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 didn’t remember heading back to the office, but I somehow made it in one piece. 


“...ask your husband how he really got that scar on his chest. See if he’ll tell you the truth this time. That it was a gift from his dear old father-in-law…”

 I startled in surprise as someone shook my shoulder. I glanced up at Cade, who was standing over me with a concerned look. “Are you okay? I’ve been calling out to you forever. You seem a bit out of it today.”


I opened my mouth to tell him I was fine, but couldn’t manage even that small lie. 


I couldn’t stay here another minute. My mind couldn’t settle enough to do work today, anyway.
