The keeper of the Onyx (mxm)

Chapter 4: Lonely

This chappie isn't interesting so I apologize for boring you a bit but I'm in the middle of finishing off 3 assignments at once so my mind is kinda scattered at the moment lol

Anyway enough about me

Enjoy the picture of shirtless island boys *fans face* cause I am *wink*

Tensed silence hung through the air, making standing here awkward and uncomfortable. The director just came out with the news and since he's a 'straight to the point' kinda man outside of his family, he just blurted out the mission with no regard on how my team is going to react to it

Rebekah, Simon and Gabriel stood in front of us in a rigid stance; hands behind their back, legs shoulder length apart, back straight and eyes front. Becky and Simi's eyes seemed to light up in rage and murderous intention while Gabe's eyes turned blank as he stared at the director with emotionless eyes. I guess that's why he's the leader of the group; his ability to separates business with personal affairs is remarkable

"That's all I wish to inform you about the mission. Gabriel this is more on the mission"

Director Winston handed Gabe a manila folder. Taking a step forward, he took the file from his hand and went back into position.

"You're all dismissed. The jet will leave in 5 hours, so make sure you pack your things in due time and say your goodbyes quickly. The faster you finish this, the faster you'll be back home. I don't want you all to stretch this out" With a curt nod, he walked out with his head held high

As soon as he was out of sight, forget about out of hearing range, Becky and Simi began complaining, whining, arguing and threatening. It was amusing to see a huge man stomping his foot like a child and holding his arms over his chest with a little pout on his lips

Becky, true to her nature, glared openly at the wall in front of her like it was its fault we're going to help the pack I once called my own.

Gabriel stood quietly, staring at the folder in his hand before sighing. His blank mask finally breaking as he gazed over at me

"How do you feel about this?"

Becky and Simi seemed to break out of their 'thoughts' and turned their attention to me as well. I studied Gabe for a while before answering his question.

His rusty coloured hair was neatly styled on his head. His dark green eyes held concern and anger. Concern for how I'm taking this and anger in the situation handed to us. His thin lips were in grim line, his brows furrowed together in worry and his face contorted in anxious suspense

I smiled despite the storm brewing in me. He's not only the head warrior in our little group but he's also like the papa bear in our little family. There's no need to worry him more than he already is, so I just shrugged and turned the attention away from me

"Are we taking the mates with us this time around?"

They looked reluctant in the change of topic but I'm thankful when Simi smiled and spoke up

"Like I would leave Daniel here all by himself" Simi scoffed "You know how he gets when he's bored out of his mind. Better to take him with me so I could keep a close eye on him then leave him here to start trouble for the sentinels"

Gabe nodded in agreement while Becky just shrugged

"Jake might as well tag along. Ever since I told him about the baby, he hasn't left my side. It took a lot of threats to make him leave me be so I could come by myself"
