The next day, Dion woke up abruptly, feeling his heart beating out of his chest. He quickly looked around to make sure that there was no danger, only to find out he was alone in his bed as usual.
After a few moments his heart calmed down, going back to its regular rhythm. With how much Dion's body had improved, it was almost impossible for him to have a heart attack through natural reactions such as high cholesterol.
There was only one thing that could bring such a reaction, and that was fear.
Once he finally calmed down, he stared at his hands which were still shaking.
"What's got me so worked up?" Dion muttered, trying to understand his body's reaction.
When he had first heard about the invasion while Jayce was away, he would often wake up with this tremendous sense of fear and dread, eventually turning him into a nervous wreck.
Early chapter because I worked from home :)
Next one to drop at the usual time.
