Issa's pov

We walked into his office and we started looking at plans. "I want you to stay behind" he told me as soon as he sat down. I nit my eyebrows together,"Why you can teach me how to fight, and it's most likely vampires so my blood will distract them and they will bounce off my force field." He shook his head,"That won't do because we don't know about the strengths and weaknesses of your force field. It may take more energy than you have. What if it breaks and I can't protect you? I would die if they got you. I can't risk that." He finally sucked in air. I sat down in defeat. "So I just sit here until you may or may not come back alive. And what if they take Alec again." I sobbed the last sentence. I ran into Alex's arms like a child and cried. He tried soothing me but it didn't work at first because I couldn't calm my self. When we heard crying from all over the house. Some people burst into the room and said,"Are you alright Luna?" I nodded and wiped at my face. Alex sent them out and held me close to him. I was calm and comfortable. I started tracing his facial features and he closed his eyes. We relaxed as we heard all of the crying and screaming stop. He started leaning into my touch, when his angry mother and father came in. "I found the location, I have spies going in for numbers. When they get back, we will prepare our best fighters and head out. The woman and children will stay behind. Ladies, will y'all go and prepare for our children and the rest of the woman to stay behind?" We nodded and muttered,"Bunch of sexist people". We moved everyone into the basement, which had two entrances, so we had guards set up. Next we made lunch for the guards before they left for battle. We packed several bags with some food, nothing big where you can smell it. We finished the last bag as there werewolf army marched in and grabbed a few. They took them and left the kitchen to go prepare to fight.

----------------- later that day

It was night when they left. Alex kissed me long and hard. I cried but told him to go anyways. I was in pain and I could see in his eyes that he was too. I attempted to smile, but it was a grimace. He had done the same. They left and I stood there. Finally his mom came and pulled me into the basement, which had everything we needed to live down here for a while. We stayed down there for a few days, only moving upstairs to wait for the men. They didn't return for 3 days. Finally they come and I smell Alex. I run straight to him and he scoops me up and just holds me and inhales my scent. "Please don't leave again." I begged. He nodded in agreement. Then I asked the question I dreaded. "Did you find him?"
