Jace's POV:

I woke up to feel a weight across my stomach. I opened my eyes and saw Clary lying on me snuggled up to my chest. I breathed in her scent and thought of how lucky I was that Jonathan wanted an alliance. But why would he attack the Lightwoods or any other Kingdoms for that matter. I made sure that these questions staid at the front of my mind as to not let the answers to the questions surface. The truth is that I know why Jonathan attacked the Lightwoods. He was going after Alec. Because of what he had told Izzy. It wasn't fair for Alec to have to hide things from his sister but it did put that last of our kind in danger. Especially Jonathan. I want Jonathan dead not only because of what he did to Clary, but what he did to my parents. Or is doing. Or maybe has done. I'm pulled from my thoughts when I feel Clary wriggle I look down on her. I had missed her so much and I wish I hadn't. I had promised that I would not love her only care for her. I couldn't afford to fall in love. But it was becoming harder and harder. I wanted to protect her when she was scared. Hold her when she was upset and kiss her whenever she walks into a room.

"Morning Jace" said Clary, scrunching her nose and rubbing her eyes.

"Morning Clare" With her still on top of me, I lifted us up and pushed my back up against the wall so she was sitting on my lap with one leg each side of me and her head resting on my shoulder.

"You ok?" she murmured

"Yup" I whispered back. My hands drifted into her hair. I swear I had no control. She shifted over so her back was now against mine, while moving she rubbed me accidentally and I couldn't help the moan that escaped my lips. She looks up at me in confusion. I look down and she gets of the bed and calls for Maia and Poppy. They arrive and start to dress her. I lie on the bed watching her. She turns around ten minutes later.

"Well get dressed."

"No point Magnus is coming to check on me."

"Ok. I'm going to go read in the library, come meet me when you done?"

"Sure" I say smiling at her.

She leaves the room with Maia and Poppy following. Once the door is shut I look up at the ceiling and breath in. Life could be harder... Couldn't it?

Clary's Pov:

I go to the library and pick up another book on old shadow hunter legends. I find an old book, looking at the title it reads 'The shadowhunter codex' I shrug brush of the dust and find myself a comfy corner and start reading. It's fascinating. It shows that the shadow world actually had Vampires, warlocks, faeries and hunters who where then names shadowhunters as in one joint word. I look through the book and the end page has three names scribbled down. Tessa Gray, Jem carstairs and Will Herondale. Hmm peculiar that two of those names are In Jace's relation. I'm so engrossed inthe book that I don't notice Jace come in. He comes in and takes the book out of my hands.

"Whatcha reading?" He looks and the front cover and his face hardens. "Where did you find this?" his voice starts to raise.

I point to the glass cabinet in the corner.

"No! Do you understand me. NO going into that cabinet." He takes a step forward. I shrink back unsure of what i did wrong. "Don't you dare look through another book in that cabinet." I raise my hands in almost like surrender but he pins them down his nails digging into my skin. "Understand?"

"j-jace. your hurting me" I say softly and thats all it takes he removes his hands from my body and stares down at them in horror. Than at my sore wrist.

"I-i'm sorry, Clary please forgive me, Please." I look down at him unsure of what happened. It was clear that Jace had some form of issues. I could feel anger bubling up through my veins. But the look on Jace's face simmered it and I just nodded uncertainly. I put the book down and steer round Jace completely. I could feel his stare burning into the back of my head but I kept walking forward. I had thought that I had known Jace or that he was changed, but clearly not.

A/n: ok so this is going to be Long but important. But first this chapters shoutout goes to a guest...lolbooks. Thank you for the lovely review. X Right now the important stuf:

So I'm not sure about this chapter but I'm leaning towards the idea that Jonathan, Jace, Alec, Sebastian and a few others are actual shadowhunters like in Cassandra's books and there will be a war and there will be demons and vampires brought in. I don't really know but this could be like an alternate start to the books and then it's going to go along those lines. I feel like there may be some confusion so I'm going to right it down below:

-So in these kingdoms the high up guards like Jace Alec, Sebastian and other rulers of their own kingdoms are called shadow hunters and they get these special marks called runes that don't actually do anything except show authority. But clearly we are figuring out that they actually do mean something.

-They have been married for about seven to eight months and clary hasn't seen Jonathan since her wedding day.

Hope that cleared some stuff and if you guys really hate the idea I'll take this chapter down and start again so please leave a review.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
