The place was hopping and the wolf in Erik was on full alert. Dressed in black leather pants, a black t-shirt and boots, he made a figure that most men would hesitate to cross while still being casual enough to fit in with the crowd. His long blond hair was caught in a leather tie at the base of his neck and the wicked looking torque he always wore around his neck seemed to glitter when the light hit it. Being Celtic in design, many a scholar would have been in heaven to examine the golden emblem as it was a mark of his station as an ancient warlord. In fact, it was so much a part of him that Erik couldnt remember a time in his life that he hadn't worn it and would have killed if anyone had tried to take it.
Being opening night, the handsome wolf had had some business to see to before he could indulge in his first love... Music. Tempermental with the stupid demands of people, Erik had frightened more than one more messenger with his growls. Lexi had caught the drift of his feelings and shooed him off with an affection shake of her head once it became clear that the mundane side of things was about to drive him insane.
His band, Sanctuary, had set up earlier in the day and last minute tune ups were performed before he ever made it to the stage. Once the doors had opened, Erik had joined the guys and loosened up with a drink of whiskey as he eyed the crowd and gave directions for the music they would be playing that evening. It was shortly after 9 in the evening when the band finally took the stage and Erik, himself, moved to the mic.
From his position on the high stage, he could oversee the party goers and he easily found Lexi at the bar along with a beautiful brunette woman he'd seen a few weeks back. A wicked grin settled over his face as he greeted the patrons and asked if they were ready to rock and roll. When a resounding "YES" rocked the house, the blond shapeshifter gave his band a signal and a heavy beat began to make the walls tremble around them. There was something so compelling about the music that it was almost..... magical when the first lyrics rang out. It was a song by one of his favorite bands, Nickelback.
As the final notes rang out, the band was greeted by wild applause and Erik grinned as he nodded to them. For the next half hour or so, they kept the club well entertained with various popular music and the wolf was on a fine high by the time he stepped down from the stage for a break.

"Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tightI've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit meOh, that shit makes me bat shit crazyWe've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight."
We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ticking like a time bomb, drinking till the night's gone
Well, get you hands off of this glass, last call my ass
Well, no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop
We got no friend, no doubt, all in balls out
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
We're going off tonight to kick out every light
Take anything that we want, drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight"
