A formidable woman may be born at any given moment,
Love can unexpectedly cross your path, when you least expect it.
Zara, a solitary woman, embodies strong determination as she makes choices solely for herself. Not because she lacks assistance in making decisions, but because she possesses no one on whom to rely.
Her presence often goes unnoticed, as she shies away from the scrutinizing eyes of others. In addition, she cherishes her tranquil life.
However, when Zara decides to escape the hectic city for a brief respite, fate intervenes when she comes across a man with a half-mask in the woods, fighting for his life.
This man's mere presence causes her defenses to crumble, leaving behind visible cracks that she cannot ignore, no matter how hard she tries.
Will she be able to return to her peaceful existence, or will her encounter with this stranger only bring chaos? One thing is certain, once Zara makes up her mind, there is no stopping her.

As I gazed at his face, a mixture of shock and realization overwhelmed me. How does he live with such a disfiguring wound covering half of his face?
My eyes were glued to his face, as everyone else in the room eagerly awaited my reaction. It was almost as if they were anticipating me to recoil in disgust and tell him to never come looking for me again.
But, to my surprise, I couldn't bring myself to do so.
I looked into her eyes, expecting a similar response that I usually received from the she-wolves in my pack. But instead, I saw no sign of insult or disgust, just a steady gaze that made me nervous.
"Zara, I..." I struggled with my words as she continued to stare at me, intensively.
What she said next caught me off guard and left me breathless.
