No sounds came from Markus now, growls, howls nothing. He just stood there ready to leap upon the loner if necessary and toss him about like a ragdoll… He would let Sam handle this, she was the Geri after all. He didn’t need to take charge of every situation that arose. Slowly he moved behind Sam and shoved his muzzle underneath the body of one of the wolves so that it slid onto his back and very slowly and gently stood up so they were balanced and wouldn’t slide off. His next action then brought him to the second would which he clamped his mouth around the scruff of this ones neck and turned towards the cabin giving a jerk of his head and mentally asked Sam to talk and walk with the loner… He’d handle the bodies.
Slowly, so slowly Markus walked over to the bodies sniffing their lifeless forms sadness blooming in his heart at the loss of his pack kin.. HIS Pack kin the ones who looked to him as their leader. He guided them it was his job to make sure they survived, and he had just failed. He took a deep breath and buried that emotion deep inside, he couldn’t wallow in grief of failure, he had to keep strong and find out who had committed this atrocious act in his woods no less. He leans down biting onto the necks of one of the wolves and begins dragging, though he only gets several feet before stopping. A smell hits his nostrils and he turns his head. “Why.. Of all days are we getting so many strays wandering into our lands?” He looks to Sam and shakes some snow out of his fur. “We have a hunter back at the cabin, he’s unarmed. When we get back we will restrain him, and you can question him. For now we need to deal with this stray and these bodies.”

He shakes his head a bit and gives a howl to alert the stray of where they were. Whether the stray was coming in peace or in violence Markus didn’t really care he just wanted this out of the way so he could take care of the important business that revolved around the whole pack. “Sam… Get fuzzy.” he said with a chuckle. He had always enjoyed Sam’s company ever since she had made her way to Geri. He felt like he could trust her which was rare in the pack except for his enforcers and Lupa. He knew that he couldn’t let Paranoia get to bad but he couldn’t get rid of it entirely that would make him to open to attacks from those who could possibly want his position.
@Guess Who I don't see any CSes posted by you.
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?”
Slowly Markus looks up at Aldo his brows flat as he stared at him. “No… Thanks.” He reaches up and takes the beer downing about half of it before setting it down. “I don’t see the rush. You are welcomed here. I said as much. You are allowed to stay up to seven days, and if at the end of those seven days or be you want to leave you are welcome to. If at the end of those seven days you wish to stay well then… We will test you.” He looks behind himself as he feels Val behind the door and lets out a heavy sigh the anger and irritation leaving him. “You can come in.” He takes another gulp of his beer and sets it down. Leaning back in his chair his fingers gently tap the top of the table as he starts to relax more and more. Reaching into his pocket he pulls out a cellphone and taps his finger across the screen sending a text message to Sasha. ‘Sorry come on back, I was being irrational.’

Suddenly the howl hit him and he jerked upright in his chair. A wild worried expression grew across his face as he stood up from the chair so hard it went flying across the room. “Sam.” He turned to Valarie “You heard that didn’t you? That cry… I don’t know what is wrong, but that was Sam.” He takes in a deep breath and turns towards the door and looks about seeing that he didn’t have any of his enforcers around to go with him, but he couldn’t just leave one of his pack alone in the cold with that howl that had popped out of their muzzle. “I have to go Val, there aren’t any enforcers to go with me, you have to stay here. The danger is too high. I have to go alone.”

A frown began to grow across Markus face as the request to stay the night. He turned around for a moment in thought looking at each pack member that was around him. With a grunt he turns back to William and points a finger at him. “It is late, and I wouldn’t want you dying in the snow to be blamed on us.” He runs a hand through his hair. “You stay here for the night, but you will relinquish all arms, and you will have a shadow.” He stares at Marrec and waves a hand “you make sure he isn’t armed. Strip search him. In the snow. i don’t care if he likes it or not. Those are my rules.” He looks down at Valarie “I wish to speak to this hunter more before he leaves. I do not mean to leave you thinking I doubt your ideas.” He sniffs loudly and shakes his hed. “Though Val you and I will have a talk later about disobeying me, but for now come with me inside we have another guest to greet.” He looks to Sasha and his face wrinkles up in anger.

“YOU THOUGH! Were told to stay with her keep her safe, not let her come out here to me when I am face to face with such a man. You will meet me at the cliff in half a hour… Bring the cane.” the cane being a 4 foot piece of wood about as thick as a pool stick. Markus walked into the house slamming the door behind him aggravated at the sudden occurences of a strange werewolf, and a hunter on his very doorstep staying the night no less. “Damnit.” He walks into the kitchen where Aldo, and Vashti were. He sits down on a stool and hollars through the door. “Acacia! Carona, now! Two limes!” He says without any room for backtalk. “So Vashti, you didn’t answer me before, and in my current mood I will not stand for silence. What pack are you from and why are you here?”

A deep inhalation of breath was all that came from Markus at the name ‘night spawn’. Slowly he calmed himself though as the muscles along his shoulders tense as if he was preparing to attack the man. “So you wandered in here by accident then? Confusing as to how a professional murderer such as yourself could be so ignorant of his surroundings.” Markus’ hands slid into his pockets as to show he wasn’t trying to be aggressive as he stepped closer to where he was about five feet from William. His stance said he was ready, but his demeanor said he didn’t mean to inflict any harm.

“I suggest you take your hands off those guns. You wouldn’t get a chance to draw them before you turned my snow red.” Markus didn’t speak like he was making idle threats, he spoke as if that’s what would actually go down, as if no other scenario could possibly play out in this instance. “Perhaps you’d like a escort out of the woods. I could arrange it.” he raised up a hand signaling Marrec over, then turned back to William. “Would you like that? Or do you think you could find your own way?”
A wind blew heavily for a moment across the clearing and Markus hair went along with it the ends of each lock dancing in the breeze. He raised his head at the acknowledgement and after a short moment of silence that seemed to last forever he spoke. “I see you there. What has brought you to such a sacred land of ancestors and spirits? Do you see me with open eyes, son of man?” His legs started moving as he walked through the snow though it slowed his steps a tad the cold seemed to bother him none as he gave little attention to the kin around him. He moved to within about thirty meters before stopping again and spread his arms out wide.

“There are nothing, but secrets here to be beholden only by those of worthy blood. Do you seek to find answers? Have you come for a blessing or curse?” Only three different kind of people could possibly know these words, werewolves, human mates, or hunters. He knew by the shield on this man’s back that he was surely no ones mate, and he did not smell like a wolf or the child of one. “If it is no to these questions then surely why do you invade such grounds with your tainted feet?”
@Obscene Symphony why not join and give it some more life friend
He had not expected the demeanor the wolf before him to be so submissive, but so she was. He would accept that. He lowered the pistol and his angry demeanor left as he uncocked the pistol and and slid it into the back of his pants. Within two steps he crouches down in front of the wolf and stares down at her. “Well Vashti, as you seem to not have a pack or a reason for being here… I suppose it would only be polite to invite you in out of the snow for now. Perhaps meet some more of your kind.” He stands up and points at Acacia and waggles a finger for her to come closer. “Would you mind showing our friend around the house.. Introduce her to folks… Make sure everyone knows she is not of our pack but is a guest for now… Share some clothes with her let her bathe if she wants give her some food. You know the deal.”

Markus frowned a bit and his nose wrinkled. He gave no indication to call for other wolves as he stepped off to the side and took in a deep sniff his nostrils flaring as he did. He turned his head his nose giving him almost pin point accuracy in the cold weather where it was easier to catch scents on the wind. His eyes narrowed a bit as he seemed to be looking right at William his composure like that of a wolf defending it’s territory ready to attack, his muscles taut his hands curling into fists for a moment, but he didn’t charge out didn’t leave. If anything it would be more ‘if you’re man enough come and get some, if not screw off.’ intimidation technique he had picked up from a life of crime before becoming a were.
