All Chapters of Mated to Four: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Phoebe.“Remember—deep breath, no tension! Alpha and all the high-ranking wolves are here to watch your first shift.”Mom’s warm hands combed gently through my shoulder-length brown hair. Just hearing her voice calmed me down a little, even though my stomach still felt like it was full of jumping beans. My eyes kept darting toward the stands where Dad sat, right next to the Alpha of our pack.If it weren’t for this annual event, I’d probably be in my room right now, blasting music or bingeing some cheesy teen drama. But being a she-wolf in the Mystic Guardian Pack came with certain… obligations. Like proving I was finally old enough to be taken seriously—by shifting for the very first time.Honestly? The whole thing felt like a freakin’talent show. And up until today, I’d been lucky I couldn’t shift yet. If Dad ever found out I thought like that, he’d go full-on lecture mode about honour and respect.The mind-link thing? Yeah, that’s the wolf ability that creeps me out the most. Thank

Phoebe. When dad informed me about Phoenix's condition, I was taking a remedial exam. I immediately left the classroom and didn't care about my calculus exam. My brain spun fast and brought up images of our last quarrel. My heart sank and I really couldn't think straight. I arrived at the hospital an hour later because the traffic to the hospital was badly jammed. I broke out in a cold sweat as I stood on the bus and cursed myself. I should have turned into a wolf and run as fast as I could to get to the hospital. I wish I had done it earlier. I didn't and was relieved after the bus stopped at the hospital stop where Phoenix was being treated. I pushed out the queue at the bus exit and ran without looking around anymore. Arriving at the hospital lobby, I approached the nurse's desk and asked for directions to the intensive care unit. “You can go straight and turn left, the first room.” “Thank you,” I said quickly to the two nurses behind the desk. I followed their directions and

Phoebe."Move! Are you crazy?"Zion didn’t touch me. His hands were braced against the wall, trapping me, so I couldn’t move. I thought Zion had lost it when he kissed me, unaware that I was disguised as a man.Zion took a step back, creating some distance between us. He grinned, his gaze still locked on mine, intense and unyielding. Slowly, I edged to the side, trying to slip away.Finally free, I walked aimlessly, my throat tight with the curses I wanted to hurl at Zion but couldn’t. My fists clenched in frustration as I tried to calm my anger towards him.I needed fresh air; I could barely breathe just moments ago. Facing two strange men left me craving a mental break."Hey, Phoenix."I turned instinctively at the sound of my name, seeing Finley approaching with a warm smile, a stark contrast to how he had been earlier."I congratulated you in the group chat, but you didn’t respond. Did you not see it?" Finley started the conversation."Sorry, I changed my number. Could you add me

ZionSeeing Phoenix Mathews in a female version—or whoever this girl pretending to be him is—really piqued my interest. Her bright pink lips practically begged to be kissed, tempting me every time I looked at them. Lucky for me, we're in the same dorm; now I can see her whenever I want. She’s different. Ever since we bumped into each other at the hospital, she's been like a magnet pulling me in. Her scent—hazelnut chocolate—made my mind waver. My wolf side craved her more than any other girl in this school. Now, here she was, sitting across from me, shifting awkwardly and glancing at everyone one by one. She seemed intimidated by Hayden, but I thought she's strong enough to stand up to him—just like she did last night. It’s one of the things about her that stirred something deep inside me. “Get it yourself. You still have hands,” Hayden said, his voice flat, directing the command at the fake Phoenix, who remained seated quietly. I played the role of the spectator between them. Ha

PhoebeIt felt as if an invisible remote had paused time. Only Hayden and I could move, staring at each other with bated breath. I can hardly breathe; something about him is so unsettling that it leaves me speechless.His demeanor had completely shifted in just a few hours. It feels like we’re old friends having a casual conversation, not two people who were at each other's throats not long ago. My mind struggles to stay sharp, yet my heart betrays me by letting him get so close.I try to keep myself grounded. My heart flutters, drawn to him, yet my mind demands restraint. I need to stay focused—for Phoenix and myself. I have a mission here, and I can’t afford distractions. But Hayden’s unexpected gentleness, the intensity in his gaze, and the unfamiliar warmth in his presence—it all stirs something deep within me, something I’m not prepared to face.His fingers brushed against my cheek, lingering. It sent a shiver down my spine, and I could barely bring myself to look up at him.“Wha
