Magnus focused all of his energy to close the hole leading to Edom. He had to do this quickly, before any more of those awful wraith demons came out of it. As far as demons go, wraith demons were one of his least favorite. He felt his magic flood through his veins and through his palms. 

Suddenly his concentration broke off when he heard his name being yelled. He looked up and saw Alec running towards him, the wraith dragon coming after him. 

Shit, Magnus thought to himself and he willed the portal to be closed faster. If he stopped now, he risked reopening it or even making it bigger. But if he didn’t pull away, Alec would probably die. His heart ached, although he told Alec that they couldn’t be together, that didn’t mean that he lost his feelings for him. No, his feelings were still there and strong. He loved Alec, and probably will for a long time. 

He pushed himself. The demon was starting to swoop towards Alec. Magnus’ heart lurched. No, Alec couldn’t die. Magnus willed his magic farther, relieved when the portal closed. As soon as it does, Magnus released a big ball of magic towards the demon, the power knocking Magnus to his knees. Alec dove down to dodge it and the wraith dragon was obliterated. Magnus felt happiness come over him. Alec was safe, he was out of danger. Magnus silently promised himself that he would watch Alec carefully for the rest of the battle. He knew Alec was more than capable but he still worried.

Magnus and Alec made eye contact, Alec was silently thanking him. All Magnus wanted to do was to pull Alec into his arms and kiss him. But he couldn’t, at least not now. Right now they had to stop these demons and Valentine, as much as Magnus wanted to talk to him, he knew that it had to wait. 

He got up and walked over to Alec and held out his hand. Alec grabbed ahold and Magnus pulled him up, “You okay, Alec?” Magnus asked.

Alec nodded, “Yeah, thank you.”
