All Chapters of Bound with Shadows : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Marcus' POVWhy now? Why the sudden return? Why did she choose this time to return after years away from the pack doing who knows what? Those questions and more, kept running through my mind as I sat up, awake and alone on my balcony.The hour was late and everyone was fast asleep but for some reason I just couldn't sleep, my thoughts haunted by the return of Naomi. The moment I got close to her in the washroom, I had felt it, I had felt the bond we once shared, the mateship bond that was broken when… well, when it all turned upside down.Could it be that I had left a piece of me still in that body when we broke apart? I'm sure she must have felt it too, the faint busy still lingering shadow of a bond between the two of us. She definitely felt that, I was certain.My sharp ears, enhanced by years of training immediately picked up barefoots heading towards the balcony. The sound came before my heightened nostrils caught her scent. I sighed and took a long and satisfying drink from the

Naomi's POVI met his gaze with defiance and even tried to break free from his grasp. His lips curled into a smile, a smile that didn't touch his eyes or go anywhere near his eyes.What was he doing here?! What the hell was wrong with him? Was he stalking me now?! I wondered silently.“Let go!” I struggled to let myself free from his gasp.“What are you gonna do?” He asked in amusement. “You were gonna scratch my face with your paws, kitty cat?”“LET GO OF ME!” I shouted unintentionally.The lobby immediately went silent as every head turned with eyes towards our direction. This was what he wanted after all, attention. I'd give him attention if that's what he wanted!“Let go of her.” Another voice chirped in.Both our heads turned immediately to see Logan standing some feet away. For the first time since I met him that night at the party, he wasn't smiling. He wasn't frowning either but his face had that, I'm-not-messing-around look.“I was just having a friendly chat here with my mat

Naomi's POV“You'll go through no man's land?” The man, Garry asked in surprise.“That's exactly what I intend to do.” I replied.He stared at me for a while and then burst into laughter.“You got me good. For a second there I thought you were seri… Oh you're serious.” I stopped when he noticed I kept a straight place.I sighed and opened my car door, getting into it and slamming the door shut. “You shouldn't be driving through No man's land at night. You should know this already!” Garry complained. “Just look for a hotel or a motel and spend the night. I believe this will all be sorted by tomorrow.”“Just look at them, Garry.” I motioned in the direction of the border. “Does it seem like they're only getting ready to spend just a night here? They came fully prepared and that blockade is going to be there for a while if not permanently. I need to return to my family, I really need to.”Garry sighed in defeat. “Alright then. May the goddess go with you.” He said, stepping back from m

Logan's POVI sat up almost immediately, spilling my wine in the process.“What do you mean she's not home?!” I asked quickly. “She didn't leave the office early but she left before nightfall!”The voice on the other end sobbed before stifling that sob. It was Naomi's mother and even though she tried to keep calm, I could hear the desperation in her voice, the pain and the fear that her daughter might be missing or worse…I suddenly rose to my feet. This can't be happening now! No. I had to find her. Naomi won't go missing on my watch!“Hang on, Mrs Carter.” I tried to calm the woman. “I'm sure Naomi's fine. I'll look for her and wherever she is, I'll bring her home.”I ended the call after the woman had expressed her gratitude. Naomi hasn't come back home, the words kept ringing in my ears even as I rushed to get dressed.Once I had changed out of my pajamas, I placed a call to Naomi's phone even though her mother had just told me that her phone was off. I got the same results her mo

Logan's POVI held my breath when she walked out the door. I knew she didn't want this to look like a date so she had picked that jumper and jeans trousers to set me off but Naomi was one of those girls who would never be caught looking awful even if they were wearing a potato bag.Her long hair cascaded down to her shoulders and waved in the air as she approached the car where I stood. For a moment, it was as if I watched her in slow motion. For a second I became completely oblivious to my surroundings and reality and focused solely on her as she approached.“Stared to your satisfaction, have you?” Her voice broke the spell her beauty had cast me and I could only smile and open the car for her.“After you, ma'am.” I said with a smile spreading across my face.Naomi hesitated. I knew she wanted to make another snappy remark. I knew she wanted to say something but then she bit her lip and got into the passenger seat.I smiled as I closed the door. One thing I loved about the girl was
