Well, I think it’s because at this point in this story she is not in love with him.
Uhh I think it's because she's indecisive and scared that she'll disappear. And because of that, fian's mom also doesn't want her to be around. Also it seems to me, but I'm not totally sure, the bond can be made without her consent as long as he knows her name (example of Philip).
You mean imprint? I think imprinting doesn't need her name nor consent, it's just like a dog peeing on a tree to mark it's territory or something alike. And yeah like his mother, our mc knows the possibility of her dying or not being able to come back in that world so she's afraid.

Why is Lyla deciding who Fian can love or not? She already is very smart and knowledgeable about a lot of things. Does she think he doesn't know the consequences of him loving her and making the bond(or w/e it was called)?
And she even knows he might die later on. So, Wouldn't be better for her to stay by his side? （￣へ￣）
