You felt invisible while Maryse was talking to Alec about you, even as you were sitting right next to them.
"You can't be serious Alec! She is an embarrassment to everything Shadowhunters stand for! She doesn't care for the rules and while being with her, her name falls with ours. I can't let that happen!"
As much as the words of Maryse hurt you it was way more important for you how Alec would react to it. You loved him but you couldn't change who you were and clearly not what his mother or the Clave would think of you.
Yes, you broke the rules before and you would do it again, but only if they were wrong in such points. You wouldn't let somebody innocent die just because the rules wanted it that way.
"(Y/n) believes in equally between us and downworlders. Maybe the Clave can't see it but I can!" Alec gave back and shortly looked at you, before his gaze returned to his mother. "I am with her. Accept it or not but this won't change, no matter what you do."
