Hi friends! Sorry couldn't post yesterday. Was busy! But back with next chapter. Thanks a lot for reading. Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

"Alexander this is my club. You're standing in my pandemonium club"

Alec had a mixture of shock and surprise expression on his face "You own a club?" Magnus nodded "Ofcourse. This place is my second home. I arrange most of my meetings with the clients in here"

"Wow...I mean...It's a nice place" Alec admitted and relaxed now that he knew he was still in New York and the place was owned by Magnus. The warlock smiled feeling proud of his club "Thank you. I've been thinking of redecorating but.." his eyes fell on a man and Alec saw his expression darkened

"What is it?"

"That scumb of the universe. What is he doing here" Magnus took a step in anger but Alec held his arm eyeing the man. He was as tall as him, blonde and had an smug look on his face "Who is he?"

"He was a friend of mine, Roderick Paterson. A powerful warlock who had the guts to stab me in the back. I don't understand after almost ninety years what is he doing back in town and that too in my club" Magnus frowned thinking

"Maybe he came to apologise"

Magnus turned around "You're too naive Alexander. This world is filled with people who'll hurt and betray you the moment you turn your back" Alec felt the pain in his voice and suddenly anger swelled in his veins. How dare anyone hurt Magnus. If he wasn't in a dream world then Roderick would definitely be meeting his fists

"Anyways" Magnus's voice broke his thoughts "I'll deal with him when I wake up. Let's find your better half" Alec blinked at the word. Better half...now how was he suppose to do that. He had no idea what qualities should he look for. The shadowhunter had never been particular about what he wanted in a man. He was too busy in slaying demons and going on missions. His one and only crush was Jace and now maybe ...Magnus

"Alexander? What are you thinking?" asked Magnus

"Magnus" Alec whispered in his dazed state

"Yeah?"

Alec blinked "I...I mean...I've never..I really don't know what to do" he confessed blushing "There are so many of them...how will I know" Magnus gave an encouraging smile "Listen to your inner voice. Follow your heart. You'll know Alexander. The potion we made you drink will lead you to him"

Alec was still confused so Magnus looked around to see if anyone was good enough for him. He pointed at a man who was sitting alone on the stool and drinking "How about that guy? He looks nice. Tall dark and even handsome"

Alec titled his head and made a face "I don't feel anything"

"That one?" Magnus pointed at other man

"No"

"Hey I know that man. His name is Andrew. Too talkative but nice guy"

"Still nothing"

"Why not you look around Alexander. I still have half an hour"

Feeling a bit awkward Alec started his search. He had never eyed a man from top to bottom before so this felt so weird to him. His eyes fell from one man to another but all Alec could think was...

He doesn't have Magnus's eyes

Magnus's smiles better than him

He should learn how to dress like Magnus

Not as elegant as Magnus

AFTER TWENTY FIVE MINUTES

"Alexander anyone?"

Alec shook his head

"I've to go"

"No! I mean..."

"Keep looking" Magnus checked the time "I'll come back tomorow"

"But"

"We still have nine days. If he again makes an appearance then you'll know it's him. We'll approach him and explain the situation. I've to go" Magnus clapped three times and Alec sighed pursing his lips. He hated this moment when Magnus had to go back to real world. He hated every second he had to spend without the warlock

Alec didn't even feel like searching for his true love. He was frustrated and angry. He wanted to get out if here and be in the real world where he could spend more time with Magnus. He turned around and slammed his hand on the wall.

MAGNUS'S POV

Magnus laid wide awake in his bed. He couldn't sleep as his mind was constantly bothered by the fact that Alec was going to belong to someone other than him. The younger Lightwood siblings were also little dissapointed when he came back without a name. Only nine days were left and with every second that passed, the threat on Alec's life doubled.

Magnus knew Alec couldn't just pick a random person and guess he might be his true love. This was hard decision for the shadowhunter. The boy atleast needed couple of days or more to figure out who his heart desires for. His heart clenched painfully when every time Alec was eyeing a different guy. He was jealous over the fact that why never Alec looked at him. Magnus sighed and turned to his side hoping tomorrow this journey to Alec's dreamland would end so it would hurt him less

NEXT DAY IN ALEC'S DREAM

"You never cease to amaze me Alexander" Magnus laughed lightly when he saw where they were standing. Alec was equally shocked. He didn't mean to end up in a fancy restaurant. Like yesterday one blink he was in the club and next second the shadowhunter ended up in the restaurant "Let me guess, you know this place too?"

Magnus nodded with a smile "It's my favourite place to eat. Only few people knows this...I'm surprised why did we end up here. Oh wait! Maybe he's coming here to eat"

"Yeah maybe" said Alec halfheartedly

"You do remember the faces from the club right?"

Alec nodded

"Good. Begin your hunt shadowhuter" Magnus encouraged putting up a brave smile. Alec scanned the hall but he didn't find any familiar faces except... Magnus. Three hours passed and Magnus had to leave without a name.

NEXT DAY IN ALEC'S DREAM

"Alexander I really can't believe this"

"Don't tell me this place is your favourite too"

"It actually is! This lake is special to my heart. I come here when I feel low"

"Its beautiful"

"Keep looking. Your true love might be here"

"I know" whispered Alec looking at Magnus. This time Alec spend more time in gazing Magnus who's eyes were fixed on the water. A calm feeling washed over him and he felt his search was over. He watched as Magnus clapped three times and vanished infront of his eyes

NEXT DAY IN ALEC'S DREAM

Alec gasped when he saw where he was standing. He was in Magnus's loft on the balcony. His eyes watered on seeing Jace and Izzy. He so badly wanted to go and hug them but he couldn't. They were right infront of him yet he couldn't do a damn thing about it. He could see how exhausted and worried they looked. Alec's eyes fell on his prone form but blushed when he saw Magnus lay beside him

"Alexander what are you doing here?"

Alec turned around and saw Magnus next to him. There was a change in his expression. His normal captivating smile was replaced by...anger? "Magnus are you okay?"

"What are you doing in my loft? You were suppose to go where your true love is. Why are you here?"

Alec eyed at the bed where Magnus laid but to Magnus it looked like Alec was referring to Jace who was sitting beside them. His heart hammered in his chest and anger doubled "You still love him don't you!"

"What?" Alec asked looking at Magnus

"Don't act so naive Alec!"

It stunk at Alec's heart when Magnus didn't call him by his full name "Magnus..."

"It's Jace isn't it? You still haven't gotten over him. That's why you came here" accused Magnus raising his voice

Alec's eyes shone with tears. How could Magnus think this low of him. He did have a crush on Jace but now all those feelings were gone. Jace was nothing but a brother to him. He gulped down the heavy lump "That's not...true"

"Oh yeah? Then what are we doing here?! Everything is crystal clear...you still love him!"

"Magnus please listen to me"

"I can't even look at you" Magnus turned his back "I came everyday for you. I cancelled all my appointments for you. I did my best to help you find your true love" he laughed bitterly "If you would've just told me from the beginning then..."

"Get out!"

Magnus turned back around to face him "What?"

"I said get out! Get out of my dream!"

"You're one ungrateful selfish shadowhunter!"

"LEAVE!"

"Fine! Have it your way" Magnus clapped three times leaving Alec alone who slumped down on balcony floor and cried silently.
