untameability

Cannot be broken

Untameability is the quality of being impossible to tame or domesticate.

It describes wildness that resists all efforts at control: the untameability of the wolf, the untameability of her spirit.

The word applies to animals, people, landscapes, or abstract forces that refuse to submit to human will.
