Emma moved to the forest to escape her past, not expecting anything more than silence and snow. But everything changed the day the gray wolf appeared. He didn’t attack—he watched. And one morning, he led her deep into the woods to a crashed helicopter.

Inside was a man—half-frozen, bleeding, barely alive.

Emma, a nurse, pulled every ounce of strength to save him. His name was Andrew, a military pilot running from a secret program called *White Wolf*, where animals were genetically modified for missions. That same wolf—Gray—was supposed to be controlled. But he wasn’t anymore.

He chose to protect Andrew. He chose to find Emma.

They reached an old ranger’s cabin just in time. As the fire crackled and the storm raged outside, Emma treated Andrew’s wounds. Two broken people, each running from something, suddenly found safety—not just in the cabin, but in each other.

And the wolf? He stood watch outside, like he’d always known they were meant to meet.
