It was unnerving to think that the last time Dean had seen this much activity in The Grove, it had been both during the ambush of Damian’s pack, and the repairs that occurred afterward. Except now, people weren’t rushing around to clean up or fix anything, but rather were all moving about to try and brace for the coming battles. Supplies from caches outside the main living area of The Grove were being pulled back from the potential danger zone on the outer edges of the territory, while supplies from within The Grove were shifted about. A handful of pack members were moving from building to building, checking each to make sure that the fire-resistant treatments that had been used were still in place.

Damian and his allies were still at least a couple of days shy of posing a threat to them, yet Dean was nervous all the same. They had all learned a harsh lesson in just how clever the sneaky bastard could be, and they wouldn’t put it past him to send a few smaller groups forward to antagonize them and test for any weaknesses in their defenses. That was exactly why Mikael was out seeing to the defenses on their perimeter, making sure their scouts were prepared and in proper position.

Considering everything Dean already knew about him, it had been a bit of a surprise to know that Mikael was pretty knowledgeable when it came to battle and war. He knew that his mate could fight, having seen part of the battle during the ambush months ago. Being a warrior and being a commander were two different things, however. Yet, Mikael was entrusted by Samuel to go out to the edges of their territory and make sure their defenses were dependable, which said something. The idea that learning how to fight in a war would have been part of Mikael’s education, while growing up as the heir to the pack’s alpha, hadn’t occurred to him until then.

There wasn’t much that Dean could do to help prepare, either. He knew nothing about war, only able to guess at what an individual could or would do, and that was the extent of his knowledge. To try and help prepare things in The Grove would probably leave him underfoot more than being of any use. Before Mikael had left that morning to see to the outer defenses, he had told Dean that he was wanted in the main house sometime in the afternoon. Dean was hoping that whatever Samuel wanted, it was something that would help make him feel more useful than he did now.

His work with the exercise Talon had given him with the fern had met with no further progress. All he ended up hearing was the sounds of The Grove around them, and his own breathing. He didn’t know where to begin to start to ‘listen’ to the plant, either. His mind was running rampant with all sorts of different thoughts about the upcoming days that he couldn’t hear the sounds of the trees from the older part of The Grove anymore either.
