All Chapters of Bound with Shadows : Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

Naomi's POVMy stomach tightened as Marcus's usual smell hit me. I hadn't seen him up close in... a long time. He walked up to our table with that annoyingly charming smile on his face.“Logan Naomi what a nice surprise.” he said slowly his eyes moving back and forth between us with clear curiosity. “It's great to see a strong couple together enjoying the results of their hard work.”My blood ran cold right away. Power couple? I laughed to myself. How dare he! He knew exactly what he was doing hurting me on purpose reminding me of what I'm not - what he decided I'm not good enough for. I felt a strong urge to fight back. I wouldn't let him see that he upset me. Not again.“Marcus.” I said my voice a bit too nice “it's great to see you. Yeah Logan and I thought we needed a real date. Work has been really busy lately.”I saw Marcus's jaw muscle move. Yes! Behind his fake smile he was really mad. I could almost feel it. I looked at Logan his face showed no emotion but I saw a quick flash

Logan's POVI let out a deep sigh. Alpha Brandon. Redwood Pack. Just saying his name made me feel sick. He was a pain but a important customer of Spectra Style House bringing in a lot of money. But working with him was like moving through thick mud.“What does he want Eli?” I asked trying to sound calm.Eli moved uncomfortably his normal calm attitude changed to a bit of nervousness. “He said it's very important Logan. He wants to talk to you at the office tomorrow first thing.”I rubbed my temples. “Urgent huh? What makes something urgent to Brandon? A new fancy dog collar design? Or maybe he wants his team to wear uniforms with diamonds on them.” I laughed sarcastically.Eli just shrugged “He wasn't specific. Just said he needed to see you as early as possible.”“Okay.” I said leaning back in my chair. “Alright no problem. Tell him I'll be at the office as soon as I can.” I stopped something coming to mind. “Did he say anything else? Anything about who might come with him?” I was th

Logan's POV“What was that Brandon?” I almost shouted once we were far enough away from her office walking down the hall to mine.Brandon acting like he didn't care brushed me off.“What? I was just looking at the nice buildings. Your design company is really improving Logan. I can see why you're so happy.”“Stop playing games with me.” I said sharply stopping in the hallway. A couple of my workers walked around us looking nervous. I spoke softer but still firmly. “You can't just walk into people's offices especially not here. And definitely not making them feel uneasy.”“Uncomfortable?” Brandon raised an eyebrow a smirk on his lips. “Or is it something else Logan?”What was he getting at? I could feel my face getting hot a clear sign I was getting angry.“What's that supposed to mean?” I asked loudly moving closer to him getting in his face.”He laughed and it annoyed me.“Come on Logan. You had to notice how you looked at her. That little gleam of interest in your eyes.” He stopped

Naomi's POV“Lunch?” I said suddenly the word floating between us. Had I really just asked my boss Alpha Logan to lunch? I was surprised I'd asked him of all people. He's my boss after all. My face turned bright red and I prepared for him to say no for things to get awkward.Alpha Logan's eyebrows went up a look of surprise crossing his face. I held my breath ready to take it back to say it was a lunch for work anything to fix the situation.“Lunch sounds... great.” he said a real smile spreading across his face. I felt a big relief wash over me all at once.“Really?” I had to ask showing how surprised I was.“Really.” he said his eyes shining. “I'm very hungry. And to be honest I need a rest from Brandon's idea anyway“.He grabbed his keys the sound a comforting familiar thing in the really weird moment.“Let's get out of here.”As we walked through the office I couldn't help but notice the sneaky looks and the smiles that some of the workers gave each other.I tried to ignore them t

Naomi's POV“Naomi are you sure about this?” Layla's voice was shaking loudly. I looked at her her hands were tight as she held the car door. “That car... it's still there right?”“Yes Layla it is.” I said my voice steady even though I was getting nervous inside. “I'm sick of being followed all the time. I'm going to figure out who they are and what they want.”I signaled pulling the Porsche Boxster over to a quiet and empty part of the road. The car behind us - a black sedan plain and creepy - slowed down and then stopped a short distance away.“Naomi no! What are you doing?” Layla almost yelled. “We should leave! Now! Please just leave!”I ignored her growing worry taking off my seatbelt.“What's wrong Layla? You're acting like you've seen something scary. I can take care of myself you know that. Even if things get a little heated.” I cracked my fingers trying to seem confident even though I wasn't feeling it.Layla grabbed my arm holding on really tight.“It's not you I'm worried a
