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

Alex stood there, visibly rattled by Ethan’s presence but too proud to fully back down. Even with the gun pressed to his head, he straightened himself, trying to reclaim some shred of dignity. His eyes blazed with anger and wounded pride as he glared at Ethan.


“You think you’re untouchable because of your military career, don’t you?” Alex spat, his voice laced with contempt. “Because of the Alpha King’s favor? Don’t kid yourself. You’re just a brute who knows nothing beyond wielding a weapon. You don’t have the brains to carry your family’s legacy.”


Murmurs rippled through the crowd, a mix of discomfort and fascination as they watched the scene unfold. But Ethan didn’t flinch. His gaze remained cold, steady, as if Alex’s words couldn’t touch him. His hand didn’t waver, and in that moment, Ethan was terrifyingly calm. It was as if he had already decided Alex wasn’t worth a response.
