Mated to Four의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

PhoebeI raised a brow at him, questioning his sudden interruption. He leaned casually on the edge of the table, his tone confident as he mentioned the strategy meeting for the tournament. The moment he said it, I seized the opportunity, snapping my notebook shut and apologizing to Tyra for cutting our session short. Though reluctant, she nodded in understanding before I hurriedly gathered my things and followed Finley out.Once we were out of earshot, I glanced at him. “You didn’t really need me for this, did you?”Finley smirked but didn’t look at me, his hands shoved casually in his pockets. “Maybe I did. Or maybe I just saved you from a painfully awkward tutoring session.”I narrowed my eyes. “Why do I feel like you enjoyed that so much?”“Because I did.” His grin widened as he glanced sideways at me, his hazel eyes practically glowing with mischief.“Great. So now I owe you?”“You could say that.” He stopped suddenly, forcing me to turn to face him. “But don’t worry, I’m not unre

PhoebeI took a deep breath before opening the classroom door, trying to steady my heartbeat that felt like a war drum. After last night’s awkward conversation, it felt like the entire world was conspiring against my sanity. I had to pretend nothing had happened. Showing weakness was not an option.The classroom was already packed when I walked in. The chatter and laughter filled the air, as if no one cared that I was carrying a secret as heavy as a mountain. I spotted Tyra sitting at the same desk as yesterday, her small smile looking more like a trap. Avoiding her gaze, I hurried to my own seat.But before I could sit down, Tyra was already beside me.“Hey, Phoebe,” she greeted cheerfully, and I let out the breath I had been holding.“Hi,” I replied curtly, forcing a tight smile and pretending to focus on the notebook in front of me.That day felt like an endless test of patience. Wherever I went, Tyra followed. She was like a shadow I couldn’t shake. When I went to the cafeteria, s

Phoebe“To ignore the way they look at you? The way Adonis—”I thought something was off here. I needed to explain Adonis’s behavior—how he acted when he was just being himself—to Hayden. As much as possible, I had to remain neutral for the sake of the team. Hayden’s attitude earlier had been rather arrogant, even for someone in his role as team captain.At the same time, I had to maintain my identity in front of Adonis and Finley. They were the only two who still didn’t know the truth about who I really was. Hayden’s tendency to be possessive was beginning to make me uncomfortable.I took a deep breath. Was this one of the challenges that came with being in a relationship? If it was, then I needed to approach it rationally—especially with Hayden. He held the authority to influence my actions, and I was the only one capable of calming him down.“Stop it,” I interrupted, my voice sharper than I intended. “This is ridiculous. That moment had passed and it was truly him. They’re my frien

FinleyThe moment I saw Phoebe running out of the dorm, tears streaming down her face, my gaze instinctively shifted to the rooftop. There he was—Adonis, watching her with that inscrutable expression. It made me wonder if something had happened between them.I immediately headed to the roof, where Adonis and Zion stood in silence.“What happened to Phoenix?” I asked, breaking the tension.“I showed her the truth,” Adonis replied casually.I knew it wasn’t the real Adonis speaking—it was the other side of him. That cold, detached expression of his made me want to punch him, especially since he answered me so nonchalantly. Grabbing the collar of his uniform, I growled at him.“You made her cry, Adonis! Damn it, why are you always such a jerk? She’s…”“A girl. Not just you and me—we all know she’s not Phoenix,” Adonis cut me off.My hands fell to my sides. So, it wasn’t just me and Adonis who had figured it out. My gaze shifted to Zion, who merely shrugged, as indifferent as ever.I left

HaydenI sat on the chair, my hands gripping my head, which felt like it might explode. Adonis' words echoed relentlessly in my mind. How could he say something like that so casually? Destiny? Moon Goddess? I couldn’t accept any of it. Sharing Phoebe? Especially with someone like him? Never.[You know, Hayden, we can’t fight the Moon Goddess’ destiny,] Noel’s voice broke into my thoughts, his tone serious. “She’s chosen Phoebe for us, and Adonis—”“Don’t say his name,” I snapped, gripping my hair in frustration. “I don’t care what the Moon Goddess decided. I’ll never let him have Phoebe.”Noel sighed, the kind of sigh you give a stubborn child. [You know it’s not that simple. Your feelings can’t erase fate. If you keep fighting this, you’ll only hurt Phoebe.]I didn’t reply. Instead, I stared at the hourglass on the desk, willing my mind to focus on something else. But deep down, I knew Noel was right. A tiny part of me even wondered if I’d made a huge mistake confronting Adonis earl
