“Rosa! Wake up, sweetie. It’s your birthday, we’re going out tonight,” Izzy banged on the door. Rosa groaned herself awake. “Hey, Rosa. Can I come in?”

“Sure, Iz,” a raspy voice answered. The door swung open. Izzy came in holding three dresses.

“I got dresses for you because you don’t have any,” smiled Izzy. Rosa rubbed her eyes and started to complain.

“Iz, do we have to go out today?”

“Yes, of course. It’s your 18th birthday. Why wouldn’t we?”

“Can’t we just stay in and watch movies or something?” Izzy frowned. Suddenly, there was a knock that caused both girls to turn their attention to the door.

“Happy Birthday, girlie.” There was a tall dark haired boy standing underneath the doorway. He was smiling.

“Alec, thanks,” sighed Rosa.

“And we all know you hate going out but you need to today. It’s your birthday; it’s an order,” laughed Alec. Izzy hung her dresses in Rosa’s closet. She then went under the blankets with Rosa. The latter girl made space for Iz.

“You know what, Alec, maybe it is better to stay in,” Izzy looked up to Alec. Rosa and Alec looked at each other in confusion. It is unknown that Izzy, the partygoer, wants to stay inside. Alec crawled into bed as well, forcing the girls to move.

“Iz, are you okay?” asked Alec.

“Perfectly fine, why do you ask?” Izzy innocently said. She suddenly burst into laughter. “I’m just joking! You guys should have seen your faces.” After a while, Rosa and Alec started to laugh too.

“You guys are loud as fuck,” complained the blond boy now taking Alec’s previous position.

“Oh shut up, just get in,” Alec held the blanket upwards so Jace could lay down with his siblings. Jace rolled his eyes, but still went to lay down.

“So, Rosa, have you decided when-,” Jace started but was quickly shushed by Alec and Izzy. Rosa immediately felt confused.

“Decide what?” she squinted towards her friends she known her entire life. Alec couldn’t meet her eyes, Jace pretended to have fallen asleep, and Izzy laughed nervously.

“You know, I’m sure it’s nothing. Jace must be so tired he said things even he didn’t understand. Oh, look, he’s asleep! I should take him to his bed,” said Izzy, harshly, in a way scolding Jace. Quickly, Izzy and the ‘sleeping’ boy left. Rosa was left confused with only Alec in bed with her.

“Alec, brother, what did he mean? If I decided what?” Rosa begged Alec to tell her.

“Sorry, but not yet. Okay?” Alec said seriously to the point that it made Rosa nervous. The boy suddenly smiled. “But it’s truly nothing to worry about.” Alec patted Rosa in the back and left. Rosa, left alone, was consumed with her thoughts and theories about what they could possibly mean. I mean, it was obviously a big deal. They shushed Jace real quick. Rosa was still very tired so she decided to take a nap.

After Rosa woke up, she washed up and felt like training. She convinced Jace to train with her. The swords clanged against each other as Rosa tried to make Jace speak.

“Jace-,” Rosa started before her weapon was thrown to the ground by Jace.

“No questions, only ask if they’re about bettering your skills. Because we all know you need help in that,” he joked. Rosa picked up her sword and continued to train.

“You’re such a shithead, Jace,” grunted Rosa. She blocked Jace and then pushed out, now causing Jace to lose his sword. Before he could bend down and grab it, Rosa placed her sword’s point above Jace’s adam’s apple. “Now tell me, Jace, what am I going to decide?” Jace’s eyes quickly glanced towards Rosa’s lower body. Before she knew it, Rosa was tripped to the ground, her sword a feet away from her. Above her, she can see the blond boy smiling at her.

“Rosa, it was nothing, okay? Forget about it. I have to go now because I promised Clary we would go out for lunch today.” Jace helped Rosa get up and left. She frowned at the figure of Jace leaving the institute. Maybe it really was nothing.

PROLOGUE chapter 1

raphael knew rosa's blood was the best out there. him and his clan must get to it, even if it means killing her.

It was the middle of a rainy night. The young couple stood in front of the New York institute. They had a basket with a baby girl covered in blankets, fast asleep. Once again, Orquidea tried to convince her husband, Amaranto. “Babe, I just don’t think it’s a good idea. What if they don’t see Rosa in time? She can die from the cold!”

“Tranquila, calm down. Orquidea, last week you told me you weren’t ready for a baby and now you’re worrying about her. Amor, let me tell you the truth. I’m not ready to be a good father. Plus, I’m sure the Lightwoods would take good care of her.”

“How? Amaranto, how can you be so sure?” Her motherly instincts made her tear up for a baby she’s about to give up.

“It’s the only thing we can do. We’re just not ready for her. She’s too powerful.”

Together, they closed the gap between them and the building and set the basket in front of the door. Amaranto placed a letter containing her name and other personal information in the basket with the child. They knocked on the door and then rang the doorbell. Quickly, they ran into the night before Maryse or Robert would open the door.
