Hyberia - Stories from the Lupine Autonomous Zone

By CodyFox

Chapter 1

"Every creature deserves respect!" Caleb exhorted his young classmates as they filed past the table he'd set up in the main hallway of their school. The young black wolf was handing out little hand-made informational flyers entitled with the letters W.E.T.N.A.

"What... kind of... uhh... 'club' is this?" asked a red furred wolf boy while he held up the flyer in his paw, inspecting it skeptically.

Caleb grinned broadly... a potential new recruit! He puffed up proudly as the other boy looked over the flyer, folding his paws together as he explained "It's an awesome club! We are a group of wolves, and others, who believe in treating all of creation with kindness and respect, especially those who are lesser than us. We... uhh... we work to promote justice for those creatures who are mis-treated..."

As Caleb continued to talk, the other wolf boy looked over the front and back of the flyer. He focused his attention briefly on the bright, sunny cover image which featured a drawing of a cute, friendly looking wolf cub with big green eyes, hugging a four legged lamb. "Lame!" the other boy said before Caleb could even finish his speech, tossing the flyer back on the table and turning eagerly to the next offering, the 'Skateboarding Club.'

Caleb watched in disbelief, twitching one of his ears a few times and still having his mouth partially open. That was the fastest anyone had rejected his group. At least the other boys and girls had listened to his whole spiel before declining and moving on. He sighed then, lowering both of his big, fuzzy black ears, looking a bit dejected.

The snow-leopard boy standing next to Caleb patted him on his back and smiled broadly, trying to cheer up his friend, "Don't worry, Caleb! We've still got plenty more opportunities for new recruits!"

"Ugh! I don't know, Rory. I've lost count of how many refusals we've gotten." Caleb huffed and crossed his arms, still having a hard time understanding how some wolves could be so closed-minded! It's not like he was trying to force them into the vegetarian club or something, though... he himself had tried that out one time before. It was... an interesting experience for the boy, to say the least! But, that was a whole different story.

"Awww, but this club is such a wonderful idea! And.... what kind hearted wolf could resist the adorable picture I drew on the flyers!" Rory said to his buddy with a giggle, gesturing to the image of wolf and lamb friends. Rory had decent artistic talent for his young age of ten, even if some of his wolf classmates didn't recognize it. The cute feline boy smiled again to Caleb, "Just watch... I'll snag us a couple members," he said and held his flyer up while flagging down a few passing wolf children.

Caleb snickered a little too, looking over the shorter snow-leopard boy. He felt so glad he had Rory around to keep his hopes high for their new club. It was the first day of the new school year, and classes were always out of session on that day so that the children of LAZ PS1 could join clubs, sign up for activities, and make new friends. In addition to W.E.T.N.A., there were a number of other clubs being advertised in the school's main hallway, including a swimming club, a science club, and a movie club. Certainly, Caleb was athletic and smart enough, and enjoyed all of those things, but he had been really excited about starting his club this year. Deep down, he was a gentle hearted boy and truly believed in doing what was right, especially when it came to the helpless creatures within the LAZ. Besides, Caleb was thirteen now and this would be his last year at PS1 before he moved on to high school, so it was his last chance to start a club here.

"Ohh, look there's Venera! I bet she'll join," Rory piped up and patted at Caleb's paw, gesturing to the approaching female white wolf. Caleb smiled and nodded eagerly. Aside from Rory, Venera was one of his best friends at the school. She was also thirteen and starting her last year at the school. Caleb had mentioned the club idea to her at the end of last year, and she seemed to like it. The wolf boy smiled and wagged his tail happily as she approached.

Venera smiled back warmly upon seeing the two boys, swiftly making her way over to their table. "Caleb! Hehe..." she giggled all cutely while picking up one of the flyers and checking out the cover, "So this is the new group you were talking about... and who did this awesome cover art?" she asked with a sly, knowing grin.

"Oh, oh! It was me! You really like it?" asked Rory while beaming up to her and blushing.

"Of course! I should have known it was you, you're getting to be so talented," she replied while petting over the younger snow leopard boy's ears. Rory reacted by giggling and flicking his ears about happily.

"And to answer your question, Venera, yes this is the new group! Or motto is, 'Respect and justice for all creatures!'" Caleb said proudly. Rory nodded and blushed again as he looked to his wolf friend, swishing his long white and black splotched tail.

Venera giggled a bit more looking between the two cute boys for a moment, and then returned her gaze to the flyer. "Well... you already know how I feel about this kind of stuff, Caleb. I'm definitely in," she said while bobbing her head and smiling again warmly. The sweet natured wolf girl then turned to one side, her large fluffy white tail swishing towards the two boys in a graceful sweep as she bent down a little... and for the first time, Caleb realized that she wasn't here alone. "How about you, Ganymede? Do you wanna join W.E.T.N.A.?"

Ahh yes! Caleb snickered and waved happily as he recognized Venera's little brother coming into view as she turned to the side. He was a short little guy, about half her age and easily obscured by his tall big sis and her large, luxurious tail. He was just starting out his first year at LAZ PS1.

Ganymede smiled brightly as he looked up to Caleb and Rory with large green eyes, just like his sister's. "It's my big brother's club? Ohh yesh, I wanna join!" he said, swishing his own fluffy white tail as his sister handed him the flyer. The young wolf boy's attention was immediately drawn to Rory's adorable picture and he smiled back up to the two older boys once more, bobbing his head eagerly.

"Awesome!" Caleb exclaimed, smiling again proudly and putting his paws on his hips. "In addition to Gideon, we now have five members! All we need is one more to meet the minimum requirement."

Rory looked quite thoughtful for a moment, holding one paw to his chin and swishing his leopard tail against the folding chair behind him. Then, suddenly he grinned and tugged on the arm of Caleb's shirt, forcing the wolf boy to lean over so he could whisper in his ear, "I know who... Now that Venera's joined our group..." the leopard boy giggled and twitched his ears again, looking happily to his friend. Caleb snickered a bit and nodded his agreement.

~

Although most of the first day of the school year was devoted to fun, meeting up with friends, and exploring new activities, there still was some business to attend to at the end of the day. The students also needed to be introduced to their new teachers and their new study companions, and receive their first official homework assignments.

Caleb was kind of eager to find out who his study companion would be this year. The prior year, when he was in the seventh grade, his eighth grade companion was a very nice, caring, gray wolf girl named Lauraleigh. She was exceptionally smart and would always tutor him on his math homework. She was also a bit of a dreamer, always talking about how she someday wanted to leave the LAZ and go to live in Yasera, the largest metropolis in all of Hyberia, where she would become an archivist in the city's great library.

Yasera was once the capital of Hyberus, a homeland for various herbivore races. However, after defeating the mostly lupine country of Zanzia in the 2 Year War, the herbivore races combined the two countries into one, Hyberia, and moved the capital to a more neutral position. Although no longer a capital city, Yasera still continued to grow dramatically with the influx of carnivore immigrants seeking to live in harmony with their fellow creatures, and was known to be incredibly cosmopolitan and technologically advanced. Caleb wished he could travel to Yasera someday too, maybe even attend one of its great universities, but he knew his father would never let him. Caleb's destiny was here, in the LAZ...

The wolf boy sighed a little, his big hazel eyes gazing down over his desk as he sat there in the classroom among his fellow eighth graders. Without warning, Venera, who sat to his left, reached over and poked him in the side while he was distracted. Caleb gasped and squirmed, reaching a paw down instinctively to protect vulnerable spots on his young body. "Hey! What was that for?" he asked, smiling nervously.

She giggled a bit and swished her big, fluffy white tail along the back of her chair, "Aww come on, Caleb, we've known each other for a long time. I can tell when you are feeling down. What's going on? Aren't you at least excited about your new club?"

Caleb straightened himself up a little more in his seat as he regained his composure, then nodded and tried to smile again, not wanting to think about his duties right now... "Don't worry! I'm fine! I was just thinking hard about the types of things we should do for our initial club activities, that's all."

Venera crossed her arms a little, narrowing her deep green eyes a bit as she watched Caleb closely. "Uhuh? Well... I'm sure we'll discuss that at tomorrow's first meeting," she said, knowing he wasn't telling her everything, but letting it go for now.

Caleb was about to thank his friend for her concern, his muzzle getting halfway open before their new teacher, Mr. Gerrard Beck, got their attention by tapping the digital audio/visual board at the front of the classroom. Caleb had seen him around the school before. He was a medium sized but muscular looking black wolf, and served as the coach for the school's wrestling team.

"Alright class, quiet. Quiet now!" Most of the boys and girls ended their chattering and swiftly turned in their seats, looking to the front of the classroom where Mr. Beck stood with his amber eyes gazing out over his new students. "You, in the back... Shane, is it?" the teacher narrowed his eyes, gesturing to the far back desk where a black wolf, who was well known for his clownish behavior and immaturity, continued to talk and chuckle. Caleb shook his head disapprovingly as he watched his classmate misbehaving. "If you don't want to wind up as a wrestling dummy for my team's practice next week, I suggest you keep your mouth shut for the rest of the day," Mr. Beck continued, baring his fangs and taking a few menacing steps toward the disobedient boy.

At that, Shane immediately stopped chatting, flicking his ears down. He lowered his eyes as well when the muscular black wolf growled lowly. "Y....Yesssir..." Shane said while whimpering a bit. Even though he wasn't the target of Mr. Beck's show of intimidation, Caleb himself felt a little nervous. Such displays of physical and mental dominance were not uncommon among lupine society, something which Caleb never liked, even if it seemed necessary at times...

With the pup put in his place, Mr. Beck pulled back his menacing expression, allowing the collective nerves of his students to relax, although some of them seemed just as impressed as intimidated. He then stepped back behind his desk, smiling in a surprisingly charming manner while tapping on the desk surface with his large, sharp claws, "Now, children... it is time for you to meet your younger study companions. Remember! You are their 'elders', so you are in charge during inter-class activities. However, you must always treat them with respect and set a good example," he declared while crossing his bulky black-furred arms and eyeing each of his new students carefully to emphasize his points. This time, none misbehaved.

"Good!" The teacher turned to the classroom door, waving in the seventh grade class. In walked several young wolf boys and girls of various colors and sizes. Along with them were a few cheetahs, a panther girl, and several foxes. Caleb recognized many of them. Almost all had been at PS1 since the first grade, and his class had been paired up with theirs before for study companions. Caleb's most recent pairing was the cream colored fox boy who strode in towards the end, wearing his usual mischievous grin on his muzzle. Chance was his name. Chance was a bit of a goofball, always putting on a show and cracking jokes. He was generally a good hearted boy, but he was a terrible study companion. Caleb groaned a little and hoped he didn't get paired up with Chance again, smiling and bobbing his head to the fox boy in acknowledgement as he spied Caleb and waved eagerly.

Mr. Beck went down the line of seventh graders, counting them on his paw, gruffing at Chance when he got to the energetically waving fox boy. Chance glanced up at the buff teacher and smiled innocently, dialing his enthusiasm down a few notches, though the fox boy did manage to shoot a blushing glance over at Venera.

"Since we have two extra seventh graders, two of my students will have an extra study companion." Mr. Beck said, swishing his big black tail casually and walking along behind the seventh graders with his paws behind his back, inspecting them like some army drill sergeant. "As is the usual school policy, we'll randomly assign you kids together." Once he got back to his desk, the teacher picked up a cardboard box and a bunch of small papers and pencils. "Each of you just write your name on the paper, and the eighth graders will pick a name, understood?" he huffed, standing in front of the younger kids again. They all nodded and waited patiently as he handed out the papers and pencils, and then jotted down their names obediently. Just as Mr. Beck was about to begin collecting the papers, though, there was a knock at the open classroom door.

"Mr. Beck..." spoke a familiar voice. Caleb quickly recognizing the firm, and yet attractive feminine voice of the school's principal, Ms. Noir. She was a tall, statuesque dark gray wolf, with perceptive blue eyes which often seemed to alternate between piercing and motherly.

Mr. Beck, who's back was facing the door at that moment, immediately smiled a broad grin when hearing the attractive female's voice, turning to face her "Why Ms. Noir, what might I help you with this afterno..." He couldn't even finish his sentence, his smile quickly changing into an expression of surprise... perhaps disbelief, as he gazed out into the hallway at the boy holding Ms. Noir's paw.

~

Mr. Beck's surprise quickly spread to all of the seventh and eighth graders as Ms. Noir walked into the classroom, holding the paw of... of... a bunny boy! A few boys and girls gasped softly, but otherwise the room was dead silent. Like Ms. Noir, the boy was mostly covered with grey fur, though his was several shades lighter. He appeared to have fluffy white ventral fur, and a few white spots on his shoulders. His giant gray "lop" ears hung down nearly to his hips, with white fluff lining the insides of them. There was something very strange about this boy, however. Caleb had seen pictures of bunnies in magazines from Yasera. Lauraleigh had showed them to him. Those bunnies had little poofy tails, or small spade-shaped tails. The wolf boy blinked curiously, looking at the long, fluffy, distinctly wolf-like tail flowing from the bunny boy's school slacks just above his butt. Caleb sat up a bit more straight, focusing his attention much more on this strange boy.

The bunny boy held a bit tighter on Ms. Noir's paw, looking around shyly at all of the... well... carnivore boys and girls around him, most of whom had never seen a sentient bunny before. "Boys and girls, this is your new classmate, Sasha." Ms. Noir said, smiling warmly down at the nervous bunny boy and lifting her other paw over his head to stroke through the velvety soft fuzz of his lop ears. Sasha blushed a little bit and swished his tail, looking back up at her, and then back at his new classmates. "He will be joining the seventh grade. His parents have been raising Sasha and his little sister in the north for some time, but just recently moved to the LAZ. She will also be attending school here." Most of the kids were still just taking this all in, their amazed... curious... and in some cases, slightly famished looking eyes fixed on Sasha. "I fully expect that every one of you will treat Sasha with the utmost respect. If I hear anything different..." Ms. Noir's gentle gaze lifted from the cute bunny boy and settled on the students, "the offending parties will be spending the next month in detention, under my 'personal' care."

As Ms. Noir was finishing her introduction, several of Caleb's classmates had raised their paws to ask obvious questions. However, her stern warning seemed to scare several of them into lowering their paws. One single paw remained raised, however. It was Harley, a large red wolf boy in Caleb's class who fancied himself a bully. He didn't take his eyes off Sasha for a second.

"Yes, Harley? Do you have a question?" Ms. Noir asked while placing her paw on her hip.

"Yea," the boy said, his tone somewhat mocking, "Just what exactly is he, anyway?"

Ms. Noir narrowed her eyes at Harley, hardening her gaze just enough to show she meant business, and even letting off a warning growl of her own. "He's a wolf, and that's all you need to know, pup."

Harley grinned a little at her words, lifting his gaze to hers. Unlike Shane, though, Harley wasn't the type to openly cower when challenged. He just snickered a bit to himself and replied, "Yes, mam." Harley's snickering was mirrored by a hyena girl on his left, and another black wolf boy on his right, both of whom exchanged mischievous looks with the red wolf bully.

Ms. Noir kept her watchful eyes on all three of them, making a mental note, before turning to Mr. Beck. "Sasha's parents will be coming by to visit with you and Mr. Quinn after school, to make sure things go smoothly with both of your classes. Don't let me down," she said, finally releasing the 'bunny' boy's paw and crossing both arms over her chest. Sasha stood there next to the protective female wolf, using her as a partial barrier between him and that mean-looking red wolf boy who was staring at him so intently.

Mr. Beck sighed a little, wondering to himself how in the heck he got saddled with this kind of social experiment... the school had a tough enough time getting the kids used to their non-carnivore nurse, Ms. Stevens. But... they'd never had a... a student before! At least Mr. Quinn, the seventh grade teacher, would be shouldering most of the burden, he thought. "Of course, m'dear! You know that no one else is better at keeping their class in line!"

Principal Noir seemed unfazed by Mr. Beck's attempt at charm, looking at him with that same stern, business-like expression, "See that you do..." she replied, patting Sasha once more on his head before swiftly striding back out into the hallway.

Mr. Beck huffed softly, keeping his eyes on the principal's swaying hips and watching as her dark gray tail swept side to side underneath her chocolate brown skirt. He sighed a little as she stepped out of sight, shaking his head and looking down at the strange, nervous bunny boy standing in front of him. By now, the students were quietly chatting again, commenting about their strange new classmate. "Alright... alright everyone, pipe down." Mr. Beck rapped his claws on his desk, regaining the students' attention. "Sasha," he said to the new boy, offering him a piece of paper and pencil. The bunny boy looked at the other seventh graders, seeing that they'd all written their names on their little slip, and he quickly did the same. "Good uhh... lad, now let's get on with it," Mr. Beck said and collected all of the slips in his box.

Caleb was quiet again, his soft hazel eyes and his curious thoughts focused on this 'bunny' boy, Sasha. The wolf kid had previously imagined what it might be like to meet a lapine in person, or an equine... or rodent... or many of the other herbivore races, if he ever got to visit Yasera. Sure, he'd gone to the school nurse Ms. Stevens many times, and she was an antelope. But, she was... different. She had been living in the LAZ for a long time, and was really a diplomat of sorts, who often met with and advised his father. Caleb really had no idea how it would feel to meet an herbivore close to his own age. Now, all kinds of thoughts were going through his adolescent mind... his curiosity of course, but also the boy's inherent desire for friendship, his excitement for the unknown, his fondness for cute things... even... cute boys...

Caleb blushed quite a bit, his young heart suddenly beating a lot more quickly. He'd never spent much time thinking about... well, sexuality. He always just did whatever felt good, and always imagined the things that seemed to excite his young mind. A few times, he'd had daydreams with Rory in them. He'd even gotten aroused on a couple occasions when holding paws with the cute snow-leopard boy, or when they play-wrestled during sleepovers. Rory never seemed bothered by it, so Caleb didn't worry about it either. This though... there was something different... this boy was definitely as cute as Rory, but along with that adolescent attraction came another sensation... something Caleb felt terribly ashamed for but couldn't deny... hunger.

While the wolf boy was distracted with his thoughts and confused feelings, Mr. Beck had made his way around half of the classroom and now stood between his desk and Venera's. He poked Caleb on his shoulder, startling the boy out of his thoughtful trance. "It's your turn, Caleb..." Caleb blinked a few times, glancing up to the front of the class... the new boy was still there, along with Chance, among the remaining seventh graders. Caleb looked up to Mr. Beck, his paw shaking a little nervously as he lifted it towards the box. Caleb knew what was about to happen, almost as if he'd seen it in a dream some time before. He knew that he was different than all of the other boys and girls in the LAZ. He was 'special,' Destiny's favored cub, as his father always said. Caleb swallowed and closed his eyes and reached into the box, grabbing the first slip that touched his paw and pulling it out.

Caleb didn't even need to open his eyes. He heard Mr. Beck chuckling, and then felt the teacher's large paw patting him on his back. "How fortunate, young Caleb! I don't think anyone is better suited for this pairing than the son of great Darius. I am sure young Sasha will do quite well in your capable paws," he said sincerely. It was certainly not the first, or the last time that one of his teachers referred to his father. Caleb exhaled softly as he finally opened his eyes again and looked up, blushing slightly while watching the bunny boy approaching. Sasha was looking back at Caleb nervously, playing with the fabric of his white uniform shirt and dark slacks. Now that he was closer, Caleb could see a bit more of the shape of the boy's body. Like the bunnies he had seen in the magazines, Sasha's hips and butt were more curvy looking than the leaner carnivore boys. His thighs were also a bit thicker, though Caleb couldn't tell if that was from padding or extra muscle. Something that really stood out from the bunnies in the magazines though was Sasha's paws... they seemed larger, and with thick black pads rather than the pink ones he was expecting. They looked like... well... wolf-paws.

Sasha stood next to Caleb's desk, lightly swishing that long fluffy gray tail of his while looking down at his nose. Both boys remained silent for now, letting the teacher finish up with the rest of the pairings. Caleb couldn't help himself from testing the bunny boy's scent though, looking as innocent he could while wriggling his nose in Sasha's direction. He blinked a few times and looked down too, feeling the crotch of his pants tightening a little as he took in an attractive mixture of wolfish musk and some kind of berry flavored shampoo coming off Sasha's body.

After finishing his task, Mr. Beck walked back to the front of the classroom and stood with one paw on his side and the other on his desk, smiling casually, "Alright students. You have ten minutes to talk with your new study companions before the end of the day. You'll be meeting with them at the end of each week. Also, remember, we encourage spending time together outside of school, too." With that, the teacher sighed to himself and flopped down into his chair, going over seating charts and memorizing his new students' names.

Fortunately for Caleb, he was sitting with a desk positioned over his crotch and no one, especially not Sasha, could see the obvious erection he was sporting. He glanced up at the bunny boy, but Sasha was still just fidgeting a little and looking about shyly. Although most of the students were now occupied with chatting up their study companions, there were still a number of them who were staring at him. Caleb looked back down for a moment, trying to push aside his boyish hormones and... that embarrassing hunger... and thinking about what he should say to introduce himself to the other boy.

"Caleb..." Sasha suddenly spoke, the boy's voice soft and sweet sounding. Caleb's pants got tighter as his arousal grew slightly bigger.

"Uhh... y... yes, Sasha?" he responded and exhaled slowly, keeping only one paw on his desk now as he returned his gaze to Sasha's pretty body. His other paw was down under his desk, pressing down on his pants-bulge as if trying to keep his boyhood under control.

The young bunny waited just a little longer before replying, scooting slightly closer to Caleb's desk as he caught a glimpse of Harley staring at him again. His plush bunny butt gently brushed against Caleb's side, getting the wolf boy to flick his ears in a slightly flustered manner. Sasha then looked down at Caleb and played his paws together over his belly, "Who's... Darius?"

Caleb blinked a couple times, and then nodded to himself. Sasha was new to the LAZ. Of course he wouldn't know who his father was. It certainly wasn't something the wolf boy liked to brag about. In fact, his father's status, along with his own duties, made him often feel isolated from even his close friends. He sighed slightly and responded quietly, almost whispering to the other boy, "He's my dad... He's the head of the LAZ's governing council."

Sasha let out a soft "Ohhh..." blinking as well, brushing his paws back down over his own curvy bunny-like hips again before resting them behind his back again, nodding... he might have been impressed, but the boy still seemed a bit too nervous for Caleb to be able to tell. "Can I ask another question, Caleb?" Sasha said, showing a slightly more hopeful expression than he did before.

"Ohh... sure. That's what study companions are for," Caleb replied while putting on a friendly smile for the younger boy's benefit. His right paw was still squished into his crotch... he felt a bit of heat coursing through his sensitive young body as he squeezed a few times at his growing bulge.

Sasha nodded again, his hopeful expression turning quite serious once more... He didn't seem to notice what Caleb was doing with his paw... he seemed more distracted by his own thoughts. Slowly, the bunny boy bent over, lifting his cute butt slightly in the direction of some of the other students while he whispered again to Caleb, "W...will I be safe here? Um... Will... I be safe... with... with you?"

The bell sounded suddenly, signaling the end of the first day of school. Most of the school's children seemed to be out of their classrooms though before the bell even finished ringing, making quite a bit of distracting noise in the hallways. Caleb wondered for a moment about Sasha's question. However, before he could come up with anything meaningful, Mr. Beck had made his way over to the two boys and was patting Sasha's shoulder to get his attention. "Alright, young lad, come along. We'd best not leave Mr. Quinn or your parents waiting," he said.

"Y... Yes sir," Sasha said. The shy bunny boy stood up straight again while his huge, fuzzy lop ears swayed a little. He looked at his nose again, and then back at Caleb before being lead back to the seventh grade room.

"Welcome to the first official meeting of W.E.T.N.A.," said Gideon, a tall, athletic-looking brown wolf boy. He stood at the front of the mostly empty eighth grade classroom, smiling confidently and looking out at Caleb, Rory, Venera, and her little brother Ganymede, all of whom were seated in desks before him. Behind the wolf lad, the classroom's digital board displayed the words: Wolves for the Ethical Treatment of Non-Sentient Animals. "We're supposed to keep the first meeting short, and I have soccer practice in less than half an hour anyway, so once our sixth member gets here we'll just assign positions and finish up," he said, glancing quickly at the digital clock shown on the lower right-hand side of the board's huge, interactive touch screen. Three thirty five...

Gideon sighed, "Are you sure he's coming?" the wolf boy asked of Rory, giving the young leopard an impatient look.

Rory was busy fidgeting with his long splotchy tail, holding its tip just above his chest with his left paw while smacking it about innocently with his right. He smiled up to Gideon when addressed by the older boy, blushing and nodding his head "Ohh yes yes, he'll be here! Don't worry," he giggled.

Gideon rolled his eyes a bit and crossed his arms over his chest, putting on the usual 'firm' expression that the boy showed when he was trying to look all serious. Even though he could be impatient at times, it was still obvious that Gideon was eager for the opportunity to be in charge of their club, and Caleb was happy that he volunteered for the role. Although Caleb had come up with the idea himself, he knew he couldn't be the leader. His father would never allow it. Ever since he was very little, the boy was constantly reminded of his important role in the future of the LAZ, and was scolded routinely for his propensity towards empathy and kindness. Even though the two year war had been over for a long time, for his father, the conflict had never seemed to end. "Any day now," his father had often said, hostilities could be re-ignited, and his family was entrusted with the grave responsibility of protecting the LAZ from the herbivores' technological power. It was a waste of time for him to be looking out for the rights of those below him, when he should be focused on protecting his people from those above him. Caleb gritted his teeth a little, thinking about all of the... tests and challenges he had to suffer through due to his father's commitment, "It's easy for him to talk about responsibility... he's not the one who has to interface with that... thing..." the boy thought to himself, clenching his paws a little.

Venera was looking over at Caleb again with a bit of a concerned look. He looked even more intense than earlier, she thought. She was about to try and get his attention again when the sixth member finally made his grand entrance.

"Awww, thanks for waiting for me guys! I guess it only makes sense though, you couldn't really get things going without the most important member!" Both Venera and Caleb looked up at the same time to see Chance, the cream-colored fox boy strolling into the room, with his usual mischievous grin on his muzzle. Caleb sighed a bit, returning from his thoughts about his family and duty. He tried his best to focus his attention on the here and now, smiling a little as he looked between Chance and Gideon, "Alright... everyone's here Gideon. Why don't we get started?"

Venera glanced at Chance and giggled a little, to which the fox boy blushed noticeably. Although the boy was trying to act cool in her presence, it was impossible for him to hide the nervous swishing of his thick long fox tail as he glanced between the girl and the floor. Rory, who was watching all of this closely (as was his nature), nudged Caleb on his side and giggled again quietly, "See... I told ya he'd come," the boy whispered and winked. Caleb just snickered a little to himself and nodded in agreement.

"Alright... Chance, please be on time from now on. I have just ten minutes until practice!"

Chance looked up to Gideon, still a little flustered, and nodded apologetically.

"Good, now go sit next to Ganymede. He saved a spot for you," Gideon said, keeping his arms crossed and waiting for the fox boy to be seated before he started. Chance quickly padded over to the offered seat, which was on the opposite side from Venera. Ganymede swished his tail and smiled proudly as the fox sat down, though Chance paid the young wolf little attention as he kept glancing over the big sister... and boy was she big, the kid thought as his heart beat slightly faster.

Gideon cracked a rare smile and then continued on with the meeting, doling out the club's hierarchy as his visual presentation flashed on the digital board behind him. He would be president and Caleb vice president, Venera was shown as treasurer, Rory and Ganymede were put in charge of communications, and last but not least, Chance would be their secretary. "Every two weeks, we will come up with a new goal or outing of some kind, then we'll vote on what we want to do..."

Ganymede immediately raised his paw, gasping softly "Oh oh oh," as he tried to get Gideon's attention.

"Yes, Gany?" Gideon said, giving the cute young wolf boy a more gentle expression than what he'd shown to Chance earlier. Even though he was a bit of a tough jock most of the time, he had a little bit of a soft spot for enthusiastic younger kids like Ganymede and Rory.

"Are those going to be like... like saving the baby lambs, just like in the picture?" Ganymede said, all wide-eyed.

Gideon chuckled a little, looking briefly over at the others... Chance, who was rolling his eyes, Venera who was giggling at her little brother's innocent comment, and then at Caleb, who was smiling as well and nodding. "Ohhh... y... yea Gany, I'm sure we'll have one or two outings like that." The little wolf beamed happily in response, looking over at Rory, who was smiling back at him and swishing his long leopard tail. "We'll go over options for our first outing next week," Gideon continued, before turning and gesturing back towards the digital board.

"Alright... before we finish up for today, everyone remember to use your paw-print ID on the digi-board before you go so we can show that we have six members... and, one last thing, I'll quickly read the club rules to you. Chance... please pay attention to these, I don't want us to get disbanded within the first week. Rule 1..."

"Yeesh, why does Gideon have to be such a hard ass," Chance said while walking down the school's main hallway with Caleb and Rory. "He's always talking about me. I bet he's just intimidated by my good looks," the fox boy huffed while striding briskly, slightly ahead of the other two. He spoke quite confidently now that the larger wolf boy wasn't around.

"Oh, come on Chance. He's a really good guy, he's just trying to make sure our club doesn't have any hiccups. I'm sure he likes you a lot more than you think," Caleb said reassuringly.

"Yea! Gideon's real nice... he's even gonna make me into a great soccer player, like him! He said I could even be the first snow leopard to be team captain!" Rory said while smiling brightly. Although the younger leopard boy wasn't the most athletic in their group, Gideon always said snow leopards had a lot of raw natural potential. Plus, Rory was still in the fifth grade so he had a few years to hone his skills.

"Humph, well he's only nice to you guys because you both idolize him. I'm just too real, so he can't handle me... AND he knows he just can't compete with me with the girls," Chance said, stopping at his locker in front of the hallway's final intersection and crossing his arms.

"You mean... like Venera?" Caleb said with a little snicker. Rory giggled a little as well, leaning against Caleb's side.

"Uhhh... well... n... no!" Chance was blushing pretty badly and shook his head, opening his locker and hiding his face behind the door. "I mean... maybe she has the hots for me but, I'm a popular guy, you know."

Caleb just laughed a bit more and shook his head, watching Chance's floofy fox tail wagging madly in reaction to their talk of Venera.

Then, Caleb stopped speaking suddenly, pricking his large black wolf-ears up as he heard a slight sound... It sounded like someone... whimpering...

"Hey... guys, shhh... do you hear that?" Caleb asked, turning to the direction from which he heard the sounds.

Chance blinked, pulling his head back from within his locker and standing still as he listened as well. "Uhh... I'm not sure. What did you hear?" he asked, looking at Caleb curiously. His wolf friend looked quite serious though... His ears were standing fully erect and his tail was up and at attention. Rory was looking between the two of them, a little unsure himself, though he seemed slightly unsettled by the concerned look on Caleb's face.

"Please..." Caleb heard... The voice was soft, a bit fragile sounding... It was the same one who was whimpering. It sounded very familiar...

"Come on guys," Caleb said, moving swiftly to the hallway's intersection.

Rory followed quickly behind him, and Chance brought up the rear, still looking incredulously at his wolf friend. "You'd better not just be screwing..." Chance halted when he also heard a whimpering sound. He looked back over at Caleb again, who was now showing an even more intense look in his eyes... Caleb growled a little, causing the fox boy's ears and tail to instinctively flick down. Rory, too, looked up with a slightly surprised expression as he noticed Caleb's sudden fierceness. Chance wasn't sure what kind of trouble they were all about to get into, but he didn't have much time to think as he watched Caleb take off in a light sprint down the hall.

Caleb didn't remember his heart ever beating quite this fast as he ran towards the end of the hallway. Every muscle in his body was tense. He felt each of his powerful claws standing out erectly, ready to deliver a killing blow on his prey. He wasn't a jock like Gideon and didn't play on any official sports teams, yet despite his lack of conditioning, he felt that strange, unnatural level of energy flowing through his body, something distinct and yet familiar. He was so fast right now, even without going all out... Chance and Rory were having a hard time keeping up with him.

As Caleb rounded the corner at the end of this hallway, he noticed a door slightly open halfway towards one of the school's back exits. He recognized it almost immediately... it led to the basement of their school. No one was allowed down there except the janitor or other school staff, but he was sure that that was where the whimpering was coming from.

Chance and Rory were panting as they caught up with him. "Hey... w... wait... you're not supposed to..." Rory spoke softly as he watched Caleb pad briskly over to the basement door. He was cut off before he could finish speaking though as Caleb turned to him, holding a digit over his muzzle and making another quiet "Shhh" sound. Chance and Rory both looked at each other briefly, both slightly nervous about what might happen if they went down there. By the time they looked back at their black wolf friend though, he had already slipped past the door. Rory hesitated a few seconds longer. Then the young leopard boy perked his ears up and steeled his gaze as much as he could, and followed behind his friend. Chance sighed to himself, bringing up the rear once more.

As the three boys picked their way carefully and silently down the dark, circular staircase leading into the school's basement, they could clearly make out the events unfolding below. Some kid was getting beat down, and it was a pretty bad one... maybe even more than just a beat down.

"Stupid herby!"

"Think you can come here and be treated like some kind of equal?"

A third voice laughed darkly, and then someone landed a punch. There was a soft groan and another whimper.

Caleb felt his primal impulse rising... it was an impulse that he always tried to repress, but he couldn't help it this time. He showed his fangs and growled again, this time loud enough for the basement's occupants to hear him.

"Who's up there?" Growled a familiar voice.

"Please... help..." said another... there was no doubt now, that was Sasha.

By now, Caleb's mind was working quickly. He recognized a few others, all from his class... Harley the red wolf, the school's worst bully. Locke was there too... a burly black wolf with a slight northern accent. Both of them were on the football team, and rarely anyone was dumb enough to mess with them.

"Shut up, worthless herby!" came another voice. Another blow was delivered... that one... sounded like the hyena... Darla. Her laugh was quite distinct, too.

Caleb reached the bottom of the stairs... he tensed himself again, knowing that they were probably in for a tough fight. He looked briefly back at Chance and Rory. They were both obviously afraid, but they looked up to him trustingly. They had faith in his leadership. He just hoped he wasn't about to get them all badly injured. Caleb looked back straight ahead, pushing all of his fears aside and stepping out past the wall at the bottom of the stairs and into the open space of the basement. "Leave him alone..." he gruffed.

As soon as Caleb and his comrades stepped out into the open, the wolf boy realized he'd made an error. Harley, Locke, and Darla weren't the only three down here. A fourth was standing behind Sasha, restraining his arms. He was Darren, a tiger who was on the wrestling team. Caleb did his best to stand firm while staring down the bullies. For the most part, Chance was able to keep his composure, but Rory wasn't doing so well. Although he was born with deadly fangs and claws just like the rest of them, the younger snow leopard boy was still clearly trembling.

"Or what?" Harley said, as he moved away from Sasha's whimpering form and took a few steps toward the motley group of would be rescuers.

"We'll... we'll stop you," Caleb responded, clenching his paws and not moving. He knew he couldn't show an ounce of fear now, even if the others struggled. The red wolf would be able to smell his fear and it would be like blood in the water for a hungry shark.

Darla stepped forward as well, extending her claws menacingly and gesturing to each of the boys while laughing "You three? The harmless little kitten, the class clown, and the pacifist, herby-loving prince?" This time, she cackled... that terrifying hyena cackle of hers. "Ohh Harley, I don't remember when I laughed this hard. Let's not hurt them too bad, I'm hoping they try this again sometime soon."

As Darla took up a position behind Harley's left flank, Locke moved into position behind his right. The burly black wolf cracked his knuckles, grinning darkly and showing his big fangs "We WERE going to have a lot of fun with this one before, well... you know... and the furnace would have made sure no one found what was left, but you've ruined all that..."

"You... you were really going to kill him?" Caleb asked, unable to hide his look of disbelief... though, he really shouldn't have been so amazed... he knew the vicious nature of their untamed instincts... He understood it all too well.

"Why not?" Harley snickered. "I've had non-sentient bunny before... but this is the real deal! Besides, one kid like him going missing, in a school full of preds, well everyone would have been a suspect. It would have been their own fault for bringing him here!" The red wolf smiled again briefly at his own cleverness, then fixed his eyes on Caleb once more. "Unfortunately, we can't kill you three, especially cause of your father. Even though you are a total disappointment to him, he'd still probably tear this place apart to find out what happened to you. However, maybe we'll just bloody you up pretty bad... perhaps a broken bone or two. I bet a cute little thing like him would break pretty easy," Harley said as his eyes shifted to Rory.

Suddenly, Caleb felt something snapping somewhere inside of him... something frightening. All of his doubts and fears were suddenly becoming irrelevant. His gaze hardened, his vision blurring... turning red.

Darla stopped laughing so hard as she looked up again at Caleb's expression. She blinked a few times, and then backed away half a step. "Heh... Harley, I... I think you've made him pretty mad with that one," she said as she stepped back again. She'd never seen Caleb like this before... something about the boy's look was getting her hackles up, like she was sensing some kind of danger.

Caleb stepped towards the three bullies without even thinking about it, while Rory and Chance looked up to him again, this time fearfully.

Harley chuckled again, glancing at Darla as she continued to back away "What are you worried about? He can't take all three of us... he can't even take Locke, right?"

Locke cracked his knuckles again and nodded, "Watch me take him down in one punch." Lock moved his large, powerful right leg back, tensing the muscles under his black fur and preparing to strike. He balled his paws into large fists, waiting a few seconds longer for Caleb to move into range. "You're gonna regret this, prince pansy," he said... then, suddenly Locke pushed off from his back leg, jolting forward and swinging his paw-fist in a quick, powerful strike aimed for Caleb's jaw.

Caleb felt like he should be bracing for the blow, but he didn't... Everything and everyone seemed to slow down for a second or two, and he heard his own heart beating with incredible energy. At the last second, right before Locke's fist was about to make contact, Caleb suddenly ducked to the right side, dodging down below the blow, and then he spun sharply on his paw-toes, swinging with his left arm as he turned fully around, his open claw aiming right for Locke's midsection.

For half a second, Locke was taken by surprise as Caleb easily ducked his punch, and luckily he was able to sense the counterattack just early enough to jump back and out of the way of Caleb's deadly looking claw. Caleb stood still as Locke stumbled back to Harley's side, breathing quickly, "Damn! Since when could he fight...?"

Harley snickered again, "Wow Locke, he really almost hit you! You'll never live this one down! Almost scratched by the peacenik..." Harley blinked and cut short his quip as he watched Caleb, standing there and lifting his left paw up to look at it, inspecting his own claws, which had blood on them. Harley blinked again, huffing, then looking at Locke, who's midsection was starting to show blood against nearly invisible cuts in his shirt. Locke looked down at the cuts, gulping... "I... I think these are... pretty deep..." he said, stumbling and looking a bit fearful for the first time in years.

Darla maintained her distance from Caleb, looking back at the tiger, and gesturing to Sasha. "Let him go... we need to leave, now," she stated firmly. Darren looked at her, then at Harley, a bit unsure.

Harley looked between Locke and Caleb several times, still looking with disbelief at the wolf boy standing there, looking at his own claw as if he had no idea what he'd just done. "S... she's right... Locke needs to go to the nurse. Let's go," he growled. Darren released Sasha and made his way to Locke's side, watching Caleb cautiously. However, the boy just stood there in his daze, his vision still blurry and red.

Rory and Chance moved behind Caleb and out of the way as the tiger and hyena shuffled Locke past and helped him up the stairs. Harley followed shortly behind them, glaring at Caleb with a mixture of anger, embarrassment, and a slight bit of anxiety, "This, this isn't over..." he said, before disappearing up the stairwell.

Caleb seemed oblivious to Harley or Locke or any of the other bullies as they left. He was still in a bit of a daze, his vision very slowly clearing up. Rory pulled at his other arm gently, "Caleb, are... are you okay?" The young snow leopard looked up to his friend with mostly concern, though he also couldn't help but feel a slight bit of intimidation from what he'd just seen the older boy do.

Chance stayed slightly to the side, the fox looking Caleb up and down several times, not quite sure how to react.

By the time Caleb was regaining his composure, Sasha was making his way over to the other three boys. He had a bruise on his face, maybe a couple more under his school uniform, but he seemed more or less okay. He kept his eyes and ears mostly down as he approached, blushing strongly and still shivering a little. "T... Thank you," he said softly, bobbing his head to the three of them. As happy as he was to be alright, though, Sasha was still showing a lot of tears running down his face.

Caleb's vision finally cleared up, focusing on the strange bunny youth a moment. The wolf boy blushed a little as he realized Rory was hugging so close to him and nuzzling against his side. He lowered his arm around the snow leopard boy's hip, holding him against his own body and swishing his tail. "It's... alright. We couldn't let them do it... anyone would have stopped them," he said, trying to reassure himself just as much as he was reassuring Sasha.

"Really? I don't... I don't think they're the only ones who see me like that. But, I kept telling them, I'm a wolf! I told them again and again. They just wouldn't believe me..."

Caleb blinked several times, unsure exactly how to respond. Did Sasha really think he was a wolf? But, then again, his paws... his tail... even the boy's teeth.... He had fangs like a wolf. If he wasn't a wolf, what was he? He certainly wasn't just a bunny.

"You think I'm a wolf, don't you?" Sasha trembled again and looked desperately at the three boys in front of him. Chance and Rory looked to him silently, then both glanced at Caleb to see what his response was. Caleb thought about it for another few seconds, listening to his own heartbeat while looking up and down over Sasha's mixed form. Finally, he nodded silently to Sasha.

Sasha was still crying a bit, but he seemed slightly more hopeful. "I'll prove it to you, someday..." he sniffled, turning to the side and bending over to pick up his backpack. This time, both Caleb and Rory were watching his bunny ass go up, though they both attempted to look innocent, ignoring each other's blush. Caleb was just hoping no one had seen that uncontrollable hungry look he knew was probably present in his gaze. Chance was keeping his gaze averted completely, his arms crossed over his chest.

"We'll, ehh... walk with you back to where your parents are. I'm sure the principal will deal with those other boys. You'll be safe... I promise," Caleb said, nodding and swishing his tail again as Sasha stood back up to look at him with his big blue eyes.

"I... have to use the boy's room first," the hybrid bunny boy said, rubbing some tears out of his eyes. He hesitated a moment longer, then padded to the stairway, starting to make his way up the stairs. The other three boys followed, emerging from the flickering shadows of the furnace-lit basement back into the sunlit school hallway.

~

"He's been in there for a little while. Do you think he's okay?" Rory asked the other two boys as they stood guard outside the door of the boy's locker room.

Chance turned to the younger boy with a mischievous look in his eyes, "Heh... he probably just wetted himself or something. You would, too, if you had been in his paws."

Rory huffed and frowned at Chance, the young leopard boy getting all worked up at that joke "How can you be so rude right now?"

Caleb shook his head at Chance, and then petted over Rory's ears to calm him down a bit. "I'll go check on him. Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine. He just needed a minute to get himself together," the wolf boy said, flicking his ears thoughtfully. To tell the truth, he wasn't really sure if Sasha was alright or not, otherwise he would be telling his friends to be patient. "If you see any of those troublemakers coming this way, slip inside and call me over to the door."

Rory nodded, and Chance grumbled to himself, "Geez... How do I get dragged into this kind of stuff?"

With that, Caleb quietly opened the door and padded silently into the boy's locker room. Inside, there were several rows of benches with lockers on each side. On one end of the room were a bunch of shower stalls, and along one of the walls, toilets and sinks. As he expected, Sasha was not in the first few rows of lockers. "He's probably hiding at the back," the boy thought, flicking his large wolf ears and listening.

Somewhere towards the back of the locker room, he could hear the sound of something metal hitting the floor. It sounded like something small... maybe a belt buckle or something. "Is he... undressing?" Caleb wondered to himself, blinking a couple times before he silently proceeded to the back of the room. The boy was extra careful, keeping his claws back and off the floor as much as possible, and walking on his pads.

Before rounding the last row of benches and lockers, Caleb stopped and listened. He heard the sound of clothes rustling... pants coming off, perhaps. The wolf boy blushed faintly, his own bushy black tail beginning to wag again behind him as his adolescent mind went crazy with images of the other boy's naked body waiting right around the corner for him. He'd never seen a naked bunny butt... what would it look like? Feel like...? Caleb's ears flicked up erectly and the boy's wolfhood throbbed and swelled in his sheath, pressing fatly against the crotch of his pants. His pulse picked up noticeably, his excitement rising just as quickly as it did when he first saw Sasha. "No... I'm... I'm not hungry... I'm just, excited," the boy reassured himself... he refused to even consider the possibility that Sasha might be... a... appetizing to him. He wasn't like Harley and those other boys, or any of the other mean wolves in the LAZ. He was a member of W.E.T.N.A. now... Caleb pulled his fangs back a bit, not even having realized they were out. He breathed slowly, relaxing his mind a bit... blushing still. His erection still wouldn't go down though, but he'd certainly settle for just that right now!

Caleb heard Sasha sniffling as the strange bunny boy unzipped something. "I'm... I'm a wolf..." the younger boy said, sniffling more.

Caleb slowly peeked around the corner of the lockers, spying Sasha standing next to one of the benches. Caleb's heart rate increased as he noticed that Sasha was in fact standing there with his school slacks totally pulled off, and his boxers hanging off one of his large, wolfish footpaws. Sasha's heart-shaped bunny butt was facing right towards him, aimed up in the air as the other boy was bent down and fiddling with something on the bench. His fluffy grey wolf tail was arched up above his butt, giving Caleb a lovely view of the white-fluffed inner cheeks of the 'bunny's plush grey butt. Caleb's erection pressed harder at his pants, even starting to get a bit wet in the fabric as his pre-cum started to drool while the boy imagined what kind of fun he might have squeezing those big delicious buns.

No, not delicious! Caleb shook his head, though he was drooling a little out of his mouth as well. He just couldn't help that. He really is... pretty, the boy thought... Sasha was still oblivious to his presence, sniffing a bit more while preparing something atop the bench. Caleb watched patiently, and when Sasha stood back up more fully he pulled his head back a bit further so as not to draw attention. The wolf boy blinked a few times curiously as he finally saw that the flustered bunny boy was holding a large hypodermic needle, full of some kind of silver-colored fluid.

"Yea... I am a wolf," the younger boy repeated, blushing slightly as he turned to face one of the lockers, standing now with the side of his curvy form in Caleb's view. This gave the horny young wolf a better view of Sasha's mostly grey furred face, his saddened but gentle expression, the naked and well-rounded hips just below his lightly fluttering school shirt, and... the boy' surprisingly fat looking white-fuzzed sheath. It was in plain view now, just sorta wobbling there beneath his fluffy white tummy. Caleb didn't think bunnies were supposed to be all that big... well... in that department, but Sasha definitely looked like he was packing. Caleb felt kind of guilty for leering at the other boy like this when he was still recovering, but he just couldn't resist... this was getting kind of hot.

He blinked again, remembering the needle... "Just... what is in that?" the young wolf thought to himself, wincing slightly as he watched Sasha bringing the needle's tip back behind himself and pressing it right up against one of the cheeks of his bunny butt. Sasha sniffled again, clenching his big blue eyes tightly and shedding a few more tears as he pushed the needle fully into his butt with another soft cry. Caleb clenched up a bit more himself... he hated needles. He knew exactly what it felt like to have them prodding and piercing his own body.

Although Sasha clearly appeared to be in pain at first, after the needle was in and the boy began to inject himself with the silvery substance, he began blushing more strongly and moaning. "Oohhh... Ohhh..." Caleb lifted his ears up high, watching with a bit of amazement as Sasha's body reacted pleasurably to that injection. The boy's long fluffy wolf tail hiked up and wiggled about. His footpaws flexed several times, toes splaying out while curling and uncurling, and... the boy's wolfish claws, they even looked like they were growing slightly larger. "Ahh... Yes... a wolf..." Sasha moaned louder, a tremble going through his young body as he finally withdrew the empty needle. He rolled his hips slightly, causing his very plump looking white-fuzzed balls to sway back and forth a bit while his sheath jiggled about and swelled. Caleb's pulse went up about ten-fold when he saw the pointy tip of the bunny boy's fat, black wolf-shaped cock poking up from his sheath in arousal. Sasha's eyes remained closed as his free paw came up and wrapped its digits around his fat sheath, sliding the fuzzy tube up and down over his wolf-cock while the boy's other paw set the needle down on the bench.

Whatever Sasha had just done to himself, the boy seemed like he was many times more sensitive than he was before. His huge lop ears were constantly twitching, as if the simple caress of the air conditioning blowing against them was bringing the boy pleasure. He pulled his sheath all the way back, exposing what looked to Caleb like almost eight inches of black wolf cock. Sasha blushed and pressed his crotch against the locker in front of him, grinding his fat cock and heavy looking nuts on the smooth metal... His prick was throbbing wildly, spurting and leaving a large trail of translucent pre-cum running down the side of the locker and sticking between its surface and the boy's shaft and nutsac. He pulled back after several sensual grinds, blushing sharp pink along all the insides of his ears and shivering... still sniffling a bit. God, this was so hot... Caleb's paw was stuffed into his own unzipped pants by now, stroking himself shamelessly as he watched Sasha playing with his own trembling body.

Sasha's school shirt was a bit damp along the front of it where his pre-cum had gotten soaked in, and in back, it didn't do much to cover his bare asscheeks. Those bunny buns came more into view again when the boy moved away from the locker and straddled the metal bench, facing away from Caleb with his ass raised slightly, letting the wolf boy see the plump cheeks jiggling a little and get a few glimpses of the bunny's black fleshed pucker. Sasha's ears hanged down on either side, swaying back and forth a little now as the boy rolled his cock and nuts back and forth in the paw cupping them up between his thighs. "Ohhh... yess... yess..." Sasha moaned, then clenched his eyes tighter and started to howl softly. Caleb was about to explode... He backed away from the erotic view, nearly stumbling and falling on his ass. With Sasha's sexual imagery out of sight, the wolf boy was able to calm down just enough to take his trembling paw out of his pants, though he was already a bit webbed up with pre-cum himself. He blushed hard as he heard Sasha's moaning turn orgasmic in nature, panting and wiping his paw off on his tail a bit as he approached the locker room door. "Ohh... gosh... what was that..." Caleb said to himself softly, trying to relax as much as he could and bring his erection back down. He did his best not to listen to Sasha's moans, getting himself back under control before slipping back outside with his two buddies.

About fifteen minutes later, Sasha emerged from the locker room, blushing a lot and holding his backpack in front of him. Caleb wriggled his nose involuntarily in Sasha's direction. The bunny boy's scent had gotten a lot more musky. He wasn't sniffling anymore, and seemed mildly pleased with himself.

Caleb blushed a little again himself. "Okay, uhh... your parents are still at the seventh grade classroom, right?"

Sasha smiled warmly to Caleb and nodded silently, waiting for the other three boys to take the lead.

As Caleb and Rory walked out in front, Rory flicked his ears about curiously and nudged Caleb on his side, "Are... you sure he's okay?" the younger leopard boy asked.

Caleb flicked his ears down a bit, trying not to blush any more as he nodded to Rory, "Ohh... uh, yes. Don't worry, he's fine."

~

Hours had passed since the end of that first school day, but Caleb's mind was not on school anymore. He wasn't thinking about his friends or his classmates now. Even Sasha was only barely on his mind. He was sitting, alone, on a cold examination table in a windowless room, deep underground. He sighed to himself, hugging his arms a bit around his own body. As always, he had stripped naked in preparation for his examination, and it got cold down here sometimes. He wondered silently to himself just what kind of tests they would want to run, today.

Just then, the door to the examination room slid open with a whuush, and in stepped a tall female brown wolf, wearing a pair of bookish glasses and a lab coat. She smiled at the naked wolf boy in a warm, gentle manner and padded over to the side of the table where he was seated, putting down her note pad and pencil. "How are you feeling today, Caleb?" As she spoke, she lifted her left paw over the boy's head and pet along his ears in an affectionate, almost motherly manner.

Caleb blushed slightly and lowered his ears a bit, looking down over his nose. "I'm... uhh, doing fine Naria."

Naria ruffled the boy's headfur a little before stepping around the table and bending over in front of the large machine at his side, gathering up a large number of electrodes in her paws. "Are you sure, Caleb? I heard you got into a bit of a scrap at school... You seem physically intact... but if you suffered any psychological harm, we should record and evaluate that before beginning. You know well by now, we need you to be focused 100% to avoid any... err... tragic mistakes," she reminded him, while leaning over his nude form and beginning to attach the electrodes to his body.

Caleb still had a bit of a hard time sitting still and being totally calm when Naria was tending to him like this. He often would blush and become slightly aroused, though it was hard not to when his bare body was being touched and prodded like that. Somehow, though, the wolfess scientist managed to keep her composure at all times, and although he wasn't her son, she seemed to look after him almost as if he was.

"Honest... I'm alright, Naria. It was just, well... a small fight with some bullies. They got punished, so it's fine now." Caleb tried to look as happy as he could for her, though he couldn't help sighing a little as he turned his thoughts briefly back to Sasha and the days' events. Meanwhile, Naria nodded and didn't press further, typing at a nearby keyboard as she began running the pre-interface tests. A grouping of computers positioned to the side of the examination table beeped and blooped, and a series of flat screen monitors above head displayed various technical data and read-outs of different aspects of Caleb's physiology.

"Alright. Everything appears to be within acceptable parameters," Naria nodded, patting Caleb on his back reassuringly and then reaching for her note pad to make a few notations. Afterward, she padded over to a green case sitting atop a counter on the far wall, removing a translucent green pill from within, before returning to Caleb's side. "We decided to up the dosage this time. This should better suppress the pain when you interface with the crystal."

Caleb nodded silently, accepting the pill in his open paw as Naria retrieved a glass of water for him. He examined the pill briefly. It looked similar to what he was given every other time, only just bigger. When the wolfess returned with the water, he smiled faintly up to her and said, "Thank you, Naria..." Then, without another thought, the boy popped the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with a quick swig of water.

Naria smiled back again, removing the electrodes once Caleb had finished with the pill. Then she helped him off the table onto his feet, holding his paw and leading him back to the door, "Good boy. Now, let's proceed to the interface room. Your father is waiting..."
