A/N: Just a heads up to make reading easier, some of the more intimate parts of this chapter switch back and forth between Alec and Magnus' perspectives.

Alec's eyes fluttered open. Filtered sunlight shone through the white gauzy curtains, rays of bright light stretching across the gleaming hardwood floor. He couldn't help but smile. He felt warm and safe. Happiness and contentment filled him as he took in his surroundings.

The soft blue paint on the walls was soothing, the vase of red roses in the corner was comforting, the flowy curtains at the window were homey, they added the final touch to the beauty of their room. He had come to love this room. Despite what he had seen in his dreams of what may or may not happen in this room, he loved it.

The feel of his alpha's arm around his waist always made him feel safe and at peace. It had been a good night. They had made love the night before, just as they had the night before that and the night before that. There had been no horrible visions of what was to come. There had just been beautiful lovemaking and sweet dreams, dreams that filled him with hope and joy.

They had been at The Manor for four days and were due to go back to Haven that afternoon. He didn't want to go but he knew that he had to. His father had portaled out the day before after lunch to 'prepare for their return'. Neither he or his alpha wanted him going back until they were sure that he was fully recovered and had had a few days to rest, to 'take it easy' as Cat had said. She had gone back to Haven with his father.

He kept meaning to ask his alpha about Haven, to find out more, but something always seemed to get in the way. He'd never actually had the chance. And if he was honest with himself, at that moment, he didn't want to ask. He wanted to stay right where he was, warm and safe in his alpha's arms.

"Good morning, angel." Magnus said softly, pressing a kiss to the back of Alec's neck.

He had been waiting for him to wake up. His Shadowhunter had been sleeping peacefully and he hadn't wanted to risk waking him by trying to get up. Not that he wanted to get up. He was perfectly content right where he was watching the love of his life sleep soundly in his arms. Today was going to be a busy day. They were returning to Haven, something he knew his young warrior was dreading. His grandmother and uncle had left a sour taste in his sweet omega's mouth and his family on the defensive.

But they all knew that they had to go back. Too much of what his Alexander had seen in his dreams would take place there, so they would go back. They wouldn't do as Gideon Lightwood had done and hide themselves away. They knew that he had done it in the hopes that if he stayed hidden away that his visions of The Great Purge wouldn't come to pass. In the end it was that choice that had set the ball in motion.

His young warrior hadn't read much of Gideon Lightwood's journal yet, but of what he had read, of what all the omega Lightwood's had, Gideon Lightwood had just been the first. The visions he had had would have happened regardless, so they would go back. Go back and prepare.

"Good morning. How long have you been watching me?" Alec asked, trying to hide his smile.

"A bit. Not too long. Did you sleep well?"

"I did, actually." He said, turning in Magnus' arms. "I had the best dream."

"The future again?"

"I hope so." He said. Taking Magnus' hand in his own he slowly pushed his it down his belly, beneath the quilt, finally coming to rest at the erection tenting his boxers. "Maybe you can make my dream come true." He said softly.

Magnus couldn't help but marvel at his Shadowhunter. He had come so far since his first heat, barely eight weeks ago. He was growing bolder, more and more each day, and it thrilled him.

"I'll do my best. Why don't you tell me about this dream?" He asked, sliding his hand beneath the waistband of Alec's boxers, gently caressing his hardened length. "To make sure I get it right."

"I don't think I have to. I think you've read my mind." Alec breathed as Magnus gripped him.

Magnus suspected that he knew what his young warrior was after, the same thing he had been after every morning for the last three days. Releasing his grip on his sweet omega's cock he pulled his hand free, unable to hide his smirk when his lover whined in protest. Snapping his fingers he shed them both of their clothes, silencing the room.

"That's better." He murmured as he leaned down, claiming Alec's lips for a soft kiss as he retook his hold on his thick cock.

Alec hummed out his pleasure as he returned his warlock's soft kiss. He had been dreaming of his alpha every night, of his alpha rolling him over and slowly filling him, inch by beautiful inch, only to pound into him before he was done. Every morning he woke up wanting it, craving it. Needing it.

Using his Shadowhunters rapidly leaking pre-cum as a lube he stroked up and down his length, gently jerking him. He wanted his young warrior worked up and panting before he took him, before he rolled him over and filled him. It never took much. Licking his sweet omega's bottom lip he sought entrance, entrance that was instantly granted. He hummed out his own pleasure as his tongue met his love's. He loved the taste of his angel on his tongue. As always, he tasted divine.

The sensations bombarding him were exquisite. The soft pressure of his warlock's lips on his as he stroked his cock was beautiful. Pleasure was humming in his veins. He didn't hesitate when his alpha licked his bottom lip, granting him immediate entrance. Firework's went off in his head when their tongues met. He didn't fight his warlock for dominance, he was willing to let him take whatever he wanted. Fisting his hand in his alpha's silky smooth hair he pulled him closer.

Magnus couldn't stop his moan when his Alexander gripped his hair and pulled him closer. 'He's impatient this morning' he thought as he explored his love's mouth. Finding it hard to focus he broke the breath stealing kiss. Fighting for breath he rested his forehead on his Shadowhunters. He was pleased to find that he wasn't the only one fighting to catch his breath.

"Alpha, please." Alec pleaded, panting for breath from the breath stealing kiss and pleasure that was coursing through him from his warlock's hand jerking his length. He didn't want to cum this way. He wanted his alpha. He wanted him in him, filling him, fucking him.

Magnus couldn't resist his sweet omega. Releasing his grip on his straining cock he snapped his fingers, his stele appearing in his hand. He quickly activated his young warrior's intimacy rune. Tossing it aside he gripped his young love's hip, guiding him as he rolled over. He didn't need much guiding. Yes, he knew exactly what his angel wanted.

Alec was relieved when his warlock activated his intimacy rune. He was thrilled when he gripped his hip, but he didn't need the direction, he knew where he was going. In an instant he was in his new favorite position. Bracing himself on his arms he drew in his knees, spreading them for his alpha, just the way he liked them.

Magnus lost his breath at the sight of his sweet omega as he settled on his knees behind him. The beauty of his love with his knees spread and his ass in the air was a dream come true of his own. He loved taking his angel this way, filling him this way, fucking him this way. He couldn't stop himself from gently caressing the perfectly toned, firm ass laid out before him, an ass he ached to fill.

Alec wanted desperately to push back into his alpha's hands, to tell him to hurry, but he didn't. The soft waves of pleasure from his warlock's caresses were beautiful. And as much as one part of him wanted him to rush it, another bigger part of him didn't. He wanted to savor it. He wanted it to last, as long as it possibly could.

Snapping his fingers Magnus thoroughly lubed them both. He knew that his Shadowhunter had no patience for proper preparation or stretching, and that he preferred the stretch of penetration. But they both knew that he would have to go slow, to ease into it so as to not hurt his young love. Spreading his young warrior's perfect ass cheeks he slowly rubbed his slick dick between his angel's crack, teasing him. He smiled when he got that first beautiful moan.

Alec held his breath when he heard his warlock's fingers snap and felt the warm wet lube leaking from his entrance. He couldn't stop the moan that escaped him with his next breath when his alpha's cock slid up and down his crack. He knew his warlock was teasing him, but he didn't care. The feel of that cock sliding up and down his crack had a lovely tingle of pleasure and anticipation running down his spine.

Leaning forward Magnus ran his hands down from his love's ass to his back, kneading the taunt muscles in his sweet omega's lower back, knowing full well that his full length was pressed flush against him, into his crack.

"Alpha, please." Alec whimpered. He didn't know why he had been wanting this the way he had, why he had been needing it. He just knew that he had. For days, he had.

"Shh, angel. It's alright." Magnus said softly.

He didn't know what had gotten into his Shadowhunter the past few days, why he was needing this so much, but he had been. He had never been able to resist his sweet Alexander, on anything, so there was no point in trying to now. Not when he could give him what he wanted, what he seemed to be craving. 'He's craving like he's in heat' he thought. But it wasn't time, nowhere near time. Taking mercy on his trembling omega he spread his perfect ass cheeks, lining himself up with his entrance.

Alec didn't know that he was trembling. All he knew was that he needed his alpha. Why he needed him so badly, he didn't know. Or, in that moment, care. He couldn't stop the relieved sigh that escaped him when his warlock spread his ass cheeks or the instinctive clench of his muscles when his warlock lined himself up with his entrance.

"Relax, sweetheart. Breathe and relax." Magnus crooned softly.

Alec took a deep breath, willing himself to relax. He knew he wouldn't have his alpha in him until he did.

Magnus waited, watching while his young warrior took deep breaths, watching while his body slowly relaxed.

"That's it, sweetheart." He said softly. "Deep breath, love."

Anticipation hummed through Alec at his warlock's soft words. Taking a deep breath in he felt the brief burn and the beautiful stretch of his rim as he took the head of his alpha's thick cock in. His breath exploded on a moan of pure ecstasy.

"More." He breathed.

"Breathe and let yourself adjust, angel. Remember the rules, no forcing it."

Two days before his alpha had set rules. He wasn't allowed to plunge back on him the way he always wanted to. His warlock was afraid he'd hurt himself, so he had made him swear on the Angel. It was hard keeping that promise when he wanted so much to just push back and take his alpha in, but he had given his word, so he would keep it.

"Okay."

He knew that his warlock was watching, waiting. He breathed through the pleasure of the magnificent stretch knowing that more was to come. He knew the words he would hear as his muscles finally relaxed around his alpha's magnificent cock.

Magnus waited, savoring the feel of the tight channel clamping down around the head of his cock, squeezing him, trying to pull him in. It took every ounce of strength he had not to just plunge in the way he wanted to, but he couldn't. He wouldn't. That would only hurt the one he loved. The pleasure of that tight squeeze was breathtaking, but he had to focus.

"Deep breathe, love." He said softly as he felt his sweet omega's muscles finally relax around him.

Watching as his young warrior drew in a deep breath he pushed himself another inch in, gripping his angel's hips, ensuring that he didn't push back against him. The tight squeeze and warmth of his Shadowhunters channel made his head spin, the pleasure coursing through him mixed with the beautiful sound of his lover's cry was exquisite.

Drawing in a deep breath Alec cried out as his alpha pushed further into him. It was a cry of pure pleasure. The perfect stretch and feeling of new fullness as his warlock filled him was exquisite. Pleasure pulsed through his entire being. The firm grip on his hips was all that stopped him from taking more.

"Magnus, please!" He begged, unsure why he needed this so much. All he knew was that he did.

Magnus knew that his sweet omega's patience was running thin. He had never reached this point so quickly. 'Something's wrong.' He thought. Growing concerned he eased himself back, letting himself fall from his Shadowhunter.

Alec let out a sob as he felt his warlock pull out of him. He didn't know what was wrong. He didn't understand. He went willingly when his alpha reached around his waist, pulling him up on his knees.

"Shh. It's okay, sweetheart. It's alright." Magnus crooned softly as he pulled his Alexander flush against him, his head falling back on his shoulder. 'Yes, something's defiantly wrong' he thought, holding his sweet omega close. "What is it, angel? Talk to me." He said softly, rubbing soft circles into his Shadowhunters firm belly.

"I don't know!" Alec sobbed. "I don't know." He couldn't stop the tears that were falling. He didn't know where they were coming from, or how to stop them. All he knew was that he needed his warlock. All of him.

In that instant he knew. He knew what was missing. He needed his warlock.

"Alexander, what is it?" Magnus asked, worried when his Shadowhunter fell silent.

"I need you." Alec whispered.

"I'm right here, angel." Magnus said softly, pressing a kiss to Alec's shoulder, the only part of him he could reach.

"No. I need all of you." He breathed, stilling his warlock's hand over his empty womb. "All of you, Magnus. You're a warlock. My mate. My fated mate. I need all of you." He said softly.

In that instant Magnus knew. He knew what his Shadowhunter was wanting. What he had been needing.

He had been holding himself back, a part of himself. His magic. His sweet omega hadn't let magic touch him since that last day at the cottage. Since their reunion he hadn't dared mention it, much less use it. But his mate was right. It was a part of him. He needed his Shadowhunter for everything that he was. And his Shadowhunter needed him for everything that he was.

"Are you sure, sweetheart?" He asked, needing to be absolutely sure.

"Yes." Alec said softly. "I need it. Please. I need you. All that you are, I need you." He said, pressing his warlock's hand firmly into his flat belly. "We're going to need you too."

Magnus knew what his young warrior meant. It wasn't just him who would need him. It was their children too. Children he knew that his angel had been seeing in his dreams, a mix of them both. His sweet omega had stopped his hand above his would-be womb, the place their children would grow, the place where, had his Alexander been born differently, their children would never be. They were meant. Their children were meant.

"Okay, love. Okay." He said softly, holding his angel tighter around the waist. He knew that he would need the support. "Just relax, sweetheart." He said, pressing another soft kiss to Alec's shoulder. "Let go, angel."

Alec dropped his hand, leaving just his warlock's pressed against his belly.

Magnus gently caressed his love's firm, flat belly, rubbing soft circles into the toned muscles. Pushing a soft wave of soft magic into his Shadowhunters would-be womb he listened to his soft moan as he relaxed against him.

Alec felt every fiber of his being relax as his warlock's soft magic seeped into him. He couldn't stop the soft moan that escaped him. 'Yes. This is it. This is what's been missing.' He thought.

Magnus sighed, relief coursing through him. A part of him had been afraid, afraid that they were wrong and that his love would recoil from him. Instead he was embracing him, the part of him that he had been holding back. 'Yes. This is it. This is what he's been craving.' He thought.

He realized then that his sweet omega had been trying to recreate that last day, even if he didn't. That was why he had been needing intimacy the way he had, in the form that he had. He had been trying to recreate their last time together before he had messed up, before he had abused his magic.

"More." Alec breathed. Now that he knew what he had been needing, what he had been craving, he wanted more.

"Okay, love." Magnus said, softly. Pressing a stronger wave of magic through his palm he pushed to recreate that day for his love, to recreate that pleasure.

Alec cried out as pure ecstasy shot through him from his warlock's touch, at the beauty that was his magic.

Magnus listened as his young warrior cried out his pleasure, and to his moans as he pushed more and more of what was a part of himself into him. When he felt his angel start to tremble beneath his hand he eased his magic back until there was nothing left but the dregs of pleasure.

"Are you alright, angel?" He asked softly.

"Yes." Alec breathed, panting.

"You should rest now, love."

"No. Not yet. After." He said, leaning forward. He positioned himself on his arms, leaving his ass up for his alpha.

"Sweetheart..." Magnus started.

"Please." Alec said, cutting him off. "I need this. We need this." He said softly, turning to look him in the eyes.

Crystal blue locked on chocolate brown. What Magnus saw there told him everything that he needed to know. His angel was right. They did need this. To recement this trust.

"Alright, angel." He said, gently cupping Alec's cheek. "Turn around, sweetheart."

Alec did as he was asked without question, anticipation humming beneath his skin.

Magnus snapped his fingers, relubing them both. He was going to give his Shadowhunter what he needed, then he was going to put him to bed. He had pushed a lot of magic into his sweet omega, even if his young warrior didn't know it. Spreading his love's firm ass cheeks he lined himself up at his entrance.

"Deep breath, sweetheart."

Alec did as he was asked, knowing it wasn't necessary. Every muscle in him was relaxed and happy. His warlock would meet no resistance.

Watching his Shadowhunter closely as he took a breath in Magnus pushed the head of his cock through his angel's tight rim. The squeeze was magnificent, the tightness breathtaking, but he was shocked when his lover's muscles didn't clamp down on him. He knew then that his young warrior was fully relaxed and ready for him.

Alec couldn't stop his low moan when his alpha's thick cock pushed past his tight rim, stopping at the entrance of his channel. Even without the resistance of clamping muscles, it was still a beautiful stretch as his warlock filled him. It still had pleasure coursing through his veins.

His Shadowhunters moan caressed his skin. He knew that he would be able to smoothly enter his sweet omega, but he was going to go slow. He wanted his young warrior to feel every ounce of pleasure he could give him, and he wanted his own. Running his hands down his angel's back he pressed his thumbs into the taunt muscles on either side of his spine, massaging deep circles into the soft skin. Slowly, inch by inch he sheathed himself more and more into his Shadowhunter, moaning as he filled him.

The beautiful pleasure of his alpha filling him, the breathtaking stretch had him moaning. The pleasure was incredible. He fought for each breath as wave after wave of pure bliss washed over him, making his head spin in the best possible way. His warlock's thumbs massaging into his lower back just made it that much better. He felt like he was floating on a soft cloud. He knew the instant his alpha hit his prostate, he couldn't help it when the pleasure overrode his ability to breathe and his breath hitched in his lungs, the pleasure all consuming.

"Breathe, angel." Magnus crooned softly. He knew when his sweet omega lost his breath that he had slipped into that place, the place he always went when he lost himself in the pleasure. He waited as his young warrior drew in a deep breath before he pushed further into him, knowing that everything from that point on would scrape against his angel's prostate. For the moment he would hold back his own moans, focusing solely on his Shadowhunter until he had filled him, ensuring that he gave him only pleasure, no pain. It was difficult when the magnificent squeeze on his cock had him fighting for his own breath, the pleasure all consuming.

Alec fought to drag air into his lungs, the pleasure was almost too much. All he wanted was to thrust back against his alpha, taking the rest of him in, but he knew in the back of his mind that he couldn't. That it wasn't allowed, so he could only revel in the beauty of what he had. With each little bit his warlock pushed into him, the feeling of fullness was getting more and more intense, the scrape against his prostate more beautiful, the magnificent stretch something he could savor. He loved the feeling of his warlock as he entered him, almost as much as he loved it when his warlock fucked him, pounding into him again and again. But nothing compared to that first magnificent intrusion. He didn't hear the words coming out of his mouth, he never did.

"More, more, more." He begged.

Magnus knew that he was giving his Shadowhunter the pleasure that he had been wanting, that he had been needing when he heard the word 'more'. He knew that his young warrior wouldn't remember it, he never did, but he could give him what he wanted, so he would. Easing himself the last few inches in he couldn't stop his own cry of pleasure as he bottomed out, his angel's ass flush against him. He had to grip his sweet omega's hips, holding him there while he grounded himself. The pleasure of his love's tight channel gripping him had waves of magnificent pleasure coursing through him. His love's cry of pleasure as he fully sheathed himself inside him was beautiful.

Alec cried out his pleasure as his warlock finally filled him, fully sheathing himself inside him. The pleasure from the beautiful stretch and the magnificent fullness was beyond words, waves of it coursing through him. He wanted to move, to fuck himself on his alpha's thick cock, but his warlock's firm hands on his hips stopped him.

"Alpha, please." He pleaded, desperately needing his alpha to move, needing his cock to scrape against his prostate with every thrust. He needed it, more than he needed air.

Magnus' mind focused at his Shadowhunters desperate words. He knew that he could fuck him now, pound into him the way his young warrior had been wanting, the way that he had been wanting to. 'Yes, I can give him this. I can give him what he needs. I will give him what he needs.' He thought.

"Brace yourself, angel. This is going to be hard and fast." He ground out through his own pleasure. His young warrior always gave him the most magnificent pleasure, more than he had ever found before his young love had come into his life.

Alec gripped the sheets knowing that his warlock spoke the truth. He knew that when his alpha said those worse, made that promise that he would keep it.

Pulling back, almost out of his sweet omega, Magnus slammed back into him, pulling his hips back to meet his thrust. Listening to his angel's cry of pleasure had him doing it again and again, the tightness of his love's silky smooth channel making his head spin in the best possible way as it gripped his cock. Using his young warrior's cries and moans of pleasure as a guide he thrust into him, pulling almost out each time before he slammed back in, breeding him.

Alec couldn't help but cry out as his alpha slammed into him, jerking his hips back to meet each beautiful thrust. The delicious scrape against his prostate had his head spinning in the best possible way. He couldn't stop the moans that escaped him as his beautiful warlock pounded into him again and again, the most magnificent pleasure coursing through his veins. The sound of flesh meeting flesh was music to his ears. 'Yes. This is what I needed.' He thought. Again and again his alpha fucked into him, harder and harder with each glorious thrust. He knew he wouldn't be able to take much more, the waves of blissful pleasure crashing down on him were pushing him towards that edge, the edge that would throw him into the abyss.

Magnus knew when his Shadowhunters chorus of yes's slipped from his beautiful lips that he was getting close. He was almost there himself. He didn't hear his own moans as he fucked into his sweet omega. The sound of skin meeting skin was beautiful music to his ears. That was when his control snapped, when he lost all thought as he jerked his young warrior's hips back to meet his thrusts, his hands gripping his Shadowhunters hips hard enough to bruise. He didn't hear his lover's words change to soft moans as he pounded into him. He didn't hear his cry of pleasure as he came, covering the sheets beneath him with ropes of warm, thick cum.

Alec could only feel the magnificent pleasure of his alpha's cock scraping against his prostate as he heard his name fall from his warlock's perfect lips. He knew then that his alpha's control had snapped, and it thrilled him. He couldn't stop the soft moans that escaped him as he neared that final peak. With two more glorious thrusts his cock erupted, his mind going blank as he saw stars. The pleasure was so intense he almost slipped fully into the abyss, into unconsciousness. All that held him back was his warlock's voice, saying his name again and again as he neared his own peak. Aftershocks racked his body as his alpha's cock erupted into him on one last hard thrust, filling him with torrents of his thick cum. He felt his lover's body trembling as aftershocks rocked through him. Panting, he slowly began his descent down from the high as the man he loved with all he had stopped thrusting into him. Knowing that he could, he dropped his head down against the soft mattress.

Magnus felt the walls of his angel's tight channel clamp down on him as he came, squeezing his cock in the most delicious way. He felt his sweet omega's body trembling as aftershock rocked through him as he slammed into him one last time before his cock exploded in his beautiful angel, filling him with rope after rope of cum. The intensity of his release made him see stars. Only the man he loved with all he had could push him to that place, and it thrilled him. As his mind began to clear as he came down from that delicious high he felt his hands softly caressing his young warrior's hips. As his mind fully focused he heard his sweet omega panting for breath before he saw his head resting against the soft mattress.

"Sweetheart?" He asked, fighting to catch his own breath.

"Mm-hmm?" Alec mumbled.

"Are you alright?"

"Mm-hmm."

Magnus knew then that he had thoroughly worn his sweet omega out. Easing himself out of his love he had the presence of mind to look his angel over. It only took a second for him to realize that his Shadowhunter was about to give out. Snapping his fingers he changed the linens before he guided his precious Alexander onto his side where his head fell against his soft pillows. Exhausted himself he fell beside him. Pulling his Alexander close he wrapped him in his arms, pressing a soft kiss to the back of his sweaty neck.

"You need to rest now, love." He said softly, pulling his angel closer into his arms.

"Can't." Alec mumbled. "Got...stuff. Need....stele."

"No, sweetheart. Stuff can wait, rest can't." He said.

He realized then that the only rune he had activated was his Shadowhunters intimacy rune. He had had no runes to help him through the intensity of his magic or their lovemaking. He truly was exhausted and needed sleep before he could do anything else.

"It will be okay, angel. Just sleep for a little bit." He said, pulling the soft sheet up over them. He would hold his young warrior in his arms, knowing it wouldn't take long for his love to fall asleep.

"But...stuff...." Alec mumbled, trying to force his mind to focus.

"No stuff, love. Sleep." He said softly, pressing a soft kiss to Alec's shoulder. "I'll be right here when you wake up."

He would stay with his precious Shadowhunter, he would hold him in his arms, as he should have that last day at the cottage. When his sweet omega woke up, he wouldn't wake up alone.

"K..." Alec mumbled as he snuggled into his pillows, seconds before he drifted into sleep.

Within just a few seconds Magnus could hear his soft little snores. He snapped his fingers, sending a message to Clary telling her that they would be running late. Alexander was still resting. Listening to his angel's soft little snores, his favorite sound in the world, he fell into his own sleep.

*****

Alec pulled the whistling cast iron kettle off the stove, pouring steaming water into a mug.

Magnus watched his Shadowhunter pour water for his tea. He couldn't help but smile. 'He's so beautiful.' He thought. He waited until Alec had set the kettle back down, he didn't want to risk him dropping it. Creeping quietly across the kitchen he wrapped his arms around Alec's waist, pressing a soft kiss to the back of his neck.

"I could have saved you the trouble, love." He said softly, pressing another soft kiss to Alec's neck.

"I know. But instead you preferred to watch." Alec said with a smirk.

"You knew I was there?" He asked, surprised.

"Shadowhunter, remember?"

"I'll never forget that, angel. Did you sleep well?" He asked.

"I did. Thank you." He said softly. He finally felt fully at peace. He hadn't realized what he had been needing from his alpha. He hadn't known he needed it until that moment came, the moment his warlock had softly rubbed his belly.

"Never thank me for loving you, Alexander. Or making love to you." Magnus whispered, pressing a last soft kiss to Alec's neck before releasing him. "But something's troubling you. What's troubling you, love? Is it going back to Haven?"

"Yes, and no."

"Is has to be one or the other, sweetheart." Magnus said, pulling Alec towards the old wooden table.

"I don't want to go back, Magnus. But I know I have to." Alec said, taking the seat his alpha pulled out for him. "I've seen enough in my dreams to know that the war is going to end up there. Or near there. And some of the faces, the people, I recognize from that dream." He said softly.

"The battle where you're pregnant?"

Alec nodded, yes.

"Why there, alpha? Of all places, why there?"

"Why not there, love? It's going to happen somewhere. Isn't it better to know the where? We already know the who. All that's left I guess is the when and the why."

"What's that mundane phrase? 'Million dollar question'?

"Something like that." He said, taking Alec's hand.

"I just don't get the 'why'. It can't be because of me. Surely the Clave wouldn't wage a war over one person. Despite what Imogen and my mother believe about omega's, surely they can't justify a war over one omega. It just doesn't make sense."

"You've only been given a handful of pieces to a puzzle, bits and pieces of things that may or may not happen, angel. We may not know until we get that piece."

"Or pieces. It could be one thing or one of a dozen different things. These dreams are confusing, Magnus. In one I'm pregnant, in battle, and somethings wrong. In another I'm pregnant and were all held captive. Which is it?" He asked softly.

"Hopefully neither, love. That's what we're trying to prevent. Either of those things. If we succeed, you won't be fighting a battle while pregnant, or being held captive. You'll be resting and comfortable and happy for nine months with everybody fussing about around you."

"Oh yeah, that sounds real fun." He said sarcastically.

"Hey, what do you think I'm going to be doing? I'm going to pamper you. You will have every comfort. Anything and everything you want." Magnus said, squeezing Alec's hand.

"Does that include no 'fussing about'?"

"I don't think I can stop your sister or Biscuit on that one, angel." He said with a smile. "Even I can only do so much. But let's not think about this now, okay? We don't know the when or why, so let's just focus on the now." He said, cupping Alec's cheek.

Alec couldn't help but lean into his alpha's touch, a pleasant tingle running down his spine. 'Will it be this way forever?' He thought.

"And the now means going back to Haven." He sighed, having enjoyed the moment while it lasted, but knowing that it couldn't last forever. At least not yet.

"I think it does. But who knows? We may get there and find out everything is fine and end up coming back here. But tell me this, sweetheart, what does your gut tell you? What do you believe, deep down, is going to happen?"

"War." Alec said softly. "There's going to be a war. I don't know why, but it's going to happen."

"Then that's what we prepare for, love. There is another mundane phrase, 'plan for the worst and hope for the best'.

"Then I guess that's all we can do. When do we leave for Haven?" He asked, sipping his tea. He grimaced. It had gone cold.

Magnus snapped his fingers, warming it.

"Thanks."

"No problem, sweetheart. When I checked on the girls they were packing. Isabelle says her weapons are ready to move. The crates your father sent have all been sorted and are ready to go. That just leaves the personal effects. Are you packed?"

"No. I don't know what to take." He said, sheepish.

"That's why I packed for you, big brother. Your set and ready to go." Izzy said as she pulled out a chair beside them.

"I am?"

"Yep. Clothes, gear, personal weapons. Your favorite bows with plenty of arrows." She said, giving Magnus a pout.

Magnus couldn't help but smile. Snapping his fingers a Starbucks coffee appeared on the table in front of her. Her face lit up with a huge smile as she snatched it up.

"Thank you, Magnus."

"Your welcome, Isabelle. That's actually a thank you for getting Alexander packed. Now I don't have to do it."

"Clary's coming. You better get one of those for her too." Alec said, pushing back from the table.

"How do you know?" Magnus asked.

"Shadowhunter. Remember?" He asked as Clary walked in.

"Awe. I want one." She pouted, eyeing Izzy's coffee.

Magnus could only shake his head at his Shadowhunters. Snapping his fingers another Starbucks coffee appeared on the table.

"Thank you, Magnus." She said, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek.

"Anytime, Biscuit."

But he was in awe of his Shadowhunter. 'With senses like that he's going to know what kind of mischief our children will get into before they get into it.' He thought with a smile

*****

Robert, Cat, Izabella, and Gideon stood in the clearing behind the village. Robert chewed his bottom lip anxiously.

"Relax, Robert. They'll be here." Izabella said, softly rubbing Robert's back.

"Their late, momma." Robert said, his nerves clear in his voice.

"Magnus said they were going to be a little late. They got a late start." Cat said.

"It's not like him, Cat. Alexander is never late. Ever."

A swirling portal began to open before them, a swirling circle of gold.

"See. Here they are now." She said with a smile as the portal fully opened.

Magnus stepped through, followed by Alec, Izzy, Jace, Clary, and Simon, all holding hands to form a chain. The portal closed behind Simon.

"Thank the Angel." Robert breathed. "What happened? Is everyone alright?"

"Everyone's fine, dad. Alec the sleepyhead got a late start." Izzy said, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek.

"Alexander? Did you have..."

"No, dad. I just slept in." Alec said, cutting Robert off as Robert pulled him in for a hug. "Magnus keeps insisting that I need to adjust to life outside of what I had at the Institute." He said as he returned the embrace.

"So you're okay?"

"I'm fine. Honestly." He said, releasing his father.

"So." Izabella said, rocking on her heels, not knowing what else to say.

"So." Alec said, unsure what to say himself. The last time he had seen his uncle and grandmother neither of them had believed him.

"Your father has brought us up to speed. I guess an apology is in order. Especially to you and Clary."

They had discussed this before they had left The Manor. They had thought this might come up. They had understood why Izabella and Gideon were skeptical. What they had told them about what they could do was outside the norm. As much as it had pained Alec at the time, they all had understood it. Alec and Clary both had agreed that no apology was necessary as long as there were no more doubts.

"So you believe us?" Alec asked.

"Yes, Alec. I do." She said, cupping his cheek.

"And Gideon?"

"Still has his doubts." Gideon said, perfectly willing to speak for himself. "You may have my mother and brother convinced that you can do the impossible, but until I see it for myself...well, I'm not quite there yet."

"Then you owe us nothing, grandma." Alec said, nonplussed. "But when he gets with the program, he does." He said, kissing her cheek.

"Don't grind your teeth, dad. It's not good for them. Plus, you don't want to irritate that bad jaw." Izzy said. She could see the anger sparkling in her father's eyes. Cupping his other cheek she pressed another soft kiss to his bad jaw. Between her and Clary, they had broken it twice. "As if watching him jump sixty feet out of a tree and land perfectly on his feet isn't impossible."

"Or jumping thirty feet up." Jace said with a smirk.

"Are we ready to head back to the village?" Cat asked cheerfully. She didn't want to see another brawl between the Lightwood brothers. Or have to heal Gideon again. 'Next time I may just let him suffer.' She thought. 'But watching Isabelle kick his ass might be fun.'

"Yes, Catarina. We are." Magnus said.

"Didn't you bring anything with you?" Izabella asked.

"Oh we did." Jace said. "Magnus was kind enough to move it over. It was a bit much to carry. The girls brought most of their clothes. And Iz had to have her weapons."

"I guess we should head back then." She said as they all turned back towards the village.

"Are you ready for this, sweetheart?" Magnus asked Alec softy as they walked through the clearing. "There are still going to be people who have their doubts."

"Do I really have a choice?" Alec asked.

"I guess not, love." He said, taking Alec's hand.

Alec smiled. He had never gotten to hold his alpha's hand on a walk before. Circling the last cottage in front of the clearing they all came to a stop.

Alec's eyes widened at the sight before him. Hundreds of nephilims stood before him, men, women, and children of all ages, with countless downworlders scattered within. He saw seelie's, those he knew to be were werewolves, and warlocks. His vision was good enough that he saw vampires several hundred yards away in the shade of the trees.

"Magnus, what is this?" He breathed.

"These, my love, are the inhabitants of Haven. Plus a few it would seem. Do you remember when I told you that I smuggled omega Shadowhunters out of the Institutes and some families sent their newly presented children to me?"

Alec nodded, yes.

"Well, this is where I brought them. They've been hidden here, behind my wards ever since. What started out as a few has multiplied over the years. The population grew." Magnus said softly.

"And the downworlders are from the families that took them in?" Alec asked.

"Some. And some are nephilim mates. You're not alone, Alexander. There are more than a hundred omegas here, male and female."

"You knew they'd be here, didn't you?" He asked.

"Yes, sweetheart. I did. Izabella has been busy spreading the word."

"Why...why didn't you tell us? When you brought us here before?" Alec asked softly.

"I wasn't sure you were ready to know then, angel. I didn't know why you had brought us here. Izabella asked that everyone keep their distance until she knew more. Now she knows more."

"But you knew these people were here the whole time?"

"Yes, angel. I did." Magnus said softly, squeezing Alec's hand. "I've watched this place grow for a hundred years."

"And dad?" He asked, turning to look at his father.

"Yes, son. Gideon and I grew up here. I will admit that there are a few more people now than there were back then. Haven has gotten a bit...bigger in the last eighteen years." Robert said.

Alec understood why this had been kept from them. They were the unknown in Haven. Outsiders. Shadowhunters. Shadowhunters were feared in Haven, that much he knew. Shadowhunters were the reason the people of Haven were here.

"What do they want?" He asked.

"Izabella asked them to come." Magnus said, squeezing Alec's hand.

"But why?"

"Maybe you should go ask them." Izabella said, pointing to a stage with a podium a few feet away.

Alec nodded, yes. He walked to the stage and up the steps. He took in the hundreds of people filling the village. The crowd was larger than the village of Haven could hold. The crowd spread out beyond it, into the fields.

"Where's my team?" He asked.

"Right here, big brother." Izzy said from his side.

He turned, taking her in. Looking from side to side, he saw his family lined up on either side of him, his alpha and sister flanking him on each side.

"A war is coming, big brother. I think this may just be your army." She said softly.

"Is it true that a war is coming? That the Great Purge isn't over?" Samuel asked, one of Izabella's nephilim warriors.

"Yes." Alec said.

"You're going to have to speak louder than that, bro." Jace said with a chuckle.

"You'll all have to forgive me." Alec said, using his command voice. This was the voice he used to lead Shadowhunters in the field and in battle. "This is a bit of a shock. I wasn't expecting this. Yes, a war is coming." He said, voice ringing out across the crowd, loud and clear.

"Is it true that you're the best Shadowhunter in the Shadow World? That what the downworlders who fought in The Dark War say is true?" Asked a stranger, a tall nephilim man.

"I can't say that I know what they've told you, but I have been told that I am the best. As are my team."

"Is it your team beside you? The team that fought in the war?" Asked a pregnant Seelie woman.

"It is."

"My son is modest." Robert said, stepping up beside Alec. "He is the best Shadowhunter the Shadow World has ever seen. And the people beside him are his team. He trained them himself, and they are the best. They can do things that no other Shadowhunters can do. And he leads like no other." He said, loud and proud.

"But he's an omega." Nathan said, skeptical, despite what he himself has seen.

"And that means what exactly?" Alec asked. "That I can't be a warrior? A Shadowhunter?"

"Perhaps a little demonstration is in order?" Simon asked, a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Alexander?" Magnus asked softly.

"I need my bow, Magnus. Can you get it?" Alec asked.

"Of course, love."

With a finger snap it was in his hands.

"Thank you, alpha." Alec said, smiling. Taking his bow he pulled an arrow from its quiver. Turning back to the crowd he quickly scanned his surroundings. "Would the two vampires standing in the trees, the lovely lady in the red dress and the gentleman in the blue kindly step away from the spruce tree?" He asked, loud enough to be heard by everyone, including the vampires standing hundreds of yards away beneath the shade of the trees.

All eyes turned to the tree line. They watched as the two vampires did as Alec asked. Notching his bow, he took a deep breath in, holding it as he let the arrow fly. It flew over hundreds of heads, across hundreds of yards, with enough speed and force to shatter the arrow as it hit dead center in the heart of the tree.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of Haven." Izabella called, her voice loud and clear, she was the leader here. "Please welcome my grandson, Alexander Lightwood, The Archer, and the best Shadowhunter team to ever live."

The crowd was stunned, speechless. Except for one.

"Can you all do that?" Madzie asked, excitement dancing in her crystal blue eyes.

"No, Madzie. But we all have special skills. Would you like to meet everyone?" Alec asked, loud enough for all to hear, yet still gentle for the little girl.

"Yes, please!" She giggled. Alec couldn't help but smile.

"And you command this 'team'? Don't get me wrong, my wife is an omega. How can an omega command?" A dark haired werewolf asked, a strong alpha.

"Command him, Jonathan." Robert said. "See what happens."

The man his father called Jonathan looked unsure. He didn't want to offend any omega, especially Ms. Izabella or her family.

"It's alright, Jonathan. I assure you." Izabella said. It was obvious to all that she was accustomed to addressing large crowds.

"Alright. Please accept my apologies in advance, Mr. Lightwood."

"Only if you accept mine, Jonathan." Alec said gently.

Jonathan cleared his throat, pulling together all of the alpha he could muster.

"On your knees!" He commanded, full alpha. His command was strong enough that every non-alpha man, woman, and child around him fell to their knees before him. Alec felt the force of the command wash over him. He saw Clary and Simon yield to the command. Being beta's, it was in their nature to yield to an alpha.

"Very nicely done, Jonathan." Alec said calmly, nonplussed. The crowd could only stare in awe at Alec, at how he didn't yield to an alpha's command as they regained their feet. "Now I kindly ask that you all accept my apology."

The crowd looked confused, unsure what he meant.

"On your knees!" He commanded. This was Alec the leader, the commander. Every man, woman, and child, of all species, including his father and alpha, including his team, fell to their knees as the command washed over them. And that is where they stayed, trembling. "Rise!"

Dumbstruck and in awe the inhabitants of Haven all climbed slowly to their feet.

"By the Angel, Alec. Did you really need to use that much force?" Jace complained as he rose to his feet.

"Sorry, Jace. I think a point had to be made." Alec said, sheepish.

"How did you do that?" Jonathan asked. "I mean no disrespect, but you're an omega. How can you command like that?"

"Only the Angel can answer that question, Jonathan." Robert answered. "But now you've seen for yourselves. My son is not only the best Shadowhunter in the Shadow World, he's also its strongest leader, and commander. At sixteen he was leading troops in The Dark War and training other Shadowhunters in various forms of combat at our Institute in New York. He was leading patrols and missions at fourteen with the team you see at his side. And he's never once yielded to a command. No one's."

Magnus bit his bottom lip, hard, trying to hide his smile. He knew the only time his Shadowhunter yielded to commands, and in that moment, wondered why.

"So you're going to protect us from the Clave, Alec?" Madzie asked in Gideon's arms.

Robert grinned at the dumbstruck look on his brother's face.

"I'm going to do everything I can, Madzie. But I think my team and I may need a little help. We're only seven against the Clave, and every other Shadowhunter they command. That's a lot of Shadowhunters. Would you like to meet the rest of my team now?"

"Yes, please!" She said, bouncing on her father's hip in excitement.

"How about you come on up here and I'll introduce you?" He asked, giving her a sweet smile.

He didn't know it, but he was already falling in love with his cousin. His alpha didn't miss it and didn't bother to hide his smile.

Scrambling from her father's arms she ran as fast as her little legs would carry her, bounding up the steps of the stage. She leapt into Alec's arms where he caught her smoothly.

"To my left, I believe you all know my alpha, The Warlock Magnus Bane, The Potions Master." Alec said, loud and clear. He had come to know that his alpha wasn't just The High Warlock of Brooklyn, he was the most powerful warlock in the world. "To his left you will find my parabati, Clary Morgenstern, The Rune Master, her runes have power like no others, and to her left, my brother, Jace Herondale, The Sword Master. You will find no one better with a blade. Cat? Where's Cat?" He asked.

"Right here, Alec." Cat asked, confused.

"Go take your place beside Jace."

"My place?" She asked.

"Yes, your place. Go on. I have to finish the introductions."

Unsure, Cat climbed the steps of the stage and crossed it to stand beside Jace, a small smile tugging Jace's lips.

"And on the end." Alec said, again, loud and clear. "Is another you all know. The Warlock Ms. Catarina Loss, The Healing Master."

Cat was stunned, speechless. She didn't know what was happening, but a sense of love, warmth, and loyalty filled her, not for her oldest and dearest friend, but for his mate and family. She didn't realize that she had just been invited in.

Magnus knew how she felt and couldn't hide his smile. He had felt the same way not to long ago when he had been invited into the family. 'I'll explain it to her later' he thought.

"Now." Alec continued. "On my right is my sister, Isabelle Lightwood, The Weapons Master. She's the best creator of blades you will ever meet, her custom blades are unlike any other you will ever see, and to her right, Simon Lewis, The Warrior, the fiercest man you will ever encounter in any form of combat. This is my team. This is my family. And together, we will take on the Clave. We will do all we can to end this war, a war that has raged for more than a century."

In that moment Robert Lightwood couldn't have been prouder. He knew his son was the best, and now he knew why he had been given the gifts that he had, what his true purpose in this world was. He wasn't just a hero to the downworld. He wasn't just the best Shadowhunter the Shadow World had ever seen. He was going to be the hero to hundreds of his own kind, nephilims who had spent a century hiding in the shadows from the Clave, to the downworlders who didn't already see him as the rest of the downworld did, downworlders who had lived in seclusion with their hidden nephilim mates, and to more than a hundred omegas, omegas just like himself. And countless omegas to come.

"How do you know this war is coming, Mr. Lightwood?" Samuel asked.

"Because I've seen it. And please, call me Alec."

"You've seen it?" Nathan asked.

"My grandson has The Sight of The Angel." Izabella said, pride shining in her bright blue eyes. She was awed by what she had just seen from her grandson.

"If there's going to be a war, I want to fight. My wife is an omega. It's my job to protect her." Jonathan said.

Alec nodded, yes.

"Anyone who wants to fight with us is welcome. Just know, it's dangerous. War is dangerous. Any man, regardless of race or species is welcome to join us. To train with us. Be trained by us. But no child will take part. An no one with child." He said.

"Why just the men? Why not women too?" A skinny Seelie woman asked.

"I won't deny any woman who wants to fight the chance. But it will be by choice, not an order, or a command. I won't lead like the Clave. I will not order women into combat."

"So you'll be our leader?" Nathan asked.

"I guess so. If it's what you want. If it's what you all want."

"I've seen them fight myself!" Nathan called out to the crowd. "They have moves and weapons like I've never seen. They had five demon's dead in less than a minute."

"And he killed a moloch demon by himself!" An unknown nephilim warrior called out. "Ms. Izabella and the Shadowhunter Elders confirmed it!"

Murmurs broke out amongst the crowd. This was the moment of truth. The moment when he would know, when Alec would know, if they had their army.

"I'll fight." Samuel called. "Who will join us? Who will follow Alec and his team?"

A chorus of countless "I will's" broke out amongst the crowd, and from the vampires beneath the trees.

Alec looked at his team, his family, down one side and down the other. Their smiles and nods told him all he needed to know. This was how they were going to win this war. This was how they were going to beat the Clave. It wasn't just them anymore. Now, now they had their army.

"If that is your wish, we will honor it." He said to the crowd. "Anyone who wants to train with us, meet back here at 08:00 hours."

Magnus snapped his fingers, eight tables appearing in front of the stage, each with a chair.

"Those who wish to fight, please form a line at one of the tables to list your names and species. Alec is going to need to know you all, and what you can do." He called out to the crowd, loud enough to be heard by many, but not loud enough to be heard by all.

"Alpha?" Alec asked.

"Yes, love. If you wouldn't mind." Magnus said with a smile.

"If I can have your attention for another moment, please." Alec called out to the crowd.

Those who hadn't heard Magnus stopped chattering and turned back to him.

"In order for my team and I to train you in combat, we need you to kindly join one of the lines at the tables below us. We need to know your name and species to best hone and utilize your skills. For those of you beneath the trees, Gideon will be there momentarily to get the names of those who wish to fight." He said.

Robert couldn't help but chuckle as he took a seat at one of the tables in front of the stage. He was never going to let his brother live this down.

"Alpha, after you?" Alec asked, indicating the two vacant tables in front of the stage.

"Why thank you, angel." Magnus said, smiling at his Shadowhunter as they descended the stairs of the small stage. "Let's go get you your army." He said, squeezing Alec's hand.

*****

Alec's sat at the small table in their cottage, flipping through pages of notes.

"How's it going, sweetheart?" Magnus asked, sitting a cup of tea at Alec's side.

"This isn't going to be easy, alpha." Alec sighed, laying down his notes. "I've got over three hundred nephilim and downworlders ready to fight, which is great. Well, as great as it can be considering its war.

But they are mostly untrained nephilims, none of them runed. Now I've got to figure out how to train them all, identify their strengths with weaponry, and create a training schedule so we can break them all into smaller groups to teach them hand to hand and at least basic skills with seraph blades and daggers.

We train for nine years to hone the skills they need and I really don't think we have nine years. Then there's the downworlders. Yes, all of them have certain skills, but their going to need training too. I'm not sure what to do about weapons for them.

Izzy is going to need a forge to create the weapons, both angelic and I guess we'll say demonic for lack of better word, while still training. And were going to need a proper training area. I just don't know where to start." He said, dropping his head into his hands.

"Hey, it'll be okay, love. We'll get it figured out. You've trained others before. And it's not like you'll be doing it alone. As far as the training area and a forge for Isabelle, I have more than a dozen warlock's here and more coming in every day. We can get those built in no time. And as many non-angelic weapons as you need.

Isabelle is the best with small weapons and can do basic training, right?"

"Yes." Alec mumbled.

"And Jace is the best with blades, right?"

"Yes."

"And Clary with short swords and daggers?"

"Yes."

"And not to mention runes. I don't think it will be too difficult for eight trained Shadowhunters to rune the nephilims here will it? Albeit a little time consuming."

"Eight?" He asked, lifting his head.

"Yes, eight. Our family, your father, Izabella, and Gideon. After today, from what I've heard, your uncle is on board. And they just need basic runes, right? And an angelic rune to anchor them?"

"Right."

"And Simon is the best at hand to hand. I think he can help some of the new recruits hone those skills. And you're the best at archery. The very best. You just need to find out what each person has a knack for and expand on it while still teaching them the basics.

And it's not like it's just up to you guys. There's is still your father and uncle. As far as the warlocks, leave them to me and Catarina. They won't be fighting with weapons, angel. They'll be fighting with magic. It's a lot, I know. But let me ask you this, how many Shadowhunters have you personally trained?"

"Hundreds. But they were already trained in most things, Magnus. I just helped hone their skills. And their really good. I have to teach the people here to be better." He said softly.

"And you will. This doesn't just fall on you, sweetheart. Yes, you are the leader here now, but leaders have to delegate. I have faith in you. You will have an army of skilled warriors in no time. The Shadowhunters for the Clave? Yes, they may have more years of training and conditioning, but they follow blindly.

The people here? They have a reason to fight. A powerful one. And that's what's going to push them to learn more, to fight harder, and give it their all. That's what's going to win this war.

You are the best Shadowhunter in the Shadow World. You have the best team. If anybody can pull this off, its you guys. Okay?"

"Okay." Alec said softly, squeezing Magnus' hand.

Chairman Meow jumped up on the table, scattering Alec's papers.

"Chairman!" Alec cried, scooping the white furball of a cat into his arms. "Where have you been? Huh? I thought we'd lost you." He said, snuggling the small cat. "Magnus? Where? How?" He asked, Chairman Meow purring loudly in his arms.

"I portaled him to a friend before we left the loft. He portaled in today and brought Chairman with him. I thought you two should reunite. I thought you might be missing him, and he was missing you. For some odd reason he seems to like you more than he does me." Magnus said, reaching out to pet his cat. Chairman hissed at him.

"Chairman! That's not nice." Alec half scolded, half crooned.

"Well, it's been a long day, angel. How about you and Chairman come to bed? Or maybe just you." He said, softly rubbing Alec's back, pushing a soft wave of magic out through his hand.

Alec sighed as the tension in his back drained away, his muscles relaxing.

"There. That's better. Come, sweetheart. Come to bed." He said, holding out his hand for Alec to take.

Sitting Chairman Meow carefully back on the table he took Magnus' hand, climbing from his chair.

"Are you tired, angel?" He asked, lifting Alec's hand to his lips for a soft kiss. Turning it, he pressed soft kisses up his wrist.

"Not really." Alec breathed as desire rushed through him. His alpha's soft kisses had an unexpected need pulsing through his veins.

"I was hoping you'd say that." Magnus said, pulling Alec the short distance to their bed.

Wrapping his arm around Alec's waist he pulled him close, their bodies flush together. Before Alec could react Magnus pressed a soft kiss to the side of his neck.

"Do you have any idea how delectable these pants make your ass look, Alexander?"

"No." Alec sighed, tilting his head to give his warlock better access. "I thought you didn't like my cargo pants."

"I think I've changed my mind. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on you. If not, somebody else might just try and snatch you up." He said, wrapping his arm tighter around Alec's waist. "You forget, I know just how sexy you look when you train, Alexander. I know what it's like to want to just take you then and there. To touch you, to feel your firm muscles under my hands as I pull your clothes away piece by piece and fill you."

Alec couldn't stop the crimson blush that flooded his cheeks.

"Oh how I love your blushes." Magnus whispered, pressing soft kisses to Alec's chin and jaw as he unbuckled his belt. "I'm going to make love to you, Alexander. Did you know that?" He asked softly, unbuttoning and unzipping Alec's pants.

"I was hoping you would." Alec breathed. His warlock undressing him was doing things to him. He had never been undressed before. His straining cock was aching to be touched.

Magnus didn't miss it when his young warrior's breathing changed as he slid his pants off his hips and over his ass, or the erection tenting his soft boxers.

"I'm betting that you'd like me to touch that, wouldn't you?" He asked softly.

"Yes, please." Alec said, barely able to form the words. His head was spinning in the best possible way.

Taking a quick look at his Shadowhunter, Magnus saw the rapid rise and fall of his sweet omega's chest and the lust blown pupils in the beautiful blue eyes he loved so much. He knew that he needed to get his young warrior off his feet before he fell. His Alexander may be able to do triple backflips on a three-inch wooden beam thirty feet in the air, but when it came to this, it didn't take much to throw him off balance, something that he loved about his angel. Despite everything they had already done, his Shadowhunter was still in so many ways innocent, something he hoped would never change.

"Let's lie down now, sweetheart." He said softly, guiding Alec back towards the bed.

Alec didn't hesitate to follow his alpha's direction. He sat when the back of his knees hit the side of the soft mattress. He went gladly when his warlock guided him back, snapping his fingers. Before he could look to see what his warlock had done his head settled on a soft pillow.

"There. I want you comfortable when I do this." Magnus murmured softly, sliding his hands under Alec's tight black shirt, up over his flat belly and the firm muscles of his abs. He couldn't stop his own groan of pleasure as he pushed it up, revealing perfect porcelain pale skin over taunt plains and ridges of muscle. "You have a magnificent body, Alexander. One I never get tired of exploring." He said, pressing soft kisses to Alec's belly before tracing the rune there with his tongue.

Alec wasn't sure what his alpha was doing, and he wasn't sure that he cared. The pleasure coursing through him from his warlock's soft touches and kisses was heavenly. He couldn't stop it when his breath hitched in his lungs when his alpha's tongue traced over his clarity rune.

"Breathe, sweetheart." Magnus crooned softly, watching as his love drew in a breath. He knew then that he would have to keep a close eye on his sweet omega, he was especially sensitive tonight.

Pressing one last soft kiss to his angel's flat belly he gripped the waistband of his young warrior's boxers, gently tugging them down.

Alec lifted his hips automatically as his boxers slid down over his hips so his warlock could pull them down, freeing his aching cock.

"Beautiful." Magnus breathed, pushing Alec's boxers and pants to his knees.

Kneeling on the floor beside the bed the quickly unlaced Alec's boots, pulling them off and sliding his pants and boxers the rest of the way off. He didn't want anything in the way when he spread his sweet omega's knees or before he lifted them and eased into him, a new position and angle that they hadn't tried before, but one he hoped they would use many, many times throughout eternity.

Alec felt his alpha easing him out of his clothes and wanted to help, but he was frozen. His mind felt muddled. He was still floating from the pleasure of his warlock's tongue on his belly.

Magnus couldn't help but smile at his Shadowhunter. 'It takes so little' he thought, to bring his lover pleasure. Something else he hoped would never change. Snapping his fingers he shed Alec's of his shirt. He hated to do it, he was enjoying undressing his angel, but it was in his way. Pulling his stele from its holster at his hip he quickly activated Alec's intimacy rune.

"There. Now it's just us." He said softly, gently rubbing Alec's upper thighs. "I'm going to taste you now, Alexander."

"Okay." Alec said softly, unable to tear his eyes off his warlock. There was something about being fully exposed while his alpha was still fully dressed, something he didn't understand, that had his blood humming in his veins. He had enjoyed being undressed, something that, a few months ago would have mortified him.

Pushing Alec's knees apart Magnus ran his hands gently up and down Alec's thighs, marveling at the soft skin over the firm, well honed muscles. Starting at his young warrior's inner knee, at the rune there, he pressed soft kisses up the inside of his Shadowhunters inner leg, and up his thigh. He listened carefully at the soft moans escaping his sweet omega. 'Yes, I will have to watch him closely' he thought with a smile. When his love was like this, he had to make sure that his angel stayed safe.

Using his young warrior's soft moans as a guide he stopped at the sweet spot in his Shadowhunters inner thigh. Replacing his lips with his thumb he pushed a soft wave of magic into that sweet spot, listening as his angel cried out.

Alec felt fresh anticipation humming beneath his skin when his alpha pushed his knees apart. The soft caresses against his inner thighs had snapped his mind out of its haze. His alpha's words 'I'm going to taste you now' were ringing in his ears. The soft kisses his warlock was trailing up his inner thigh, so close to his aching cock, had him moaning out his need, his need to be touched, to be tasted, to be filled and fucked. He cried out as the most beautiful pleasure shot through him from his warlock's magic.

Smiling, Magnus circled the sweet spot with his thumb, leaning forward to grip his young warrior's furiously leaking cock. Using the generous amount of precum he gently ran his hand up and down his sweet omega's length, twisting his wrist around the head before he came back down. On the third gentle pull up he pressed another soft wave of magic through his thumb into that sweet spot as he gripped his Shadowhunter hard. He listened to his angel cry out again, his moans and cries of pleasure music to his ears.

"That's it. Give me my moans." He crooned, easing up on the magic he was pushing into his young love.

The pressure his alpha was using to grip his dick was exquisite. His hand moving up and down his length had him moaning, something that he knew his warlock loved, something he no longer bothered to try and hold back. The jolt of bliss that shot through him had him crying out again as it coursed through his body, making his head spin in its intensity. His alpha's soft words 'give me my moans' barely registered.

Settling himself comfortable between his Shadowhunters knees he gently stroked his cock a few more times before leaning forward to replace his hand with his tongue. He licked his sweet omega from base to tip and back again, savoring the taste of his angel's cum. As always, his angel tasted divine.

His alpha's tongue on his aching cock felt like heaven. He knew what he was doing. He knew that he was tasting him before he took him into that sinfully hot mouth. His breath hitched in his lungs at the very thought of that warm heat taking him in, sucking him, his warlock fucking him with his mouth.

"Breathe, angel." Magnus said softly, halting his movements until Alec drew in an easy breath. "That's it." He crooned softly as he saw Alec's chest rise and fall.

He knew that his young warrior hadn't taken his eyes off of him, that he had watched his every move since he had undressed him, and he loved it. He pressed his tongue, hard, against the vein in the underside of his sweet omega's dick, never taking his eyes off his loves. Watching him moan and cry out was beautiful. He didn't hesitate to suck the head of his angel's thick cock into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the head. Listening carefully to his Shadowhunter, he plunged down on him, taking him into his throat. He hummed out his own pleasure when he had taken in his young warrior's full length.

Alec was captivated by his warlock. His beauty was beyond anything he had ever seen. The sight of him always seemed to make his heart stutter and his breath quicken. He couldn't seem to tear his eyes off of him, and he loved it.

He couldn't stop his moans or cries of pleasure when his warlock licked or sucked his dick. They undid him every time. The pressure and pleasure of his alpha's tongue pressing firmly against that sweet spot had him crying out. He hadn't caught his breath before his beautiful warlock sucked the head of his cock into his mouth, into that warm heat he had been waiting for. The feel of his tongue swirling around him had him moaning, the pleasure radiating down his cock, making his thighs tremble. He couldn't help but gasp as his wonderful alpha took him down his throat, that warm heat getting more intense when it fully sheathed him. His warlock slowly bobbing up and down on his cock had waves of the most beautiful pleasure washing over him, and an overwhelming desire for the man he loved coursing through his veins.

Magnus loved the taste of his sweet omega, and the feel of his thick cock in his mouth as he sucked him, as he fucked him with his mouth. With each plunge down he savored the feel of his young warrior as he took in his length and reveled in the moans he heard as he hollowed his cheeks when he came back up. He stilled his angel's trembling thighs with his hands as he bobbed slowly up and down. He had never given it to his Shadowhunter this slowly before, but he didn't want him to cum, not yet.

After one more slow plunge down and rise back up, hollowing his cheeks as much as he could for greater suction, he swirled his tongue around the head of the delicious cock in his mouth before letting it pop free, listening as his sweet omega panted for breath. Watching his young warrior, the beauty of him panting with a light sheen of sweat covering him, had an overwhelming desire for the man he loved coursing through his veins, and a desperate need to give him more.

His precious angel had no idea how much pleasure he got just from giving him pleasure, or from watching him fall apart as he did. He knew his Shadowhunter was ready for more when he saw the lust blown pupils in his beautiful blue eyes.

Snapping his fingers he dimmed the lights, lighting dozens of candles in their place. He didn't want the bright light to hurt his loves eyes but loved the look of his perfect body, the body of a god, in the flickering candlelight. His runes, marks made by angels, stood out beautifully in the dim light, a perfect contrast to his porcelain pale skin. He debated for a moment as to rather or not he should activate his lover's runes before deciding against it. He wanted his young warrior to sleep soundly before the day to come, a day that he knew was going to be stressful and probably draining.

"You look so beautiful, sweetheart. I love the way you look when I pleasure you. It takes my breath away." He murmured softly.

Alec had lost the ability to form words. The pleasure his alpha had been giving him and stolen his ability to form a cohesive thought. All he knew was that he wanted his warlock. That he needed him, desperately.

"Tell me you want it."

Magnus smiled watching his Shadowhunter struggle to find words. He knew that he was always overwhelmed by the pleasure when that happened.

"I want it." Alec finally managed.

"Good." He said, climbing to his feet. Unbuttoning his pants he lowered them, freeing his own aching cock. He was going to fuck his angel fully clothed, another first for his young warrior.

Snapping his fingers Magnus thoroughly lubed them both. He knew that his sweet omega wouldn't let him prepare him in any way, he loved the feel of the stretch too much. 'Yes, he'll take his next heat beautifully' he thought, not for the first time. Gripping his young warrior's bent knees he pulled his beautiful ass to the edge of the bed, lining them up perfectly.

Alec was thrown off balance when his alpha pulled him down, his ass almost off the side of the bed. Magnus could see the question in his lover's eyes.

"I'm going to fuck you standing up, Alexander. And one day, I'm going to bend you over that table in there and take you that way. I'm going to fuck you every way possible on every surface I can think of. I have an eternity to think of ways to take this beautiful ass. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Alec breathed, excitement humming across his skin. His imagination was running rampant with possibilities, but the thought of his alpha bending him over something and pounding into him from behind almost had him cuming at the thought.

Magnus gripped his aching cock. He was going to draw this out. He knew how much his Shadowhunter loved to be filled, slowly. But he wanted to make it better. He wanted his young warrior to get lost in it. He wanted to take him to that place where his young love went when he let go.

Gently stroking his length he let his Shadowhunter watch as he pleasured himself, as he coated his hand with the slick lube as he let the pleasure wash over him. He jerked himself slowly, gently, reveling in the intensity of the pleasure that coursed through him. It was always so much better when he knew his angel was watching. His sweet omega brought him pleasure unlike anything he had ever known from his own ministrations, just by watching.

In all his 800 years he had never experienced pleasure like what his young warrior gave him. Even the simplest things were so much more than what they had ever been before him. Everything they did was so just so much more.

Rubbing his fingers together he thoroughly lubed his index finger. He knew he didn't need to give his lover much warning, but he would give him a little. He gently circled his angel's rim, watching as it clenched.

Alec loved watching his alpha touch himself. He had jerked himself off at the Institute so many times, thinking that all he would ever have in his life was his imagination as he jerked himself to release, believing that he would never find or have a mate. It paled in comparison to the breathtaking pleasure he had when his alpha asked him to touch himself, to pleasure himself, so he could watch. Now, seeing his warlock stroking is own cock, pleasuring himself as he watched, was mesmerizing. He understood then why his alpha like to watch him. Watching his alpha as he gently jerked his own length was beautiful.

Watching his warlock rub his fingers together, coating his fingers with the slick lube had his blood running hotter. Feeling his finger gently circling his rim he felt it clench. Before it could fully relax he lost his breath as his alpha thrust his finger into him, through his rim and into his tight channel. The pleasure of the intrusion was beautiful as his muscles clamped down around it.

"Breathe, love." Magnus crooned softly, waiting while his young warrior caught his breath. "That's it." He said softly as Alec drew in an easy breath. "How does that feel, love?" He asked.

"Wonderful." Alec breathed. He was aching for his alpha's cock, and he knew that he would get it, but he always enjoyed it when warlock fingered him. His warlock's touch always sent a beautiful shiver down his shine.

"Touch yourself, Alexander." Magnus said, knowing he was about to catch his young lover off guard. He gently curled his finger, softly stroking his Shadowhunter's prostate.

He watched as his sweet omega gasped as gripped his dick, jerking hard at his length. His listened to angel's beautiful moans as he jerked himself, his own cock aching as his young warrior's muscles clamped down around his finger, wishing desperately that his was his cock. He ached to fill his Shadowhunter, and he would, soon.

"That's it, sweetheart. Just like that." He said softly, pushing a strong burst of magic into his lover's already swollen prostate. He pulled back quickly as his angel came, warm, thick cum coating his firm, flat belly as he cried out.

Alec did as he was asked without question, his hand immediately going to his aching cock. He couldn't stop himself from jerking himself harder than he normally would. The feel of his alpha stroking his prostate was beautiful. He couldn't stop his soft moans as he pulled at his dick. He knew that his muscles were clamping down around his alpha's finger and wished that it was his thick cock inside him, filling him, not his finger. The burst of magic against his prostate had him crying out and his cock erupting in his hand. The force of his orgasm had his body trembling and his breath stopping short.

"Breathe, angel. Take a breath." Magnus said softly, watching for his Shadowhunter to draw in air as he gently rubbed his trembling thigh. "That's it, sweetheart. Look at me, angel."

Alec fought hard to take a breath; the intensity of his orgasm having stolen his ability to breathe. It took a moment for his straining lungs to draw in an air and his vision to clear. His warlock had caught him completely off guard with his magic. His alpha's soft voice was helping his mind to focus, his soft caresses on his thighs helping to ground him.

"Look at me, love." Magnus encouraged, thrilled that he had taken his young warrior so high with something so simple.

Alec's eyes finally focused enough that he could meet his warlock's gaze. Dazed crystal blue met warm chocolate brown.

"That was beautiful, sweetheart. You look utterly breathtaking."

It took Alec a second to register the rapidly cooling cum on his belly and abs. Looking back at his precious alpha he saw the lust blown pupils in the eyes he loved so much. His warlock was just as worked up as he was, and it thrilled him.

"I'm going to make you cum again, Alexander. I'm going to fuck you, and your going to cum again."

"My stele." Alec said.

"No, love. Without your stele."

Gently moving Alec's hand from his cock he took it in his own, pressing a soft wave of magic into him. His lover hardened in an instant. He gripped his young warrior's thighs, pulling him closer as he eased the head of his cock through his angel's tight rim. His loves surprised gasp turned into a moan as his muscles clamped down around him. The squeeze was magnificent, the pleasure washing over him in beautiful waves as he pushed further and further into his love. He had never entered his sweet omega this fast before and was overjoyed that he was taking it so beautifully. His moans and gasps as he entered him told him that it wasn't too much too fast, that he was enjoying it. His Shadowhunter was opening easily for him. He knew the second he hit his angel's prostate, his cry of pleasure was magnificent. There he stopped, letting the pleasure of the tight squeeze and overwhelming warmth of his angel's silky smooth channel crash down on him in breathtaking waves. The tight muscles clamping down around him was making his vision blur, making it hard to focus, but he had to focus through the pleasure. He was going to fucking into his sweet omega, hard, but he didn't want to hurt him. Pulling back he thrust gently in and out, just a little, sawing against his young warrior's already stimulated prostate. He was losing himself in his young love's cries of pleasure. They were the most beautiful music matched with the very best pleasure.

Alec gasped as his dick instantly hardened, the pleasure from his alpha's magic making his belly clench. He hadn't yet come down from it when his alpha's thick cock pushed through his rim, making him moan. Before his muscles had relaxed his warlock pushed further into him, faster than he ever had before. The stretch and fullness as he entered him was bliss. All he could do was moan out the beautiful pleasure as it crashed down on him in breathtaking waves. It was magnificent. He didn't think it could get any better until it did, until his alpha's cock hit his prostate. He cried out again, and again and again as his warlock thrust gently in and out of him, just a little, intentionally sawing against his already throbbing prostate. The pleasure was making his vision blur, he couldn't focus, and he really didn't want to.

The beautiful pleasure was all consuming, the very best pleasure. All he registered then was his alpha's cock filling him, slowly fucking into him, the intensity almost more than he could bare. Just as he was starting to adjust, just as his muscles were starting to relax around his warlock, just as he was able to savor the magnificent stretch and sense of fullness as his prostate was scraped again and again he lost his breath completely when his warlock slammed into him, every muscle in his body tensing as he saw stars. Then, then all he could register was the ecstasy that overtook him.

It took Magnus a second for his mind to snap back into focus. His angel's beautiful cries of pleasure and the pleasure coursing through him had made him lose himself. He had been slowly fucking into his Shadowhunter, his young love coming to pieces around him, but he wanted to give him more, he wanted more. Taking a firmer grip on his sweet omega's perfect thighs he slammed the last few inches into him, pulling him flush against him. He froze when his Shadowhunter tensed in every way, terrified that he had hurt him when his breath stopped short. The squeeze on his aching cock was perfect, but he had to tend to his young lover, to ensure that he was alright, to make sure that he hadn't gone too far.

"Alexander?"

"Move. Please move." Alec breathed.

That's all he could manage when he could draw in a breath, his lungs straining for air. But he was desperate for his warlock, desperate for his alpha to fuck him, hard.

His Shadowhunters soft words were a relief to him. The gut-wrenching fear he had felt vanished when his sweet omega drew in a breath and breathed out the words he needed to hear. He hadn't hurt his young warrior. Pulling back, almost out, he slammed back into his precious Alexander, listening to him cry out, over and over again as he fucked into him. His cries were of pleasure, not pain, and he reveled in it. 'He was built for this' he thought, not for the first time. His own pleasure was making it hard to breathe. The tightness of his angel's channel gripping him, his silky smooth walls caressing him with each glorious thrust as he pounded into him was pure ecstasy. He had been wanting this, needing this, craving this, but had always held himself back, afraid that he would hurt his one true love. Now he knew that he didn't have to. He knew then that his Shadowhunter had been made just for him, and in time would become the perfect lover. They fit together perfectly.

All Alec could do was cry out as he was bombarded with wave after wave of pleasure crashing down on him as his warlock thrust into him over and over again, fucking him. The pressure against his prostate was magnificent, the stretch and fullness perfect as his alpha pounded into him. With each glorious thrust all he could do was feel the ecstasy of it all. He had been wanting this, needing this, craving this, but had always been denied. Now he knew that he could have it. He knew then that his alpha had been made just for him. They fit together perfectly. When each magnificent thrust become more and more intense than the one before he couldn't tell his warlock that he was about to cum, he couldn't form the words to warn his one true love. All he could do was ride it out as his belly clenched, his eyes slammed shut, and his cock erupted, covering him in thick torrents of fresh cum.

He couldn't stop himself from pounding harder and harder into his beautiful Shadowhunter. With each magnificent thrust into him the pleasure just got better and better, something he didn't know was possible. Every time he thought he had had the best possible pleasure his young warrior somehow managed to push him further, giving him more. He knew that his sweet omega was about to cum when his eyes slammed shut. His angel could never force out the words when he was so lost in it, and that was just one more thing that he loved. With one last magnificent thrust he erupted into his beautiful angel's tight channel, filling him with rope after rope of cum, just as his Shadowhunter erupted between them. He saw stars when his young warrior's tight channel clamped down on him again and again as his aftershocks racked through him.

Alec felt it when his alpha came, when his cock erupted inside him, filling him with his warm cum. He felt the intensity of his warlock's orgasm as he rode out his own, as aftershocks racked through the man he loved. He had seen stars when he came, something he once never dreamed possible. He fought to catch his breath as he watched his warlock's aftershocks rack through him. The sight was beautiful, the sheen of sweat on his skin, his eyes slammed shut, and his own breath stuttering out as he cried out his name. His alpha always cried out his name when he came, and he loved it. He watched until he saw his warlock start to relax, until his breathing evened out.

"Alpha?"

Magnus' eyes snapped open at the sound of his angel's beautiful voice. Again he had gotten lost in his sweet omega, something that had never happened with any lover before him, and it was something that he cherished. Hearing his young warrior cry out his name when he came was something that he loved.

"Are you alright, angel?" He asked softly.

"Yes, alpha." Alec said softly, watching his warlock. "Are you?"

"Yes, angel." He said, carefully easing out of his Shadowhunter. "You were magnificent."

Alec blushed crimson.

"Oh how I love your blushes." Magnus said softly, gently rubbing Alec's still trembling thighs. He was sure they had to be aching. "Did you enjoy that, angel?"

"Very much." Alec said, unsure why his alpha would ask him that.

"I wasn't too rough?"

"No." He said, smiling at his wonderful warlock. He knew then that he had been afraid that he had hurt him. "It wasn't too rough."

"Good." Magnus said, relieved. He snapped his fingers, cleaning his young warrior up. "Do you know why I took you this way, angel? Like this?"

"No." He said softly.

"There's going to come a time when I will lay you down just like this. When I spread your perfect legs just like this. And when I will fill you, you will be just like this. Do you know when that will be?"

"No." He said, confused.

"When you're carrying our children, Alexander. Your next heat is less than five weeks away. I don't know what's going to happen, but if you fall pregnant, I'm still going to make love to you every chance I get.

When you fall pregnant, I will worship your body even more than I already do as I watch your belly grow and swell. And there will come a point when this is the only way that I can take you, because your belly will be too big for me to take you any other way.

So when that time comes, I'm going to lay you down just like this. I'm going to fill you, just like this. I will fill you slowly, gently, and tenderly, and I will make slow love to you. Do you understand?" He asked, softly caressing Alec's flat belly.

"Yes." Alec said whispered. The thought of is alpha taking him, of still loving him, of still loving his body as his belly swelled with the new lives they would create was a relief to him. Deep down he had been afraid that his warlock would no longer want him as he grew bigger, as his body changed. Even though he had seen their children in his dreams, so many of them, he had still been afraid.

Magnus could see the relief in his Shadowhunters beautiful blue eyes, the eyes that he loved so much. He realized then that his sweet omega had been feeling insecure about the changes his body would make during his pregnancies, even though he hadn't expressed them. He knew that he had been seeing their future children in his dreams and had suspected that he had been thinking about the pregnancy he kept seeing.

"I love you, Alexander. More than anything. I love your body and worship it. You have the body of a god. The only god I will ever worship.

And when my seed takes hold, as I plant it in your fertile womb, as our children grow inside you and you grow with them, I will love and cherish you even more, because you will be giving me something so precious that I never thought I would have. Something I never thought was possible.

You are perfection, angel. And as your body changes, you will be beautiful, in every way. I will worship it, and you, every step of the way. Okay?" He asked softly, his love for his Shadowhunter clear in his voice.

"Okay." Alec breathed. His heart was already full of love for his alpha, and it had just swelled even more.

"I promise you, no matter what happens, our children will be safe. We will find a way. I know that your worried about all that has to be done, but don't be. It will be alright. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Good. Now, your tired, love. You need to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day."

In a finger snap they were clean and dressed for bed.

"I don't know if I can." Alec said, crawling up the bed towards their pillows, his warlock right behind him.

"You need to try, angel." Magnus said, pulling his Shadowhunter into his arms.

"I know. I'm just not tired." He said, snuggling into his warlock's embrace, his actions betraying his words.

"You should be tired. It's been a long day and you have to be up in just a few hours."

"I know. Did you mean what you said?" He asked.

"About what, angel?"

"That we'll find a way?" He asked softly.

"Yes, sweetheart, I did. I have faith in you. In us. In all of us. We'll find a way." He said, pressing a soft kiss to the back of Alec's neck. "Will you let me help you sleep, love? You need the rest."

"If you make me a promise first."

"What's that, sweetheart?" Magnus asked, pulling his young warrior closer in his arms.

"That you'll show me the other ways you'll take me. When I'm pregnant."

Magnus couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, angel. I promise. Now, will you sleep for me?"

"I guess." He sighed. He didn't want to sleep, but he knew he needed it. Tomorrow was going to be a busy day.

"Close your eyes, love." Magnus said, holding his angel close. Pressing his hand flat against his sweet omega's firm belly he pressed a soft wave of magic into him. "Sweet dreams, sweetheart." He whispered as his precious Alexander fell gently into sleep.
