Meanwhile Alec was being forced to stay in Victor's bedroom or office, depending on what Victor wanted to do. Alec hated that Victor had so much control over him, he wanted to fight back so badly. But Victor had threatened to make Alec watch as he raped Simon and he couldn't face that or be the reason Simon had to suffer more.

At the moment Alec was chained to Victor's office chair. But thankfully Victor had a long meeting so he had some time away from the monster. Though he had made sure Alec wasn't alone, he had an alpha shadowhunter guard Alec. Alec knew the alpha, they used to be close before he presented. But when he became an omega Jake lost all respect for him.

Alec didn't like the way Jake kept staring lustfully at him. He was scared Jake would force himself on him, though it had been an hour and Jake hadn't yet. He was suprised he hadn't. Had Victor made him swear not to? He wouldn't put it past Victor to threaten Jake into promising not to touch him.

"Jake please let me go".

"That's not happening, you are an omega and omegas are meant to please alphas".

"You were my friend, how could you change so much just because I'm an omega?"

Jake moved close to Alec and cupped Alec's face ignoring Alec's flinch, "Like I said you are only good for pleasing alphas. You are the oldest Lightwood, I thought for sure you would be an alpha. You have no idea how disappointed I was when I found out you are an omega".

"You were always against omegas?"

"Yes, I just hid it from you because I knew you were different and respected omegas. I was hoping that when you became an alpha I could court you and we could have become mates".

"I wouldn't have agreed to let you court me, I was in love with someone else", Alec said angrily.

But Jake just smirked, "Right, your parabatai. I wouldn't have cared if you didn't love me, it is all about image. Your family is the equivalent of nobility for mundanes, it would have made my career to be mated to you. But you ruined everything by being an omega!"

"I can't control that, you're willing to let me suffer because of something I have no control over?"

Jake straddled Alec and gave him an unsettling grin, "Yes, you more than deserve it. Victor said I wasn't allowed to hurt you. But he still has an hour left of his meeting, he doesn't have to know".

"No please get off me", Alec said but he was just ignored.

Lorenzo had managed to trick Victor into letting him in the insitute and he secretly brought Magnus with him. Magnus waited while Lorenzo seduced Raj. Lorenzo successfully managed to gain Raj's attention and had even got a date from him. When Lorenzo gave the signal Magnus crept into the room they were keeping Simon. Magnus' heart clenched in pain when he saw Simon was tied to the bed, it wasn't hard to guess what Raj had been doing to him.

Simon flinched when he heard someone come in the room, afraid Raj had come back. But when he looked up he was immensely relieved to see Magnus. "Magnus? You came for me".

"Unfortunate choice of words. But yes of course I wouldn't let them keep you here".

Simon blushed when he realized what he had said, he hadn't meant it to sound that way. "What about Raj? He will be back any minute".

"Don't worry about him, Lorenzo is distracting Raj. Simon is it safe to use my magic to free you, did Victor have a warlock enchant the chains?"

"No it's safe for you to use magic. I'm suprised he didn't have my chains enchanted, he's a smart guy I would have thought he would have done that".

"He may be smart but he is also cocky. He was probably overconfident now that he has Alexander", Magnus said as he used magic to break Simons' chains and free him. Magnus was suprised when Simon hugged him as soon as he was free.

"Thank you for saving me, I was so scared I would be trapped in here literally forever".

"I would do anything for the ones I love".

Simon couldn't hold back his tears when Magnus said that. He had been through so much and was scared that he was damaged goods now. But Magnus had still saved him. He didn't know Magnus loved him and it meant so much to Simon that he did. He hoped Jace would still love him. Magnus comforted Simon until he calmed down enough to leave, thankfully with Lorenzo as a distraction for Raj they had time on their side.

When Simon was ready to go, Magnus portaled Simon out of the institute and back to his loft. Jace, Izzy and Clary all engulfed Simon in a huge hug while Magnus portaled back to the institute. He wouldn't leave without Alec safe in his arms.
