Barely Breathing

Xyrus bowed his head low, something which surprised me. And as if knowing I was staring at him, he caught me. A strange emotion played in his eyes. Was it shame? Regrets? and perhaps more? He didn't even try to hide it.

"No one can stop him. Not even us. We had to shoot him with sedatives many times. And when it did not work anymore. We had to poison his wolf with silver just so his wolf will be weakened and Xyrus can come back in human form."

Xyrus shook his head and walked out. He went to the forest, but not before sending me a look once.
