Jonathan's Fraternal Twin Sister (Alec Lightwood Love Story)

Chapter 9: Clary learns about Jonathan

Clary's POV

I ran after Hodge as he left the Institute after Crystal walked through the portal with Valentine and an unconscious Jace. I only made one stop by the infirmary to hand Isabelle Crystal's ring that she kicked my way before she went with Valentine.

"She went with Valentine through the portal. She kicked that toward me before she left. Track her with it." I took off running again. I jumped back as I saw a wolf attack Hodge after he attacked me when I had him cornered in the alley.

"You can come out now Clary." I heard Luke say. He took me by the hand and led me somewhere.

"You're a werewolf." I said to him when we entered the building.

"Yes, I am." Luke states.

"You killed Hodge," I said remembering him attacking him.

"No. I hurt him pretty badly though. I went to get his body and it was gone; he must have dragged himself away."

"You tore at his shoulder, I saw you." I told him.

"Yes, though it's worth noting he tried to kill you at the time, but did he hurt anyone else?" He asked. I sank my teeth into my lip. I tasted dried blood from when Hugo attacked me.

"Jace, Hodge knocked him out and handed him to Valentine." I told him. "Crystal went as well." I added as an afterthought.

"To Valentine?" Luke asked, astonished. "And Crystal went with him willingly. I knew he handed over the Cup to Valentine when I heard you talking to Hodge, but I didn't realize that Crystal would go with her father."

"Before you jumped him." I state understandingly. As the door opened and a tall man came in followed by a tiny woman.

"Clary, meet my second and third in command, Gretel and Alaric."

"We have met." Alaric states.

"We have?" I asked.

"At the Hotel Dumort, you put your knife in my ribs." Alaric explains.

"I... I'm sorry?" I say as more of a question.

"Don't be. It was an excellent throw." He slid a hand into the breast pocket of his shirt and removed Jace's dagger, with its winking red eye and held it out to me. "I think this is yours? Don't worry. I cleaned the blade."

I took it as Luke chuckled. "In retrospect the raid on the Dumort wasn't as well planned as it might have been. I had set a group of my wolves to watch you and go after you if you got into any danger. I guess I shouldn't have tried to underestimate Crystal and her friends." Luke said.

Gretel leaves to get a first aid kit with Alaric trailing behind her, so they could tend to both mine and Luke's injuries. "Did my mother and sister know?"

"Know what?"

"That you're a werewolf."

"Yes, you mom's known since it happened. Crystal found out when she started her training with the Lightwood siblings."

"And none of you thought to mention it to me."

"Clary, I would've told you. So would Crystal. But your mom was adamant that you knew nothing of the Shadow World or Shadowhunters until you were 18. Crystal couldn't break her promise and there were a lot of nights that Crystal would either stay at my place or at the Institute." Luke tells me. "I don't know what you've learned--"

"A lot." I tell him. "I know my mother was a Shadowhunter. I know she was married to Valentine and had Crystal not long after. I know she and Crystal disappeared with the Mortal Cup and went into hiding although mom chose to let Crys continue training as a Shadowhunter. I know Mom would take me to Magnus every few years and have my Sight blocked. I know that when Valentine tried to get you to tell him where the Cup was in exchange for my mom's life, you told him she didn't matter to you." I listed off the majority of what I had learned in the fast few days.
