Shadowhunters Imagines & Preferences

Alec ~ Cheater

Quick question before I start: would you guys want a face reveal? 

*******************

You were fast on your way to Alec's room, basically buzzing with excitement as you struggled under the weight of the large box holding Alec's anniversary gift.

The fact the two of you had made it to a year without hitting any serious bumps in the road was beyond you, what, with you being a mundane despite the fact that your sister, Clary, and your mother are Shadowhunters and him a Shadowhunter with a very mundane-disliking and incredibly proud family.

Strangely, though, Maryse actually kind of loved you, as did Robert. It was something about your personality that caught everyone's love and attention, even though you didn't realise it...

You had previously planned to gift swap later, but you were so excited you couldn't bare to wait a second more so...here you were, mere inches from Alec's bedroom door. Your hand pauses on the door handle as you hear a grunt, something heavy falling and muffled voices from inside...

Voices?

You dismiss your paranoia, figuring Alec was probably talking about a mission and dropped something, before opening the door and walking in...to see Alec on top of Clary...Alec's lips on her's...

They immediately jumped apart from each other, hurtling off the bed in separate directions, Alec's eyes widened, Clary's face ashamed and shocked and you...you were already in tears.

"Y/N, wait, it's not what it looks like!" Alec rushes, hurrying towards you

"No, stop!" you shout, raising your hand between the two of you, "Really? Because it looked like you were kissing my fucking sister!"

"No, Y/N-" Clary begins but closes her mouth when you send her a death glare

"Well, Happy fucking Anniversary" you spit, throwing the box to the floor, "Here's you gift...I hope she's worth it Alec because...I'm done. With both of you."

With that, you turn on your heel, storming out of the door and soon after, the institute...headed where? You had no idea, it just better be as far from there as possible.

Alec cautiously, numbly walked towards the slightly crumpled box, squatting down and untying the black silk ribbon before opening the box...to reveal a brand new bow and quiver. It was black and silver and sleek looking and it had A. G. Lightwood engraved into the side of the bow and the strap of the quiver.

A tear slipped down Alec's face, holding the bow in his hand gently, marvelling at the craftsmanship as he thought thoroughly over the past 5 minutes.

If only you'd known that Alec had been using a ladder to retrieve the gift he'd hidden for you, Clary had been speaking to him, wanting to see the gift and then he'd fallen...on top of Clary.

He had never kissed her.

"He cheated on me, Isabelle" you recite to Izzy over the phone, huffing, "There's no coming back from that, not for me"

Izzy had been trying for the past month to get you to come back to the Institute and make up with her brother. She said it was all a big mistake but you just couldn't believe her. You know what you saw.

Since everything had happened, you'd left the Institute and your sister behind and had been living with Magnus, you're closest friend outside of the Institute. He had welcomed you with open arms and comforted you as you tried to get over the heartbreak caused by Alec and the betrayal by your sister. You'd only stayed in contact with Izzy because she had been there for everything, even before yourself and Alec's relationship but you just couldn't bring yourself to forgive Alec nor Clary. Let alone speak to them at all.
