"emotions cloud judgement "A.L

"i got you"

"So youre telling me that valentines daughter is out running in streets of new york while valentine is alive and thriving?" Adalind asks with disbelief

" shes in good hands" izzy reassures
" jace is with her"

" if you say so"

Alec walks towards them .
" i have something you need to see" he says as a picture of dead bodies shows up on the screen

" thats the jayde wolf warewolf head quarters , where did you get this? izzy asks

" leader of the wolf pack , they were attacked "alec answers

" your friends with lucien greymark?" adalind seemed surprised " an ex circle member"

" why not me and alec investigate this-"

" valentines probably behind this . I need to see for myself" adalind began to walk away " are you comming ?" Directing at alec . He nodded following the brown haired girl who seemed to like to be in control.

" your parents trying to set you up"

"Yea"

" let me guess not your idea huh?"

" no not really"

" my parents tried to set me up"

" yeah, and how did that work out for ya"

" not well for them . I made my own path and married the love of my life, jon monterveyday"

" together we were going to run our institute but he was killed. Everything was ripped away my love, my work , everything . "

" piece of advice . In this line of work the only thing we are falling in love with is the work itself"

" addy , im sorry "

This was the first time he called her that. But it gave her some type of comfort.

" its got some characteristics of a foresaken . It was human but it was runed" adalind said

" i didnt notice" luke honestly said " it attacked like it had a plan"

" we will take it back to the institute, see what we can find out"

" wait hold on . I get that i called you . Well alec infact . But what i dong want is someone coming in here being in charge"

" thats kinda her thing" alec winked at adalind

"Look we are all on the same side her"

" yeah and back at the institute we have a higly trained operator "
Alec said finishing adalinds sentence

"Do you have one here ... at this Chinese restaurant ?" She asks with doubt

"Fine you win "

" like always"

" do you think this is valentines work" alec asks breaking the tension once again helping adalind

"Yes"

"Who do you think hes after?"

"Honestly me"

"So you think valentines going after ex circle members?" Adalind said catching on

"Yes or anyone whos betrayed him"

"We will put down wards for hodge " alec said

" and your parents" adalind added . She soon realised he didnt know due to his facial expression

" did they conceal that from you?"
Adalind saddend to see the broken loom on alecs face.

"We need to make sure no magic was used for this . I will call magnus bane" adalind stated

" maguns bane to come to the institute?"

" yes there a problem"

" no"

" did you know Magnus bane and my cousin invented the portal?"

" no , i will add that to the list of things i didnt know" alec coldly said walking of

Adalind couldnt help but feel guilty

'Alec' she called out before reaching for his arm, making them be face to face.

" im sorry . You shouldn't have found out like this"

" you mean from you. I shouldn't have found out from you"

" look alec i didnt know "

" thats it. Thats literally it. You dont know. First the thing with jace and now this"

" im truely sorry" she looked down
" its not my place to question the way you feel about anyone . And i didnt mean to tell you that your parents are ex circle members "

"Okay . I mean you did help me by telling me . I'd guess they would have never told me if it werent for you"

" look although it seems bad it doesn't mean that they are bad people. They just made a bad mistake "

" they lied to us. To me and izzy. They said we have to restore our family name when they were the ones who tarnished it" adalind put her hand on his shoulder . They were gazing at eachother. Silence filled the room but it wasnt awkward. It felt natural. They could stare at eachother all day even at bad times like this. It calmed him.

" by the way... i dont like jace that way" alec said after calming down. Trying to make it clear to her.

" really?" She said smirking "prove it"

He looked in her eyes . Hesitent .

He closed his eyes. Screw it. He kissed her. Their lips moving in sinc . What did he have to lose anyway? Plus he wanted to . Something told him its okay . Eventhough this girl is irritating sometimes and there was literally a dead body next door this is where his first kiss was. He was mad but this girl helped him get through it. She understood .

"Think about yourself. Do whats in your heart" was all adalind heard before walking in on a shirtless alec, training . Next to him stood the high warlock of Brooklyn called Magnus bane , holding the check for the wards.

Adalind cleared her throat , gaining all attention on her.
" im here for the check"

" right" magnus says as he hands her the checks and walks away
Adalind continues to stare at the sight of alecs sweaty abs.

" im going to inform maryse that no magic was used with the foresaken" adalind says

Alec nodds and adalind walks away .

"Shhh its okay" i said comforting him " im here.... i got you"
