As the second born, Jackson knew he would never lead the clan. It was his place to receive the death of a challenger once his elder brother inherited the title of Alpha. But he didn't mind.

This story is based on real life. She spent years admiring him from a distance. Not because he asked her to, but because loving him quietly felt easier than risking another broken heart. After surviving a painful betrayal, she promised herself she'd never fall in love again. Yet somehow, he became the exception. He was kind, but distant. Close, yet impossible to reach. So she waited. Until one day, she simply... stopped. She stopped hoping, stopped waiting, and slowly learned to let him go. As her feelings faded, she found peace in the ordinary life she had once abandoned for someone who never looked her way. But just when she had finally moved on... He began to notice her. Now, the one who was once impossible to reach is the one chasing after the girl who no longer waits. But earning her heart won't be easy. Not after everything she's been through. Not after she finally learned how to choose herself.
