The last wish wasn't about love, it was about saving her life. The only way Geralt could prevent the Djinn killing Yennefer was to tie her life to his own (since the Djinn couldn't kill it's master) therefore he wished for their fates to be linked.

The bit about intertwined fates is key as at the Rivian pogrom, Geralt is mortally wounded and presumably dies and Yennefer, without any real cause, dies as well. This is likely the result of the last wish and their shared fate. When one dies, they both die (at least this is how I perceive those events).

The affection they displayed for each other, which only got stronger and stronger through the books despite their issues, became true love.
