Chapter 78

He’s older than Colton for sure, a little graying of his hair at the temples, and he has one utterly white eyeball that suggests he’s partially blind. The other is so dark brown in comparison that you can’t help but react when you see it. A raggedy awful-looking scar running from cheek to forehead and passing right through, so deep you can tell he was wounded pretty severely whenever this happened, and it’s the first thing you see. I try not to stare, but it is so scarce to see a wolf with any kind of scars. We selfheal, miraculously, and instantly most of the time, and only one type of wound will ever leave a mark like that on a healthy wolf. Silver dipped in wolfsbane. I heard they used it against our kind in the wars with some success, although it killed most. If it doesn’t kill you, it leaves you forever marked as he is by creating an infection inside you and poisoning the site around it. It eats into your body and flesh and makes you so very sick that healing won’t cure the mess.
