So, ...

It has been a long time since I last wrote something and I have to admit, I have forgotten about it a little bit...but Im back ? Kinda I mean? Anyway, I have a couple of chapters which I have posted on AO3 so i will post them here as well and we will see what happens next.

So please dont be alarmed as this is happening around Christmas...Also, its about two years old?...Almost I would say so...sorry?

Slowly blinking his eyes open, Alec squintedagainst the too brightmorning for a winter. Sitting up, his warm fluffy blanket slipped down his arms and stopped at his waist. He stretched his arms up, moaning softly when his bones cracked. Rubbing his eyes, Alec bit back a yawn. He kind of hated, but still loved days like these, winter ones, because he wanted to spend them all wrapped up in his blanket and sipping some hot chocolate.

Pulling his blanket completely away, he touched the cold floor with his bare feet, shivering at the feeling. Breathing out, he stood up and moved to his bathroom, determined to take a warm shower and to forget about the cold. Yeah, that was the thing he hated, the cold. He didn't know if it was his omega side saying this or his own senses, but since he was small he always tried staying warm no matter where or how.

He remembers one year, when he was maybe five years old, when he and his mom were at a meeting in Idris and he was so cold that he hid under his mom's skirt. Yeah ... His only luck was that they were meeting with their friends and instead of being disgusted they started to laugh, and his mom put him on her knees and, pressing a kiss against the side of his head, tightly wrapped him into a blanket.

Shutting the water down, he stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist, forgetting his hair, and walked to his wardrobe. Opening the closet, Alec's eyes fell on the mirror Izzy insisted he had there. More precisely, on his chest. Frowning, he traced the muscles there, his hand starting to shake. Omegas shouldn't have so much muscle. They should be soft and gentle.

Not have a hard chest and semi abs. Alec stopped himself. Magnus told him that he shouldn't think bad about himself, that he was, here he blushed at his own thoughts, pretty. Taking one of his older sweaters and long sleeved shirt, Alec covered himself. And Magnus had a way better chest, and whole body, than Alec anyway. He blushed, not that he saw it or anything. Rubbing his hair with the slightly damp towel, Alec sat back on his bed before freezing.

He didn't make his bed before taking the shower. So why was his blanket perfectly folded at the end of his bed and his pillows placed neatly next to each other at head? Jumping up, Alec looked around himself. How come he didn't feel or even smell anyone there?

Scanning his room for any foreign presence, Alec's breath stopped and then he smiled when his gaze fell on the reddest rose he ever saw. Walking closer, he gently picked the rose up and brought it up to his nose, taking a deep breath. His senses were overwhelmed by the sweetest scent you could imagine.

When he took a closer look at the rose, he found out that in the center of the flower, a blood red ruby sat. And the petals were dipped in tiny white diamonds, so tiny that they almost seemed invisible, only once Alec touched the petal did he know something extra was there. All in all, it was the most beautiful rose he ever saw and Alec was completely sure that it was from Magnus.

Carefully putting the rose on his bed, Alec noticed another thing laying on the same place as the rose. It was a note and by the elegant writing on it, it was from Magnus. Sitting next to the rose, Alec started reading, a smile breaking out on his face without him noticing.

"Dear Alexander,

Good morning Darling! I hope you slept well. I would like to invite you to my humble abode for dinner tonight. I know that today is Christmas Eve, so I took the liberty to invite your family and friends, too. I hope you don't mind ;).

I'm looking forward to seeing you (come whenever you want),

Magnus :)"

Smiling in amusement, Alec looked back at the rose. He didn't know why, but it reminded him of Magnus. Maybe it was because of it's uniqueness or the deep beauty Alec could feel from the flower. It really was just like Magnus. When he was with him, Alec always felt lucky.

Lucky, that he can be in the presence of such an individual like Magnus. That someone so handsome and important even has the time for someone like Alec. He knew that Magnus could have anyone, either omegas or betas, even some alphas, but he chose him. An omega no one before him wanted, an omega who was as different from the perfect omega as he could be. Alec was really thankful to Magnus.

He showed him that even he can be loved, that he wasn't as useless as he thought he was. And, and - and he loved him for that. Blushing slightly, Alec stood up, carefully placing the rose on his bedside table and picking up the present he got for Magnus. Grabbing his leather jacket he walked out of his room.

Walking through the Institute, Alec ignored the stares he got, used to it from his childhood, more focused on getting outside and to Magnus.

Isabelle's POV:

Isabelle's morning was, so far, good. Nothing bad happened and Magnus invited her, along with her whole family, for dinner. She was really looking forward to it. A chance to see her brother being all happy and lovely dovey with his Alpha? She was in. Whenever and wherever.

So when she saw Alec almost running through the Institute, the present she helped him pick out and knew was for Magnus in hand, she had to bite back a laugh. Raj, who was standing next to her, looked at her weirdly when she squealed but she ignored him. She would make damn sure her brother is happy and no one will stop her. Not even that idiot Valentine.

Magnus's loft:

Shaking off the snow in his hair, it started snowing in the middle of his way to Magnus', Alec knocked and waited. His hands, nose and ears were a little too cold for his taste but the thought that Magnus was just behind these doors made him warm, no matter how cheesy it sounded. Breaking from his thoughts when the door opened, Alec smiled when he saw his alpha.

Magnus didn't disappoint. He was wearing black jeans and warm looking black fluffy socks that Alec wanted for himself. And, of course, one of these ugly Christmas sweaters that looked great on him. It was bright red with a brown reindeer which nose was twinkling? Wow.

"Alexander darling, I was just thinking you didn't want to see me." Magnus playfully whined and Alec chuckled, because he doesn't giggle no matter what Izzy says. Stepping inside and closing the door, Alec made to hug the alpha but was stopped by Magnus's hand on his chest.

Confused, and a little hurt, Alec looked at Magnus. "Look what do we have here." he said in an over dramatic voice and pointed up. Following his finger up, Alec saw that he was standing right under a mistletoe. Blushing bright red, Alec looked back at Magnus who was smirking. Clenching his hands in his sweater, Alec moved forward, pressing a shy kiss on Magnus' cheek.

Magnus's POV:

Opening the door, Magnus was once again blinded by the sheer beauty that was his omega. Black hair, darker than night, was ruffled and covered in snow. Hazel colored eyes, Magnus could never decide which color they were, were wide and bright with excitement. The lithe body covered by a black and fluffy looking sweater that just screamed Alec. Just perfect.

"Alexander darling, I was just thinking that you didn't want to see me." Magnus couldn't help but tease and was rewarded by with a chuckle and inwardly patted himself. Alexander's laugh was perfect, like everything about him, and every time Magnus managed to make him laugh, or see that he was beautiful and not some useless omega that no one wants, he counts it as his victory.

Seeing that Alec was making a move to hug him, Magnus stopped him, almost cooing at the completely confused face the omega made. He pointed upwards and with an innocent voice said,"Look what do we have here."

The omega flushed slightly and Magnus thought that he won't do anything, so he was surprised when Alexander moved forward and kissed him on the cheek. Blinking, Magnus touched the same place, slightly dazed. How can someone who has seen so much bad be so innocent? Breaking from his thoughts, Magnus looked at the shy omega before him and his eyes darkened. Alec was nervously wringing his hands in his black sweater, shyly looking down at his toes which were curling and uncurling from nervousness.

Rolling his shoulders, Magnus felt his hidden wings twitch. Hands clenching by his side, Magnus growled deep in his chest. Alec looked up upon hearing the growl and his eyes widened when he saw how dark Magnus's eyes were. "Mag-hmm..." Alec wanted to find out what was wrong but was interrupted by Magnus who moved forward, crowding the omega against door and pressing his lips against Alec's.

Slipping his tongue inside the omega's mouth, Magnus placed his hands next to Alec's head, leaning closer to the younger's body. Alec didn't know what to do with his hands, finally he placed them shyly around Magnus's neck, burying his fingers into the small hairs there. Alec couldn't help but let out a soft moan, the way Magnus' tongue was moving had to be unreal. He still wasn't as good as Magnus so the only thing he could do was try to match everything Magnus was doing.

But by the way the alpha was letting out small pleasant rumbles, so quite that Alec almost couldn't hear them, he was doing good. Clenching his fingers around the small hairs on Magnus's neck, Alec was starting to have a problem with getting enough air but he didn't want to end the kiss. Magnus had to feel the same thing, because he slowly moved away so their noses were touching and they were breathing the same air.

Alec looked into Magnus' yellow cat eyes, the glamor must have slipped, and breathed a small 'Hi'. The alpha smiled back at him, his eyes roaming all along the omega's body, momentarily stopping at the snow soaked jeans and leather jacket. "Hello"

Sometime later, Magnus's loft, 3 p.m.:

Sitting down, Alec stretched his stiff back. Standing for two hours straight in the kitchen and cooking wasn't as fun as it sounds. Even though he was with Magnus and he had a lot of fun, more than when he cooked with Izzy for sure. But it was nice to finally sit down. After their, ehem, enthusiastic welcome, Magnus asked Alec if he wanted to help him with the dinner he promised in his note.

Alec, of course, agreed and that was what they were doing for the last two hours. But it was definitely worth it. The food looks amazing and Alec couldn't wait to taste it. They still had to wait at least three hours until the others arrive and the Christmas dinner can start. He looked up when Magnus sat next to him, handing him a cup of warm tea. Looking at Magnus, Alec noticed that he had some white streaks in his hair that weren't there before.

He could feel the corners of his mouth twitching, but when Magnus looked at him confused, he couldn't help it any longer. He burst into a giggling fit, tears making their way into his eyes. Magnus just looked so cute, sitting there with flour in his hair and looking all confused. Finally managing to, somehow, get his giggles under control, Alec reached forward and with gentle strokes started to finger comb the flour out.

When he was done, at least somehow, Alec burried his fingers into the soft locks of Magnus' hair, slowly running his fingers through it, enjoying the feel of the so soft locks. He knew how Magnus took care of his hair, his whole everything really, and was surprised that he let him play with it, even learning closer and letting out these cute little purrs.

Taking his hand away, even tough he didn't want to, Alec sat back, leaning against the back of Magnus' leather sofa, tucking his legs under himself. Not meeting Magnus' eyes, he sipped his tea, eyes locked onto the beautiful winterday outside. The snow started falling in a more steady pace, covering everything it could in a fluffy blanket. Alec always loved the feel of fresh snow under his feet, the 'crack' sound it made. Somehow, it reminded him of his childhood.

"How about a walk?" Magnus' soft voice broke Alec from his thoughts. Blinking, he realized that it was a lot darker outside, just how long was he lost in his thoughts? Shaking his head, Alec looked at Magnus. He saw himlooking at him with soft eyes, hands elegantly folded in his lap, and left foot tapping some kind of rhythm only Magnus knows.

"A walk? I-yes, that would be nice." Alec said gently, a shy look in his eyes. It sounded almost like a date. Or something you would do with your ...partner. Like something he definitely wanted to do with the alpha sitting next to him.

Standing up, Alec moved to take his leather jacket but was stopped by Magnus, who took the jacket from him and placed it across the back of his sofa. Confused, Alec looked at him, didn't he want to go for a walk? Then his eyes widened when Magnus pulled, practically from nowhere, a big box wrapped in gaudy Christmas wrapping paper.

Still confused, the omega took the box, sat down and stared at it. "So, aren't you going to take a look at what I gave you?" looking at Magnus, Alec hesitantly started unwrapping the paper, careful, so he wouldn't tear the funny looking paper. He could feel Magnus vibrating next to him and suppressed a laugh, the alpha was just so cute sometime.

Finally, all the paper was gone and Alec found himself looking at a big box with the logo of one of these super expensive brands that Izzy always sings about. Eyes wide, the Shadowhunter opened the lid and gasped. Inside the box was a black coat with the biggest hood he ever saw.

The newest trend for omegas were big hoods, it didn't matter if they were male of female. And Alec wouldn't tell anyone but he secretly looked at these coats, just like that one Magnus brought for him, when Izzy left her magazine in his room one time. It just looked so soft and comfortable and what was more important, it looked warm like hell.

Letting the lid fall to the ground, Alec hesitantly picked the coat up and almost melted. It was even softer than he thought it would be. Standing up, he tried it on and only just resisted to burrow his nose into the soft material. The coat fit him like a glove, tight in the right places and it was warm all over. As if it was made just for him.

Looking at Magnus, Alec smiled. "Do you like it?" nodding, Alec bounded, literally bounded, to his alpha, sat himself in his lap, and pressed his lips against Magnus' before burrowing himself in the alpha's chest. "Thank you so much. I've never got a present from someone other than my family." Magnus heard him whisper against his collarbone and inwardly cursed everyone who ever hurt Alec verbally or physically.

It didn't matter to him. He will hurt anyone who dares to say something to his Alexander.

Central Park, NY city:

Huddling himself closer to Magnus' side, Alec looked around the December Central Park. It was beautiful. The way snow was still falling all around, covering everything in a thick white blanket. They were all alone outside, everyone else at home, getting ready for Christmas. But they are already done, a big Christmas tree waiting fully decorated with many shiny boxes under it. A warm dinner, kept warm and fresh by Magnus' spells, done too.

Alec's eyes brightened with laughter when he remembered how at awe Magnus was when he found out that Alec knew how to cook. And after all the kisses he got while they were working Alec couldn't complain. He was brought back to reality when Magnus squeezed the hand he was holding in his. The moment they stepped outside, Alec clothed in his new coat, Magnus grabbed his hand and stuffed both his and Alec's hand into the pocket of his coat.

Turning his head slightly, glancing at the alpha next to him from under the hood of his coat, Alec blinked at him questioningly. But Magnus just smiled and continued walking, eyes set on the sight before him. Confused, Alec, too, continued walking, slightly behind Magnus and looking around himself. He couldn't help himself, it was just so magical.

Alec, again, broke from his thoughts when he felt Magnus tugging him in a different direction, this time, Magnus choose to walk through the snow and right to the biggest tree in the park. Not having much choice, Alec followed, squealing slightly when he felt a little bit of snow in his boot. Blushing bright when he heard Magnus chuckle, the omega looked down and just followed his alpha.

He was using Magnus' footsteps as his newly made path and Alec couldn't help but inwardly coo at how small his feet were compare to Magnus'. It was just another thing that made him see that he wasn't as big as he though. And even if he was, Magnus was just bigger and that was all that mattered.

He didn't feel when Magnus let go of his hand, only once he felt big hands on his shoulders and he ended up with his face in Magnus' chest. Looking up and blinking, Alec made a confused sound. Magnus just smirked and pointed upward. Following his finger, the omega blushed when he saw, that high in the tree crown, a mistletoe nested.

Looking back at the still smirking alpha, Alec lifted a brow. Magnus just smugly smirked and wiggled his own eyebrows. Rolling his eyes, Alec, with a soft blush on his cheeks, leaned forward and, his hands wrapping around the warlock's shoulders, pressed his lips against the older man's. Magnus wrapped his arms round the omega's waist, pulling him closer, and probed the soft lips with his tongue, smiling into the kiss when Alexander let him in.

Clenching his fingers into the thick material of Magnus' coat when he felt the alpha's tongue against his, Alec's moan was muffled. Magnus may have kissed him many times already, but he won't get used to it. It was always like the first time. Bumping his nose against the taller man's, Alec pressed himself even closer, moving his hands into Magnus' locks.

He just loved the feeling of them between his fingers and by the groan he heard, Magnus liked it too. Breaking the kiss, Alec took a deep breath, before moving back, wanting to feel more of Magnus. This time, it was Alec who deepened the kiss. He licked Magnus' lips and when he was allowed, his tongue slipping inside and immediately his tongue pushed against Magnus'.

This time when they broke apart, Alec took a tiny step back, leaving a little bit space between them. His breath was shaky and uneven, his hands shaking like every time he and Magnus kiss.

"I think I love you." whispered the omega with a blush, while all the time looking down. His smile softening, Magnus leaned forward, pressing his forehead against Alexander's making him look up. "I love you too." the alpha whispered back, smiling back when the omega broke into the brightest smile he ever saw.

Magnus's loft, time for the dinner:

After, their quite beautiful walk they decided to return, it was almost time for their Christmas dinner anyway. And by the time they returned, they saw Izzy waiting before the door to Magnus' loft, smiling at them and her eyes twinkling. After hugging Magnus, her eyes fell on Alec and the high pitched squeal she emitted almost made him deaf.

Taking a step back, he looked at Magnus when Isabelle started running, running for Christ sake on thick ice in heels (!), towards him and he was really scared for his life. "Oh, Alec look at it. It's all new and so fashionable this year. And you look so good in it! Let me see you, turn around."

Gulping, Alec did what she wanted, pouting when Magnus just chuckled. Some alpha he was, leaving him here to her mercy. Once Izzy was happy, she finally let him get inside to warm up and to Magnus who, bless him, was waiting for them with hot chocolate. Kissing him on the cheek in thanks, Alec, his coat off, sat on the sofa and took a big sip. The moment his coat was off it was in Isabelle's hands and she cooed, talking with Magnus about the great idea of making something like this for omegas.

Closing his eyes and leaning against the back of the sofa he was sitting on, Alec let the pleasant conversation wash over him, hearing something about him and always being cold but he didn't bother opening his eyes, happy with letting them talk if they let him relax a bit. He must have fallen asleep, because the next time he opened his eyes he saw Simon and Raphael there, the omega talking with Isabelle and the two other alphas talking about something in hushed tones.

The omega looked up when he heard the door bell, waving at Magnus that he got it. Opening the door, he was attacked by his younger brother Max. Curling his arms around him, already strong in body, he was sure Max will be an alpha, he smiled. Looking up, he saw his mom, Jace and Clary and behind them Luke was standing with...with some woman he didn't know.

Letting them inside, Alec motioned for them to leave their coats by the door and pointed to the living room where the others were waiting. With Max now in his arms, Alec followed behind his? Guests, could he say that? They were Magnus' guests but he and Magnus were...together, so technically they were his guests too, right?

When he walked into the living room, he felt that the atmosphere there was tight. So setting Max next to his mom, he nervously shuffled to stand next to Magnus, who stood before Luke and that mysterious woman, and leaned against his alpha's side. He felt Magnus wrap his arm around his waist, still not breaking his stare down with Luke. No. With that woman.

Now that he stood so close, he could feel that she was an alpha. And a werewolf? Wow, they were rare. But why was she with Luke then? Looking up through his lashes, Alec saw when the woman's eyes flicked in his direction before back to Magnus. Bristling, Alec wanted to glare.

Who does she think she is? Dismissing his alpha like that. He calmed down when he felt Magnus squeeze his waist. "Shall I go for some drinks?" he asked softly and when Magnus nodded, he walked to the kitchen. The moment his back was turned to the living room, the shouts started. Turning around, ready to see what was wrong, Alec was stopped when the door opened again, he got a glimpse of Magnus glaring at someone, and Simon and Max walked in.

"Mom said to wait here with you." his brother said and Alec nodded. Sitting him down, he reached for one of the many plates they had ready, this one full of sweets, and when Max was busy eating he turned to Simon and lifted eyebrow. Sighting, Simon walked to stand near the window in the room.

"I don't really know what's wrong, but before Raphael send me away, I heard them shouting something about that woman, Maia I think? Magnus wasn't happy that Luke let some stranger inside when you were here. And your family too." blushing and smiling at Simon's words, Alec frowned. Just who was that woman.

All three of them looked up when the door opened again and Clary waved them back. Taking the before prepared drinks, Alec walked back and sat down next to the slightly fuming Magnus. Wrapping his hand around Magnus' and leaning into his side, Alec glanced around himself. Jace, Isabelle, Clary, his mom and Max were huddled on one sofa, Luke and that woman, Maia?, were on another and he and Magnus were in their favorite loveseat.

"Alexander." looking up at Magnus, he was a little bit startled to find his face serious. "This is Maia. She is Luke's friend and she didn't have any place to spend Christmas at. I hope you don't mind she is here?" Magnus told him slowly, as if he alone didn't believe it. The omega looked first at Maia and when he found her face neutral he looked at Luke.

The man was looking at him pleadingly and Alec couldn't do anything else than nod. He was alright with it, as long as she won't hurt his family. After saying it out loud he was revarded by Luke's grin and Magnus's hand pulling him closer along with a kiss pressed against his hair.

Magnus's loft, after the dinner:

His tummy full, Alec leaned against Magnus' chest, smiling at something Izzy said. He saw his mom sitting with Simon, Raphael, Luke and even Maia, and she was showing them their baby pictures. From where did she even pull them out? He was just happy that Magnus didn't see them. Even though he had this feeling that he already saw them.

Cuddling closer to the warmth that was his alpha, Alec leaned against Magnus' shoulder. It was a really good evening and they didn't even unwrap their gifts yet. He really hoped that Magnus will like his gift to him. As well as Izzy, she was really difficult in this. Looking at Magnus when the alpha kissed his cheek, Alec got another quick kiss before Magnus stood up. "Now, how about gifts?"

The first there was, of course, Max. Already sitting before the tree, ready to sort the presents. Once all were in their places, Alec almost in Magnus' lap, Max quickly sorted them, eager to start unwrapping. Alec didn't watch what the others reactions were, his only focus was Magnus, who, most likely on purpose, left Alec's present as the last one and really took his time with the others.

The omega saw as his alpha got some old books -from his mom, a long list of questions – from Max, some more old books and a picture, that one was really beautiful – from Jace and Clary. Designer clothing – from, of course, Izzy and from Luke and Maia – something in little bottles and Alec won't ask. Yeah, it will be better that way.

And finally, it was his turn. The Shadowhunter completely ignored his own presents, eyes set on Magnus' perfect hands as they unwrapped his gifts, agonizingly slow. Finally, finally it was here. The box itself was quite small but, and Alec himself didn't know how, there was a lot in there. The main thing wrapped sound and safe in the middle of that all.

The first thing there, was a small leather bound book Alec found when he was on a mission. He didn't understand much but it was something about demons and warlocks and it was old as shit. The second thing was a scarf. More specifically, one of Alec's old scarfs. It smelled like him and Alec really wanted Magnus to have something from him with him when the omega couldn't be with the alpha.

And the last thing, and the most important, was an old watch. It was covered in gold and on the lid was crafted 'To my dear Alexander, I hope they will serve you as well as they served to me'. When Magnus clicked the button on top, they opened and revealed intricately carved interior. It was made so you could see the inside mechanism of the watch and the dial was made with Roman numerals.

Alec heard his mom gasp, but his only focus was on Magnus. The alpha's face was neutral and Alec was starting to be scared. Wriggling his hands, Alec was ready to ask when Magnus gently put the watch down and pulled him into a fierce embrace. Wrapping his arms around Magnus' middle, Alec nuzzled against the side of Magnus' head, kissing the same place after.

"Do you like it?" he whispered, completely forgetting about the other people in the room with them. He felt Magnus nod and smiled, squeezing even tighter. When they broke apart, the alpha had a smile on his face and he picked the watch back up, inspecting it. It was my grandpa's. He was an omega too and he gaveit and said that I should give it to someone I want to be with for a long time." Alec shyly whispered, so only Magnus would hear even though there were people with enchanted hearing in the room.

The blinding smile he got was enough to make him cry from happiness. He was so glad that Magnus didn't give it back to him, that he wants it. It meant a lot to him.

Magnus' loft, when everyone left:

"Here, I want to give you this. I know it's soon but I really want you to have it." Magnus said and picked up a small box wrapped in shiny gold paper. Alec carefully took it in his hands and took a look at it first. It was, maybe as big as his hand, maybe a little bit bigger, and pretty light. Looking at Magnus, Alec was surprised to find that the alpha was nervous. He never saw him nervous before.

Now he was nervous, too. His hands were shaking a bit, as Alec started to slowly unwrap the box. Once the paper was off, Alec was looking at an old box covered in black satin or something. Anyway, it looked really old. Opening the lid, Alec's breath stopped when he finally saw what was inside.

In the box, carefully wrapped in the same satin, the same color as the box, sat a thick leather bracelet. The leather was dark brown and in the middle, all around, there were these zigzaged details. When Alec picked it up, he found out that the inside, the part which is in contact with the skin, was covered with something so soft that Alec wanted to wrap himself in it.

Blinking back tears, Alec looked up at Magnus. The alpha was smiling softly, his eyes only for the omega in front of him. Hands shaking, Alec looked back at the - bonding collar - leather bracelet in his hands, feeling some of the tears escaping. He always dreamed that someday he would hold something like this, but he never thought that it would be more than a dream.

Gulping, Alec had to ask, he had to know if it was what he thought it was. "Is...Is this a ...a..." he just couldn't say it. He was too afraid that it wasn't what he wanted it to be. Magnus smiled, showing his perfect teeth, and moved the small space that was between them, now sitting so their legs were touching. Magnus reached and wrapped his hands around Alec's which were still holding onto the bracelet.

"Yes, it's a bonding collar. I know that we haven't been together for long but I really want you to have it. I want everyone to know that you are mine that they can't have you. It doesn't have to mean, if you accept, that we will bond. We can take our time." Magnus started, all serious and Alec could see that he really wanted everyone to know that he wasn't alone anymore. Blushing, Alec listened further, his inside clenching when he heard the sincerity in Magnus' voice.

He looked back at the collar, bonding collar, he was holding in his hands. The bracelet looked old, maybe as old as Magnus, but Alec couldn't be sure. Still it must be very important to the alpha and the more he was staring at it the stronger his feeling of wanting it got. Wanting to have it around his wrist, to have people around him know that he wasn't some no good, useless omega. That even he was wanted by someone.

Taking a deep breath, Alec looked at Magnus, right into his eyes, and nodded. The bright smile that appeared on Magnus's face was the most beautiful thing Alec has ever seen. Magnus reached out and gently took the bracelet from the Shadowhunter's own hands. Taking Alec's left hand, Magnus fastened the bracelet so it was a tight fit against Alec's pale skin, but not to tight. He didn't want to hurt the omega.

Once done, Magnus lifter the hand up to his face and kissed the middle of the bracelet. Blushing furiously, Alec shyly looked away. He could feel Magnus' magic flowing through the bracelet and it warmed his heart knowing, that the alpha will be with him even when Magnus won't be there in person. Looking through his lashes, Alec, quite boldly, moved and sat himself in Magnus' lap, burying his head into the strong chest of his alpha, his new bonding bracelet a warm and strong feeling on his arm. Breathing Magnus' unique scent, Alec closed his eyes, smiling when he felt Magnus' arms wrap around him.

He sighted. Yeah, this felt good. He could get used to having an alpha around, someone who took care of him, who didn't want to change anything about him. Magnus tightened his embrace around him, nuzzling against the crown of his head. Yeah, he definitely could.

To be continued

So here it is. Hope you like it and I wish you happy Holidays, a lot of gifts and happy memories with your family, because and trust me, I know what I'm talking about, you can never know which are your last ones.

Please leave a comment and Kudos!

THANK YOU for your support! I love you guys!
