[TYSM FOR THE 17K AND I AM SO SO SORRY FOR NOT UPLOADING SO MUCH! The next chapter will be uploaded by the 50 votes!]

I looked back at Maryse who had slightly an amusing smirk on her face. I felt the blood streaming to my head and I felt like the oxygen getting taken away from me.

"What do you mean?" I asked and I was still surprised that I could come out of my words. Alec pushed me slightly away and looked at his mother in anger.

"Mother, stop this nonsense!" He shouted in anger. His voice was full of frustration and my eyes caught his hand shaking. He was scared, he was clearly scared. Something was wrong. I could tell. I wasn't stupid. Jace walked over to me with confusion on his face and the rest of the shadowhunters started to leave.

"Alexander! You do not talk to your mother that way! What the hell has this girl done to you?!" Maryse shouted angrily. She looked at me and I knew if Alec wasn't standing between us, she would have tried to kill me.

"If you want it or not. Clary and I are together. Get over yourself." Alec said and my heart jumped when he clarified that we were together. We never spoke about it... I never knew he wanted us to be together this quick. I almost forgot what Maryse was talking about until her words came out of her mouth.

"Mark my words, girl. You will regret this." Maryse said and I looked away when her brown eyes were staring into mine. She walked away and left me clueless. I still wanted to know what this was about and looking at Alec, I had no idea if he would actually tell me.

"I am so sorry, Clary." Alec said as he held my hand. I frowned but said nothing and let him hug me. I could still feel the fear through our parabatai bond. Alec wasn't himself...

"What was she talking about?" I asked and looked at Alec, who just told his mother that I was his girlfriend. My heart stopped when I knew that Jace was here. He was the big protective brother and I had no idea how he would react on this.

"Nothing, she just does not want us to be together." Alec said and I could feel that he was lying to me. Alec was lying to me... I gave him a small smile and nodded. I could see that he was relieved when I agreed with his false statement. He came closer and kissed me softly on my lips.

"I am sorry." He whispered and I smiled but said nothing. I had no idea how to tell him that everything that just happened was about something but what would be the point if he would deny it? I don't want him to feed me more lies... I just need the truth from him... I heard Jace clear his throat and Alec let go of my hands - and looked at my brother.

"What the hell is wrong with your mother, Lightwood?" Jace asked furious. He came closer to Alec and pushed him slightly on his chest. Alec did nothing and just looked defeated at Jace. Almost looking so guilty that he wouldn't save his own ass. I held Jace's hand which made him look at me.

"Stop this." I said throughout my teeth. Jace clenched his jaw but listened to what I said. He moved away from Alec and walked away - and Liz followed him. Alec was looking down, completely silent.

"I am going to talk to mother." I heard Izzy said and Alec quickly looked up.

"No, don't!" He exclaimed. Confused, I looked at him. What the hell was going on with him? Why did he act so shady?

"Please, Alec. Tell me what is going on." I almost begged him and now Alec his eyes were focused on me. He shook his head and showed me his fakest smile.

"Nothing is wrong. It's just mum. She can mess with your head..." He said quickly and nervous. If this was the version of Alec lying - and being afraid, I do not like it at all.
