When a ruthless corporate war stripped Isabella of everything she held dear, she was forced into a loveless contract marriage with the Alpha she despised most—all to save her father. The cold, unyielding bond became her prison, suffocating her as bitterness and resentment festered. Just when she thought her life would be an endless cycle of pain, her former lover, James, returned to rescue her.  

But salvation came at a deadly price. Betrayed and lured into a fiery death by the man she once loved, it was her despised husband who risked it all, diving into the flames to save her. In her final moments, the lines between truth and lies blurred. Was her savior the one she hated or the one she trusted?  

Before the fire consumed her, Isabella made a desperate plea to the Moon Goddess: Give me one more chance... let me rewrite my fate!

When she opened her eyes, the impossible had happened—time had turned back to one year before！

Contracted to the Alpha

The earth seemed to shift beneath my feet, and even though I was sitting, my head swam with the weight of the emotions that flooded me upon hearing Eva’s words. 


In truth, some unconscious part of me might have suspected what had happened even before Eva enlightened me. 


My breathing became labored, and a steady ringing in my ears caused the noise in my background to fade.


“Isabella?” Eva called, pulling my attention to her. “Are you alright?” Eva asked, her brows furrowed with worry. 


“I’m sorry,” the words slipped past my lips of their own accord. I wasn't sure what exactly I was apologizing for, but they were the only words I was capable of speaking just then. 


“Oh, honey. Why are you crying?” Eva crooned, reaching up to swipe at my cheeks. “None of this has anything to do with you. You don’t have to be sorry.”
