Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 125: MY PEACE
NAOMI'S POVWhen mom and I had finished catching up for as much as we could, after I had told about my job and the transfer I decided to go to my room. I needed to rest, reboot this evening. Word would reach Marcus soon and he would be here. I took a shower and lay down on my bed looking out the window. That strange plant had since been removed and the garden looked even more colorful than before. I lay down, closing my eyes and dozing off. I didn't know how much time had passed when a knock woke me up. It wasn't mom because she would have walked in if I didn't answer immediately. I stood up, still groggy from my sleep and headed to the door. I opened it annoyed with whoever it was but the person stopped me from speaking. Marcus stood in front of my door, his eyes dark with longing and pain. “You-" I began but I couldn't finish it, not when he threw me into a hug. I couldn't help but melt into it, the feel of his strong body cushioning mine. The way his arms wrapped around m
Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 124: HOME
NAOMI'S POVI closed my eyes, dozing off to the call of the sleep that tugged at my eyelids. I drifted off to sleep, into the realms of the place that had now become familiar to me. Unlike before when I dreaded coming here, I welcomed it fully now. It had become my place for peace and where I could receive advice. The whiteness was almost blinding as I looked around. I felt a breeze blow past my face before a voice spoke. “You've come," she said. I didn't bother looking around for her, she had never shown her face, not since I had first seen her. “I need your advice," I said. There was a silence before she responded, "I gave you this advice before and I will again, you have to choose” Frustration gnawed at me, I already knew that. It wasn't as if I didn't. I had to choose but how? Both betrayals still hurt and I still felt love to a degree for each of them, I couldn't possibly choose. "But how? How do I know I'm making the right decision?” I asked. "Your heart will tell you
Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 123: A NEW BEGINNING
NAOMI'S POV Two weeks had passed since the battle, I had healed, I was out of the hospital now. Slowly, I regained my full strength back, with the guidance of the goddess and the white lady, I found a way to connect and finally I had received my third eye. So much had passed and yet the two men hadn't left my mind. Logan and Marcus. I hadn't chosen either of them and I planned on keeping it like that. They had tried to visit me over the weeks but I had rejected them. I didn't want to talk to them, I didn't want to change my decision, I knew they would definitely try to do that. My heart wasn't ready either. It had gone through too much, all the heartbreaks, from Marcus to Layla. I wanted to disappear to a place where no one knew me and I didn't know anyone. Where I could go to the store without the fear of seeing either of my exes. Finally I decided to make this wish come true. “Mom, I'm going to be traveling out of state” I said while we sat around for dinner. Theo and his w
Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 122: THE BETRAYAL
NAOMI'S POV I turn around to look at her, my best friend. The one I had shared all the parts of me. Loved beyond measures, given my deepest and darkest secrets, her claws embedded into my shoulder. “How?" I whispered, I couldn't take them out of me. I felt the weakness seep into me, slowly and steadily. Her face scrunched up and she pulled them out, she moved to make another slash but I dodged it, tripping over. I rose quickly to my knees, as quickly as I could anyway. “How could you?" I murmured again, the feeling of betrayal tearing me apart. I had done everything, I had been a good friend. I had loved her more than I had loved myself. I had been there in moments I couldn't be for myself. Still, here it was. The claw striking towards me. I stopped her hands with mine, holding tightly. My eyes had begun to turn, I was losing more blood than I could heal from and the weakness was tearing at my insides. “I didn't want to, there's no other choice” she finally spoke, her voice
Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 121: THE FINAL BATTLE II
NAOMI'S POVLogan led me through the tunnels down, the ones we had run through that day that seemed so many years ago now. We were back in it, for the same reason. “Where are we going?" I asked. “The forte" Logan said simply. He had been quiet since we had arrived here. Probably calculating and finding different ways to escape. The plan we had made was crazy, blowing this building up, destroying everything Marcus had built along with the legacy his father left for him. But there had been no choice. The tunnel suddenly narrowed further before we arrived at a small gate. Logan held the lock, “Fuck" I heard him mutter. “What happened?" I asked alarmed. We had come a long way, there was no way we could turn back for the key, too much time would be wasted. “I'm not with the fucking key" he murmured. He tried to break the key but nothing happened. I pulled him behind me, then held the key. I felt a power surge through me, almost surreal, divine even. The next thing I heard was th
Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 120: THE FINAL BATTLE
MARCUS' POV A day had gone by, I hadn't heard from Naomi in all that time. I had been eagerly waiting beside my phone, hoping for her call or a text. Anything that indicated she would forgive me. Still I couldn't forget the betrayal that had been in her eyes when I told her, the way she had looked at me as if she didn't know who I was. I wasn't so sure anymore, sure that she would eventually choose me. It didn't look so. “Alpha, she's here with her lawyers," Dax said as he walked into my office. Today had been arranged to be the day of the divorce, finally I would be free of her. I could guiltlessly pursue Naomi. I wouldn't be tied to her anymore. I strode to the room purposefully. The papers were already signed, I just had to sign the documents closing the deal finally. Morticia sat alongside her lawyers, she had brought two of them today. I spared her no glance, going directly to the documents and signing them. When I had finished I asked, “Are we done?" Just as I said tha
Bound with Shadows CHAPTER 18: Home Sweet Home
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 tri

Naomi's POVJust when I thought the scrawny rogue werewolf would jump out of the way, the wolf jumped onto the hood of the car. Its sharp and strong claws were firmly planted in the bonnet as it tried to claw at the windshield with one hand.“Real smooth.” I muttered as I put the car into more spee

Naomi's POV“What in the…” I muttered in shock as I stared out through the windshield of my car.It was then that I noticed some cars parked in front of mine. It was almost as if it was a traffic jam only that I knew traffic jams were impossible on this road. The road was always used but not many v
