Not by Blood - BEING REWRITTEN IN SEPARATE STORY

Chapter Thirty

"With what Magnus? The wedding?" Tessa asked.

"No." Magnus shook his head. "Maryse and I already arranged everything. The wedding is all set, we're ready. But Alexander, you all know that he is my soulmate. He's James and Etta and George, all of them. He asked me, he asked me to make him immortal. At first I thought about asking Clary to make a rune for him, but last night, he tried to use James' magic. I want to make Alexander a warlock. I need your help to do it, I can't perform the spell myself. I'll need all of you."

"Of course I'll help." Wesley piped up.

"Me too." Catarina nodded.

"I'll do whatever you need, Magnus." Tessa told him.

"When are we doing this, exactly?" Wesley asked, sitting up and taking a gulp of his wine.

"I'll need to gather the ingredients and prepare Alexander for the transition. Maybe a week or two?"

"Sounds good." Catarina said with a smile. "I'm happy for you Magnus, we all are."

"I'm happy too." Magnus told her. "Alec makes me so happy."

Tessa opened her mouth to say something but Magnus' phone rang. He fished it out of his pocket and saw that it was an unknown number. He frowned and answered. "Hello?"

"Mr. Bane?" A frantic voice asked from the other end of the line. "My name is Andrew Underhill. I'm Head of Security at the New York Institute. I wanted to inform you, as The Head of the Institute's fiancé, that Mr. Lightwood has collapsed. He's been taken to the infirmary but he's unresponsive. The doctors think he'll be fine, they can't find a reason for him collapsing. But you've been given permission to portal directly into the entry hall of the institute if you would like to, I'm waiting for you there to take you to see him."

"I'll be right there, Mr. Underhill. Thank you for calling." Magnus hung up. "Alexander collapsed. I'll call you all later and coordinate the spell."

Magnus waved his hand and a portal appeared behind him. Magnus practically ran into it. He walked into the entrance hall of the Institute and spotted a tall, handsome, blonde Shadowhunter waiting for him.

"Mr. Bane -" He started to say.

"Take me to Alexander." He interrupted the man.

"Of course." The man smiled sympathetically and turned to lead Magnus to the infirmary. Magnus anxiously followed the Head of Security to his fiancé.

They rounded some corners and went down hallways until they finally made it to a long desk with a few doorways behind it. Underhill simply rounded the desk and opened the fourth door, holding it open with his back and allowing Magnus to pass him and enter the room.

The room wasn't white like a typical hospital room. The walls were a light green, pastel, and there were charts and diagrams hung up. There was a bed in the middle of the room with tall nightstands on either side. Magnus was surprised at how homey the small room felt.

And then his eyes fell on his Alexander, and suddenly the room didn't feel so homey. The love of his life was laid in the bed, attached to several machines. He was pale, he was still, but he was still breathing and in that moment, that is all that mattered to Magnus.

"Care to dance?" Etta turned around and saw the most beautiful man she'd ever seen. He was taller than her by about a foot, he had beautiful golden skin and deep brown eyes.

He was smiling at her, the look in his eyes, it was almost like he already knew her, but Etta was sure that she'd never met this man. She would have remembered him.
