He knew this moment was stressful for not only himself, but everyone else in the pack. The Ulfric running out into the snowy woods alone to investigate a howl that indicated something horrible? Unthinkable, but Markus was not one to sit idly by and let things happen. He was a go getter. He reached behind himself and yanked his pistol free before slapping it into Marrec’s hand “I don’t know where Sasha is.. You keep everyone safe.” As he heard the hunter speaking to his pack he turned and pointed a finger. “Keep your trap shut you’re a guest, if you over do your bullshit I’ll kick your ass naked out in the snow, and then when they find your frozen body they’ll think you’re some kind of retarded exhibitionist.” He looks to the rest of the pack “Beat the shit out of him if he tries anything.” He swings the door that lead to the den open and ran out, but as he moved out the door he let his hand stroke down Val’s arm. With that though he was gone and out the front door sprinting through the snow.
Markus didn’t look back as his legs carried him through the snow and it didn’t seem to impede his movements either. Though with every step something about him seemed to change, hair began to grow from his skin, his eyes took on darker look as the iris slowly turned to a burnished gold. His face began to elongate and bones cracked through it didn’t seem to pain him, and seemed smoother than the younger wolves went through. He leap into the air just as he reached the treeline and when he landed he was full wolf, in lupus form he was huge his back on all fours about five feet high, and he could get up to 7 feet standing on his hind legs. His enormous form tore through the snow as fast as he could as he moved through the woods. He could smell Sam and knew he was getting closer, then there was blood in the air, wolf’s blood, but it wasn’t sam’s it was others of the pack members who had gone out earlier.
Growling he increased his output to reach the site quicker, leaping into the clearing he growled in every direction looking for any danger, but seeing none. That’s when he saw Sam next to the other wolve’s bodies and his brows came down as he slowly walked over sniffing around the ground. ‘Wasn’t the hunter in the house.’ he thought to himself. He looked up at her and tilted his head. Using his mind he spoke to her. “did you see?”
