Chapter 55

Sanctuary

Egad's Castle...

8:00 PM...

Alak watched as the Audi went through the walled gates into the castle's grounds. He could tell Anthony was anxious from the way his lover kept fidgeting in his seat. Mick then drove the Audi around the side of the castle to a covered parking area converted from an old animal stable. Standing there waiting was a fox dressed in casual clothes consisting of a long-sleeved sweater with a zip-up neck section and blue denim pants. At his side was another fox in some tan pantsand a tie-die shirt with a jacket, and around them were three wolves of varying height, two with horns on their heads all dressed in skimpy outfits with manacles on their wrists and ankles, as well as collars. Though the wolves appeared like slaves, like ones Cailus kept apart from them having clothing, they didn't appear broken and depressed. In fact, the light in their eyes expressed content and happiness.

Mick parked the car, shut off the engine, and got out of the car. Anthony and Alak followed suit as the other fox in the sweater walked up to them, revealing his ruby-red eyes. "Mick, I'm happy and relieved that you got back here safely. Xen informed me of the situation that happened on your job, as well as the situation of these young men."

"Yep." Mick said. "The Fox-Doberman hybrid Is the one who claims to be Cailus' son."

Anthony, though tense, gathered the courage to speak. "Are you Ryan Foxmoore?"

"Yes, I am," The Fox said. "Some around this Castle however, mainly my subjects, refer to me by the name Egad Nob, or just Master. It's nice to finally meet you, Anthony. After all this time, I thought your existence was only conspiracy theories made up by my brother's associates to throw me off. Since Cailus considers you his son, I guess that makes me your uncle."

Alak took a side glance at Anthony. "...This is new."

"Well, we had better get inside. It's getting dark in a few minutes." Egad said. "Plus, you and Alak still need some clothes, if you wish to keep your modesty. I have a good selection and variety of things you can wear."

"Uh... I hope it's not too much to ask, Uncle... But could we get a bath first?" Anthony asked, timid. "After being in that duffel bag, tied to each other, eventually ending up in Mick's car trunk, me and Alak got very... Saturated with perspiration, and we do not want to offend by smelling bad."

Egad nodded. "I understand. I will leave that choice up to you, as we are all going to have a group bath soon. You and Alak are welcome to join, as long as you are not offended by other men in sensual situations."

Alak chuckled. "Actually, both of us are bisexual. Though we both lean towards the male side of things if that helps."

Anthony giggled, looking at Alak with a slight blush. "True. Me and Alak are lovers, so it's no big deal."

Egad nodded. "That is good to hear. I'm also glad that you have managed to find someone to love you, and that he gives love back in return."

Anthony nodded. "Thank you, Uncle. If it is okay, could me and Alak have some time to ourselves before the bath?"

Again, Egad nodded. "It's perfectly fine. The bath house has been getting cleaned and sterilized today by the cleaning drones right now and won't be done for another hour. Zarch and his sons will show you to a guest bedroom in the castle where you can both stay and will come to fetch you when the bath house is ready."

Anthony bowed, then shook Egad's hand gratefully. "Thank you, Uncle... Thank you so much."

Egad's phone then rang. He fished the phone out of his pocket, looking at the screen. It was a private caller, with no number displayed.

"Do you mind if I answer that, Uncle?" Mick asked. "I have a gut feeling I know who it is."

"By all means." Egad said, handing Mick the phone. "Anthony, Alak, I implore that you stay quiet during this call." Both boys nodded, silent as statues.

Mick answered the phone on speaker, using a voice that was a gravellier variant of his impersonation of his father. "Ryan Foxmoore's phone, Butler speaking?"

"Give the phone to my goddamn bastard brother! NOW!" Cailus shouted on the other end, clearly enraged.

Mick rolled his eyes in irritation, keeping up his vocal facade. "He's in his chambers right now, let me see if he is available. May I ask who is calling?"

"THAT IS SELF-EXPLANATORY, YOU TWIT-BRAINED FAGGOT!!! GIVE THE PHONE TO_RYAN THIS INSTANT!!!!!_" Cailus' roaring demand sounded like it could bring down whatever building he was in with his voice octaves alone!

"One moment, please." Mick muted the phone's mic. After making sure Cailus couldn't hear them, Mick burst out in hysterical laughter as he handed Egad the phone.

"Oh my god! Seriously, Uncle! No offense, but... Your brother really needs to take some intense anger management classes." Mick said in his regular tone.

Egad sighed in sad frustration. "To be bluntly honest, I'm surprised he has lived this long without someone trying to take a hit out on him." Mick quickly reined-in his laughter, then Egad unmuted the phone's mic. "Yes, Cailus? What is it now?"

"I don't know how you found out that I was having my ungrateful retard of a son and his slutty lifeguard boyfriend taken to Chad, but I am only going to say this once, Ryan!" Cailus snarled. "Keep your nose, and whatever mercenaries you hired for that out of my future affairs!!"

Anthony and Alak struggled to keep in check, holding their tongues with gritty-toothed glares at the phone as Egad responded. "Cailus, what are you ranting on about now, that you are blaming me for?"

"You_intercepted_ the transporter I hired!!!" Cailus' tone was not just filled with knives. At this point, it was full-on metal-bladed javelins! "Whoever you had tasked with that not only took my son, but they also put that driver in the hospital!!" Cailus then started to give a short, crazy laugh. "Honestly, Ryan... I never knew you could be that devious, that you could be such a cold-blooded back knifer... I guess we do have something in common, after all!"

Egad maintained his cool with a grin. "Really? Someone intercepted a transporter in you employ, and you think it was me? Well... Maybe I didn't do it, maybe I did. Maybe I did do it, maybe I didn't. I'm not going to admit to anything, though. Especially since I have a strong hunch that this conversation is being recorded. All I will say though, is that I'm afraid with all that has happened, including the events between us where you 'locked me up' so to speak, as well as the actions you took afterwards, you have basically proven the exact opposite of that last statement, Cailus. Which I will list off said actions right now, due to who I think is taping this, which you should be completely ashamed of: Multiple degrees of kidnapping, torture that makes the lawless Lambda-Hyperbius pirate systems look like a slap on the wrist, including the complete and utter disregard of the Owl Head Cloud Nebula Accords by using not only high-voltage shock equipment on living, sentient beings to enforce compliance, but also by implanting unwilling individuals with bio-neural remote-control influence and suggestion microchips, as well as using bands of assassins, hired mercenaries and privateers to carry out attempted murder via chasing one or more individuals in motor vehicles on public roads, while firing at them with both energy and solid-shell projectile weapons with intent to kill, as well as high-powered missile strikes on private residences and small businesses, along with ordering some of said assassins, mercenaries, and privateers to go so far as carry out acts of public execution and grand theft auto, as well as the constant threats and harassment you put me through. We have nothing in common, Cailus, and after everything that has transpired, I doubt we ever will. You and that unfortunate transporter have my sympathies, though, and I hope you can get to the bottom of whoever did this, eventually. I also hope that you will consider this as a sign to change your ways. Now, I'm afraid I must go, for I have pressing matters to attend to before unwinding for the evening with a nice, relaxing bath. Good day." Egad then hung up the phone and shut it off.

"_De-nied!_Ha-ha!" Mick gave Egad two thumbs up with a praising smile. "You handled that with class, grace, and an epic amount of kick-ass attitude! Well done, Uncle!"

"Mick, I understand that after all Cailus has done that you find pleasure in this, but please... Don't gloat." Egad said firmly. "Even with Cailus being the crazy, broken, and fallen individual that he is, he is still my brother, and still family. That will remain true, regardless if he chooses to change his ways or not... I can only hope that someday, he will choose to embrace that change."

Mick, stunned after a few seconds by Egad's words, quickly reined in his enthusiastic satisfaction. Anthony walked up and hugged Egad, realizing how deep those words went, as well as their meaning. "I hope he will change as well, Uncle... We can only hope..."

Zarch showed Anthony and Alak to one of the guest bedrooms. It was furnished with a desk, king-sized bed with a nightstand, a couch, and a vanity. There was also a large window that could open and close, covered with drapes that showed a nice view of the forest and countryside.

"Here you are, sirs." Zarch said, letting them walk in. "You both will be sleeping in this room while you are staying here. I will come to fetch you both when the bath house Is ready. After the bath, Master will take both of you up to his chambers, where he will help you both dress for the night."

"Thank you, Zarch." Anthony said.

"You are most welcome, Master Anthony. Let me or anyone else in the Elite Gallery know if you need anything." Zarch bowed, then shut the door quietly behind him as he left.

Anthony then looked over at Alak. Both stood still, looking into each other's eyes with relief, worry, and pain.

Anthony finally ran up into Alak's arms, the shark welcoming him as he pulled the Fox-Doberman hybrid into an embrace, tucking his head underneath his Amphibious Great-White chin.

"...I'm sorry, Alak. I'm so sorry." Anthony quietly sobbed, starting to weep from guilt. "Letting you come with me to confront my father was a bad idea, it put you into too much danger-"

"Anthony, it's alright." Alak cooed in reassurance, rubbing the back of Anthony's head. "I knew all the risks I was taking from what you told me, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if I had to. I wasn't going to leave you alone with him, because I was afraid of what he would do. But I promise, we will find a way to get through this, my love... Just try to relax and remember the fact that we are both safe now. I love you so much, and I will never allow Cailus, nor anyone else associated with him, to hurt you ever again." Alak gave Anthony a kiss on the forehead.

Anthony calmed down, tucking his head in against Alak's chest. Finally, after a few minutes he pulled slightly away, both looking into each other's eyes once more.

"Despite being a shark, I've always admired that you are warm-blooded..." Anthony cooed. "Alak, you are always so nice and warm... I've always loved it when you have held me close like this. Though it is making me very lusty right now..." Alak felt Anthony's bulge press against his body, feeling the twitches of the flesh underneath. "...I need you right now, Alak."

"As do I, Anthony." Alak said, feeling his own bulge flare up in pleasure. Alak then swept Anthony off his feet and brought him over to the bed. He laid Anthony down, joining him on the bed right away. They both eagerly pulled their undergarments off each other, leaving each other exposed. Anthony's 11-inch cock was throbbing with need, as were Alak's pair of two 12-inch shark dicks, both leaking out steady streams of pre. They quickly kissed, Anthony rolling over on top of Alak. Then, they broke the kiss, Anthony sitting up. He then straddled Alak, bringing one of his shark cocks to his tailhole, and after sliding that into himself, gripped the other shark cock in a tight fist. Alak gripped Anthony by the thighs tightly, keeping his lover planted as Anthony started riding the shark for all he was worth, getting up to a very high speed and pace right off the bat as both let out loud cries, moans, and mewls of pleasure, Anthony jerking Alak's second cock as he rode his lover.

They eventually passed out after bringing each other to two consecutive orgasms after fifteen minutes of intense rut, each release lasting one rapturous minute...
