A.N- I am so sorry for the long over due chapter. I have just bee so busy lately with everything but at last the newest chapter.
POV Gem
I hear Alec and Magnus walk inside and I ask Clary to watch the pasta for me.
I smooth out my skirt and walk to the door.
I see what looks like Alec comforting Magnus and Magnus freaking out. I smirk evilly knowing I evoke that reaction from the high warlock or Brooklyn.
"Hello Alec, Magnus. I'm so happy you could join us," I say walking over "Stalking my prey".
"My Pleasure" Magnus says not meeting my eyes.
"Where are my manors? I'm Gem, Alec's little sister," I say holding out my hand smirking.
Magnus reaches out to grab my hand and I grip his hand in a bone-crushing grip. He grimaces and I let go.
"Join us in the dinning room dinning will be served shortly" I say and then I walk away.
I can practically smell his fear. Good, no one messes with the Lightwood family.
I take over from Clary in the kitchen and I start plating dinner.
"You didn't hurt him did you?" Clary asks raising an eyebrow.
"Who me? Never" I say sarcastically.
"He means a lot to Alec and if you don't approve their relationship is over you know" Clary says seriously.
"I know, I know. But he will have to work for it. I don't care how great Alec thinks he is. If there is one shadow of a doubt in my mind that he will hurt Alec they will be over before you can says sorry" I say. I am fiercely protective of my family. If you ever dare hurt them you have signed your death sentence.
I finish plating dinner and Clary helps me bring all the plates out.
I made sure to make extra for the werewolves. They eat even more than shadow hunters and that is a foot to behold.
I sit down at the table after giving everyone their food and bringing out all the side dishes. Everyone digs in but I just watch Magnus for a while sizing him up.
It takes a couple minutes before he realizes and as soon as he does he practically sinks into the chair and does everything possible not to look at me. Everyone senses the tension.
"So Magnus what are your intentions with Alec" I say giving him my most intimidating look.
It seems to have worked as he slight widens his eyes in fear. I can tell he is trying to hide his fear and he would have succeeded if I weren't trained since birth to read people.
He gulps before he speaks.
"My intentions are honorable. I only want Alexander to be happy and I pray everyday that it will be with me he is happy," He says honestly looking at my brother.
I can see just by the look he gives him he loves him. I recognize it because it's the same look I look at Jace with.
Magnus then grips Alec's hand tightly under the table. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't seen Alec smile down.
It takes a lot to make Alec smile with a real smile and if one simple gesture from Magnus makes that happen, I guess I can approve.
That doesn't mean though I won't be easy on him.
It's going to take a lot more than one smile for that.
"I'm glad, you seem like a good man. I would hate to have castrate you," I say casually and the wolfs choke on their food. While I simply continue to eat my dinner.
After dinner we move to the living room and make small talk.
"So Alec says you are the High warlock of Brooklyn that must be a lot of work," I say doing my part of keeping conversation going.
"Yes it is, but it's worth it when I get to see your darling brother when I'm done" Magnus says and I can tell more of his personality is showing.
"Yes Alec is great isn't he? Lot's of guys would kill for a Man like him. So if you hurt him there are many to take your place," I say nonchalantly.
"Gem!" Alec says shocked.
"Oh sorry it seems I've made you uncomfortable. That was never my intention" I say with fake sweetness.
"Like hell" Alec mutters under his breath.
"Don't mumble Alec if you have something to say, say it" I say and he grumbles something to himself.
"I didn't hear you can you repeat yourself?" I taunt.
"Can you just stop? I support all your relationships and the least you can do is try not ruining mine. I love Magnus and he makes me happy. Isn't that enough? Isn't my happiness enough?" Alec yells crying. He runs out of the room sobbing and Magnus chases after him.
"I really screwed up didn't I" I say to no one in particular.
"Yup you did majorly, now go apologize" Izzy says pointing to where Alec ran away. I get up and walk to his room down the hall.
I crack out then door slightly and what I see stops me in my tracks.
It's Alec sobbing into Magnus's chest and Magnus is defending me.
"Why would she do that? Doesn't she know how much I love you? Doesn't she know how much it would break my heart if she doesn't approve" Alec says tears running down his cheeks and I felt my heart shatter.
"Alexander, your sister loves you more than life it's self. And it makes me so happy to know there is someone out there who would die for you besides me, because I know as long as there is breath in her body you will be safe. That it's self is the greatest gift." Magnus says so honest.
They lean forward and kiss each other. I turn away from the door and sink down the way letting the tears steam down my cheeks.
How could I ever doubt Magnus?
How could I let my stupid protectiveness get in the way of my brother's happiness?
I am a terrible person and an even worse sister. I am his family, it's my job to be in his corner and support him.
And what do I do? Try to scare away his boyfriend. I'm no worse than the demons we hunt. I didn't realize I said that out loud.
"No you're not" I hear a voice say. I look up and see Derek. He sits beside me.
"How could I be so stupid?" I ask. Looking at him.
"That wasn't stupid. That is what family does. Protect each other. And it is what the pack should have done with you. I am so sorry we let you down. A pack supports each other and loves each other. We treated you like garbage. I am so sorry" Derek says with tears in his eyes. I lay my head on his chest and his arm wraps around me.
I guess everyone can be stupid.
