Alec's POV:

The small movement of Magnus getting up pulled me out of sleep. Magnus was just out of my sight, but I could hear him talking to someone. My tired mind was still too fogged up to make out what they were saying. Anger washed over me when I realized my boyfriend was talking affectionately to a female voice.

A click clack noise told me that the girl had walked down the hall. Following her exit, Magnus returned to his seat on the sofa. His expression morphed from one of pleasure to one of surprise. "So Magnus, how many other people are you dating?" I forced as much anger and poison into the question.

Magnus opened his mouth to respond, but no words came out. The hurt was visible on his face. He finally managed to whisper, "You won't understand, Alexander."

My anger was boiling, "Then make me understand!" Without meaning to, my voice had come out in a shout. Magnus didn't even try to explain himself, instead he just shook his head slowly.

I ran down the hall that I though the girl had gone down. There were at least five doors on each side of the hallway. However, it wasn't even difficult to guess which one Magnus's special guest was behind. At the very end of the hall, there was a singular door. I had once asked what was behind the mysterious door, and Magnus had said something about it being none of my beeswax. It was the only room in his house that I'd never been inside of.

With a shaky hand, I grasped the fancy doorknob. It turned with a squeaky protest. I took a deep breath before pushing the door open. The room's walls were neon green with electric blue paint splatters. The carpet was also electric blue. In one corner of the room, there was a matching bed. Standing at the foot of the bed was a girl about Izzy's age. However, she was about Jace's height. I couldn't see much of the girl, for her back was to me.

A deep frown creased my face. She was getting undressed from what looked like Shadowhunter gear. At the moment, she only had a bra on and was in the process of removing her pants.

She must have heard my entrance, because she turned in shock. I inhaled sharply at the sight of her. Short, purple hair framed a slightly pale face. There were sparkles scattered across her hair. Eyes that resembled Magnus's stared at me. Holy crap! I thought, this is that girl Jace was taking about!

"What the fuck?" We both screamed. Sparkle looked past me as she screeched. I turned to see Magnus shyly standing behind me.

He cleared his throat before calmly saying, "I think we all need to talk." He looked at Sparkle before continuing, "Get dressed and meet me and Alexander in the living room, Darling."

Magnus pulled me out of Sparkle's room before slamming her door closed. He continued dragging me towards the area we had been watching movies in. When he released his grip, I practically fell on to the sofa. An awkward silence echoed through the room while we waited for Sparkle.

When she finally came out, she was wearing a navy blue t-shirt that had an image of a gorgeous full moon on it. Magnus cleared his throat, then said, "Alec, meet Artemis. Artemis, meet Alec." The name sounded familiar.

"YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH A GODDESS!" I shouted once I realized that Artemis was the Greek goddess of the moon and hunting.

Magnus chuckled before explaining, "No, this Artemis is simply named after the goddess." I mentally face palmed, remembering that according to myth, the goddesses had sworn to a life without love. In fact, the real Artemis despised men. Magnus then continued, "Plus, I'm not in that kind of relationship with Artemis." He paused as if he knew I wouldn't understand what he was about to say, "She is my daughter."

I shot out if my seat and yelled, "Magnus Bane! That is the worst lie I have ever heard. I am perfectly aware that Warlocks are incapable of having children!"

Artemis's eyes widened at my out burst. I could see her eyes watering as if she was about to cry. "Is this true, Dad?" Her pain and confusion was braided into her smooth voice when she said dad.

An ashamed Magnus replied, "Yes, but that doesn't mean I'm not your father. Sixteen years ago, there was a knock at my door. When I went to see who it was, there was a wooden basket on the porch. You where in the basket. A note was sitting on your chest."

Magnus walked over to his desk and pulled a slip of aged paper from one of the cabinets. He handed it to Artemis. The tears she had been fighting finally fell onto her cheeks as she read.

"I have something else to tell you, too," Magnus looked at his adopted daughter with sad eyes." You're not actually a warlock. You are a Shadowhunter."

Before Artemis could say anything, I interjected, "Hold on a sec, what about her eyes?"

Magnus snapped his fingers. Artemis's entire appearance changed. Strait purple hair was replaced with wavy, dark brown hair that almost looked black. Her yellow cat eyes now were the same electric blue as my own. "I used an extremely powerful glamour. Even I could not see through it until now." Magnus turned to Artemis again, "I'm so sorry, dear. I used the glamour and told you that you were my blood daughter for your own happiness. I knew that if you knew that your mother abandoned you, your heart would be crushed."

The newly found Shadowhunter opened her mouthy to speak, but then decided otherwise. Instead, Artemis pushed past Magnus and me to the front door. She opened the door, and gave Magnus a middle finger before running down the street.
