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

With his words still ringing loudly in my ears, Ethan quietly walked away. Chloe giggled softly and sent me a smug look before stalking after him. I didn’t even have the energy to mind her antics as I focused on my husband’s retreating form, a dull ache taking up residence in my chest. His blurry figure turned a corner and disappeared, and the tears I’d been holding back at his coldness began to fall. 


I supposed a part of me had always taken Ethan’s one-sided efforts for granted. No matter how badly I’d messed up, or how angry I made him, he never froze me out. Sure, he was fond of disappearing for days on end after a fight, but when he came back, it was as if nothing had ever happened. Now, for the first time, I was left wondering. What would happen if Ethan truly gave up on me?


Footsteps echoed along the empty hallway. I spun to see York approaching hastily.
