "I want you to go about living the normal life you're used to, just with me in it."
"Why aren't you dating someone who is involved with your life?" I asked.
"Because I feel something with you that I've never felt before." He said and I nodded.
"Okay. I think I can handle that." I said and he smiled.
The rest of the night was normal, but I couldn't get the information that Jace told me tonight. Of course it was shocking, but he was right, I did feel something I've never felt before, and it doesn't matter what he does for a living, I wanted to explore what that feeling was.
End of Flashback
It was a normal day for me and I was getting ready for work. Although working at a coffee shop wasn't the dream job I wanted, it was something that made money, and I needed that. I walked to the coffee shop considering that it was right down the block. When I got in, I started my shift. I wasn't feeling great today, I've been battling a cold for a few days, and I didn't really want to do anything, but I needed the money, so I had to suffer through the cold. It was going to be a long day. I knew it.
Jace POV:
We had a meeting today about a lot of brotherhood administration. Since we were under new management, things were still getting worked out. Today was the day that we were finally moving up in the ranks and getting everyone in their respected positions.
"Okay, so we need to discuss who is going to be moved up, and who is not." Robert, the new head, said.
"I think we should just move everyone up one position from what they were before." Alec, his son and my best friend, said.
"Does that work with everyone?" He asked and everyone gave a nod. And Robert turned to me. "Welcome to the VP role." He said and we shook hands. I'm not going to lie, it felt good being at the top of the hierarchy. I felt powerful, and needed. My time in this brotherhood wasn't wasted, and I was planning on taking my new position seriously.
Time Jump – Hours Later
Jace POV:
I got home at the same time Clary did. She looked exhausted, and I couldn't blame her. She's been feeling a little under the weather lately, and constantly working wasn't good for her healing process. She took her shoes off and plopped down on the couch.
"You want something to eat?" I asked.
"Do we have any soup?" She asked and I looked through the cabinet.
"We have tomato soup." I said.
"That works." She said.
"And I'll through in a grilled cheese too." I said and I heard her laugh.
"You're the best." I heard her say so I started cooking. 10 minutes later, everything was done and I brought it out to Clary. She was curled under some blankets, nearly asleep.
"Baby, the food is ready." I said and she opened her eyes.
"Thank you." She said as she sat up.
"So, I know I don't like bringing the brotherhood home, but I have to share this with you." I said and she nodded. "You're looking at the new VP of The Demon Syndicate."
"Oh my god!" She said as she put the soup down and threw her arms around me. "I'm so proud of you." She said and I hugged her back. "Although I feel like that's not the right thing to see considering The Demon Syndicate isn't like a major cooperation, but a gang, I'm still proud of you nonetheless because you've worked for it." She said and I laughed.
"I appreciate it. I've been with the brotherhood since I was 16, legitimately. I was around it from the moment I was born since my dad was the pres, but I feel like I've finally made my own name within the group, and that feels good." I explained. She tangled her hands into my hair and smiled at me.
"I'm really proud of you." She said and I leaned forward and kissed her.
"Finish your soup, and than take some medicine, and get some sleep." I said and she nodded.
It didn't take her long at all to finish the food. She came into the kitchen, gave me the dirty dishes, kissed me goodnight and than disappeared into the bedroom. I opened the file that I had Alec get me. It was a couple weeks ago, I felt like someone was following Clary and I. I told Alec about it, and he promised to look into it. He's been secretly following Clary around for a few weeks now, and I just got the pictures that he's been taking.
Just as I suspected, she was being followed, and I didn't like it. The three men in the picture belong to the Night Children. Our rival gang. They do most of their dealings at night, but have taken an interest in Clary, and that didn't sit well with me at all. I texted Alec and said that we needed to meet right now. I grabbed my cut, and headed out to my bike. We met at our usual spot. I was anxious, so I grabbed my cigs and started smoking as Alec pulled up.
"You take a good look at the pictures?" He asked as I gave him a cig.
"Yea. It's those fucking Night Children." I said.
"I don't know how well you studied them, but they alternate between three members." He said.
"Who?" I asked.
"Sebastian, Raphael, and Meliorn." He said.
"Fucking pricks." I muttered.
"Is there anything else you'd like me to do?" Alec asked.
"Keep an eye out for Clary." I said. "Set up shifts or something, but make sure she is never truly alone." I said and he nodded.
"I'll talk to Simon and Max." Alec said. "We'll set something up."
"Thanks man." I said. "I know you knew that her not being affiliated might cause some trouble, but I appreciate you doing this for me."
"She means a lot to you." Alec said. "And that means she is one of us and we protect our own." He said and I nodded. I stomped my cigarette out and sighed.
"I better get back. Clary is asleep, and I don't want her waking up and her needing me and me not being there." I said.
"Understandable." He said and I got back on my bike and headed home. Nothing was going to happen to Clary, that was a fact.
Time Jump – Three Weeks Later
Clary POV:
I was closing the shop and Jace was at a meeting. I was extremely exhausted, and I just wanted to be in my bed. I was walking home when I felt a presence behind me. When I turned around I didn't see anything, but that didn't make me feel any better. I continued walking when I felt someone grab my wrist and pull me into a near by ally. I was pinned against the brick wall, and I didn't have a good feeling about this.
"Hey baby, why don't you join the Night Children for a fun little night?" He whispered in my ear as his hand started to move up my body.
"Yea sweetheart, we can show you a better time than The Demon Syndicate." The other one said. I didn't have a voice in me, I was so scared at what might happen. His hands started roaming my body, and I felt like I was going to puke. The one held my wrists against the brick wall, while the others lips were on my neck. I closed my eyes and started crying. I had no idea what was going to happen, but I wasn't prepared. I tried to disappear so that it would end, and suddenly I was no longer restrained. I fell to the ground as my legs turned numb. I looked up and there was a man I've never seen before.
"Thanks." I finally mustered up.
"You're with Jace, that makes you one of us." He said and I nodded. He extended his hand and I took it, knowing that if Jace trusted them, and they were in the brotherhood, they could be trusted. "We'll walk you home, and than you should call Jace. Let him know what happened." He said and I nodded. He walked next to me, and than two other followed. One on each side, and one behind me. The walk to the apartment was silent, but I felt incredibly safe. When we got there, I walked in and they disappeared. I got to the apartment and took a seat on the couch. I took my phone out and dialed Jace's number.
"Hey baby, now isn't really a good time." He said without even answering and that's when everything hit me.
"Jace." I cried out.
"Clary, what's wrong?" He asked sounding more alert and concerned.
"I – need – you." I said between sobs.
"I'll be right there." He said as he hung up. I put my phone down, pulled my knees to my chest and started crying. I was lost in my emotions that I didn't even hear the door open, but I felt Jace's hands on my arms, hands that felt like home, and felt warm. "What happened?" He asked.
"Night – Children." I said and I felt him stiffen.
"What did they do?" He asked in a deadly calm tone. I opened my mouth but just started crying again. He lifted me up and put me on his lap and just let me cry. When I was finally done. I sat up but I didn't get out of his lap. "What did they do baby?" He asked in a different calm voice, but he was still angry, I could tell.
"They dragged me into an ally." I finally said. "The one started feeling me up and telling me that I should join them for a night of fun." I shivered as I remembered. "Another one said that they could give me more than what The Demon Syndicate ever could." I said. "Than he started kissing my neck, and the other one held my wrists against the wall so I couldn't fight."
"I'm going to fucking murder them." Jace said through gritted teeth. He shifted me off his lap and started to get up but I grabbed his hand.
"I know you want to go out there and teach them a lesson or whatever it is that you do, but can you please stay? I need you right now." I pleaded and I could see his eyes go soft.
"Just let me make a quick phone call." He said and I nodded. He left the room but was back in a matter of minutes.
"Who were the three guys who saved me?" I asked as he took a seat next to me.
"That was Alec, Max and Simon." He said. "Alec is my best friend. We kinda went through the process together. His father is actually the pres of the club now. Simon is a guy who came around maybe 8 years ago. Got close to Alec's sister Isabelle, he's a good guy, and when he showed interest in joining, we had no problem bringing him along. And Max is Alec's younger brother. He's only 18, but he's showing a lot of promise."
"I think that's the most you've ever talked about the brotherhood since we started dating." I laughed and he smiled.
"I didn't ever want you to get involved." He said. "But now you are."
"I'm sorry." I said in a small voice.
"You have nothing to apologize for Clary." He said. "If anything, this is my fault. I shouldn't have brought you into this life."
"I would go through Hell for you Jace." I said as he looked at me.
"You don't deserve this." He said.
"But I deserve you. And you deserve me." I said. "I love you Jace. More than I've ever loved anyone in my life. I moved here because I wanted to start a new life after mine was violently ripped away from me. I wanted a fresh start, and I got that with you. I finally have a family again, don't take that away from me."
"I couldn't even if I wanted too." He said. "I'm too selfish to let you go and be with someone else."
"And I don't want to be with anyone else." I said. "Look, I get this life you live is dangerous. I got that the moment you told me that you were in The Demon Syndicate, but I didn't care, and I still don't. I love you. And I want you." I told him. "That's all that matters to me."
"I love you too." He said than he kissed me.
"I need a shower." I finally said. "I need to wash everything off of me, but I want to know who the Night Children are when I'm done." I said.
"I'm not keeping you in the dark any longer." He said and I nodded. I went to the shower and was prepared to wash this evening off of me.
Jace POV:
Once Clary left I called Alec back immediately.
"Tell me you have something." I said.
"We found Meliorn." Alec told me. "He isn't talking though."
"I don't care what you have to do Alec. Make him talk." I said.
"We'll do our best." Alec said.
"And if you find Sebastian, I want to take care of him myself." I said.
"Got it." Alec said.
"Oh, and I plan on tell Clary whatever she wants to know tonight." I said. "I'm not keeping her in the dark any longer after tonight."
"I figured that would happen eventually. It sucks that it took an event like this to make it happen." Alec said.
"Let me know if you get that prick talking." I said.
"Got it." Alec said and we hung up. Perfect timing too because Clary walked out in leggings and one of my shirts. She joined me on the couch and I put my arm around her.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" I asked.
"Who are the Night Children?" She asked.
"The Night Children are our rival gang." I explained. "Some shit went down between my dad and the pres of their club a while back and it's been bad blood ever since."
"Do they do the same things you guys do?" She asked.
"No. They make our club look like saints." I said with a laugh. "The Night Children have been around longer than The Demon Syndicate." I explained. "The guy who started the Night Children had severe insomnia, and he would get his best ideas in the middle of the night. That's when they strike. Hence, the Night Children." I said and she nodded.
"So what they did to me tonight, is that common?" She asked and I nodded.
"They don't really stick to a set of rules." I said. "We have crimes that we commit and then there are crimes that we stay away from at all costs."
"Like what?" She asked.
"Rape is something that nobody in The Demon Syndicate would partake in. If we find out someone sexually assaulted anyone, they would be out faster than you could blink." I said. "We don't deal much in trafficking weapons." I said. "Or anything with smuggling children, or child prostitution."
"And the Night Children do?" She asked.
"They do whatever they want." I said. "Like I said, there is nothing they don't do. If it can make them money, or just get them off in any type of way; sexually, or for their pure sadistic way, they do it."
"So The Demon Syndicate, how many members are there?" She asked.
"In New York, there are about 45 of us." I said. "But we're in about 5 different cities."
"Where else?" She asked.
"We have a branch in LA, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago, and a smaller one in Atlanta." I explained.
"Is this like the main branch though?" She asked.
"Yea, this is where it started." I said and she nodded.
"How many girls are involved in the club?" She asked.
"There are plenty of girls around." I said. "But there are only a couple who are part of the club."
"Who are they?" She asked.
"Izzy, but that's because her family is a huge part of the club. Maryse, who is Robert's old lady, and Emma. The other girls want to apart of the club, but they aren't really club material." I explained.
"And am I?" She asked. "Club material?" I pulled her closer to me and kissed her lips.
"You're way better than club material baby." I said against her lips. "And I still don't know how you're with me."
"It's the gold eyes." She said and I laughed. "And the sexy tattoos." She said as she pushed her hand under my shirt. "A girl can't resist a man with sexy ass tattoos and a body as good as yours." She said and I couldn't help the groan escaped my lips.
"Don't tease me baby." I said and she giggled, and I all but lost it. I picked her up in my arms and her legs wrapped around my waist. I walked us to the bedroom, and laid her on the bed.
"You gonna punish me for teasing you?" She asked and I smirked.
"You're a naughty girl." I said and she smiled at me.
"I have many sides to me Mr. Herondale." She said and I groaned.
"Do I get to see these many sides?" I asked and she bit her lower lip and nodded. I slammed my lips onto hers. Maybe there was more to Clary than the pure angel that I've always known her to be. Maybe she could handle the club life, and that was something that I was excited to explore.
Time Jump – One Week Later
Jace POV:
I was chillin at the club with the brothers, just shooting the shit, but Sebastian was still on the back of my mind. He hasn't been found, but the guys were still looking.
"Yo Jace, when are we going to meet this old lady of yours?" Robert asked me.
"I don't know. I still don't want her seen affiliating with the club after what the Night Children did to her." I told him.
"She's already affiliated." Robert said. "I think it's time to introduce her to the club. Show her that she has a whole brotherhood behind her."
"You mean that?" I asked.
"She's your old lady Jace." Robert said. "She's part of this club now."
"I'll invite her to the bar tonight." I said. "Introduce her to the guys there."
"Sounds good." Robert said. I had to admit, it felt good knowing that they saw Clary as part of the club now. I got up and walked outside to give Clary a call.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hey, so I need you to meet me somewhere." I said.
"Okay, where?" She asked.
"Hunters Moon." I said. "It's a bar."
"I've heard of it, but never been." She said.
"It's one of our businesses." I said. "I want to introduce you to the club."
"Really?" She asked.
"You're part of the club, and they won't get off my ass about you." I said and she laughed.
"Okay. I work until 7, but I'll be there after?" She said.
"Sounds great. Just text me when you're on your way." I said.
"I will. I have to get back to work." She said.
"Okay. Love you baby." I said and she laughed.
"Love you too." She said and we hung up. I was excited to introduce Clary to the club, it'll be amazing to finally be able to mix my two families.
Time Jump – Couple Hours Later
Clary POV:
I texted Jace and said that I was on my way to the Hunters Moon. I was nervous to meet his brotherhood. It was intimidating, but I think that after a year and a half together, I was glad that I was finally going to meet his other family. I walked up to the Hunters Moon and looked at it for a moment, I started a step when I heard the voices.
"I wouldn't go in there sweetheart." One girl said and I turned around.
"Why not?" I asked.
"This bar isn't for your type of people." The other one said.
"And what type of people is this bar for?" I asked.
"If you have to ask, you really don't belong here." She said and I was about to say something, but was cut off.
"Hey baby, you made it." Jace said as he walked over to me and gave me a kiss.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." I said with a smile.
"Maureen, Aline." Jace greeted them as he slung his arm over my shoulder.
"Nice talking to you ladies." I said and their jaws dropped and Jace and I walked away.
"What happened back there?" Jace asked as we walked into the bar.
"They told me that this wasn't my scene." I said and he laughed. The doors opened and I was greeted with nearly 30 members, all in cuts and drinking beer.
"Fellas, I'd like to introduce you to Clary, Clary meet the brotherhood." Jace said.
"Boys." I said and they all looked around before they started laughing.
"Welcome to the brotherhood old lady." The one guy said as he raised his glass.
"Ahhhh!" The rest of them said as they raised their glasses.
"I'm guessing that's a good thing?" I whispered to Jace and he laughed.
"The best greeting you could get." He said and I smiled. "What would you like?" He asked.
"Whatever is on tap." I said as I took a seat.
"What a woman." Someone said and I turned towards the voice. "Robert Lightwood. President of The Demon Syndicate." He reached his hand out and I shook it.
"Clary Fray, his old lady." I said as I pointed over the bar.
"Pleasure to meet you." He said.
"You as well." I said and he smiled.
"You picked a good one kid. Don't fuck it up." Robert said to Jace and he smiled as he handed me my beer.
"I try my best every single day not to fuck it up pres." Jace said.
"He's the perfect gentleman." I told Robert and than I leaned in and so did he. "Accept in the bedroom, but I like it rough." I said and he burst into a fit of laughter. The whole bar went silent as they looked at the two of us.
"Okay, someone got Robert Lightwood to laugh." Someone said and I turned around to see one of the guys who saved me. "Someone get a fucking camera and document this shit." He said and everyone started laughing.
"Already done man." Someone else said and I turned around to see another guy that saved me. "I gotta say pops, I didn't think you had it in you anymore." He said as he sat next to Robert.
"Little Red here is a feisty one." Robert said.
"Little Red huh?" I asked and he turned towards me. Everything got quiet again. Something told me not many people questioned him.
"Yea, being part of this club means getting some type of nickname." Robert said.
"Well, I've been called worse." I said and he cracked another smile.
"You'll fit in just fine here Little Red." Robert said and I raised my glass, and he did the same. I looked at Jace and winked and he smiled and shook his head. I had a good feeling this brotherhood was going to be a huge part of my life now, and that felt really comforting.
Time Jump – Two Hours Later
Clary POV:
"So Robert, you said people have nicknames." I said and he nodded. "What are some other nicknames?" I asked.
"Well, Max here probably has the sweetest." He said as he pinched his cheeks.
"Come on pops, it's an embarrassing nickname." Max said and I smiled.
"I'd like to introduce you to Blueberry." Robert said and I smiled.
"How did you end up with that nickname?" I asked.
"He had the bluest eyes when he was young. Even more blue than Alec's." Robert explained and I nodded. "And Simon over here, well let's just say, he got his nickname when he was a prospect so it isn't really pleasant but it stuck."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Rat Boy." Jace said from behind the counter. "Picked specially, by me." He winked and Simon rolled his eyes.
"Yea yea." Simon said. "Could be worse."
"Any other ones?" I asked.
"Little Red, if I took you through the whole club, we'd be here for hours." He said and I laughed.
"Than just one more." I said and he nodded. "What's Jace's nickname?" I asked and he smiled.
"He has a bunch." Robert said.
"Really?" I asked and he smiled.
"Well, the girls have one for him, and the boys call him some pretty nasty things behind his back, but I have one for him that he's had since he was a youngster." Robert said.
"And that is?" I asked.
"Golden Angel." He said and I looked at Jace. He was down the bar serving some people and I couldn't help but smile.
"It's fitting." I said and Robert nodded in agreement. Jace walked back over and smiled at me.
"You ready to get out of here baby?" He asked.
"I'm ready if you are." I said and he nodded. I got off the stool and looked at Robert. "It was really good to meet you Robert." I said and he smiled.
"You too Little Red, and don't be a stranger. You're always welcome here. With or without Jace." He said and he opened his arms. I walked over and he gave me a hug.
"Thank you Robert." I said and he smiled.
"Jace, you should hook her up with Isabelle. I think they'd get along rather well." He said and Jace nodded.
"That'll be the next mission. You know how Izzy can be." He said and Robert laughed.
"She is my daughter." Robert said. "She's a carbon copy of her mother." He said and Jace smiled.
"See you around pres." Jace said and Robert nodded. He took my hand in his and we walked out of the bar. The girls were still around talking and they glared at me all the way to Jace's bike. I got on the back and Jace kick started it and we were off. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist. This was a new beginning to our relationship and our life together and it was a damn good start.
Time Jump – Six Months Later
Jace POV:
It was a lazy day for me. I didn't have anything planned, and Clary and I were going to stay in bed as long as we possibly could and just enjoy each others company. Clary was currently in the shower and my phone started to blare. I reached over and saw that it was Alec.
"Hello?" I answered.
"We found him." Alec said and I knew what he was talking about immediately.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"You know the old place we go." He said.
"Of course." I said.
"We're there." He said. I hung up and went into the bathroom and I groaned when I saw Clary in the shower. It took everything in me not to join her but I had business to attend too.
"Clary baby." I said.
"Yes?" She answered.
"I have something to do real quick but I'll be back later." I said as she stuck her head out of the shower.
"Today is our lazy day." She said.
"I know baby, and I promise it'll be quick. I just have some club business to deal with." I said.
"You have 2 hours." She said. I walked over and kissed her.
"I'll be back in 2 hours." I said and she smiled. "And you better be naked and waiting for me." I said and she smiled.
"Aren't I always?" She asked and I smirked.
"And I love every minute of it baby." I said as she went back into the shower. I grabbed my cut and headed to my bike. The drive was shorter since I was weaving in and out of traffic. I got there and I saw a couple of the boys standing there. I walked over and Sebastian was on his knees.
"He's all yours." Simon said and I nodded.
I walked over to him grabbed him by the shirt and punched him right in the face. He went down, and I kicked him in the gut.
"You ever go near my old lady again, you're fucking dead." I spat at him. I lifted him up again and punched him another time. "You so much as think of her, or if one of my guys catches you within 100 feet of her, you're dead." I said. I looked back at Simon. "Knife." I said and he handed it to me. I grabbed his wrist and cut in a single line. He screamed but bit it back. "You're going to get the fuck out of this city and never return." I punched him once more for good measure. I walked away and got on my bike to head back to my girl.
When I walked in to the apartment I didn't see her anywhere. I got to the bedroom, and I think I nearly had a heart attack.
"Holy fuck." I said and she smirked. A habit she picked up from me.
"You like?" She asked and I honestly couldn't form any words. "Wow, speechless. That's a new one."
"Where did you find that?" I asked as I grabbed old cut of mine.
"We share a closet baby." She said as she made her way over to me. "I knew you got a new one when you made VP." She said as she snaked her arms around neck. "You sounded stressed when you were leaving, and I thought this would be a good stress reliever."
"Oh baby you have no idea." I said and she smiled.
"Than what are you waiting for?" She smirked and she didn't have to tell me twice. I pulled her into my arms and slammed my lips to hers.
Time Jump – One Year Later
Jace POV:
I was nervous as hell for today because I was going to ask Clary to marry me. We've been together for 3 years now, and it was time to make that official. It was going to be weird to be married, but I was ready for it. There was nobody else I wanted more than Clary, and it still surprised me to this day that she chose me, even after she learned about my world. She had a lot of different sides to her. She could hang with the club, be a real sexy lady in the bedroom, and one of the kindest most selfless people I've ever met. She was perfect, and all mine.
"There is only one thing to say now." Robert said in our meeting. "Here's to Jace. May you and Little Red have an amazing life together." He said and I nodded.
"Means a lot to have the support of the brotherhood." I said.
"She's a great addition to this family." Robert said. "She fits in seamlessly, and that was something I never expected."
"You and me both, but I love her. More than anything." I said and he smiled.
"There will be a huge party back here tonight." Robert said. "Demon Syndicate style." He said and the boys went crazy.
"Well, I'm going to go propose. Let's hope she says yes." I said and they all laughed.
I went back to the house to pick up Clary. Izzy kicked me out so that she could get Clary ready. I knocked on the door, which was ridiculous because it was my place, but I waited for Izzy to open it. She had the biggest smile on her face.
"She looks perfect!" She said.
"She always does." I said and Izzy continued to smile.
"Well, I'll see you at the bar later." She said as she walked out. I walked in and there stood Clary, and she looked stunning.
"Shit." I said and she laughed.
"You like?" She asked.
"You need to stop asking me that question. I always love." I said as I pulled her into me. "Give me 3 minutes, and I'll be ready." I said and she nodded.
I ran into our room and got dressed. Since I knew Izzy was kicking me out for the day, I got my outfit together the night before and put it all together. I got dressed, looked in the mirror and I looked pretty well put together. I walked back in to the living room and Clary smiled at me.
"Damn you look good." She said and I smirked.
"Don't I always?" I asked and she laughed.
"You do." She said and I took her hand.
We made it to the restaurant where we had our first date. I was feeling nostalgic tonight, and I thought it was perfect. We were seated at our same table and Clary looked like she was remembering.
"You got us the same table and everything." She said and I smiled.
"It's a special night." I said and she looked at me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the ring and her hands flew over her mouth. "I honestly wanted to do this last year, but I never felt like it was right." I said. "But nothing has ever felt more right. This is the Herondale ring." I said as she looked at it. "It's a tradition in our family to pass it down. I want you to wear it. I want you to be mine forever Clary."
"I thought I already was." She said and I laughed. "I mean, everyone in the club knows me as your old lady."
"But I want you to be Mrs. Herondale." I said. "I want you to wear my ring, and I want to wear a ring to show every god damn girl in this city that I'm taken to the most beautiful and badass girl New York City has."
"Yes." She said and I slid the ring on her finger. I slammed my lips to her and I felt good to know she was mine. Forever.
Time Jump – One Hour Later
Clary POV:
After dinner Jace said there was going to be a party at the bar. We walked hand in hand into the Hunters Moon. The minute we walked in, all eyes were on us. I looked at Jace and he looked at me before we turned towards the boys. I held up my left hand and the whole place to went crazy.
"Welcome to The Demon Syndicate Little Red!" Robert shouted and I couldn't help but laugh. "I think it's time we get her a cut." He said. "What do you boys think?" He asked the club. They all raised their glasses, which was their sign of approval.
"You're serious?" I asked and he smiled.
"I wouldn't joke about a cut." He said. "You're one of us. You are Jace's old lady, it's time you started representing yourself as one." He said. "So, what do you say?"
"Hell yea." I said and he smiled. He handed Jace and I both a beer and we toasted to the future, cause damn was it bright.
Time Jump – Three Years Later
Jace POV:
Clary and I have been married for three years and damn has it been a great three years. Everything was the same for the most part, accept now she introduces herself as Mrs. Herondale, and I think she gets so much satisfaction at seeing other peoples reactions. She gets killer respect from the boys and our ally gangs. She may not look like she belongs in the club life, but hell she fits in perfectly.
The club life was amazing. I honestly couldn't complain about anything. We were thriving, Clary and I's relationship was thriving, and I was a father. Something I never thought would happen. Lincoln was born 2 years ago, and man was he the best thing that's ever happened to Clary and I. He was perfect, and such a positive thing. I walked into the bar and started working like I always do. I love my life, and I couldn't wait to continue living it.
Clary POV:
Lincoln and I were heading to the bar to meet Jace. We spent the morning with Izzy and Celine and it was a really great day. When Lincoln was born Celine reemerged from her solitude life. Jace told me that after Stephan was killed, she kinda checked out, and I couldn't blame her. I would probably do the same if it were Jace. But now that she has a grandchild, Jace wants her to be apart of her life, and I do too since she's the only grandparent he has left and I wanted him to know her.
I was holding tightly to Lincoln's hand as we walked down the New York sidewalk. I knew Jace always had two guys in close proximity to me at all times, and when he first brought up the idea, I was pretty hesitant, but when Lincoln came into the picture, I was all for it. Nothing was going to happen to him, I was sure of that. I opened the door to the Hunters Moon and Lincoln went running.
"Dada!" He said as he ran the best he could to him. Jace bent down and scooped him up into his arms.
"Hey little man. You have a good day with mommy, Aunt Iz, and Grandma?" He asked and Lincoln smiled and nodded enthusiastically. "Good." I walked over to him and he pulled me into him. "Hey baby." He said as he pressed his lips to mine.
"Hey." I said and he smiled.
"You have a good day?" He asked.
"I always have a good day." I said. "How can I not with the life we have?" I asked and he looked at Lincoln and than back at me.
"You are so right." He said and I leaned into him. Lincoln laid his head on Jace's shoulder, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Little Linc!" Robert yelled from across the bar and Lincoln's headshot up! "Who is your favorite?" He asked and I couldn't help but laugh. Ever since Lincoln started talking he's been asking him the same question hoping for a different answer.
"Dada!" Lincoln shouted and he hugged Jace tightly.
"You'll never win old man." Jace said and Robert rolled his eyes and flipped him off.
The greatest thing I've ever done was joining The Demon Syndicate. I knew that they would never let me down, and I knew they would never let anything happen to my family.
"Yo, we got a new prospect." I heard and when I turned around there stood Simon with a young boy.
"What's your name man?" Jace asked and the kid looked at him with a cocky smirk, one I knew wouldn't last long in this brotherhood.
"Mark. Mark Blackthorn." The kids said. The boys looked around at each other before Jace looked back at Mark.
"Come on faerie, grab a cold one." Jace said and the boy looked confused.
"Faerie?" He questioned.
"Don't question it, just go with it." Simon said and the whole bar laughed.
"Faerie." I said to Jace. "Fitting."
Authors Note:
So, someone requested a one shot about Jace being in a biker gang, and this came to me last night, and I just ran with it! I hope that whoever requested it loves it because I really enjoy this story! Now, I am updating this at a very late hour for myself because it's crunch week for me, and this is the last one shot I am going to be updating for at least a week, maybe longer! I'm drowning in school work, so I really need to focus. But I really wanted to give you something so I didn't leave you all high and dry! Thank you for being so understanding, and I hope you enjoy! :)
