Alright guys, I'm really really sorry that this have taken so long - I had a test in school and some other stuff, but I hope you're still holding on and that you want to continue to read this story - I'll try to upload another chapter tomorrow, if not in just a couple of hours! Enjoy :)

"I'm not responsible for what I might do to him next time I see him Jace" Isabelle mumbled, her fists closed, referring to her father.

"Yeah, me neither.." Jace replied and grabbed a chair to sit down - he felt exhausted.

"What should we do?"

"We won't do anything" Jace said and tried to look her in the eyes as she tried to wipe away her tears

"But-" Isabelle exclaimed and stood up, wandering back and forward in the room "We must do something!"

"I said no" Jace said as calm as he could "Sit down."

He watched Isabelle lay down on the bed again, mumbling something about how stubborn he was but he couldn't hear the rest, all he did was to look at his phone, hoping that Alec would return his call.

"Magnus" Alec whimpered and walked up to him "Hey, look at me-"

"Don't touch me Alec, I'm not responsible for what I might do…" The Warlock grunted in anger, his jaw set and his fists closed

"Please…" he whispered and reached out to touch Magnus's shoulder anyway "Just, calm down"

"Calm down?!" Magnus screamed at him as he turned around, regretting it in the same second as he did by the look on Alec's face. He was scared. "How am I supposed to calm down when I hear that my boyfriend got hurt because of me?" He knew that this was a side he'd never showed Alec before, his demon side…

Alec tried to look him in the eyes, but the loving, shining cat-eyes that normally used to look at him had transformed to something completely else. Hatred. "Don't say that"

"Why not? It's true, isn't it?" Magnus breathed heavily but Alec's touch calmed him down a little. What was he doing? He wasn't the one getting hurt, it was Alec - he had to try to restrain himself.

Alec didn't answer, just shook his head before he lowered it and pulled away his hand, but a few seconds later he could feel Magnus's hand on his as he pulled him closer.
He couldn't help it - the touch that normally would get him relaxed now made him tense a little. Magnus noticed that and it felt like his heart was breaking now that he seemed to be back to normal.

"Alec, I'm so sorry" he cried and kissed Alec's forehead, holding him tight in his arms "I'm so sorry…"

Alec closed his eyes and leaned his head against the other's chest, feeling Magnus's raising heartbeat. His throat was still burning but he wasn't crying anymore, maybe he didn't have any tears left?

"I-I'm sorry too.." he whispered and looked up carefully "I did-didn't mean to upset you"
He relaxed in the same second as Magnus's tender and kind eyes looked back at him, knowing that apparently he was back to normal.

"You have no reason to apologize, do you hear that? Not to me, or your father...damn him." Magnus replied but he didn't let go of his lover. He wanted to protect him, more then anything in the whole world - he knew he could take care of himself, he wasn't going to break, he was stronger than he though but still..

"I'm going with you back to the Institute in the morning"

"W-what?" Alec stammered and let go of Magnus's body "What for?"

"I'm going to have a little talk with your so-called father…"

"Magnus-"

"You can't stop me Alec, I'm sorry." Magnus replied and took a step back "You should try to get some more sleep love"

"Sleep? How?" Alec mumbled and sat down on the bedside, his head in his hands "Uh…"

He could feel Magnus's arms around him once again, hugging him from behind as he kissed his neck, making Alec tilt his head slightly. "I don't want to do this.." he whispered, his eyes closed.

"I know" Magnus replied and closed his eyes "I wish you wouldn't have to."
