Age: 23

Role: Alpha heir of the Thorn Pack

Background: Born into the prestigious Thorn Pack, Ryder has been groomed since birth to take over as Alpha. Trained in combat, strategy, and leadership, he’s sharp, ruthless, and doesn’t suffer fools—especially the pesky little omega who’s always had the nerve to challenge him since they were pups.

Pack Role: He’s the pack’s future Alpha, expected to unite the tribes and expand their territory, but underneath the cold exterior lies a fiercely loyal and protective soul—especially for his mate, once he’s ready to admit it.
