After receiving Bella and Edward's wedding invitation, Jacob sat quietly, a heavy weight settling over him. The neatly printed card felt like a final confirmation of what he had long suspected deep down-Bella would never choose him over Edward. Every stolen moment they'd shared, every secret kiss beneath the moonlight, suddenly felt bittersweet, like fragile memories of something that could never truly be his.
He thought back to all the times he'd hoped, all the times he'd imagined a future where Bella's heart might finally belong to him alone. But the truth was unavoidable: no matter how much he cared, no matter how fiercely he loved her, he was always second in her eyes. Edward's presence was like an unshakable shadow, one that no matter how brightly Jacob tried to shine, he could never fully outshine.
Feeling lost and defeated, Jacob wandered through the forest that night, seeking solace beneath the ancient trees. It was there, unexpectedly, that he met Selene Ivy Mikaelson. From the moment their paths crossed, something different stirred within him-a calm certainty, a quiet strength he hadn't known he needed. Selene wasn't someone to compete with, nor did she expect him to fight for her affection against another. Instead, she offered him acceptance and a connection rooted in understanding.
With Selene, Jacob realized he didn't have to chase after love or prove his worth through struggle. He discovered a kind of partnership that thrived not on rivalry, but on mutual respect and shared strength. For the first time in a long time, he felt truly seen-not as a second choice, but as someone worthy in his own right.
In Selene's presence, Jacob found clarity. He no longer needed to measure himself against Edward or the past with Bella. What he really needed was someone who accepted him fully, without conditions or competition. And in that quiet realization, a new chapter began-one where Jacob could finally be himself, loved and whole.
