"You can stay stubborn and ruin your chance for happiness or listen.", Yasmin said, and Cornelia recoiled in the chair like someone pushed her back physically.
Actually, Cornelia felt the push, but Yasmin didn't use any chant. How was that possible? Did she use an enchanted item? But her hands were empty.
Cornelia shifted in her seat, to confirm that she can move without restrictions.
"Can you talk normally?", Cornelia asked while eyeing Yasmin suspiciously and wondering if she imagined the push.
"What is normal talk, Cornelia? Do you want me to lie or keep quiet while you destroy your best chance for happiness?"
Cornelia was offended. "What am I destroying?"
"I see you are holding your mate close, without giving yourself to him. What kind of a sick game is that? Do you enjoy torturing him?"
Cornelia huffed at Yasmin. Who gave Yasmin the right to meddle? "What do you know about torture? He is too young to feel the bond."
