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

	Shock pinged through me at Eva’s words.


A denial rose quickly to my lips, but it never escaped. While my feelings for my husbands were often confusing, I hadn’t spent too much time trying to unpack them.


“I don’t know,” I muttered weakly, unable to contain the bitterness in my voice. 


I’d certainly discovered a new side to Ethan that I never thought could exist. The fact that he risked his life in an attempt to save me from that fire was ever present in my mind. The little things he kept doing, like coming home to check on me and sending Eva to keep me company simply because she’d complained about being bored at home…those things certainly didn't help to clear my confusion. 


But the history between Ethan and me went far beyond this new man I was discovering in my husband.
