Enjoy ^.^

I'm thinking about adding Raphael to the little band of wolves in Alec's pack. Also have you guys seen the art work for Rafael Lightwood Bane? So adorable.

21.

"Alec how long has this been going on?" Maryse frowned looking over his test results.

"A couple months give or take...I didn't think anything of it until today when I just couldn't really feel my leg..." He answered.

"You have silver poisoning. It's slowly working through your blood stream. If it gets to heart you could die. Why didn't you come to me when you first started feeling weak?"

"Silver poisoning? I thought we got most of it out..." He frowned.

"Even a small fragment can have a large impact on a werewolves system," she told him.

She picked up a needled and filled it with a clear liquid. "I'm going to give you something that will bring the feeling back into your leg. You're ting to have to do this twice a day. Once when you wake up, and again in the afternoon. It won't get rid of the silver completely. But it will slow down the process until I can get you a more permanent solution."

"How long will that take?" He held the cotton to the spot she injected.

"Well it depends on whether or not I can find Valentine," she answered. "It'll take a little while for that to kick in. I have to go and check on a John Doe."

He nodded and settled back against the chair. "What happened?"

"A young teenager was attacked in the park. The police think gang related but I'm suspecting otherwise," she answered. "Don't move. I'm going to call Jace to give you a ride home."

"I will just sit here like a good little pup," he promised taking out his phone.

She chuckled a little and opened the door. "Magnus."

Alec looked over his shoulder and sat up forgetting out his leg seeing Magnus looking a little pale faced.

"The guy that was admitted a few hours ago...I know him..." He told her.

"Why don't you-"

"I can't, Ragnor's a few halls down having a panic attack right now...I promised him I'd be right back. I just wanted to let you know his name's Raphael Santigo. He's a high school student who works at the dojo I used to work out. He's a really good kid and this whole gang thing is bull shit. This is his mother's number. She needs to know he's here."

Maryse nodded and took the slip of paper. "Of course."

He nodded and jogged back down the hall.

"Thanks for the injections," Alec slipped past her and slightly limped after Magnus catching his arm before he got to the room.

He flinched a little at the contact before relaxing.

"Sorry, we just, we were hanging out last night. He was asking about gift ideas for Ragnor's birthday. Fuck I should've walked him home..." He covered his face.

"Magnus this isn't your fault. Things like this happen it's probably just a mugging gone bad or-""But what if it wasn't?" Magnus interrupted. "What if...what if he was jumped or it was a werewolf attack or something? You said things like that happen."

"They do yes, usually by feral, rogue werewolves. But I doubt this was the case..." Alec tried to assure him. "I'll ask my mom to see what she can tell me."

He nodded a little. "I'm gonna stay with Ragnor for a few days. I don't want to leave him alone with Raphael being in the hospital."

"I'll bring you some clothes then. And your medication," Alec told him. He kissed his forehead. "It'll be okay. I promise."

He pulled away and walked back down the hall and dialed Woolsey's number holding the phone to his ear as he ducked around a corner.

"Afternoon," the blond greeted. "To what do I owe this call?"

"Call Simon. We're going to go check out that place where the kid was supposedly gang jumped tonight. I have a bad feeling some were's don't know how to play nice," he answered.

"What time?" Woolsey asked.

"Sundown. We'll meet there. And not a word of this to Magnus," he told him. "Think you can manage that?"

"Don't tell Magnus we're meeting at sundown to track some possible rogue werewolves. Got it. See you then."

He hung up and out his phone back his pocket before grabbing his jacket from his mom's office.

"What are we looking for exactly?" Woolsey asked following Alec down the street. He whistled and Simon jogged over to keep up.

"He was jumped here," Alec squatted down next to the dried blood on the pathway. He followed the tiny drops to the grass and the bench and smirked finding a piece of torn clothing and some fur. "And there was a bit of a scuffle here…and he wound up-"

"Here," Simon interrupted standing in the spot where there was dried blood in the grass and on the concrete.

"And the werewolf wound up here," Woolsey added standing by the edge of the woods surrounding the park. "Found some more fur and picked up a scent. It's not much but if we follow it we should find the culprit."

Alec nodded. "Woolsey you scout on ahead let me know if you find anything, Simon and I will follow on foot."

The blond nodded and took off into the woods.

"Why are we going to follow on foot?" Simon asked. "Shouldn't we follow in our wolves forms?"

"It's better if Woolsey goes on ahead. Woolsey is the distraction," Alec answered walking over a few branches. "Sides I want to talk to you."

"…I swear I haven't flirted with Magnus," Simon held up his hands in defense.

"What? No, that's not why I want to talk to you," Alec shook his head and smiled amused. "Woolsey and I have decided it's time for you to officially join the pack."

"Really?" Simon asked. "I thought you guys only thought of me as a pack mule…"

Alec shrugged. "Just want to make sure you're dedicated to this. It's not easy being a werewolf and having to keep such a big secret from your family. It's a lot."

"Am I allowed to tell them? My mom and sister I mean?" he asked.

"You can…though they might not believe you," Alec answered.

"How did Magnus react when you told him?"

"Well he thought he was hallucinating at first. A wolf doesn't just randomly show up in your living room at two in the morning…and then I shifted back into this form and he passed out from shock then after a few deep breaths and making sure that he was in fact not having a mental break with reality, I told him everything and he was surprisingly easily accepting of it…though a few months later we hit a rough patch and we almost broke up but we got through and now, a year later and we're engaged and we're happy."

"You guys seem happy…"

Woolsey ran back over and shifted back to his human form and stretched a little shaking his head. "I followed the scent to a dead end. Nothing. Sorry."

"Worth a shot…Take Simon back to his place, I'm going to head back to the hospital and see if the kid's awake. Maybe ask him a few questions if the police haven't shut him down as another gang problem."

"With actions like that you could be a police officer," Woolsey told him.

"Isn't there already a branch of police force with just our kind populating it?" Alec asked. "I'm very happy with my current job."

"Never hurts to keep an open mind," he shrugged walking off with Simon.

Alec started walking back towards the park and faltered a little in step bringing a hand to his head feeling a little dizzy. He shook his head and regained his balance before going over to his car and getting in driving back to the hospital.

"How's Ragnor holding up?" Alec asked as Magnus joined him on the front steps of the brownstone and handed him a cup of coffee.

"I had to put a few sleeping pills in his tea to make him sleep. I've never seen him this distraught before…I think he really likes him, which you'd never imagine with Ragnor. He was always a ladies man," Magnus leaned his head on his shoulder.

"Really?" Alec asked.

"Oh yeah, a different girl every night," he answered. "Actually that's how we met. He tried hitting on my date one night when we went out clubbing. Which was fine because I spotted someone way more interesting than her and thus a friendship was born."

"I still can't believe you dated girls," Alec replied.

"I did a lot more than just date girls," Magnus smiled.

"Okay eww," Alec made a face. "Please let the conversation end there."

Magnus rolled his eyes and smiled. "You can be so adorably prudish."

"Forgive me for not wanting to hear you talk about sleeping with females and all their squishy bits and boobs and eww why are we still talking about this," he wrinkled his nose.

"Oh my gosh, you actually said squishy bits," Magnus laughed. "And for the record, men have squishy bits too."

"I like the men squishy bits more than females," Alec replied.

"Gross, romantics," Ragnor deadpanned stepping outside.

Magnus rolled his eyes. "I thought you were sleeping."

"Like I'm going to drink tea that you made with love," Ragnor shook his head. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

"I will never understand what Raphael sees in you," Magnus replied.

"My charming wit, good humor, great looks and the fact that we can spend hours talking-"

"You mean gossiping," Magnus interrupted.

"About our mutual dislike of your interests," Ragnor finished with a smirk. "Now if you excuse me, I am going to go and see him at the hospital. Alec, please collect your fiancé and get him off my stoop. I've had enough of him to last a lifetime."

"Have I told you how much I value our friendship," Magnus smiled. "I came to help you when you're upset and you kick me out."

"I know, it's great," Ragnor smiled and walked down the stairs.

"I will go and grab my bag and then we can go home," Magnus said standing up and taking their coffee cups back inside.

"You and Magnus are weird friends," Alec told him standing up.

He shrugged. "It's just how we are. Gives him a sense of normalcy you know? I don't want him to think that the schizophrenia is the only part of him that I see. He's a damn good tattoo artist and a damn good friend and that's what I want him to think of himself as."

Alec nodded. "Well I'm glad he has you in his life."

"He's also a good sense of entertainment," Ragnor smiled.

"Are you talking about me?" Magnus asked walking back out.

"Course not," Ragnor answered. "The earth does not revolve around you Magnus."

"Course it does, I'm fabulous. Why wouldn't it revolve around me?" Magnus smiled. "Tell Raphael I hope he feels better."

Ragnor gave him a mock two finger salute and got in his car. Alec took Magnus's hand and led him to his own car and held the car door open for him as he got in.

"Be honest with me…was Raphael jumped by werewolves?" Magnus asked once Alec was behind the wheel.

"Yes…but there is a chance he won't be infected like Simon was," Alec answered.

"So what happens until then?" He asked.

"We wait," he answered. "And see what happens. If he's not turned then he can have a normal life…if not…then," he shrugged a little.

He nodded a little. "You'll help him right? If…things…"

"Course I will," Alec told him. "Who am I if not the leader of a pack of wayward werewolves' right?"

Magnus leaned over and kissed his cheek. "You're also one of the best men that I know."

"I do my best," Alec smiled.
