Hi friends! THANKS to all my awesome readers for reading this story. This will be the last chapter. Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

Alec tried to keep his eyes open, he really did but it was impossible after being awake for more than three days. A mundane in his case would surely have lost his mind by now. Being a shadowhunter was the only thing that was keeping him from going insane. His head had become foggy like he had drunk ten bottles of alcohol even if he hadn't taken a sip. Every single hair on his eyelash weigh more than it should...no scratch that.. everything about him felt heavy slowly pulling him into blissful state of dreamland

If this was how he was suppose to die, Alec wanted to open his eyes and capture last images of Jace, Izzy and the person who he loved the most and has been fighting so hard for him...Magnus. He wanted to tell Magnus how much he loves him. He wanted to apologise for giving up but couldn't get his tongue to work. He pushed his eyes open and Magnus's blurry face came into his view before they drooped close again

Magnus hadn't felt this helpless on centuries. Was he actually going to loose Alec today? It was like all his experience and knowledge were useless to him. Nothing was working on Alec and with every second he was getting closer to his death. He cupped Alec's face and yelled "Wake up! Please wake up"

Jace could feel it. His parabatai rune was burning fiercely on his side. He bend half way down and gasped as it throbbed. Alec was dying right infront of him and he couldn't do a damn thing about it. Tears welled up in his eyes as a scream tore out of his mouth "Alec!"

A ringtone

Izzy pressed the green button when she saw it was her mother calling. She needed to tell her about Alec "Mom.."

"Where are you Isabelle? There's a report of a demon attack in Bloomen alley. Where is Alec? I've tried to call him so many times but he isn't answering"

Demon attack..Alec... these words echoed in Izzy's mind and an idea struck her "Mom I'll call you back" she hang up without waiting for Maryse to reply and pulled Magnus towards Jace

"What are you doing?" asked Magnus "I'm not giving up on Alec"

"I'm not asking you to give up. I got an idea"

"What Iz?" Jace asked breathing heavily

"Mom said there's a demon attack. We have to get Alec over there"

Jace frowned "Are you crazy? You want to take Alec in demon hunting"

"Yes but only for him to see a threat on Magnus's life"

Magnus narrowed his eyes in confusion "Threat on my life? Care to elaborate?" Izzy nodded "Alec loves you very much Magnus. His worst fear is of losing you. What if we let a demon hurt you infront of Alec..."

"He might snap out of his sleep" finished Jace "Yes.. we should do that. Alec will come back for Magnus"

Magnus didn't know what to say as he felt little unsure about the plan but right now he was willing to try anything that would save Alec's life "Let's do it"

Izzy caught Magnus's arm "Wait! We didn't ask you if you're okay with..."

"Getting hurt?" Magnus smiled "I'm ready to get hurt million times for Alexander. Let's go" he and Jace hauled up an almost unconscious Alec who let out a small moan but otherwise remained unresponsive. Magnus opened a portal and stepped in with Izzy following them

XXXXXXXXXXX

There were atleast ten demons. Jace and Magnus got into action fighting them while Izzy stayed near Alec who was propped against a wall, couple of feet away, to protect him in case a demon came to attack him. Magnus and Jace quickly narrowed the demons down to two. Izzy knelt down next to Alec and waited for her signal

Magnus saw the demon raised his blade to attack him and this time he did nothing to defence himself. He gasped in pain when the demon drew the blade on his upper arm

Izzy shook Alec's shoulders harder and raised her voice "Alec wake up! Magnus is hurt! You hear me? Magnus needs you! Wake up!"

Jace took care of one more demon. He turned to see Magnus was clutching his bleeding arm and hoped Alec would wake up soon

Another slash on Magnus's chest and he yelled "ALEXANDER!"

Izzy desperately tried to wake her brother "Please Alec wake up! Magnus is in danger!"

Alec's eyes snapped open followed by a loud gasp. He pushed himself off the wall and scrambled on his feet. Izzy took a step back smiling in relief. Alec saw Magnus was on the ground bleeding and adrenalin rushed into his veins "Get away from him!" he wobbled few steps before picking up a sword from the ground and threw it straight on demon's chest

Magnus smiled broadly

Jace sighed in relief, parabatai rune regaining his normal rhythm

Izzy thanked all the angels above

Alec slowly walked towards Magnus and slumped down next to him "Are you alright?" Magnus nodded "I'm now. Thank you for saving my life"

"You're bleeding. Are you sure you're okay?" Alec had tears in his eyes, hands sluggishly trying to stop the blood which broke Magnus's heart. He got up and cupped Alec's jaw "I'm fine Alexander. You came back to me, that's what matters to me the most"

Alec frowned, adrenalin still pumping in his body. What was Magnus talking about? Came back from where? He saw Jace and Izzy run towards him and then gave him a big hug "What's going on?"

"You don't remember?" asked Jace pulling back and Alec looked at him and then at Magnus. Images of last three days came rolling infront of his eyes and he almost lost balance "By the Angel...that was all real?"

Magnus caught him wincing when his wounds burned on the contact "Unfortunately yes. You were falling into coma and Izzy thought the only way to bring you back... was you to see me get hurt"

Alec glared at Izzy through his blurry eyes

Magnus nudged Alec's hand "Don't be mad at her. I'll heal okay. I'm so happy her plan worked. Besides you only have last ten minutes left Alexander"

Alec nodded pulling away from Magnus as his eyes fell on the wounds. What if he hadn't woken up? How long was Magnus willing to get hurt for him? He wanted to yell at Izzy and even Magnus for taking huge risk but he was so tired. He sighed back in Magnus's arms who held him tightly "Let's get back home"

XXXXXXXXXX

"Can I please sleep now?" Alec begged, head rested on Magnus's lap and limbs dangling from the couch. He was trying hard not to close his eyes or even blink. Magnus bend down to place a kiss on his forehead and looked at Jace "How many minutes more?"

Jace's eyes never left the watch on his hand "Almost there...few more seconds..

"Jace..." Alec whined like a five year old

"...and you're up! Seventy two hours deadline is over!" he declared sighing in relief

"Oh Thank God!" Alec felt the weight lifted off his shoulders despite the insomnia keeping him down. Magnus blew out the breath he was holding. Finally Alec was free of virus. He placed his palm over Alec's exhausted eyes "Go to sleep darling. No one's going to stop you now"

"Thank you" Alec mumbled with a small smile. Izzy brought a blanket and covered her brother. Within seconds Alec was snoring softly as he sunk into deeper slumber, cheek nestled comfortably on Magnus's thigh who slowly slid a hand into Alec's hair, fingers carefully stroking the thick dark strands. Alec murmured unintelligibly at the contact and burrowed his face tighter against Magnus's thigh exhaling a content sigh

"It's been long seventy two hours. You both should go back to the institute and rest" said Magnus and Jace nodded "Okay and tell Alec not to worry about the institute. He can sleep as long as he wants"

"Yeah keep him here for atleast a week" said Izzy

Magnus smiled "I'll let him know. Thank you Izzy. Your idea saved Alec's life"

"I didn't do it alone. I'm glad he's back with us" Izzy looked at her brother one last time and walked out of the loft with Jace.

Magnus clicked his fingers to shut the door and smiled fondly looking at his sleeping boyfriend. He bowed down again and pressed a long kiss on Alec's cheek, his nose lightly grazing affectionately against Alec's skin. His fingers rubbed soothingly at the nape of Alec's neck and his thumb caressed Alec's cheekbone lovingly "Sweet dreams my Angel"
