Netherhiem 10
At the S.H.A.
It has been almost a week since Lance's outburst.
He was now being led to a meeting room for the superiors by two guards.
All the time he was looking at the ground, worried about not what they will do to him, but what they will do to Rudolph if his outburst caused any suspicions with the owners of the organization.
They arrived at a couple of wide doors.
They opened to reveal a spacious room holding many important looking people, sitting around an oval shaped table.
The whole wall behind them was a glass wall overlooking the city.
Their leader, a lion, sat with an almost blank expression, but a faint smile is barely visible on his face at the head of the table.
He signaled the guards to leave.
That left Lance with the others alone on the room.
The lion leaned on the table, holding himself with his elbows, "So Lance, I heard you got into a fight, and that it was you who started it. That's a first, both of them are"
Lance remained silent.
One of those sitting on the right, a slightly chubby grey cat scoffed "Told he is a trouble maker, he should be fired in an instant"
A female raven facing the cat glared at him with uninterested eyes, "Then maybe we should fire your son as well"
"What!?"
"He was branded as a trouble maker even before Lance here even joined" she tapped her beak a little, "I believe that he was one of the two he Mr. Burton here assaulted, under provocation I'm sure"
The cat began grinding his teeth, fuming silently for now.
The others began murmuring among themselves.
The lion cleared his throat loudly, getting everyone's attention, "Mr. Burton. Since you are a great hero and one of the symbols of this city, and taking in consideration that this was your first offence in the job, we will be a little lenient on you" he cleared his throat this time softly, "You will keep working with us, but with no monthly wage for 3 months, and if you decide to take overtime you will receive minimum wage, we can't have you going broke for 3 months"
"Thank you sir" Lance bowed slightly.
Just as he was leaving, "And Mr. Burton" Lance turned back, "Next time it would be better for everyone if you keep your emotions under control"
Lance stiffened in his place.
"We know that he means a lot to you, to a point past friendship, but that is not for us to pry into. What I want to say is: your emotions are better kept at home, that's why we have those rules, just so that what happened last week, doesn't happened again"
Lance's ears pulled back on his head, "I'm sorry, I understand sir"
"As long as you do, everything is going to be okay"
Lance left the room closing the door, the cat scoffing again, "Faggot"
"Mr. Stones, I believe your son is next on the list of those we have to deal with today" the lion said calmly.
"What!?"
"He has been causing more trouble than he is worth for a while" he was looking at a few papers in his hand as he spoke, "I'm sorry to say this, but will have to suspend him"
"What!? You can't do that" he was fuming more openly now "Why is that queer allowed to keep working here while my son who was clearly the victim here is suspended!?"
A rat sitting beside the raven spoke for the first time in this meeting, "It's because although Mr. Burton was the one to strike first, his heart was doing it for the right reasons, despite him being blinded by rage, while your son began acting like a god or some kind of holy deity the moment he stepped through our doors"
"Well my son is a genius who has the right to act the way he wants, so it's none of your business rat"
"OH. So you want to bring species into this? Huh, you oversized hairball?"
"Say that again! I dare you, you sewer rodent!!"
And the two continued their name calling contest with the others trying to calm them down.
The lion simply turned with his chair to the city below them, blocking the childish tantrum of both his co-owners out.
He peeked over the papers on his face, to see a white, pink and gold limo parking in front of the building.
In his office, Lance laid his face in his arms, both him and Rudolph got off that easily somehow, but just as the lion said, he has to be careful next time.
Just then his intercom blared out, "Yes?"
"Mr. Burton, there is someone here to see you" it was a call from the reception.
He lifted his head, a few damp areas were visible under his eyes, "Tell them I'm busy"
"Sir, he says: says he is a Loneblood"
That picked his interest. Could have Hydrus finally agreed to help him? "Send him in"
Just then his secretary walked in, "Sir?"
"Amy, a Loneblood is coming here"
"Really, has Mr. Loneblood finally agreed to help?"
"Don't know yet, let's hope he did"
A few minutes later, the visitor arrived at the office.
Lance began analyzing the guy. he looked like Hydrus, but he was slimmer and a little shorter, he was wearing a long black and purple coat, with fake black feathers lining the collar of the coat, and a pair of tight jeans, along with pink sunglasses with small circular lenses.
But what picked both his and Amy's interest was the guy who accompanied him.
It was a beagle, taller and more built than the short male, he was wearing a speedo with dress cuffs and a black collar with a leash, which was held by the other guy.
Amy reluctantly stepped forward and held out her hand, "Good afternoon Mr. Loneblood. Glad to have you visit us"
The who returned the hand shake however, was the beagle, "A pleasure to be here ma'am"
The shorter human walked forward, opening a black and purple fan, and sat at the chair in front of Lance's desk without a word.
Amy was getting confused, "Mr. Loneblood?"
"It's not him" Amy looked at Lance with even more confusion.
Lance kept staring at the shorter Loneblood, suspiciously, taking in his slim, almost feminine figure, "He's not Hydrus Loneblood"
The human smiled behind his fan, taking off his pink sun glasses, "Bravo Mr. Burton, not many people can tell the difference between me and my little brother"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Fortunus Loneblood, and I'm here to help you"
"With what?"
"Why with your boyfriend of course"
Lance sat there wide eyed, unable to find the right words.
"I don't have the power or knowledge to help him, but I know of a way to get the person who can, to help"
"That's awesome, isn't it Mr. Burton?"
Lance sat there, still glaring suspiciously, "What's the catch?"
Fortunus' smile widened even more, "There is something I want you to do for me" His eyes lifted to the ceiling for a moment, "Actually. It's something for both me and Hydrus"
Lance looked at his hands on the desk, considering what this guy wanted, Lance could not only lose his job, but everything he worked for as well, but if he really can get Hydrus to help....
"What do you want of me?"
Fortunus began grinning, "Now you're getting it"
At the W.A cafeteria.
Nobu was sitting on a table beside the window overlooking a spacious park behind them.
He was looking out thinking of the lovely night he and Toby confessed to each other their feelings.
Ever since then, Toby's progress increased rapidly, now able to go a whole hour and a half without his gloves, and began fighting Nobu on equal footing.
Nobu even suggested they stay in one room.
As Toby found out, that the dorms have a few rooms specially built for couples, which resembled the other rooms in shape and design, but was slightly bigger in size.
"What are you thinking about?"
Nobu woke up from his trip down memory lane, and looked up to find the kid who stole his heart the first moment he laid eyes on him.
"Nothing sweetheart, just remembering our first few nights together"
Toby sat with his tray of food, "Yeah. Although there has been something bothering me"
"What is that love?" Nobu began to panic silently.
"Weelll...." Toby gave a side glance behind him.
Nobu looked over Toby, at a desk sitting a distance behind them.
The table held a few girls of various species, some were giving them, or Toby to be more precise, a hateful glare.
Nobu knew the owners of the table, they were members of team Maiden Divas. A girl only team formed with Hydrus' permission.
The W.A allowed the personal forming of teams, but the members must be approved by the branch leader, in the Fenrir branch's case: Hydrus.
Nobu and a few other members of the branch began calling those girls the Snow Queens.
Ever since they formed the team, the girls began thinking of themselves as real queens, scoffing at everyone they come across, it doesn't help that most of them come from wealthy families.
Their leader: Rose Diamonds, also known as: Madam Flora, glared at Toby harder than the rest of her team.
Toby sank in his chair.
Nobu glared at them for a while before giving Toby a soft smile, he knew Rose, since she has been nagging him to be her boyfriend, even when he told her that he preferred guys, she began trying to manipulate him into becoming straight.
Till one time, he just blew up at her, telling her that he didn't love her, never thought of loving her, even began calling her a royal slut who just wanted a big dick up her sloppy cunt and nothing more.
The biggest embarrassment to her that they were in a place full of employees of the branch.
She probably took someone yelling at her the hardest more than being called all those names.
Nobu grabbed Toby's chin in his fingers, lifting his face and planting a deep kiss onto his lips.
Toby melted in his place in an instant, until he heard hollering and wolf whistling around them.
But what surprised Toby was those didn't even have a hint of ridicule or sarcasm.
They were all sounds of congratulations and approval.
He then began getting even more into the kiss, until Nobu broke it, they remained looking at each other with nothing but love.
A few began gathering around them congratulating Toby on hooking with the big jackal, since one even told him that Nobu was hard to impress.
His happiness was indescribable, finally a place where he can be himself and not be ridiculed or bullied.
All that is left now: is to report the news to his parents, which he is sure will be awkward.
At the Loneblood residence.
Hydrus was looking over some papers, his secretary: Simon forcing him to work from home for a while, a visit to the doctor told him that his working habit will cause his heart condition to worsen.
Lex came into his office with a tray of coffee, "How are you feeling?"
Hydrus looked up at him with a smile, "Yeah I'm fine" He rubbed his eyes a little however, "My heart doesn't hurt at least"
Lex looked at the papers laying at Hydrus' desk. He released a deep sigh, "I know that you want to help others like this, but you should also take your own health into consideration"
"I know"
"No you don't" Lex called for Sylvester at that moment.
The wolf arrived a few seconds later, "You called for me master Lex?"
"Yes" the big saur then pointed silently at Hydrus' papers, Sylvester nodding he began collecting them.
"Hey, hey I wasn't done with those" Hydrus tried getting them back, but was held by Lex.
The big rex then suddenly planted his huge maw over Hydrus' lips in a deep kiss.
Hydrus began thrashing a little, trying to break free, but unable to for some reason.
He then began to calm down, getting more and more into the lip lock, until all his resistance ceased.
When Lex let go of the kiss, Hydrus remained silent for a moment giving a glance towards Sylvester and the files he was holding.
*sigh* "Fine, take them for now, but keep them close and available for immediate look through"
Sylvester bowed to his master's orders, putting them in a folder and into one of the desk drawers.
He gave a last bow to the two before leaving them alone.
Lex held Hydrus softly, "You have to take more care of yourself sweetheart, I- we get that you're an immortal, but still"
"I know hun, I know. But I just don't want people to go through what I did"
Hydrus sat back at his chair, with Lex sitting on the desk facing him
Lex then put both his feet on Hydrus' thighs, their no shoes in the house policy saved Hydrus' clothes from dry cleaning.
"My powers awoke at an early age, which is, according to my great gran: shouldn't happen, I almost killed one of my uncles, really kill him, but luckily great gran sealed my powers at the last moment, and didn't remove the seal until I got more control over them, and that stretched to a few years beyond my puberty"
He grabbed one of Lex's feet, holding it in both hands, massaging it softly, electing a light moan from the big t-rex.
"That is why I want to help those born with powers, so that they don't hurt anyone dear to them" He then gave the soles a long slow lick, receiving a giggle from Lex.
Hydrus released one hand, only to grab the other foot with it, interlocking his fingers with those big toes, massaging them in such manner.
He began licking the other foot, taking the big toe in his mouth.
All this attention got Lex going, he was now moaning louder, biting on a finger to keep from actually screaming with pleasure.
Lex then put a hand on Hydrus' head pushing him away lightly, "Wait, wait" He was panting from all the excitement, "Didn't want to go early, you certainly got better at this"
"Thanks to your teachings"
Hydrus began remembering their first few dates. When they began having sex, Lex was actually the one who introduced Hydrus to kinks and fetishes, and found the boy to be quiet the versatile character. And that is how Hydrus found his love to the different dimensions of bondage and leather, 'specially S&M plays.
"Well too bad we can't do this now" Lex got off the desk kissing Hydrus softly on the head, "I need to visit an old friend of mine in a few minutes"
Hydrus gave him a suspicious stare, "Oh don't look at me like that, she is just an old friend who helped me a lot during highschool"
This time he kissed Hydrus hard again, but briefly before pulling back, suddenly grabbing and pulling Hydrus by his shirt collar "But when I get back, I better find you ready for another sleepless night. My pet"
Hydrus blushed lightly, "Yes, of course. Master"
Lex let out a huff of approval and gave him a wink before leaving.
This was another play between them, when he is with Lex, he becomes the pet instead of the master, although Lex is the bottom of their relationship, he is still the one in charge.
Something that Hydrus doesn't mind one bit.
Hydrus leaned back on his chair, crossing his fingers in his stomach, looking up at a painting on the ceiling.
It was a portrait of two dragons, flying in the middle of both a dark and bright sky, one dragon was golden in scales, the other was made from complete darkness.
He remembers that this was painted when he was young and the black dragon was supposed to represent him, but he couldn't remember who the other dragon was supposed to be.
"Maybe I do need a few days off"
At Eizeldarm in the Overlord's castle.
The Overlord was sitting on his throne looking quite bored out of his mind, is not troubled.
Despite having many slaves worshipping his body from top to bottom.
Then his adviser- Adver came into the room, "Your Excellency"
He looked at the wingless bird demon, "What?"
"Your heir is here and wishes to see"
That brightened his mood instantly, "Then why is waiting outside? Let him in already"
As Adver went out to fulfill his orders, the Overlord stood from his place, tugging on the leash of one of his servants, a blonde human, to follow him.
As they neared the entrance, the Overlord-Lockius could already feel the energy Hydrus was giving off.
Ever since he was young, Lockius could see potential in the young beast, once he learned to control his powers, he was a force to be reckoned with, putting many adults including those in his family to shame. Naming him the heir of the Overlord throne instantly.
When they saw each other, Hydrus jogged to his great grandfather hugging him tightly.
It was a gesture that always seemed to reduce Lockius to tears, but he manages to hold them back.
When Hydrus released the hug, he bowed slightly, "Hello great gran"
"Hello my child. How is my little heir doing?"
"Not much, just being forced to work from home for a while" Hydrus pouted a little.
"Well your mates told us of your condition years ago, so despite being an immortal, all of us have a right to be worried about you. We are your family"
"I know"
Then Lockius gave him wide smile, "You know. You coming over gave me the perfect idea about this year's festival"
For some reason there was something eating at Hydrus at this statement, 'And that is?"
"First we will make this something that will happen every year to come"
It's coming closer.
"And every year a different continent will host the festival"
Wait for it......
"And the first year...It will be the Hive who will host"
*CRASH* There we go.................wait what!?
"WWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTTTT!?"
Hydrus' voices echoed for many miles around them.
Everyone held their ears closed.
"Great gran. With all due respect, but ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?"
Despite that outburst, Lockius still held that childish smile, "It's perfect. The first step in bringing all Netherbeasts even more closer to each other"
"I know you want to do that, but do you know how many beasts hate the Hive?"
"Hmmmm, a hundred?"
"ALL OF THEM" Hydrus released a primal growl, "Having the Hive host the most event of the year will be disastrous. It's a mistake"
"Well we want know until we try" Still that childish expression.
"I....we..you- we're" Hydrus stuttered for a good few seconds, before letting out a sigh of defeat, "I give up"
"Yay!! Then I will make my way to Syokarr and deliver them the great news"
Hydrus watched his great grandfather almost skipping away, he then rubbed his eyes with an irritated sigh, "I need to lie down"
At Lex's friend's house.
Lex has just arrived, and knocked on the door, a female panther answered the door.
"Oh Lexy, how are you?"
"I'm doing good Liala, and you?"
"Oh I'm good as well, sorry again for not being at your wedding, I hope that the guy your living with is treating you right"
"Oh don't worry. He is treating me more than right" He smiled, feeling pride welling inside him to be called Hydrus' mate.
"Although I remember people saying he has multiple husbands. Are there others besides you?"
"There are yes, but all of them are decent guys, so I don't mind"
"Well if you say so" Her ears perked slightly, "Which reminds me, have you met my boyfriend?" She said with a hint of mischief.
"No you never told me you had one" He was shocked but happy for her.
She went over to the stairs, "Honey, our guest is here. Come down and say hello"
"Coming dear" Lex watched her going into the kitchen, to prepare dinner. But something was telling Lex that the voice was familiar.
He waited alone for a few minutes until the boyfriend came down, "Sorry if I kept you waiting long"
"No problem my friend" Lex then looked back at the owner of the deep voice, only for both him and the guy to stare at each other with shock.
The guy was a white tiger wearing shirt that was a few sizes smaller than him and a pair of jean shorts.
"Hudson?" Lex said softly.
"Lex?" Hudson mimicked.
Lex got up fast, "I-I-I better go" He walked fast towards the door.
Laila peeked from the kitchen, "Hey where are you going? We still didn't have dinner"
"I'm sorry I just remembered I promised Hydrus something. I promise I'll make it up to you"
He got into his car and instantly drove away.
Laila turned to Hudson, with shock and confusion both mixing on her face, "Did you say something to him?"
Hudson just shook his head in the negative.
At the Loneblood residence.
Hydrus sat at his garden, hoping for the scenery to calm him down.
He knew that his gr. gran was an idiot sometimes, but this?
He knew that the festival this year will be a disaster.
The intercom beeped, "Sir, Mr. Star Bolt is here to see you"
What does he want now? "Send him in"
A few minutes later, Star Bolt was standing in front of him, "Mr. Loneblood"
"Star Bolt" Hydrus really didn't want to deal with this guy for now.
"Look, I know that I'm someone you don't prefer to talk to. But I came here again, begging you to help my boyfriend"
Hydrus perked his ears at that, "Boyfriend? Thought you people were just a bunch of tight-asses who didn't know the meaning of love"
Star Bolt held his tongue, and just pulled something from his pockets.
Placing the object on the table, Hydrus saw that it was a small data drive, but one of those that held large terras of data no matter the size.
"This is?" Hydrus began eyeing him suspiciously.
"Information regarding everything the S.H.A knows about anything. Names, powers of our heroes/heroines, operations, projects and many more" Star Bolt was panicking when he copied all this, but when he remembered Fortunus' words and who he was doing all this for he calmed don instantly.
He remembers the Lust Loneblood's words, "Hydrus respects all kinds of power, one of them being knowledge. You give him something worthwhile, he will reward you with something fitting of what you give him.
So if you want him to save you boyfriend, then you better give him something spectacular"
Lance racked his brain for something worthy, but could only think of the data his position had access to. The very secrets of the S.H.A.
"And to prove my intentions" Lance began, then suddenly pulled his mask off, giving Hydrus a full view of his face and features.
Hydrus still remained silent, but glancing back and forth between Lance and the drive.
"Please Loneblood, I tried everything, asked everyone to help, but you are the only person left, your are the last one who can help" He sank to the ground slowly, kneeling on his knees, before putting his snout to the floor, his eyes fogging with tears, his voice cracking slightly, "I beg of you, I will do anything. Give up my powers, resign from my job, anything you want me to do, but please: save the one I love"
Hydrus took the data drive in his hands regarding it softly.
Lance still had his face to the ground, sobbing softly.
He suddenly heard a cracking sound.
He lifted his head and saw the data drive crushed in Hydrus' hands.
He was looking back and forth between Hydrus and the now lost copies of every kind of secret and scandal that could reach up to billions in the black market.
Hydrus suddenly then stood up and making his way out of the garden, stopping midway, "Bring your boyfriend here tomorrow. I'll hopefully have everything I need to help him"
Lance was now smiling, but tears still streamed down his face, "Thank you, thank you so much"
"Looks like I misjudged you Star, risking not only your job, but also being punished for life, al to save the person you love, and that is something I can respect"
Lance got up and followed him out of the house, saying thank you all the way.
A few minutes later, Lex came back and went to his room directly.
He sat on his bed, holding his knees with a blank look on his face.
"You know you look cute like this" He turned to the owner of the voice and found Hydrus leaning on the door frame.
Hydrus made his way and sat besides Lex, "Something happened?"
"No. Just saw someone I didn't want to"
Hydrus then hugged Lex tight before letting him go, "Then how about I let you forget?"
Lex turned to Hydrus as he began taking off his clothes, slowly as if doing a strip tease.
As he was looking, he began to smile and uncurl from himself. His shorts slightly tenting up.
When Hydrus finished undressing, Lex's cock almost sprung up.
Hydrus was wearing a white full body harness, complete with arm, wrist and ankle braces.
But what turned Lex on more: was the white leather collar strapped snuggly around Hydrus' neck.
Lex got up and walked over to Hydrus, his own cock stretching the shorts forward, "Looking lovely my pet"
"Anything for you master" Hydrus loved being Lex's pet, something about his attitude or the way he can carry himself in any situation.
"Wait here. Master has to get ready first" Lex took a small bag from under his bed and went to the bathroom.
Hydrus sat on his knees, waiting anxiously for a rough night with Lex.
He began remembering there first times together, his cock growing to its full ten inches.
A few seconds later, Lex came out of the bathroom, looking smoking hot in Hydrus' opinion.
A black and blue trimmed bulldog harness, wrist, arm and ankle braces and black leather shorts also with blue trims.
As he walked to Hydrus, the latter began feeling his submissive side that doesn't appear to anyone but Lex, he doesn't become this submissive even when with his great grandfather.
Lex grabbed a blue leash strapping it to Hydrus' collar, but suddenly began looking at him with a frown.
"Something wrong sir?"
Lex rubbed his chin with his fingers, as if thinking, "Something is missing in this picture"
It then clicked in Hydrus' head.
He only took a few seconds to change to his Nether Form, standing slightly taller than Lex, by only an inch or two.
"There we go" Was Lex's approval.
Their maws suddenly mashed together, with their tongues wrestling violently.
Lex then broke the kiss, pushing Hydrus roughly on the bed sitting between his spread legs.
He stretched both his legs, putting both on Hydrus' face, the latter licking and sucking both toe by toe, and repeating.
Until Lex pulled one of them away, and putting it on the Beast's 14 inch pole. Rubbing it roughly almost stepping on it.
Hydrus was moaning loudly, suddenly feeling Lex's foot pushed into his mouth, almost reaching his heels.
But he didn't stop there, he began wriggling his toes near Hydrus' throat, causing him to gag a little. Lex loving this sound pushed his foot even more into Hydrus' throat, pulling it out then pushing in roughly as if face fucking him.
After a few minutes of this treatment, Lex pulled his foot out of Hydrus' throat slowly.
Hydrus was panting hard, coughing a few times due to the torment his throat had to endure.
Lex then put his spit soaked foot on Hydrus cock, lubing it up for what's to come.
After he was satisfied, Lex stood up from his place, turning around, offering his ass to Hydrus, the latter knowing what to do, instantly began licking, sucking and kissing at the tight hole in front of him.
Lex then did something that any normal person wouldn't do in a normal blowjob.
He bit into Hydrus cock slightly, causing him to jump briefly. Repeating the action a few times, Hydrus almost came, but managed to hold himself, allowing only some pre to escape.
After a minutes, Lex removed his ass from Hydrus' face, allowing him to breath.
Hydrus began panting from the rough treatment, "Please sir, please I want to cum. Please sir, I can't hold it anymore"
Lex gave him a wide fang filled grin, "You can put it in, but you can't come until I say so, got it!?"
"Sir please" *SLAP* "GOT IT!?" Hydrus could only nod silently.
Lex then lined Hydrus' cock to his entrance, just as the head fully entered *WHAM* Lex slammed his ass down on Hydrus' cock and hips, causing him to let out a brief howl, and Lex moaning loudly, "Now that's what I call a cock babe. FUCK" he could feel Hydru's meat pole bulging his stomach a little.
But he didn't stop there, he repeated this action until he found a rhythm, slamming his hips on Hydrus rough and hard, not even giving him a chance to breath.
Hydrus breathing and panting hard, simply holding onto Lex's thighs, before one hand went and grabbed the leash, electing another rough tug from Lex. He was barely holding his climax back, silently begging Lex to hurry up.
Lex grabbed his own foot long jacking himself hard and fast, "I'm getting close pet, when I cum, you better cum with me, or you will get a chastity punishment"
Hydrus only nodded, just wanting him to finish.
Both were now sweating hard, wetting the bed sheets beneath them, "Here I cum!!"
Upon releasing his own dense load, he coated Hydrus' face, chest and stomach with his heavy and thick cum, his hole tightening on Hydrus, strangling his cock, he released his full load into Lex.
He lost count after 6, but kept going, briefly noticing Lex's stomach pushing forward, growing slightly.
When both calmed down, Lex's grip on the leash loosened, giving Hydrus room to breathe, rubbing Lex's inflated stomach softly, "Looks like I gave you a baby" Lex looked down, noticing his stomach pushing out a little, he giggled a little, "Looks like you did babe"
Lex lifted himself up slowly, until Hydrus' large pole got out of his hole with a lewd 'pop', then laid down on Hydrus, both not having the strength to even get up and shower.
Hydrus put a hand around Lex, and the other behind his head, "Had fun 'sir'?"
Lex laughed a little, "Sure did 'pet'"
"I was going to ask you about your visit, but let's leave it for when you are ready to talk" Hydrus licked Lex's forehead.
"Why are you talking like you're going to bed?"
Hydrus stiffened, even when Lex straddled him again, with an evil look only Hydrus could muster, "Didn't I tell you to be prepared for a sleepless night"
Hydrus couldn't speak, the only sound he could muster was just a soft, squeaky, "eeep"
After a few seconds, their howls and roars could be heard throughout the house.
