It was the morning that his parents left, and Brent and Hill left with the first batch out to the front lines.
Captain Sergei had been messaging him for the last 24 hours, excited to have 'fresh blood' as he said, but Kellen was sure he was just happy that Uncle Tom was leaving him alone since the Saturn Guild was coming to the front lines.
He had been kept out of the loop about who was coming to the front lines, which Kellen did think was ridiculous. There had to be people around him who were still useful. Keeping everyone on his team in the dark seemed like a bad idea.
Kellen's alarm went off, and Rhys groaned in the bed next to him. Kellen, not just because Captain Sergei was texting him constantly, had barely gotten any sleep the previous night. Rhys had flung his arm around and over Kellen in his sleep, and Kellen had laid on his back, staring up at the ceiling as the other man had slept on beside him.
