Owned- Part 5

Some song playing on the speaker was the only thing to be heard in the quiet loft. Alec was softly petting the fluffy cat, the continuous rubbing motion calming both the animal and the shadowhunter. It was simple day, as simple as a day with you being a warlock’s pet could be but, it was simple enough for Alec to forget that his life was messed up, and just let himself get lost in the domestic environment.

The door creaked open, a shadow peered into the room. Alec could bet he saw something close to fondness in the golden cat eyes but he could not be sure in the dark room. Nonetheless, he looked in his owners eyes, hand not stopping their motion but he tensed up just a little bit.

“Stay inside. And do not come out unless I tell you to. I have some important people coming tonight.”, Magnus said, more like ordered, before he turned and the door shut with a soft thud.

Alec wanted to argue, he was not weak. But he realized that maybe Magnus was not protecting him. Maybe he just felt embarrassed to have someone like Alec as his pet.

This was highly unlikely given Magnus treated him so preciously a few days, touching him so intimately, calling him his baby, but the thought still made his chest hurt and his heart clench. He did not know when it happened but he was getting attached to the warlock. Every praise, every teasing remark, every joke and every caring action made Alec weak and feel utterly special, something he had never felt before.

And now to think that the man could be embarrassed or disgusted with him made Alec just want to curl up and cry. Preferably in the chest of the beautiful man.

Alec sighed, he did not want to over think and get a panic attack again. So he just put the cat down (who showed his annoyance by scratching him) and laid down to take a short nap.

“What makes you think you are in any position to make demands?”, Magnus said, cocking his eyes as he eyed the two Seelies.

“Our Queen can provide you with even more power. You can be ruler of the whole Down-”

“I am the ruler of the whole Downworld, sweety.”, Magnus corrected.

“You do not have the control over Seelie lands!”, Kaelie hissed, glaring at the warlock.

“And I do not want it. Honestly, you faeries are just so… what’s the word? Ah, stupid.”, Magnus mocked, clicking his fingers. “Ego and pride has blinded all of you. I do not want to rule over people who cannot accept the reality.”

“The reality is that our Queen can kill you-”, Kaelie screamed but Meliorn hushed her.

“You should not be talking about being blinded by ego and pride.”, Meliorn uttered, trying to look confident but no one could fool Magnus.

“We are nor delusional, neither oblivious to the things going on in the world. We accept defeated as gracefully as we accept victory.”, answered the vampire standing behind Magnus.

Magnus smirked, “You have trained the fledgling well, Raphael.”

Raphael smiled proudly, nodding at Magnus and then giving the young vampire a soft smile.

“As much as I like the sweet talk, we are here to make the deal.”, Meliorn said, making Magnus roll his eyes. “You don’t have to take quick decision, you can think all you want. And we can help you with that.”, Meliorn said, giving Kaelie a look and turning to leave.
