My Love

The Wedding

3rd Person POV

Alec paced nervously as Isabelle tried fixing his hair, which he wasn't even aware of. The little paper in his hands was far more important, they held the vows to the love of his life.

"Alec!" Isabelle shouted as she slapped his shoulder, getting his attention.

"What Iz?" Alec asked, slightly confused.

"Stop moving. I'm trying to make you pretty for your fiance, soon-to-be husband. Your vows will be fine," Isabelle said.

"Magnus thinks I'm pretty no matter what" Alec mumbled, rolling his eyes at his sister.

"I'm doing the job of two people Alec, please help me out. Jace isn't here, Clary's off doing Angel knows what. Mom is organizing everything. We are people down, please help me out" Isabelle stressed.

"Sorry, I'm just nervous. And Jace isn't here, I really wanted him here. I didn't think he'd miss my wedding" Alec apologized.

"Neither did I. Next time I see him, I'm kicking his ass. I can't believe he did this to you, to us" Isabelle replied.

"Alexander you look so handsome!" Maryse exclaimed as she entered her son's dressing room.

Alexander was wearing a golden tux with a dark purple tie. He had a light sheen of purple glitter in his hair, at Magnus' request, and black shoes.

"Thanks Mom. Is everything going alright?" Alec replied to his mother.

"Everything's perfect, I just came from Magnus and he's getting ready right now. Paris is in town, waiting wiyh the other guests. We are still waiting on Clary and Simon however, along with Aline and a few others. Aline and Jia should be here soon. Clary and Simon were here earlier but I can't find them now. People are filling in the waiting room as we speak" Maryse replied, filling her two children in on the details.

"So everything is going according to plan?" Alec asked, messing with the hem of his jacket.

"From the color of the chandeliers to the rug on the floor" Maryse answered with a confident smile

"What about... Is he... Any signs of..?" Alex stumbled over his words, not wanting to ask the question but dying to know the answered.

"No Alec, I don't think Jace is coming" Maryse replied.

"Lightwood," Raphael called from the door.

"What do you want Raphael?" Isabelle asked, a non-amused expression on her face.

"I'm not here for you, Isa. I'm here for your brother. It was going to be Ragnor but Magnus was whining about his hair or something like that" Raphael replied.

"Why are you here? Is something wrong with the ceremony?" Maryse asked.

"Can I speak to the one I'm here to see? What's up with the two of you answering for him?" Raphael asked, rolling his eyes.

"What's up Raph?" Alec questioned.

"I'm just here to threaten you. You know "I'll kill you if you hurt Magnus", "you leave him I'll kill", "you make him cry, i kill you". Basically that stuff. I'm under strict orders from Ragnor to scare the shit out of you." Raphael replied, casually talking as if he was describing the weather.

"How nice of him, send Ragnor my best" Alec replied with a laugh.

Quicker than he could register Raphael was in front of him, the vampire's bared fangs inches ways from the main artery in his neck. The vampire straightened up, eye-to-eye with Alec, his cold gaze piercing Alec's soul.
