Chapter 73

• Inside the wood, in the hour of midnight, and while everywhere is too calm, the king's guard has scattered differently around the wood, deep into the forest, just as the king had told them, and they go in search of Damon as instructed by the king.
• Angry and frustrated that their search bore no fruit, they called to tell the king that Damon hadn't come to the wood today; perhaps he knew about their coming and had decided to escape from the pack to avoid their attacks,but immediately they heard a sound, and they quickly ended the call.
• They all turned to look at the huge, but uninhibited, figure standing in front of them in the dark.
