STORY CREATED BY lolieslife

"What happened?" Magnus asked as Clary and Jace were struggling to hold Luke up.

"He was attacked!" Simon exclaimed as he followed the two in.

"He needs a warlock. He needs you." Clary said.

"Put him here," Magnus said as he pointed towards the couch

"Where are you..." Luke mumbled, still unconscious.

"Luke." your sister tried, but he didn't wake up.

"I can't find you. Where are... where are you? Where are you?" he kept mumbling.

You tore you gaze away from your stepfather to look for Raphael, but he had vanished in thin air.

"(Y/N)" Jace came up to you, making you turn your attention towards him "I'm so glad you're okay"

He hugged you and you were a bit taken back but hugged him back. "Of course I'm okay. I can defend myself too, remember"

"I know, I know, I just wouldn't have forgiven myself if something happened to you" he explained.

"It wouldn't have been your fault-"

"I know, it would've been Alec's" He huffed, cutting you off.

You frowned at that "No, it wouldn't have been his fault either. I'm still a human being with rights. It was my own choice to come here. Are you and Alec okay?"

"What? Yeah, of course" he dismissed your question rather quickly.

"Listen there is something I want to talk about with you" You started, but got interrupted by Luke growling.

You both get back to Luke's side and Jace helps Simon hold him down.

"Where do you think you're going?" Simon asked as he struggled to hold the older man in his grip.

"Hold him down," Magnus ordered as he went to grab something and put it in Luke's mouth " We don't have a lot of time. It'll take a few moments to take effect."

"What's happening to him?" You asked as you stared at him in confusion.

"Random werewolf transformation. It's a side effect of the poison in the alpha bite." Magnus explained as he went over his words.

"Werewolf? Of course, he is" you mumbled as you connected the dots.

"You okay?" Jace asked as he saw your sudden puzzled state.

"Just wondering how many more people have lied to me my whole life" You sighed as you stepped away from Luke who was calm again.

"They did it to protect you" He tried.

"Protect me from what? My own emotions? Because that's what happened at the end" You said "Anyway, as I was saying earlier. I need to talk to you about something"

"Yeah, sure" He encouraged you to go on.

"Magnus found a way to get my emotions back," You said, waiting for his response.

"That's great! How? Let's find the stuff we need and do it!" Jace smiled and genuine smile.

"That's the thing, I don't know if I want too" You mumbled, making his smile immediately turn into a frown.

"Why?"

"Because aren't Shadowhunters supposed to have no feelings? And besides, I don't know how I'll react when I have them. Who knows maybe I'm an over-emotional person" You explained all your worries.
