It takes hours to board up all the windows and doors. When it's finished the Alpha orders everyone to get some rest while they can. It's going to be one hell of a night. Everyone either picks a mattress to pass out or finds some low key activity to busy themselves with. Cooking, cleaning, knitting. Anything to distract from the constant whispers of the moon.

And that's it. There is nothing else to do but wait for the sun to set and Blackwell to arrive.

You take a deep breath and look around the den. Everyone is milling about, either trying to be busy, or trying to get some rest before the sun sets.
Marco is standing by one of the boarded off windows, Vicky is pacing back and forth like a caged tiger, and the kids are colouring in Disney princesses in the corner. Addie and Elma are watching over them.

The Alpha is nearby. You can't see him, but his scent is fresh and warm in the air. You haven't seen Ed in a while. He's probably in the spare bedroom.
