"Hope," Alec said. "She's a werewolf. She hung out here as a wolf, sometimes, for a while. She seems nice. She had to make a big deal on the network about saying she's not in love with Magnus, or her girlfriend, because they're Dominants too. I told her if she needed time with Magnus, she could say she was here to see me, to try to help a little. She's all white, when she's a wolf." Alec looked wry. "I could try to make you a chart for how Magnus' relationships work, but it'd be pretty complicated. He and Caliban are close, and George was like the third part of his marriage. Ragnor's his best friend, but not actually from his dimension. Those are most of the ones you'll see at the house, anyway ... usually."
"If you missed your chance, so did I. But there's no point in thinking about what we didn't do there when we have what we CAN do here waiting, right? You can't be replaced. Our souls are bound together. Loving John doesn't mean I can't love you. It just means it's a little more complicated."
"You can talk me out of some things. Not that," Alec said. "I've spent my whole life trying to talk myself out of it because I thought it made me a pervert and a deviant who was betraying you. If that didn't manage it, you trying to tell me to do it when I know you want me definitely isn't going to work. But thanks for not trying." Alec nipped at his lip gently after the kiss. "It's fine. That doesn't mean you shouldn't get to talk about it."
