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

Familiar green eyes flashed with some unnamed emotion, but it disappeared quickly before I could wonder what it was. I did know the affectionate smile he flashed at me wasn’t sincere. James had always seemed so guileless to me before. But he seemed different now somehow. He had the same classically handsome features. Refined. Regal. I used to like that about him. How I had always felt comfortable around him. But now, all I could think of when I looked at him was how fragile he would look next to Ethan. He wouldn’t last two seconds against my husband in a duel.
