Meanwhile back at the Moon Lake pack, the alpha is sitting behind his desk listening to the recoding while Patrick is sitting on the couch off to the side, with the beta (Keith) and his gamma on either side of him, they are also hearing everything that went on in the exchange between Shaun and Patrick, multiple emotions flickering over the alpha's face from time to time before he finally just turns it off, "You have brought shame to this pack with your actions, and not just what happened between you and that Vamp but that you tried to hide your wrong doings while in my presence, which further proved your guilt, the Vamp even had the balls to comment on my packs training and behaviour, and you know what, he isn't wrong, and that's what pisses me off the most, with your actions I can't claim that his assessment is false, you will be punished severely for this I can promise you that" growled the Alpha while clenching his fist on the desk over and over again, trying to keep himself calm.
"Tyler, about that Vamp, what does he look like so I can start my investigation, you gave me his name but not a description" said the beta while trying to calm down his alpha before he breaks something, the alpha looks up at the sound of his name, "About six feet, white hair with red highlights, grey and orange eyes, medium build, young, possibly a young adult/teenager, pale peach skin" Tyler rattles off Shaun's description as the beta pulls out a pen and notepad and starts to writes it all down, "Anything else?" the beta asked, "Uh...oh yeah, he smelt of earth and wood, like a forest almost, he might have a dwelling somewhere out there" with a nod the beta starts to leave but hears a call from behind him "And Keith...try to not be discovered in your investigation, and definitely dont engage in a fight with this Vamp, I guarantee you will lose, I'm not entirely sure I would win if I fought him" Keith looks back in surprise but just nods and leaves.
Keith the beta closes the door and the alpha, Tyler, turns back to Patrick with anger in his eyes, "You will receive ten lashes for almost ruining our deal with Elisha, every day for the next week, and spend the next month in the dungeons for causing such embarrassment to the pack, after that maybe you will have thought about your actions" Patrick is sweating at this point and falls onto his knees "Please alpha, I am sorry for what I did, I let my emotions get the better of me, please don't send me to the dungeons, anything but there" pleads Patrick, Tyler stands and walks around the table staring down at Patrick's pitiful state, "You will accept your punishment and once it is over we shall see if you truly regret your actions, Ben get him out of here", the Gamma (Ben) nods at his Alpha before grabbing Patrick and wrenching him from the floor.
After about five minutes of Patrick being dragged kicking and screaming Ben has taken him to the dungeon around the back, Tyler is wandering through the pack house and starts heading towards the front door, Keith opens the door intending to come back inside, "Ah Keith care to join me for a run, I need to clear my head" Keith just nods and turns around, decending the porch stairs, both walking towards the woods to the right of the pack house, they both strip and tie off their clothes to their ankles, they both shift into their wolf forms, Tyler being a large muscular brown wolf standing at about 5 feet in height, black tipped ears noteably perched on his head, and Keith into a blond wolf with a black patch of fur over his eyes standing at about 4 and a half feet, shaking themselves off they take off into the brush.
Darting through the trees, trading places from who was in the lead, Tyler and Keith race around the forest nipping at each other and horsing around when all of a sudden they hear a long, haunting howl off in the distance drifting on the wind which stops them dead in their tracks, Keith looks at Tyler and cocks his head while mind linking him, "What was that, I don't recognise that howl, is it a rogue looking for a pack, or is it someone new to the area?" looking for answers from his alpha, the alpha is just staring in the direction of the howl which is coming from town with his hackles raised, deep rooted concern written all over his canine features, "Trouble" is the only word the comes from Tyler before turning and sprinting back towards the pack house with Keith hot on his heels.
Back at the warehouse, "If I'm gonna trust you then I would like to know the name of the man I am trusting" Said the Lycan while gripping Shaun's arm with desperation and hope in his eyes, "Shaun Darkblood and you?" replied Shaun with a nod, the Lycan smiles "Marty Stinger, pleasure to meet you", removing Marty's grip on his arm and patting his shoulder before backing away from the cage, Shaun looks seriously at Marty, "Okay I'm gonna get this done, your gonna hear shit that is gonna make you immediately suspicious, and I'm gonna have to get a little physical with you, just act like you would if we haven't just made a deal okay, also, I have these cuffs that I'm gonna place on you, they look silver, but that's just the illusion that I got put on them to full anyone who suspected that I was not a Vamp, or if I was to find a fellow shifter I would want to free without issues, here touch them so you know I am not lying" with a nod from Marty Shaun produces a pair of gleaming cuffs from a pocket on the inside of his cloak and presented it to Marty, Marty slowly reached for the cuffs that looked identical to silver still having some doubts, tapping them quickly and retracting his hand expecting his hand to be stung by the silver, he looked at his hand for any damage, then with more confidence seeing that there was no damage, placed his full hand on the cuffs without flinching, when nothing happened Marty looked at Shaun with disbelief, Shaun just chuckles "You believe me now???" Marty just silently nodded his head while looking at his hand and then at Shaun.
Shaun then placed the cuffs away in his cloak "When I put these on, you have to act like you are in extreme pain, if you don't it's gonna look suspicious and might make them doubt that they are actual silver okay" Shaun said while looking straight into Marty's eyes to convey how important this is before turning around and then starts to ascend the stairs.
