~THIRD PERSON POV~
What do you mean they're coming?" Edward asked now serious.
"Before I didn't see them coming so early but from what I'm seeing now it seems they'll arrive by mid-day tomorrow," said Alice looking panicked.
"Alright look at what we are going to do Alice you are going to pick up Bella from her house this way Charlie doesn't get caught in the crossfire. As much as your going to hate it, Edward, you will be watching over Bella along with Jacob somewhere far away from the battlefield and everyone else prepare I'm going to call Sam," said Carlisle.
"Why do I have to be with Bella," Edward groaned out in annoyance.
"You brought her into this mess so you're going to protect her," said Rosalie.
"It's going to be alright Edward," said Alice but the mind reader didn't listen as he only thought about the safety of his mate during this whole ordeal.
Sam who finished talking to Carlisle called the members of the pack who arrived at his house.
"What's up Sam?" Jacob asked. 
"The newborn army will arrive tomorrow and as a precaution, we are going to start preparing. Jacob since you're the strongest and the new alpha, Carlisle suggested you stay with Edward and Bella as extra protection," said Sam.
"Why?" groaned out Jacob.
"Please?" Sam pleaded.
"Fine I'll protect Bella and Sierra will stay here with Emily," he replied.
"She's my new daughter so, of course, she's staying here," said Emily as she held up a roller in her hand as a weapon causing the males to laugh.
"Alright let's head out I'm going to pick up Sierra while you guys patrol. Sam inform the members of Sierra's pod that are on land about what's happening and to advise them to stay in the water," instructed Jacob as he grabbed his jacket and left.
Meanwhile in a secret area beside the Thunderbird and Whale book store was Sierra being viciously attacked by Elaina.
"You are weak, you will not be able to protect your pod as a good leader unless you tap into your instincts," lectured Elaina as she continued to slam her staff against Sierra's.
"I am trying," said Sierra as she continued to defend herself.
"You are getting soft, show me your mates aren't your weakness, and stop blocking my attacks and start pushing forward," said Elaina. This continued until the poor siren was knocked down landing on her butt.
"You're a siren, a warrior of the sea, a leader, and most of all a predator. Until you can fully bring out the true predator in you, you'll never beat your sister. She will use what you lost against you, your soul pearl," said Elaina.
"Now no more blocking, you are going to push forward and attack you can't always be defensive or she will tire you out before heading for the kill and when she does no one in your pod will be safe," continued Elaina before the two continued their fighting stance and going at it again. This time around Sierra attacked and Elaina was glad to see the girl improving.
"Good you've done well," said Elaina as she watched the siren take a breath.
"Dear as much as I wouldn't want to interrupt your session Sierra's boyfriend is here," said Kevin.
"Thanks, dear," replied Eliana as Sierra placed the staff down and head to the bookstore.
"Jake," shouted Sierra as she ran to the shifter hugging him.
"I hope training went well and you behaved yourself," he said as he kissed her forehead.
"She improved," replied Eliana.
The shifter and his imprint bid the couple goodbye as they made their way to Jacob's truck.
"Sia the newborn army will be arriving tomorrow and so I wanted you to stay with Emily throughout the fight is that okay?" he asked.
"Where will you and Edward be?" She asked.
"Sadly due to Edward bringing Bella into the supernatural world we've been tasked to protect her throughout the whole ordeal so we'll be on the mountain," he replied.
"Alright stay safe," she said.
"I'll drop you off at Emily and stay with you until later when I have to leave," he said as she kissed him on the cheek. They continued to drive when along the way they saw Edward. He  didn't hesitate to take his mate into his arms and give her a kiss as she told him to stay safe and not get hurt. They kissed once more before Edward told Jacob to meet him at the treaty line.
After arriving at Emily, Sierra kissed the male once more before he transformed into his auburn wolf and left. She kept in contact with her pod in case something happens in the water. The two girls decided to turn the television on and watch vampire diaries as they argued how cool the Cullens would of been if they we like the vampires in the series. They even went as far as to fangirl of the guys they thought were hot.
At the treaty border the pack of shifters being lead by the large Alpha Jacob Black stood facing the members of the Olympian coven along with Bella Swan. Carlisle spoke with the wolves as they came up with their plan and it was decided that while Edward and Jacob guard Bella, Seth would be their middle man who would update them on what's happening during the fight. 
Feeling nervous, Bella went on Jacob's back much to his displeasure with Edward by his side.
'I wish I was lying down in Sierra's arms right now,' thought Jacob.
"Me too," said Edward. 
"Me too what?" Bella asked.
"Oh nothing," the two males answered in sync although Jacob's answer came out as a mini roar.
They continued with their journey as they arrived at the top of the snowing mountain. Since he was warm Jacob reluctantly allowed Bella to hug him for warmth as Edward set up the two tents. He placed a heater in one of the tents and told Bella she can go ahead and get some rest.
"Are you staying in the tent with me?" she asked.
"Ummm no I'm staying in the other with Jacob since we'll be going over some plans and don't want to wake you," said Edward as he didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings by telling her that he feels repulsive when near her. Bella didn't say anything more as she head into the tent leaving the males to themselves as the blew a breath of relief that she didn't argue.
