Is there a Rune for Love? - Sarah Daniels (most important books to read TXT) 📗

about an hour of walking and driving we finally arrived outside a fairly large victorian house. 

Two teenage boys were playing soccer out the front I knew that they were both Shadowhunters from the agility the showed a brunette woman came out the door holding a tray in one hand and drink bottles in the other she handed a bottle each to the boys and placed the tray down Luke's hand made it's way to my back and went to push me forward "wait first...." I trailed off "relax there's nothing between us anymore I knew there wouldn't be, you would take Sophie over anyone anyday" he said I leaned up and softly kissed his cheek he pushed me toward Sophie and her boys "go" he said turning and walking away I turned and walked over to my older sister nervously "mom who's that" one of the boys asked "oh my god Jocelyn" Sophie said spotting me "hey" I replied smiling she came a bit closer until we were just a couple of feet between us "boys this is my younger sister Jocelyn, Joce these are my boys Michael and Anthony" she said gesturing to each boy in turn "it's nice to meet you boys" I said looking over at them "that makes you our aunt right" one of them said "yeah it does I guess" I answered laughing he was about to say something else when the other one Anthony I think came over and handed him a seraph blade "we should train, and nice to meet you aunt Jocelyn" Anthony said as they walked away from their mother and I Sophie moved in front of my hiding us from the boys as one of her hands made their way to mine "I missed you" she murmured "me too" I said softly looking down she moved her free hand up to my cheek cupping it and moving me to face her again she leaned down ever so slightly the question in her eyes I nodded my head once and she closed the gap between our lips starting of gently almost as if she was afraid I moved my arms around her neck and deepen the kiss rolling my eyes behind closed lids when she moaned softly we both pulled away "I missed that too" she whispered "what about you boys what if they find out" I said "look behind me but don't stare if I look or if someone else looks to long it's like they know or something it's kind of freaky" she mumbled I glanced behind her just as Michael knocked his brother to the ground leaning down to quickly kiss him they both got up and kept sparring "see I don't think they'd care" Sophie said "our families are messed up" I said she nodded and kissed me again "wait our families" she said suddenly pulling away "god don't do that you know what it does to me when you suddenly pull away like that" I groaned pouting "you haven't changed a bit since you were seventeen" she laughed "and what I meant is I have two girls twins actually they met today but i'm pretty sure they've already slept together" I said she grinned "so not much different from their mother then" she asked I shook my head and smiled "not really but I was a little better they had to wait until they were ninteen before they met where as I was thirteen the first time I conviced you to sleep with me" I pointed out "did you want to come inside have something to drink and whatnot" she asked I nodded and tangled our fingers together as she led me toward the house "get a room boys" she said as we walked by the boys as they kissed again "can we eat first" Michael asked "fine hurry up and get inside then" she sighed smiling as they raced inside "we currently have a spare room because those two have shared a room since they were babies and now they refuse to sleep seperate" she said as we followed them to the kitchen where Sophie served them each some quiche she held another plate in my direction with the same thing on it "thanks I haven't eaten all day" I said taking the plate from her gratefully "I guessed" she said I jumped a bit when my phone rang "hey Clary what's wrong" I said answering and instantly hearing my daughter's worried voice "wait Clary calm down, okay stop, take a breath, now try again slower so I can understand" I instructed she re-explained the situation trying to keep her voice even "okay go find Luke he'll bring you to me where's Elise" I asked she started panicking again "Clary stop i'll be there soon" I assured "okay love you too bye" I said hanging up "sorry slight problem at the institute my daughter Clary is freaking out" I explained "it's fine though you did have me a little worried when you said love you too" Sophie said "not possible I have loved anyone properly that way since you" I said shaking my head she nodded and leaned over the bench softly kissing me "I hope you bring them to meet me one day" she said pulling back "yeah I will bye" I said giving each boy a quick hug when they asked. "Mom" Clary called when I walked in the door "hey sorry it took me so long" I said as she led me over to her sister "Jocelyn what happened why did he attack here" Maryse said coming over to us "I don't know why he's attacking anywhere Maryse just like I say everytime" I sighed "he's your son" she snapped I whirled to face her glaring "he may be my son by birth but that is as far as it goes he is his father's son in every other sense I don't know that boy because he certainly isn't the same baby I gave birth to" I growled she looked shocked before backing away and going back over to her family "come on I have someone I want you two to meet" I said turning to the girls again they nodded and went upstairs to pack some stuff I went up to my own room and packed a bag for myself "you can't put the blame on me if i'm not here so i'll go stay somewhere else both girls can handle themselves and so can I so don't worry Maryse" I said turning to face the woman now standing at my door "where will you stay you apartment got destroyed" she asked "we'll stay with my sister" I said walking past her and downstairs where Clary and Elise were waiting for me "Sophie, the last time you two were together she walked away" Maryse said "no she didn't thanks to what you told our parents she was forced to marry there is a huge difference Mary" I said "so why are you going to see her now why not just leave things the way they were Lyn" she asked "you have no right to be questioning my actions Maryse not when you have secrets of your own and I know the worst one of all" I said quietly "we agreed that never happened" she said "I have to go I need to get my daughters to safety because here isn't I suggest you do the same" I murmured walking away it didn't take us long to get there the girls looked around the question clear on their faces "Joce back so soon" Sophie said coming out the front I walked up dropping my bag in favor for wrapping my arms around her neck and kissing her "you have no idea have bad the last couple of hours have been" I muttered pulling away breathing heavily "I might have an idea or two" she whispered pressing her lips to my forehead as I held her close "want some coffee or something else" she asked "just water thanks" I said finally pulling away reaching down beside me to grab my bag again "coming" I called back to the girls once we were all inside the boys came back downstairs and hugged me saying a quick hello before each grabbing an apple and racing upstairs once again "sorry about them they've spent the past forty or so minutes racing around the house doing god knows what" Sophie said "Soph can I ask you something" I asked turning to my older sister "you're my baby sis course you can" she said handing me a glass of water "you know what nevermind it doesn't matter" I mumbled shaking my head to clear the tears burning in my eyes I looked down at my glass not at her until she crouched down in front of my chair looking up at me "Joce what's going on" she asked worried "nothing it's fine" I said reaching a hand up to wipe my eyes "well anytime you feel like talking you know i'll listen right" she said I nodded before leaning down slightly pressing a soft kiss to her lips "I know thank you" I said quietly.

Clary's POV

"Mom what's going on" I asked looking between her and the brunette crouched in front of her "boys you want to come downstairs and meet them" mom called out a few seconds later two teenage boys raced downstairs coming to a stop in front of my mom they had a hold of each other's hand and were kind of hiding them or trying to at least I jumped when I felt Elise slip her hand into my own before turning my head to quickly smile at her "girls this is my older sister Sophie and her two sons Anthony and Michael, boys, Soph these are my two girls Clary and Elise" mom said pointing to each person in turn Sophie looked at us confused when we pointed to each other and changed the names "stop it you two" mom pointed to me "that one's Clary she has the blue heart gem on her necklace" she said "and the one that has the red gem is Elise" she added pointing to the other red haired girl "oh so that's how you know" Elise said "nope that's a way for others to know" she said laughing we both groaned at the same time "that's enough you pair" she chaised "are we going to be staying here for a while" I asked "if Sophie doesn't mind" mom said glancing at her sister "stay as long as you want Jocelyn I don't mind it'll be nice having us all together even if we are all a little weird" Sophie said laughing "what do you mean by weird" I asked "you two from what I heard might have gone a little far for normal sisters, the boys have been lovers since they turned twelve and your mom and I used to date although I hope we can go back to that" she said smiling at mom quickly mom nodded and kissed her cheek before they both stood up "how did you know" I asked my face flushing dark red "I guessed" mom said "is there somewhere we can put our
