"All you need to do is try her again tomorrow morning. Stressing isn't good for you or the baby, and you know that." Jace spoke up after I'd tried calling once again, sighing as I leaned into his embrace.

"Maybe you're right. She's probably just out with Julian or something, I'll try her again in the morning." I stated, yawning quietly whilst Jace chuckled.

"Let's just head to bed, you look exhausted." Jace offered, kicking his boots off before he began discarding his gear.

"Should I be offended by that?" I questioned whilst chuckling, cutting my laughter off as I felt a strong press against the side of my stomach that'd now become familiarly comforting.

"Wow, baby definitely says I should be offended by your comment." I grinned, hand pressing against the side of my stomach whilst a kick came in contact in the exact centre of my palm.

"Do you think she can hear us?" Jace questioned curiously, shrugging his shirt off before making his way over, body pressed closely against my own whilst he let his hand wander over my bump.

"Definitely. She always kicks harder when me or you are around." I stated, watching as Jace smiled widely.

"The fact that she's kicking makes everything seem so much more real now.." Jace trailed off, tucking a lose strand of hair behind my ear.

"Oh believe me, the throwing up and the aching back has made it feel pretty real to me, I can guarantee it." I nodded sarcastically, pulling the covers back before climbing into bed.

Jace was quick to pull me into his side, hand resting over my shoulder whilst I lay my head against his chest comfortably, the sound of his steady heartbeat causing me to drift off to sleep with ease..

"Los Angeles institute, we need to get there, now." I ordered, pointing my fingers at both shadowhunters that stood guarding the entryway of the grand hall.

"On such sudden notice? Sir, we-" One of them began to speak, but I really couldn't care less.

"Are you really talking back at me at a time like this? Knowing that I'm on edge, that I'm angered over the mess that those damn nephilim have caused here, the fact that they rescued my sister?" I shouted, enraged as I stalked over to the now wide eyed guard.

"N-no, of course not sir." He stuttered nervously, causing me to smirk as I felt the familiar source of power and domination curse through my veins at the sound of his terrified voice.

"Call for Alder. I need him to accompany me on this sudden mission." I ordered, mocking the guard the second I included the word sudden in my demands whilst I glared.

"I want this place to look as good as new by the time I get back. It's been almost a week, seriously, what is taking you so long?" I huffed in annoyance, staring at the mess that'd been left lingering in my castle.

Blood was splattered all across the stone walls as well as the floor, decorative demon establishments torn down, doors kicked in which were covered in demon ichor and poison, making me scrunch my noise up at the smell of death that everything reeked of, which wouldn't usually bother me.

But today, I was in a mood. And when I'm in a mood, anything and everything bothers me.

"The warlock stained my carpet. Brilliant, absolutely fantastic." I sighed in annoyance, noticing the green demon ichor that covered the dark red carpet that ran from the throne all the way down to the huge double doors.

"If this mess isn't cleaned up by the time I return, both your heads will be hung up outside to replace the broken gargoyles. Are we clear?" I questioned, earning quick nods in return whilst I stalked out of the room.

"You requested my presence, sir?" Alder questioned, making an appearance in the hall, belt full of weapons strapped tightly around his waist.

"We're going to the Los Angeles institute." I shrugged, informing him as  he followed me down the stone cold hall.

"When?" He questioned, footsteps echoing through the hall whilst I turned around to glare at him in annoyance.

"Now." I stated clearly, bursting into the only wooden door that the fortress contained, making my way over with a deciding pace towards the only warlock that was granted access inside my castle, seeing as he'd wisely sided with me and the rest of my army.

"I need a portal to the institute in Los Angeles. Now." I ordered, crossing my arms over my chest whilst I waited for him to do as told, tapping my booted foot impatiently.

"I thought you wanted me to-" he questioned confusedly, turning around in his seat whilst I waved a dismissing hand at him as I shook my head.

"Forget the tracking spell for a short while, I need a portal opened up, and I need it now." I stated, watching as the warlock nodded hesitantly, which only angered me all the more.

"Finally." I breathed out, letting my hands fall to my sides as a shimmering light soon filled up the dark room, glaring at the warlock for taking up so much of my time before stepping through, with Alder following closely behind me.

The portal opened up straight in front of the the doors that lead to the Los Angles institute near the sun setting over the sea.

"Last time I was here, I turned the place upside down." I smirked, sighing in satisfaction whilst I stared at the huge building, watching as the glamour peeled away, revealing the sort of safe heaven that protected shadowhunters.

"What is it that we are actually here for, sir?" Alder questioned as I stepped through the gates, making my way up towards the huge doors.

"I'm here to seize something, as well as some information off of a young couple, maybe torture them a bit to have at least some fun." I shrugged, not giving off much information, like I always did.

Alder reached up to knock on the huge rune covered doors, but with a horrified glare, I slapped his hand away immediately.

"We're the bad guys, we don't knock. We make an entrance." I grinned wickedly, shattering the glass windows that stood at the front of the building, the sound of screams filled with pure terror sounding like music to my ears.
