He was scared. Scared for Alec. Scared for what would happen. It wasn’t often he would ever say he was scared but this was one of those rare times.

“He’s my father, he’s Asmodeus. He’ll kill you.” He pressed his forehead to Alec’s as he whispered, praying that the young male would listen to him.

“I’m not scared of him. I lost you once, Magnus. I can’t do it again.” Alec spoke, slightly louder that the warlock, “I love you too much and I’m far too selfish.”

He couldn’t repeat what had happened. He wouldn’t. Not now, not ever. Magnus was everything to him. Swallowing, the shadowhunter turned his gaze to Asmodeus, “You can’t have him.”

“If you’re not scared of him, you’re an idiot, Alexander.” His face fell and shoulders slumped as Alec’s attention switched to the demon who’d been stood watching with an amused smirk.

“There’s not much you can do to stop me. If I want him, I’ll take him. If I want you, I’ll take you.” Asmodeus responded, stepping forwards.
