Alec Lightwood Shadowhunters Novels & Stories

It was humanoid but wrong, its limbs too long and its eyes glowing with an unnatural light. Ethan lunged at it without hesitation, his claws flashing as he tore into the creature. But more shadows were pouring in, their forms slipping through cracks and crevices like smoke. The library was quickly becoming a battlefield. “Sasha, focus!” Alaric shouted as he flung a fireball at one of the shadows, the flames illuminating the room in brief, flickering bursts. “She’s coming!” And then, as if summoned by his words, Lilith appeared. She stepped through the shattered window, her movements slow and deliberate. Her silver eyes locked onto Sasha, and a cruel smile curved her lips.

I asked. "Well, tell me what they are about?" Hector replied as he stood up and grabbed one of the books off the nightstand. "What about this one?" he asked, holding up Alec, the Lycan King, who was my ultimate love. I took a breath as my face flushed before I began explaining the book as quickly as possible. "Umm, it's basically 50 Shades of Gray meets Twilight," I sighed as I shrugged my shoulders. Hector looked at me perplexed; it was obvious that he was not understanding what I was saying.

How the same man I saw unconscious had walked in here like a damn miracle. He leaned closer. “Alpha Alaric,” he said, careful with his volume. “He had a pact with my father. A real one. The kind they seal with blood and teeth. He got wind of the war. He’d already been watching Lucas, but he needed proof. So he used someone... someone with darker magic. Enough to rip Olga down.” My breath stuttered. That name still crawled over my skin like a parasite. “But this?” Alec’s voice dropped to a low murmur. He touched my face. “This was you. All of it. You marked me. If you hadn’t, I’d be gone. Help came too late. But you kept me here.”

One hand gripped the back of her neck, forcing her still as he pounded into her mercilessly. His eyes found mine instantly, a slow, satisfied smirk curving his lips. “Get a seat, love. And watch me.” Without hesitation, I slid into the comfortable sofa facing the bed, crossing one leg over the other as I removed my cap. Resting my hands on the armrest as I watched him like he asked. After all, this was my life as the Alpha’s Shadow. Doing whatever he asked, even when it ate at me.

I was staring at a monster, a literal nightmare, and I was just a girl who knew nothing about any of this. "Conner!" Derek’s voice was sharp now. He grabbed Conner’s shoulder again, harder this time. "What?!" Conner spun around, a low growl vibrating through the room. "I am dealing with this creature!" "We have to go. Now," Derek said, his face dead-white. "I am not finished!" "Your father is dead, Conner!" Derek yelled, his voice cracking. "The Alpha... he's gone." The room went deathly silent. Conner froze. The terrifying ripples in his skin slowed, then stopped. He looked at Derek, his red eyes wide with a sudden, devastating hollow. The monster seemed to drain out of him, leaving behind

The powerful engine roared to life, launching the sedan forward onto the empty highway just as three dark, armed silhouettes emerged from the mouth of the alleyway they had left behind. "Shit! You're heavily bleeding!" the man suddenly swore, his calm demeanor fracturing into genuine shock as he glanced across the center console and caught sight of the dark, widening stain completely saturation her left shoulder. Seven opened her mouth, intending to ask him who he was, how he had found her, and why on earth he was driving a vehicle that cost more than her entire apartment building. But the words died in her throat. The edges of her vision began to fray, dissolving into a thick, unstoppable b

“Everyone knows that he likes to walk around like he owns the world, doing whatever he wants, but he is smart enough to know that he can’t come into this realm and take what belongs to another Alpha King. What you’re doing is treason, and I’m starting to believe there’s more to this than just getting her heart’s blood.” My mind flashed back to the clearing in the woods where the children made the men kneel. I clutched my chest as a shiver went through my body when I remembered what the pressure felt like against my chest. There was something oddly familiar about them, and at the same time, I was terrified of the powers they possessed. When I banished Ayla from the pack, she hadn’t said anyth

"I see a pack that has gone soft. I see a 'Luna' who died a traitor. And I see a woman who smells like ancient power and city perfume." Alaric stepped into the light of the dying fire. "I didn't come for the funeral. I came for the prize. The Shadow Alpha tells me you have three little silver-eyed pups who can command the elements. My pack is short on heirs, and I think I’d like to see if a Lycan Queen tastes as sweet as the stories say." Killian’s roar was instantaneous. He shifted mid-leap, his massive charcoal wolf crashing into Alaric before the Storm-Claw Alpha could even finish his insult.

Damien watches me with suspicion, Lucien with curiosity, Sebastian with amusement, Ethan with concern, and Alexander… Alexander with an intensity that makes my wolf grow restless. This alliance is more dangerous than I imagined. And the moment I misstep… someone could kill me. Later that night, Damien whispers to Alexander in the shadows, low enough that no one else hears: “She’s hiding something.” Alexander tilts his head, amber eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. “And I will uncover it,” he says. Inside my room, I hear the words in my mind. A chill runs down my spine. He’s hunting me. And the hunt has just begun.

I had no doubt that they would smell me behind the tree, but the shadows gave me the advantage of knowing what I was up against before they could see me. The three men stepped out of the woods, one radiated more power than the other two I could immediately tell that he was the Alpha. As I was observing them something strange happened, a blue light engulfed each of them, somewhat surrounding them in different hues. ‘Shadow, why are they glowing?’ I asked worriedly, feeling uneasy by the sudden change, people never glowed before. ‘They are of pure heart, they mean no harm, they are honest and trustworthy.’ she responded in the soothing voice that I have come to love in the few times that I'd h
