Chapter 76 - The Lines Of Destiny

• I wake with a start, my breath coming in short gasps, my heart pounding violently in my chest. Darkness surrounds me, but I can feel Damon's warmth against me, his arm firmly wrapped around my waist. His breathing is slow, even, but his grip is possessive, as if he fears losing me even in his sleep.
• My body is sweating. That dream... no, it wasn't a dream. Kieran's voice is still echoing in my head.
