Indalace

STOMACH TIED in knots Indiana stood alone, in the early hours of the morning, watching her mom. Indiana was getting married. Mated. And her mother wasn't gonna be there to watch, the Omega wasn't too sure how to feel.
She was sad, always imagining her mom walking her down to isle but things were so different now, she was getting mated, not to one but two amazing men and her mother hadn't even met them.
She missed her mom, that was a given, but she couldn't help but feel the unquenchable anger towards her. She had left her in the dark about her birth rite, her world, and the thought of not being in this world, not meeting Alec and Jace, well that just made her even angrier.
The gentle touch of a hand grabbing her own drew her attention to her sister, who too looked for comfort in the form of their unconscious mother. Pulling her hand away, still angry about the previous nights revelation they stand in silence. Two girls felt content to finally have their mom safe after all this time.

Footsteps entered the room, alerting Indiana to Luke's presence,
"She looks so out of it, unreachable, so far off. She feels distant. She's here but not really." Indi told her family,
"She's gonna be fine." Clary said,
"I'm sorry, Indi, Clary. We should have told you everything before this got-" Luke tried to apologise, but it did little good now,
"Luke, we can hash all that out when we wake Mom up. The important thing now is that we have her back." Clary said as the twins looked at their mother in hope.

"I was looking for you Indi. How long have you been here? I don't mean to interrupt your-" The brunette Beta apologises looking at the three,
"No, stay for a minute." Clary says as Indiana smiles softly, butterfly's rushing round her body at the sight of her Beta,
"I gotta get back to the station. Call me if anything changes?" Luke says before exiting the room and the institute.

"So, how is she?" The Beta gently asks entwining his fingers with the shorter redheads,
"The same, I guess." Clary says,
"Still unconscious, unmoving, unaware. It hurts." Indi whispers burying her head into Alec's chest.

"Alec, I know you and I don't always see eye to eye on things. Actually, we never see eye to eye on anything, but I do want to thank you for everything you've done to get my mom back." Clary says,
"Actually I-I should thank you two. I don't know what would have happened to Isabelle after the trial if you hadn't returned the Cup. You saved my sister, so thank you." Alec expresses his gratitude.
"Okay too much. A whole new world I can handle but you two thanking each other, way too much." Indi chuckles softly,

Both the Shadowhunters laugh in agreement, Indiana's phone begins to vibrate, excusing herself she steps away,
"Hey Mag." She says,
"Kitten tell me why I have to hear about your engagement from someone that's not you!" He berates causing Indiana to laugh,
"Sorry Mag, it's just so much has happened-" She starts,
"Oh kitten I was only joking." He cuts her off,
"So do you know where your going to do your second rune?" He asks curiously,
"What's that?" Indiana inquires,
"Oh kitten you must come over so we can talk. Shadow World Matings are different from mundane marriages." He states lightly as Indiana's nerves pick up.
"See you soon." Is all she says before making her way out of the institute and towards Magnus.

"Magnus you said they were different, how different did you mean?" Indi asks as she sits on his couch,
"Well for a starter you wear gold not white."
Magnus grins,
"That I can deal with." Indiana smiles,
"Where mundane would exchange rings, you will draw a mating rune on each partners arm. But another rune must be drawn on each parters heart, some Shadowhunters choose to do this on public others in private." Magnus explains as Indiana places her hand on her heart imagining the burn,
"What else?" Indi asks wanting to be completely prepared,
"Now the mating bite is always done in private-" Magnus is quickly cut off,
"Woah hang on a fucking bite, their gonna bite me!" Indiana shouts with panic,
"And you will bite them as well." Magnus answers with amusement.
