Chapter 230 The Right Thing To Do

• Naomi ran with her hand covering her mouth and tears blurring her vision. She had no idea where she was running to but one thing was for certain, she wanted to get away as fast as possible. Asher had chosen two other women over her on the very day he was supposed to be marking her as his mate. She knew it, she knew that it was too good to be true. How could a fine specimen of a man like Asher actually be interested in a plain jane like her? She found herself blaming his family, all of them that made her think that it was actually possible for her to catch his attention.
• She can’t believe that Justin was right, she really was not worthy to be in Asher’s eyes. He forgot all about her the moment two beautiful women showed up in front of him. She kept running, her eyes so blurred that even though the moon had appeared to be white again, she couldn’t make out where she was going until she bumped into a sturdy wall. The wall was cold and it seemed to have a pair of hands that grabbed her to steady her. It was then a scent like that of plant or woods drifted into her nostrils. She sniffled and wiped her tears, looking up to apologize because it was obvious that it was someone that she bumped into but her words caught in her throat when she saw who. “Y-y-your highness,” she hastily bowed, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there.” No matter what, she was still scared shitless by Edward’s presence alone.
• Edward glanced at the crying girl and then at the direction she was coming from and judging from how messy she looked, he could already guess what had happen. “Alright, I think it’s time we call everyone inside, don’t you think?” Aliyah’s voice came from behind him before she stepped out and was shocked to see Naomi. “Naomi, what are you doing here, why are you not with Asher?” she asked, reaching out to take the girl’s hands in hers.
