Tied in red (completed )

"Her rank is...." Arlo fell silent. He needed a believable persons Not John to be his 'fated mate' someone that would go a long with his act. Someone his mom would like.

'Seraphina?' No, she wouldn't go along with it.

'Remi' nope her fated mate is blyke and the two have been dating for a few months now.

Then I have to go along with my last resort. Arlo exhaled through his nose

"she's a healer"

"From are turf wars team"

"An elite-tier" he sighed

Arlos mom smiled widely. "That's fantastic, for a moment I was scared it was a low-tire or in even worst a boy".

Arlo cringed mentally. He was a where that his mom was extremely homophobic, and he was scared that if his mom found out about his small white lie that he would be disowned.

He would be disowned , for sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tears. There falling John had tried to keep them in but it was hard. He felt less then useful now. Claire had left him, and now Arlo.

John wasn't positive that Arlo was the one that cut the string but there wasn't any other suspects. Either then sera but she wouldn't, she wouldn't, not sera.

John crouched over in his warm blanket.  the string, John had it tightly rapped in his knuckle. Rapped around each of his fingers.

He leaned against his bed frame. 

The tight felling in his chest has not left him yet. It hurt. Arlo hurt him yet again.

The dark haired male didn't even think the blond cared as far as thought about him the way John thought about him the first time they meet.

John rapped the blanked tighter around himself.

John was ashamed of how he thought of the blond before, then again John thought the blond was like an angel for helping him.

John brought the hand with the string out of his blanked.

Maybe he should just let go of the blond. His hands opened up the string exempt for the line connected to his pinky fell onto his bed.

Let go of the blond.

Arlo stood on his balcony of his apartment. The wind blew through his hair. The phone buzzes next to his ear. Waiting for eilian to pick up.

His mother had left an hour ago. She was going to inform Arlo's father of his 'fated mate' eilain.  and  Arlo was going to inform eilain that she was  now his (fake) fated mate.

Of Corse they wouldn't actually date they would just act like they're fated mates in front of his parents.

"Eh A-Arlo"

'Finally'

"Eilain I..."

A week has past since I have started going out with sera and everything has been great so far. Nothing really has changed except for us acting like lovers in a way. If I'm being honest I haven't been happier-

There was a group of students gathered around one of the walls looking at what I assume is a poster talking and gossiping away.

Some girls walk past me giggly "did you hear Arlo and eilian are fated mates-"

I froze.

'What?' I push my ways through the crowed of students. Getting some "stop pushing cripple" and "ew don't touch me trash"  but I ignore them.

I needed to find out what this poster said.

I got to the front of the crowd. And there it was in big red letters.

KING ARLO AND EILAIN HAVE COME OUT AS FATED MATES

What the hell was this bullshit?
