I honstly think it's a PR cover up story. I'm pretty sure VR and her team have taken into account of the backlash they got from Allegiant and decided to give people time to get over the death of Tris.

A good half of the audience has washed their hands of this series after that book. The sales would be horrible if they released the short stories right now. They have to bet that people will be a bit calmer in a few months, particularly after having watched the movie. It's the complete opposite of what they were originally trying to do with these, staggering the releases to lead UP to the movie coming out to build interest.
LOL I'm glad you all agree. I'm currently on the " I will never read anything VR writes again" regiment. Will I feel the same in July of next year?....yep. lol But who knows, maybe some people will have gotten over it.
I was really looking forward to these until I read Allegiant. I was so disappointed in the book, I really did not like how Four/Tobias character turned out to be weak in this book. Don't get me started on the death of characters either... Not even sure I will go see the movie.

Everyone always wants the bad news first, so here goes.
Bad News: the three remaining stories from Four's perspective that I've been working on, which were supposed to come out later this year/early next year, have been delayed until July 2014. They'll be bundled together and sold as a hardcover under the title Four: A Divergent Collection, with some fun extra content, and at that time they will also be released as separate e-stories (so, if you've already bought the first one, "The Transfer," you don't have to pay again for it in a collection if you don't want to).
If you are asking, incredulously, "why, Veronica? Why must you do this to us?!" My answer is: the stories turned out much meatier and more substantial than I was originally anticipating when I started them. There’s just so much going on—Tobias’s reunion with his mother, his growing disillusionment with the faction system, and some of his early moments with Tris, to name a few. So I just really, really need more time to get them right. I know it sucks, but I am sure that this extra time will result in better work and better stories for everyone to read.
Okay. Good News:
-If you already pre-ordered the second story, "The Initiate," your pre-order will not be canceled. It will just take a little longer for you to get it.
-The stories are long. As in, they're about seventy pages each, so if you add them together you get about 280 pages of Tobias's story. Which is as long as some novels. So there's more to read!
-The price for the e-stories will not change, even though they're longer than anticipated.
-The stories will be better in July than they would have been if they had come out this winter, because I'm going to work my butt off to make them that way!
Which is what I'm off to do right now, actually.

-UGH THIS IS HORRIBLE. First that ending, now this.
