Liam's gaze remained unwavering as he continued, the truth finally pouring forth from his lips. “I've tried to deny it, but last night… being with you… I can't deny it any longer. You are my mate.”
The reality of his words hung heavy in the air, casting a tension between them.
“Liam, this is…this is complicated, but we can do it,” Mia finally managed to stammer out, her voice laced with uncertainty.
The weight of her words settled over Liam like a suffocating blanket, the gravity of the situation pressing down upon him. He knew what he had to do, even if it tore his heart in two.
“You are best friends with your daughter. And that's why I can't do this. As much as I want to explore every part of you, I can't hurt my daughter like that. I can't betray her trust.”
Mia's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her heartbreaking with every syllable that fell from Liam's lips. “So, what are you saying?”
A heavy silence hung between them, thick with the weight of Liam's impending decision. With a deep breath, he finally spoke the words that would seal their fate.
“I'm saying… I'm rejecting you as my mate.”
Mia's breath caught in her throat, the reality of Liam's rejection hitting her like a physical blow. Tears welled in her eyes as she struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what had just transpired.
“Liam, please don't do this,” she pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion.
But Liam's heart was heavy with the burden of his choice. “I'm sorry, Mia. But I can't let this go any further. It's better this way, for everyone involved.”
With a heavy heart, Mia turned to leave, the weight of Liam's rejection settling over her like a suffocating shroud.
