Alpha Begged Me Back After I Left

"My Alpha mate, Dominic, rules the entire Stormfang Pack, but in our ten years together, he has never once given me a gift.Even our bonding tokens—a pair of rare healing crystals that cost me an entire year's savings—were taken by him without hesitation.He claimed that as Alpha he needed to appear frugal and understated, which is why he marked me in secret without hosting a proper mating ceremony. Because of this, most pack members don't even know I'm his mate.Yet when Sylvia, his childhood sweetheart, returned to Stormfang territory, he publicly announced their mating plans. He even dipped into the pack's long-term savings to throw her an extravagant celebration.When my mother was attacked by rogue wolves and left critically wounded, I begged Dominic to return my healing crystals—the only things that could save her life.Instead of helping, he denied knowing me in front of the entire pack and ordered his guards to drive me away with burning torches. Later, my mother died during the Blood Moon Festival. I lost my only family during what should have been our most sacred celebration.I renounced my Stormfang membership that same night and accepted the Northern Shadow Pack's Chief Healer position.While packing my belongings, Dominic returned from his honeymoon with Sylvia. He found me and assumed I was merely sulking.For the first time ever, he made a generous offer: "Come on, what could possibly happen to your mother? At worst, I'll give you that fancy mating ceremony you've always wanted. That should satisfy her desire to be an Alpha's mother-in-law."What he didn't realize was that from the moment my mother died, I had already sworn to the Moon Goddess that our mate bond would be broken forever."
