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

By the time Ethan returned, I’d already finished my third glass of champagne, and a soothing warmth had taken root in my belly. I shifted awkwardly so the empty glasses on the table weren’t in clear view. 


Whether Ethan had noticed them or not was hard to tell by his inscrutable expression as he stopped directly in front of me. His gaze moved over my face, and I bit my lips nervously. 


Had he seen them? Was he going to be upset I had drunk so much?


“Let’s go home,” Ethan said simply and held out his hand for me to take.


The drive home was in silence, and by the time we arrived back at the house, that third glass of champagne had settled in nicely. So much so that I stumbled several times as Ethan led me into the foyer. Thankfully, he didn’t comment about my less-than-graceful stride.
