Moni threw her pen across Damon office, almost yanking her hair out as another wave of self-hatred reached her through her best friend bond with Damon. It had been the same for the last two days, a constant flow of anger, desperation, pain and self-loathing, over and over again, interspersed with short periods of numbness, a void of nothing where he clammed up and retreated into himself, trying to hide from it all.She couldn't take any more of it. She was just about holding the station together. She had begged, cajoled, shouted and tried to bribe him into leaving his room, to come back to work and try and put it behind him, he wouldn't listen though. She jumped to her feet and stormed through the station, glaring at anyone who dared look at her, maybe it was time to order him to pull himself together, it was for his own good!Damon stared up at the crystal chandelier hanging above the foot of his bed, counting, constantly counting. 972. The chandelier had 972 crystal drops. There were
"There hasn't been a mixed blood living in the head city for two, three hundred years?" Damon said his eyebrows almost in his hairline "not since the ending of the last rules. A step in the right direction indeed" he said with a nod of approval. "It seems Jasmine being made leader was the right decision, she has improved our organization relations vastly since she took over. Who knows, there might even come a day when a new agreement is forged between us, and the mixed blood." Damon said. He wondered what Clary would have to say about a mixed blood living in head city before banishing the thought as the hole in his stomach became just that bit more jagged."Yes, no thanks to you," Moni said with a proud smile. " You're the one who has forged agreement after agreement between station and mixed one worldwide, don't be giving Jasmine all the credit. I have Sofia under investigation, she was the one with the drug" she said when she saw his questioning look."When you say she was found with
Damon dropped Adira hand the second they stepped from the circle, darting toward the door of the bar they had landed in front of before he was yanked back. He spun on the spot with a snarl, glaring at his best friend before getting a grip on himself."We need a plan, Damon. You can't just go dashing off every-time" Moni said, keeping a firm hold on his arm when he started to turn towards the door "she could be dangerous, we need to prepare" she said, her eyes snapping to rose when she heard her scoff "the report said she was holding them hostage" she snapped."Whatever, there's nothing dangerous about her when she drinks," Adira said, rolling her eyes at the ridiculous woman "you two can stay out here coloring your wings in, my sister needs me," she said, stalking past the pair of wolfs and throwing the bar door open. She huffed when Damon darted past her through the open door.Damon dashed into the dimly lit bar, stopping in his tracks when his mat...the fairy scent wrapped around him
"It isn't like that" Moni growled, having to reign herself in at the sneer on the woman's face as she watched Damon "he didn't just decide Clary wasn't good enough, it is against our organization law to mate a mixed blood, you don't know the consequences. Thank the God it doesn't happen that often, not that that helps Damon" she said as she watched her best friend. It was going to hurt when he had to let go. "Your organization obviously needs to talk more," May said, turning to Moni with a curious look on her face, consequences? "It happens a lot more often than you think. You think this is something unique? That he is the first one to find out his mate is a mixed blood? Trust me, I've seen it before, it doesn't happen that often? That would be funny if it wasn't so sad" she said, smirking at the surprised look on Moni face. Originals! They think they know everything.Moni stared at May, what was she talking about? Of course, it was a rare occurrence! if Originals had been mating mixe
Damon eyes darted around, searching for a bucket or a bowl, anything for his Omeg... for Clary to be sick in, he smiled gratefully when Adira waved her hand and produced a bucket, handing it to him where he knelt on the floor in front of the Alpha. He took the glass from Clary and shoved the bucket under her face just in time and started rubbing soothing circles into Clary back as he clutched the bucket to her, his eyes slamming closed just at that small contact.Moni pulled Adira away from the pair, both of them watching as Damon removed the bucket and used the hem of his shirt to wipe Clary mouth. "I need your number; we have discovered a few things over the last few days that Clary needs to be aware of. We need to be able to contact you to arrange a meeting" she said as she watched Clary slump into Damon arms when her stomach was empty."So, Damon is just going to leave her, again?" Adira asked, watching Damon brush his fingers through her sister's hair, she just didn't get it! "How
Clary woke with a groan as what felt like a herd of some monster stampeded through her head. She kept her eyes firmly shut, seeing the red glow of what the midday sun through her closed eyelids was probably, deciding she wanted no part of it! She rolled over and buried her head under the pillow, trying to think through the pounding, wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep and forget everything that was going on, it seemed her sister had other ideas though."Get up Clary," Adira said, barging into the room. She pulled the pillow off her head where she was trying to hide and tossed it aside, glaring down at her. "Open your eyes and drink this," she said shaking her until she opened her eyes, determined to stop her from sinking into the bottom of another bottle.Clary glared right back when she blinked up at her standing over her, right up until she saw what was in her hand. She practically snatched the glass and downed it in one disgusting gulp. Her hangover potion was the most dis
"Adira and Clary, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Seth asked, stepping forward to shake hands with them both. "I'm assuming it has something to do with last night. A few wolves have been in to complain" he said when he saw the look on Adira face. He had spoken with May and taken her word for it when she had told him that nobody had been hurt."Seth" Clary greeted the pack leader, pulling Aadira down into the booth with her when Seth offered them a seat "yes, it is, I'm so sorry Seth, I've been having a bit of a hard time lately and I lost it. It won't happen again, you have my word" she said earnestly, looking the Alpha in the eye."The complaints were more about the Royal blood poking their noses in actually," Seth said with a laugh "they don't like the thought of originals hanging out in the bars they frequent. I heard about... your mate rejecting you, I'm so sorry Clary. how are you holding up?" he asked as gently as he could.Seth had wondered if he would have to suggest to the oth
"Hey, I'm not giving up on him," Clary said, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes and pulling a determined expression onto her face. "If Damon thinks he ca... what?" she asked when her brother eyes went wide."Damon? Damon is your mate?" David asked, staring at his sister, he didn't miss the tightening of Clary hands around her stomach or the surprised expression on his face and the faces of his siblings."Yes, wait, do you know him?" Clary asked, gripping Davids's hand tightly and glancing at her sister and brother-in-law, seeing her surprised, mystified expressions mirrored on their faces."Not personally," David said, his mind racing. "I have met him a few times though, I spent the last three years in Australia. I was... dating the werewolf leader for a little while. Damon was there reforming the station in state, I went along to several meetings when they were coming to an agreement" he said."You've met him?" Clary almost yelped, reigning herself in when her sister practically j
