MY FORBIDDEN MATE The first real fight
Liora pov “Why would you use Gerald to keep track of me?”I flared in anger.Three weeks of fragile stability collapse during a single conversation. I confront Darius after learning about his involvement in Gerald’s oversight structures. I directly ask him “Did you instruct Gerald to monitor my work or wellbeing in any way?”The question immediately shifts the tone between us.“You get the wrong idea Liora.”“What__?”Darius explains carefully that “I did not instruct surveillance.”He paused.“My intention, was only to ensure you had support if needed.”But the explanation does not land as intended.Liora reacts sharply. “To me, the distinction is irrelevant.”I hesitate.“The outcome remains the same: someone in my professional environment is reporting back about her life.”“This is not what you are thinking Liora.”“You are misunderstanding the whole piont.”“Misunderstanding what?”Silence.“You are now repeating a pattern I left behind Darius.”“Huhhh” Darius sounded con
MY FORBIDDEN MATE Selene Pushes Back
Selene didnt wait for the first crow before calling Darius.She calls Darius directly on Wednesday morning without warning and immediately sets the tone of the conversation. There is no warmth or small talk. “ I heard you’ve been communicating with Liora recently.”She didn’t wait for his response.She makes it clear.“I am not calling to support or approve your growing connection with Liora. ““Instead, I am issuing a warning.”Daruis became silent.She paused. “If you ever harm Liora again.”“Emotionally, psychologically, or through control.”“I promise to hunt you down.”Darius has been silent from the beginning of the conversation.“Listen carefully, I will not hesitate to use the full authority of the Blackwood name against you.”The statement is not emotional. “Mark my words Darius.”It is final.Darius accepts the warning without resistance. “You can have my word Selene.”He does not argue or attempt to justify himself. “I will not hurt Liora for any reason Again.”“Go
MY FORBIDDEN MATE The Text
Liora POV I was half asleep and half awoken. My phone beeped with notification.I checked it’s from Darius.I sat up immediately.I felt a spark inside of me.I quickly open the message.“Hope you slept good?.”The question is simple, but it carries weight given everything we shared the previous day. I hesitatedI did not respond immediately. I kept staring at my phone.When I finally reply.I decide to let my answer be honest rather than guarded. “I slept better than I have in a long time, though not perfectly. “I hesitated.Then send it.After deliberate thought. I decide to ask him the same question. “Hope you slept good.”Immediately my phone beeps.A text from Darius.Darius admits.“I also slept better than usual”Then a notification comes in.“A rare occurrence for someone who has been struggling with persistent insomnia. My night was good.”I heaved a sigh of relief. I immediately connects this improvement.“Well this is thanks to Dr. Lucian,your therapist. He i
MY FORBIDDEN MATE Five minutes
Liora POV “What is he doing close to my house.” I bit my lips.“What does he want.” “I thought we agreed about this.”I muttered to myself.I approaches Darius’s parked car slowly.I stood for some minutes.Then I gathered courage.I hesitated.I watched Daruis.His expression.He senses my presence.Even before he fully sees me.I immediately looked at the mate bond and watch it flicker.I decided to stop outside the passenger window.I deliberately choose that position.So that the power dynamic of the conversation remains balanced.When he rolls the window down, the distance between us feels both small and significant.I am not avoiding him, but I am also not entering his space without intention. I immediately remind him of what he said earlier.I didn’t wait for him to say hello first.“ I thought we agreed if you wanted to ask, you would need to do it properly?”His expression tightened.He stares at me.Silent.I did not allow the conversation to drift into polite avoidance o
MY FORBIDDEN MATE The session
Darius sees Liora's message almost immediately.His first instinct is to respond.Months ago he would have acted without hesitation, driven by emotion and urgency. He would have typed whatever came to mind and hoped that passion alone would somehow fix everything.This time he stops himself.The conversation on the pavement taught him something important.Wanting contact does not automatically mean he is entitled to it.Instead of sending a reply, he puts the phone away and focuses on the commitment he already made to himself.Therapy.Later that day he sits across from Dr. Lucien and recounts everything that happened during the encounter.He describes the overwhelming force of the mate bond, the struggle to remain where he was instead of closing the distance, and the difficulty of watching Liora walk away.He admits that every instinct inside him had urged him to follow her.Admitting these things feels uncomfortable, but necessary.For perhaps the first time, he speaks honestly abou
