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 was locked in a deadly waltz with Sebastian Klein. I had no idea how I had ended up in this situation, but I needed to get out. The hall was lit by candlelight, gilded in shadows, and burnt reds. The chandeliers above our heads flickered erratically, in tune with the wild weaving of the instruments.


I tried to pull away, but my body wouldn’t move. Sebastian’s hand gripped mine tightly, and his other coiled around my waist like a voice.


“He’s going to hate you when he wakes up, you know,” he whispered teasingly.


“I told you not to touch me,” I said—or thought I said. My lips moved, but no sound came out. 


The more I resisted, the more forcefully the music dragged me forward.


Laughter echoed around us. I hadn’t noticed before, but as soon as the taunting cackles reached my ears, I saw them. The Banquet Hall was full. Dozens of faceless onlookers lined the edges of the dance floor, pointing toward me.
