The Alpha's Unraveling Treaty
I am Bree Vaughn, a rare white wolf of the Nicolo Pack.
Alpha Ryder is my fated mate.
However, during a truce negotiation with the Ironfang Pack, he signed a treaty to protect Lorelei, the Omega he'd rescued from the wilderness.
In the treaty, he offered me as a "tribute bride" to the Ironfang Pack's crippled Gamma, Maximus.
When I confronted him, he told me he would only revoke the treaty if I agreed to share the Luna title with Lorelei and willingly cede half of my bloodline territory to her.
All the love I had for him turned to ash.
I returned the Primordial Wolf's Fang he had given me—a symbol of our eternal bond.
But the fang, as if sensing his betrayal, seared his hand.
Ryder snatched his hand back, and it slipped through his fingers, shattering into dust on the floor.
On the eve of my bonding ceremony with Maximus, Lorelei accused me of stealing the Pack's Core of Dominion, accusing me of treason.
Even though Ryder eventually admitted he was the one who gave me the Core of Dominion, he still put me on the spot in public, asking:
"If I ask for it back, as your Alpha, will you give it to me?"
In that moment, the last ember of my love for him died.
