Dot walked in with Robert. She looked guilty as if she had done something really terrible.
I didn't want to look at Robert. I hated that man. He was a tyrant, walked like he owned the place, which ofcourse, he did. The Lightwoods owned almost half of the city, the other owned by Bane Enterprises. It was odd how we were connected in so many different ways. We were business partners. That's how I got to know Isabelle and Jace but we were a lot more than that. I was a vampire and he was a hunter. Rivals in the supernatural world. Never to be on the same side. And that was exactly what Alec was going to be. A formidable foe.
"Magnus, love are you okay?" Dot said, as she approached me. Always gentle, she stroked my hair. Alec and I were still holding hands and I felt his grip grow tighter, so tight that it started to hurt but as I looked at him and saw the despair in his eyes I felt more pain in my heart. He looked so lost and I caught a hint of jealousy in his eyes too. Jealousy? Because of Dot?
Doesn't matter. As soon the hunter in him starts to take over, he too will begin to see me as a monster.
"I am fine, thank you Dorothia." I replied softly as I pulled my hand away from Alec and placed a small kiss on her forehead.

I felt betrayed. Robert hadn't said anything from the moment he entered with Dot. It felt like someone was sucking out my soul. Everything was a blur, I had no clue why the only person Magnus did not remember was me. The way she touched him made me feel like someone was stabbing me over and over again. That's it. I'm going to tell him. The moment I was about to speak, I heard my dad.
"Alec, I think we should leave. I'm sure needs to rest."
"No, what I think is that needs to hear the truth."
Dot looked panicked. She was about to say something but Magnus stopped her, encouraging me to speak. So I obliged.
"This whole situation is nothing less than bewildering. I don't know how to explain myself to you. The photos I showed you just now were of us in our apartment and the reason we were together in that picture is that before the accident took place..."
"Alec." I heard my dad call out my name.
"WHAT?" I spat.
"We need to leave."
"WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING LIKE THIS?!"
"I will explain everything later but son we should leave."
I didn't get it. I was getting angrier. And then I felt the lights flicker. It was almost midnight. My dad took my hand and just then Jace came inside. Dad asked him to leave but he came closer. My eyes were burning. I heard Robert, "JACE. YOU MUST LEAVE THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW."
"I'm not going anywhere." I heard him reply and dad's grip on my hands grew tighter.
"Calm down son, everything is okay. Dorothia, you must help him."
Help me with what?
"What the hell is going on?" said Jace. Robert ignored him and the moment Jace touched me, he passed out. Did I do that? Did I hurt my brother? I could hear Robert yelling at Magnus.
"This is all your fault, you filthy creature. I will not lose another son because of you."
Dot told everyone to calm down but it was too late for that. "Max was not me Robert. I will say it one last time." Magnus replied.
Dot came forward, she put her hands on either side of my head, I was on my knees now. The agonising pain in my stomach getting unbearable, the blood in my veins boiling. And then I heard Dot say something, it wasn't in English. Magnus got up from his bed, he tried coming closer, I heard him call my name when my father yelled at him. "Stay away from my son Bane, I will not ask again!"
I saw Jace, he was on the floor and then I passed out.
