All Chapters of Unforeseen Entanglement : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Chapter 1 I stared at the acceptance letter in my hands for the millionth time, still not quite believing it was real. Knight Industries – the Knight Industries – wanted me. The same company that practically ran the East Coast's business world thought I was worthy of their corporate team.“Sophie Turner, Strategic Operations Manager,” I whispered, testing how it sounded. Way better than “Sophie Turner, the Beta who's not Beta enough.”My wolf preened at the accomplishment, even as she paced restlessly beneath my skin. We'd achieved this on our own merit – no pack connections, no mate's influence, just pure skill and determination. Take that, everyone who said female warriors should focus on “more suitable pursuits.”I adjusted my blazer in the full-length mirror, smoothing down the crisp navy fabric. The suit had cost a month's savings, but looking the part of a corporate executive mattered. At least that's what the career blogs all said.“You've got this,” I told my reflection, try

Chapter 3I found myself at a bar, “The Thirsty Wolf.”The neon sign flickered overhead like some cosmic joke. Real wolves drowning their sorrows at a bar with a wolf in its name – the Moon Goddess must be laughing her ass off right now.I checked my reflection in the darkened window. Mascara smeared under my eyes, hair wild from running. At least I still had my fancy blazer on, even if it was wrinkled.

The “who broke your heart, honey?” look. If he only knew.My enhanced senses picked out at least three other wo

Chapter 5My eyes fluttered open to unfamiliar sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows. For a moment, I just stared at the city skyline, trying to piece together where I was. The sheets against my skin felt like clouds – definitely not my IKEA bargain set.My wolf stretched contentedly, purring with satisfaction. That's when everything hit me like a truck.The bar. The Aston Martin. Christian. The “night”.“Oh god.” I sat up so fast the room spun, clutching the obscenely expensive sheets to my chest. “Oh god, oh god, oh god.”My wolf rolled her eyes. “Mate,” she insisted.“Shut up! He's not our mate. We just… oh god.” I scrambled for my phone, nearly falling out of the California king bed in the process. Where were my clothes? There – a trail leading to the door, like some walk of shame on a breadcrumb trail.Fifteen missed calls from Maria. Twenty-eight text messages. “Sophie, where are you??”“Tom and Lily are at your apartment”“They're going through your stuff”“CALL
