Mated to Four のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Phoebe“What’s going on, Tyra?”Strangely, the room fell silent. I glanced at Finley, who only shrugged. Zion cleared his throat, but it was Adonis whose expression had changed. His face hardened, tension visible in every line.I turned toward the door. The handle moved, and when it opened, it wasn’t Tyra standing there—it was Hayden… wearing a full-on Anakin Skywalker costume from his Jedi days in Star Wars. Zion burst into laughter as Hayden stepped into the room.Okay, I had to agree with Zion on this one. Hayden looked ridiculous in that Jedi outfit. He walked stiffly toward me, completely ignoring Zion’s howling laughter. He only reacted to Adonis’ long exhale.“I was invited by Phoebe, so quit looking at me like I’m a weirdo.”“It’s not you, man. It’s the way you walk and how stiff you look. That’s what’s got us trippin’,” Zion replied.“There weren’t any other futuristic costumes left. Everything’s rented out already. Like the entire youth population of this city decided to cra

PhoenixHow long was I supposed to wander around like this?In this state, I had no idea how much time had passed. The clock on the wall in my hospital room looked blurry—just like every other clock in this damn hospital. Lucky me. While werewolves could usually count their age with precision, I was stuck in the dark about it.All I could do was roam the halls. I saw human patients, most of them covered in blood from car accidents—maybe kind of like how I looked yesterday, except, well, I was a werewolf. I also saw families collapsing in grief after getting bad news about loved ones who didn’t make it. It was the kind of tragedy that happened every day around here.It wasn’t that I didn’t care. The truth was—I couldn’t feel anything at all. But this place, it gave me just enough clarity to think. Being here could mess up a teenage guy's head, but also helped me understand life a bit better. The human side of me still felt some empathy for everything going on.But my wolf side—who the

Phoebe“Don’t mess with me, Adonis.”My knees went weak when I saw Adonis’s panicked reaction. If I ended up pregnant, my dad would literally kill me.The thought of walking around with a pup bump—maybe even twins or triplets—sent chills down my spine. No way I could be a teen mom still rocking my Livingstone uniform or munching popcorn on the couch 'cause my belly’s in the way.“Hahaha… your face is priceless.”“Why the hell are you laughing?” I snapped at him.Seriously? He was laughing while I was having a full-blown panic attack. His cheerful giggle only made my headache worse. I didn’t even bother rinsing the soap off—I just moved away from the shower.“Hey,” he called.Adonis was holding something. It was white, kinda see-through, and shiny under the bathroom light. It looked crumpled, probably from him squeezing it. I knew exactly what it was.“You looked so freaked out. Relax, Phoebe. I’m not stupid.”I leaned back against the wall, annoyed. What the hell was going through his

Phoebe"I'm not that petty, honey."Honestly, I was just teasing him—but damn, he’s still so stiff. I mean, I’d probably be freaking out too if someone brought up mating, the whole ceremony, and the idea of being officially bonded. Just thinking about it made my stomach twist.I giggled after messing with Hayden. The guy immediately turned awkward, his ears turning red—an adorable contrast to that silver hair of his.By the Moon Goddess, he looked like a flustered puppy.I slowly pulled on the silver ribbon and opened the box. A silver dress caught my eye instantly. My heart skipped a beat as I took them out.“They’re beautiful. I can’t believe you got these for me.”“I’ve had them for a while. I was waiting for the right moment to give them to you—since your birthday passed before we really got to know each other.”“I love them, Hayden,” I said, genuinely.Coming from someone so obsessed with perfection, he didn’t choose something fancy like silk or chiffon. The fabric of the dress h

Phoebe“I’ll be front row at the venue.”My palms were already sweaty as I sat down, about to open Tyra’s message. In front of me, Coach Cooper was explaining the stage rules. This was my first time actually playing in an official match, and my knees felt like jelly.Even though I tried to keep my cool, the way Coach Cooper moved his hands while explaining our strategy made my heart pound even harder. Finley handed me a water bottle, and I could tell he was just as nervous as I was.I took a sip, but my mind was stuck on the part about how aggressive the enemy team would be in the early game. My hands were still sweating.Damn it.The anxiety started even before we got here—on the ride to the venue, a grand white building rented by the organizers. It was the only thing Finley and I talked about during the drive. Neither of us had ever performed in front of a crowd this big. And for me, this wasn’t just another match. It was my shot to prove I could stand on that stage… even after what
