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

	I hadn't expected to hear that name so soon in this lifetime, and definitely not from Chloe’s lips. Like being blindsided by Chloe’s relationship with Alex, I was stumped by this new development.

“You two were close once, weren’t you?” Chloe’s question pulled my focus back to her.


“Well, he did very well for himself after he went overseas. Not only was he at the top of his class, but he made friends with some very rich and influential people. He’s made quite a name for himself. His art exhibition was a standout. That's where I met Alex.”


Chloe’s gaze turned calculating. “He seems to still be infatuated with you. He was asking about you a lot.”
