Alpha Arlo Bianchi - POV
Isabella desperately tried to keep her tears at bay, but I saw her eyes glisten with tears. I know this is hurting her, but I don't want her to grow feelings toward me. I know that I would never put her in harm's way, but I don't think I can fall in love with her.
I know what love does to a person, and I have already lost enough people in life, and I don't want to add more. I know the Elders would be pestering me about mating with Isabella, and if that is the last thing I do, I would do that if that would get me to kill those bastards.
"I don't want the fucking title, Arlo. And I never came here to get that title either," she yelled as she got up from the table. I can see a fire in her eyes. She was livid right now, but I don't think I can do anything about that. "All I want is a mate, alpha or not."
