"Fuck!" Magnus shouted as his boyfriend's car speed away. He tried calling him, but it went straight to voicemail. Alec had broken up with him over a misunderstanding and he wasn't even at fault. Magnus looked at the pictures in his hand. He unfolded them and began to cry. He was about to be a father and thanks to Camille he might never see his children. The thought made him severely angry. He made his way back to his house on a mission to end Camille's life.

His pack was looking at him with sad eyes. They saw the whole thing and felt so bad for their Alpha. He lost the love of his life, and his children tonight. But they were determined to help him fix this. He entered his room, Camille sat on his bed with an evil smile on her face.

"So I hear your back on the market, that's great because I know I can satisfy your needs better than a worthless Omega." She spat out. Magnus growled dangerously. His eyes glowed Alpha red as he made his way towards her. She jumped up trying to make a quick escape but Magnus was faster. He grabbed her by the throat and held her in the air. She began gasping for air, he didn't let up any shape or form. He brings her closer to whisper in her ear.

"You know the punishment when you intervene between an Alpha and his mate is dead and since I'm the high Alpha in all of New York I can kill whoever the fuck I want and you Camille have lived your last days on this earth. I've had enough of your bullshit, racism, and rude remarks. Not only did you kiss an Alpha that was taken, but you also hurt the father of my pups. There is no coming back from that, but don't worry Sebastian will be joining you in a hell soon enough."

She looked at him with wide eyes full of fear, she tried to speak but couldn't say a thing as Magnus ripped her throat out with one hand. Blood splattered everywhere and Magnus didn't give two fucks about it. She's been planning to come between him and Alec for some months now and tonight her plan succeeded. But not if he could help it. He will burn New York to the ground to get his mate back.

Magnus tried to reach Alec through their bond but it was no use. Alec shut his emotions off from him and Magnus knew that wasn't a good sign. A pregnant Omega needs to be with their Alpha in order to have a smooth pregnancy. They need the alphas scent to calm the babies so they could sleep, but from the bags, under Alec's eyes, Magnus could tell that he hasn't slept in a while. He looked thinner than he should've been. That concerned Magnus the most, his omega hasn't been eating or taking care of himself.

But Magnus was still lost as to what's been going on with his mate. He was broken out of his thoughts by his pack members strolling into the room. They examined the scene in front of them and looked at him with hard eyes. Waiting for orders.

"What do you need Alpha?" Jace his second in command asked.

"Find Sebastian, I know he's in this as well. I will not tolerate disrespect anymore. I've tried to dial it back a notch, and let too many things slide. Not anymore, they have hurt my love too many times. Enough is enough. Anyone that disrespects you or any Omega you have my permission to kick their asses. Izzy, I need you to try to find Alec, he may not answer the phone for any of us, but I need to make sure he and the babies are okay. I don't want him to have a miscarriage this early from the stress and pain. Please." His voice cracked talking about his pups losing their lives over a misunderstanding." Please find him.." He wiped the tears in his eyes. "Clary, and Simon I need you to finish the transitions for our performance on Monday. Also, Simon, since you work with both Lydia and Alec, see if you could get them to open up to you. Lydia may slap the shit out of you, but at least it's something. I don't want to follow them, but I need to know that Alec is protected at all costs until I can speak to him on Monday. He can't ignore me at school, I won't allow that to happen. Oh and I need cleaning supplies for the blood and a body bag to drop this body off at the morgue to be burnt and thrown away."

The pack got to work after Magnus gave each of them a task to complete. Jace helped Magnus clean the blood off his floor and walls. Magnus was hurting bad, and Jace could sense it in the atmosphere. Magnus' alpha pheromones were releasing of their own accord. He had no control over them when he was heartbroken. His pack just had to deal with their Alphas emotions until he got himself together, but losing Alec tonight after spending days searching for him took a toll out of him.

The blood was completely gone thanks to the chemicals his best friend Ragnor supplied him a few years ago. Magnus was fully stocked with bottles of the mixture, body bags, gloves, goggles, face masks, etcetera. No one ever questioned an Alpha's motives. If they killed someone, it must have been serious. Camille needed to be killed and so does Sebastian. They've gotten away with too much, but not anymore. Magnus made sure of that.

Magnus drove to the morgue and dropped Camille's body off. He would call her parents and tell her that he killed her, but they don't care about her either. She was rude and disrespectful towards them, eventually, they got sick of her and tossed her out on the street. She's been living with Sebastian ever since then, but when he gets a hold of Sebastian, he will make sure his body is scattered all over New York.

He made it back to the house and poured him a shot of whiskey and down it. It burned as it went down, but that didn't stop him from taking another shot. As he was pouring his third glass Jace came in with the news of Sebastian and by the looks on his face, he knows it isn't good.

"Out with it Jace."

Jace flinched at the Alpha tone but pulled himself together.

"Word got around of what Camille has done, and Sebastian was seen buying a ticket at the airport. He boarded a plane to London not too long ago. What's next?" Jace asked hesitantly.

Magnus growled. So, the coward decided to run. No matter Magnus has contacts in London. His friend William should be able to find this asshole and ship him back to the states. You don't get to run after what he's done and every wolf knows it. If an Alpha put death threats on your head, then you're finished. If someone spots you, they would take you back to get your punishment and leave with a hefty reward.

"Don't worry about it, Jace. I'll take care of it. Try to get some sleep, we need to practice tomorrow and I need you'll in tip-top shape. Don't worry about me, I'll be okay after I talk to Alec on Monday. You did a great job tonight. Thank you, buddy."

Jace nodded muttering 'You're welcome' and leaving the room.

Not wanting to be disturbed he closed his door and locked it. He cried all night while looking at the pictures of his children's ultrasounds.

Alec sat on the roof of his penthouse with a guitar and his songbook. He still needed to come up with a song to perform on Monday morning and it's now Saturday afternoon. He spent most of the night crying on Sean's shoulder, but he didn't want to lay all his problems on Sean. He needed to be strong like his father asked him to be. He also needed to be strong for his pups inside of him.

He picked up his guitar and started playing the cords that popped into his head. Once he got a flow he couldn't stop. He poured his heart and soul into the lyrics. Once he was done he texed Lydia, Helen, Aline and one of his father's guitarist to help with the melody and background vocals to meet him at his house to rehearse.

His stomach growled notifying him that his babies needed food. Not wanting anything heavy, Alec ordered chicken noodle soup with crackers from Takis. They said it would take 10 minutes, so he took the time to shower. He hasn't showered in three days and he was beginning to smell. Alec was hit with an intense wave of Sorrow. He missed Magnus like crazy, and so does his pups, but Alec needed this time to figure things out. He's still hurt him badly by kissing Camille. She shouldn't be at his house in the freaking first place.

Magnus shouldn't have let her in! Did she and Magnus sleep together? Did they date? Why didn't Magnus tell him anything? Well, he couldn't fault him at that, because he's been keeping things to himself as well, but Alec told Magnus about his past relationships which were none. Because he didn't trust people, Magnus is his first of many and Magnus never shared his past with Alec. Alec was frustrated with Magnus not telling him the truth. Shaking his head from the thoughts, Alec washed his hair and body quickly and got dressed just in time for his food to be delivered.

Alec checked the security camera in the elevator before letting the delivery man up because Magnus and his pack have been stopping for every two hours and honestly it's getting on his nerves. It was probably the pregnancy hormones. He paid for his soup and sat on the couch to eat comfortably. He popped in his Yu-Gi-Oh DVD's and binge watched season 1 until his friends get there. Lydia has a key, so he wouldn't have to get up to answer the door.

An hour later Alec Lydia walked into the living room with four other people following behind her.

"Hey AL, how are you feeling?"

"I'm okay, just wanting to get this performance over so could get our diploma and get on with our lives. I'm thinking about staying in Hawaii for the rest of the school year. My grades are perfect, and we graduate in four weeks. I'm just tired Lyds. But I need time to heal and I can't do it here surrounded by all the things that remind me of what used to be. But enough about that, let's get to work. I set up the instruments in the Music Studio. Come on then."

"Hey Raph, thanks for coming on short notice. I really appreciate it."

Raphael scoffed. "Shut up Alec, you're practically family, but I won't go into details about that just yet. Now show me the song we are playing."

Alec passed out the sheet music and waited for their reactions. It was silent for a moment, but Aline broke it by squealing in delight. She hugged Alec tightly them apologized for being too enthusiastic. "Are you going to sing? This song is amazing! I just hope I won't break down and cry. It has a lot of emotion in the lyrics, are you sure you're going to be able to perform it?" She was concerned about Alec's mental state, and Alec couldn't blame her, but he made a promise to his father he would do this and there was no backing out now.

"Yes, I can do it. I might cry, but it's worth it. This person needs to know how badly he hurt me, and there's no turning back now." He said firmly.

The other nodded and began rehearsing the song.

*****
[MONDAY! PERFORMANCE DAY!]

Magnus stood outside waiting for Alec's or Lydia's car to arrive but they never came. This was the only time Magnus could speak to Alec only and not cause a scene, but he didn't show up. Magnus sighed walking into the school. Eyes were on him, but he didn't care, he just needed to explain to his mate what he saw was a misunderstanding. He would never do anything to hurt him.

Magnus saw a flash of blonde and he ran towards it. He knew that short female anywhere. Jace and Izzy joined him as he approached Lydia. She looked up from her locker and walked up to Magnus with fire in her eyes.

"You cheating son of a bitch! I know it was wrong for Alec shutting you out for a week, but he had a good reason. But were you that lonely you had to cheat on him when he needed you the most?! I should break chop your balls off right here and now! Didn't I say don't hurt him? Watch your back, Magnus Bane, you hurt the wrong Omega. But don't worry, after today you will never see Alec again, cause you clearly don't care about him." She spat.

Wait, what the hell did she mean about that? "Lydia I didn't do anything wrong! She set me up! She heard when Alec came into the house, I was just on my way to find him when she showed up begging to for me to let her back in the pack. I turned her down and when she heard the door open she rushed forward and kissed me. I pushed her off and was about kill her right then and there but Alec showed up. I'm not that kind of a man. Alexander is the only one I want and needs no one else. Hell, I spent a week searching for him all over New York. I even asked John to help me look for him or even you! I was so desperate I went to your house to find you, but your mother said you moved out! I tried calling Michael and Sean but got no answer. Hell, I even begged Sophia and nothing! I've been in agony for a week straight. Do you know how it feels when your mate is hurting and can't be there to console them? It's the worst feeling in the world so don't you dare say I don't care about him because I was about to burn down New York to find him! And what the fuck do you mean I won't see him again after today?"

Lydia looked at him with wide eyes and shook her head. She couldn't believe her best friend was so stupid. If he would've just talked to Magnus instead of thinking he was cheating on him-he would be somewhat okay. Now she has to do something drastic to get these two alone in a room together so they could hash things out. Fuck! She thought to herself.

Lydia held the bridge of her nose and sighed heavily. After gathering her thoughts, she looked back up to Magnus. "Okay, here's what we're going to do. After the performances meet me at my new house." She wrote down her address and handed it to Magnus. "He will be there to collect his clothes from the other day. He will try to escape so he wouldn't have to speak to you, but you must make him and do it quickly I'd rather not freeze my tits off while I guard the door. I need the rest of you to help me guard the outside because when I say he's going to disappear, I mean it and after finding out who's judging the performances, he wants to leave right now."

"Wait, who are the judges?" Jace cut in.

Lydia rolled her eyes.

"Your parents are, and after they hear Alec's last name what do you think they're going to do? It's not a lot of Wayland's in New York, and he doesn't need any more stress than he already is."

Magnus groans and bangs his head on Lydia's locker. That's the one thing he doesn't want. Dammit Camille, you just had to be a bitch. Didn't you? Magnus wanted to kill her again but do it slowly this time. Lydia grabbed Magnus before he could bang his head on the locker. "Magnus don't worry, Aline and Helen are with him making sure he doesn't stress too much and feeding him. He doesn't have an appetite, and he's restless but stubborn. He needs his Alpha and he knows it but doesn't care. It's like he needs the pain to keep going, but it isn't good for him. After everything he's gone through this week, his mind isn't all the way there anymore. So I need you to break that barrier Magnus and get my best friend back happy."

Magnus nodded in agreement. "What happened last week? Please tell me, Lydia, I hate not knowing."

Lydia shook her head wiping the tears forming in her eyes. "You'll find out soon enough. Now we must go, we don't want to be late." She hugged him and walked off to find her idiotic best friend.

Magnus, Jace, and Izzy cursed after hearing who the judges were. Even if they win and got the deal, they could easily turn it down. They aren't going to school for music. Magnus and Izzy are there for Fashion, and Jace wants to be an actor. They just know how to play instruments, but they weren't that good, it's supposed to be for fun anyway. A way to say goodbye to the senior class and wish them the best as they start their new journey.

The auditorium was filled with the entire student body, teachers, and parents that came out to support their children. The judges were sat in the middle on some stage looking thing. There were two big projector screens on each side of the stage so everyone could see. It looked like they were at a Beyoncé concert with those damn screens.

Many students have performed while they were taking to Lydia. But after Lydia told Magnus that his pregnant mate has been stressing for some days, he didn't want to do the stupid performance. No, he wanted to check on his love, and make sure the babies are alright. But as he began walking off the stage to find his mate, Simon shouted his name saying they were up next.

Magnus cursed under his breath and sighed. "Alright let's get this over with, I need to find Alexander." They set up and the curtains opened, Simon introduced them so the teachers could scratch their names off the list of seniors that has performed. After getting the go-ahead from the principal to proceed, they started playing the melody they've been working on for a month now.

Their performance got the crowd hyped up. They sang every word along with them. It was fun if Magnus was honest, but his mind kept reeling back to Alec. He needed to make this right. As they came to a close Magnus was hit with a wave of nausea. Meaning Alec was throwing up somewhere. Dammit, he thought to himself. He could feel that Alec wasn't doing too good and needed his Alpha to stop the pain he was feeling.

The crowd cheered for them, and they took their leave. Thank goodness the school provided the instruments. If not, the performances would take all day and no one has time for that. Magnus ran backstage to try and find Alec. He sniffed the air, but it's like his omega didn't want him to find him like he was taking scent blockers, and Magnus prayed that wasn't the case. Taking those type of pill could endanger their children. Magnus' mind was going a mile away minute thinking about the worse possible things Alec could do to his children, but he knew Alec wouldn't hurt his kids. Damn it! He just needed to see him and make sure he's okay.

Izzy grabbed his arm pulling him to the side and asking if he was alright. He was on the verge of a panic attack and didn't even know it. He shook his head from the dizziness and confirmed he was just fine. She didn't look convinced, but say anything and Magnus was grateful she didnt press anymore.

"We should go take a seat, Alec's group is up next." She informs him. Magnus nods and walks to the empty seats available. Just as they sat down, Lydia, Helen, Aline, and Raphael walked on the stage. Magnus frowned what the hell was his brother doing here and performing with Alec? Wait! Raphael works at Idris Inc. Duh Magnus! He told you that years ago! But why didn't Raphael give Magnus a heads up he was back in town? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his Omega's voice.

It was time to perform and Alec's emotions were all over the place, he took a deep breath as he walked out on the stage. The people from the labels were the judges and Alec ignored his birth parents after his father passed away last week, he was in no condition to hear their shit and couldn't handle their presence at the moment. He took a deep breath and introduced himself along with his classmates.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I will be performing an original song. This song was written in three hours, apologies if it sucks. I promised my father Michael Wayland before he passed away on Friday, that I would do this so, if I get emotional please forgive me. This song is debated to the person that stepped on my heart and crushed. Please enjoy."

'Awws' could be heard as he stopped speaking mic. Alec looked at Lydia and nodded, the music started playing and he lost himself in the lyrics. He could see Magnus and his pack members sitting in the distance with their hands on their mouths and tears running down their cheeks. Now they knew why he was so distant. He could tell they were hurt from not knowing, but Alec couldn't think about that at the moment. He could hear his classmates whispering about him not being able to sing, he blocked out those negative comments. They were in for a shock of a lifetime.

He grabbed the microphone tightly and begun to sing.

It ain't the gun
It's the man behind the trigger
Gets blood on his fingers and runs
It's ain't the lie it's the way that the truth is denied

He looked into Magnus' eyes as he sung the next part of the song so he could understand the pain he's caused Alec by kissing Camille.

But or there is one thing that I'm guilty of
It's loving and giving when you take too much
If somebody asked how we died
Please look them straight in the eyes

He had tears streaming down his face now as he held his stomach. He knew Magnus would understand what he's saying. Alec could see some of his classmate's faces, they all were shocked including his birth parents. No one knew Alec could sing like this except his father, Sean, Lydia, Aline, Helen, and Raphael. He wanted to keep it that way but his father made him promise to let the world hear him sing, and that's exactly what was going to do.

Call it suicide
Don't fabricate
Just tell them, baby
It was suicide
Don't sugarcoat it, just let them know

Some of the crowd cheered as Alec hit his high notes, and some of them were recording his performance on their phones.

It ain't the knife
It's the way that you use it
How you abuse it in fights
It's ain't about the life
You feel you were given
As long as your living in love

Everyone could see that Alec was pouring his heart out to Magnus and he wanted to let him know that Alec gave him his all, and he ruined it by cheating. They could hear the pain in his voice as well as see the tears streaming down his face. He pounded his chest as he sung the pre-chorus of his song.

But or there is one thing that I'm guilty of
It's loving and giving when you take too much
If somebody asked how we died
Oh, you look them straight in the eyes

Call it suicide
Don't fabricate
Just tell them, baby
It was suicide
Don't sugarcoat it, just let them know

Alec couldn't look at Magnus or his friends anymore. He closed his eyes and lost himself in the music. His chest still ached, but he knew that he would be okay in the long run with his father looking over him.

You've been killing me softly
And finally, the pain is too much
Oh
And I'm all out of whiskey
To soak up the damage you've done
Oh

It's there is anything I'm guilty or of
It's loving you too much
If anybody asked how we died

Call it suicide
Don't fabricate
Just tell them, baby
It was suicide
Don't sugarcoat it, just let them know...

Ahhhh,
Call it suicide
Oh...
Don't fabricate
(No don't fabricate it)
Just tell them, baby
It was suicide
(It was...)
Don't sugarcoat it, just let them know

Ohhh...baby
Just let them know
Ohhh, just...heyy, hey

"Thank you."

Alec bowed and The auditorium erupted into loud cheers, claps, and whistles. Lydia hugged him tightly not wanting to let him go. He didn't mind as he heald her closely and kissed her forehead. He thanked Helen, Aline and Raphael for joining them today, but he needed to get out of there so he can prepare himself for later when he meets Sean to pick up his father's remains.

"You sounded amazing Allie! I'm so proud of you! I asked John to record it so we can watch it together later. I know Michael was smiling watching you do something you love even if you pretend don't like singing. We know the truth." Lydia teased him. He play pushed her muttering "shut up" as they walked to the exit. They didn't need to be there anymore, Alec damn sure didn't want to talk to anyone so he said a quick goodbye to Lydia and made his way to the school parking lot.

He got in his car and drove to Lydia's house to pack up the clothes he left there so he could wash them. Just as he finished zipping up his suitcase the front door opened and entered his Alpha.

"Oh, what the fuck?!"
