This is recommended for reading as the posts alternate in color.)\n\nDespite being horrified and ashamed by his behavior, and simultaneously worried for Candace’s well-being, Jake couldn’t bring himself to make direct eye-contact. His ears hung low and burned hot with humiliation and fear. Just like before with his friend Alex, the poor buck had lost all control and given in to his instincts. He couldn’t believe himself. It had happened again, without any warning. Back then, the driving force that made him hurt the younger mouse was Omega himself. Although he wasn’t here now to cause it again, it seemed a mark had been left on Jake’s fragile psyche. Without even realizing it, he was subconsciously associating the act of mating with a struggle for power and domination.\n\nFrightened by his own actions and what it might mean, the young rabbit hugged himself tightly and shivered as he listened to the skunk nearby. She was sitting up again, but only managed two words before a knock on the door drew the attention of both cubs. Jake practically jumped out of his skin, especially upon realizing that Sid was on the other side of the door, asking if things were okay. Chills ran up and down his spine as the buck expected Candace to tell the opossum everything. He was so frightened by the prospect of making enemies of the two people who’d risked their own safety to save him, that he barely heard Candace as she assured the man nothing was wrong.\n\nBy the time Sid had returned to his seat to eat his burger, Jake was visibly trembling on the spot, legs folded beneath him and thighs pressed together tightly around his limp and retreating penis. He didn’t register the opossum’s departure until Candace suddenly came closer and wrapped an arm around him lovingly. The gesture ultimately helped to sooth some of his frayed nerves, but not before he jumped in response to that first touch. His skin was crawling for a while at first too as he listened quietly to the girl’s words.\n\nShe acknowledged her error in judgement, and seemed to shrug off the whole incident entirely, but Jake couldn’t help feeling upset with himself. He shouldn’t have let himself get carried away like that. It would’ve never happened if that awful wolf hadn’t tormented him by forcing him to hurt his only friend in this nightmare. If anything, it was all Omega’s fault. Because of Omega, Jake couldn’t trust himself anymore, and that made him angry. He hated that horrible beast, but amongst his furious thoughts towards the lupine monster, there was confusion and fear. There was still a chance that Omega would find out what happened, track him down and drag him, kicking and screaming, back to that place of hopeless despair and unimaginable pain.\n\nHe didn’t realize at first, but Jake had begun sobbing very softly under his breath, nuzzling into Candace’s embrace as he felt her lips meet the top of his head for a gentle kiss. She continued to speak, only now she was focused on assuring him he did okay, that she wasn’t hurt or afraid of him now like Alex had been. The skunk described the experience as ‘intense’, which made Jake blush deeply with embarrassment, but what really surprised him was when she bopped him lightly on his nose and promised to be better prepared…\n\n“N… next time?” Jake squeaked, eyes suddenly wide and body shivering. “I--I don’t--I don’t if I can--W-w-what if I--?”\n\n---\n\nCandice interrupted Jake’s understandable concern with another light tap on the nose.\n\n“Of course you can. As long as I’m properly prepared, you have nothing to worry about, cutie. You do have a wild side like I’ve never seen before, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. I can take it. I WANT to take it. Next time, I’ll be ready for it. Now come. Let’s go get you something to eat.”\n\nCandice gently and patiently helped Jake off of the bed, and into his new clothes before leading him into the living room, where Sid had just finished his burger, smiling and standing as the two left the bedroom, Candice still naked while Jake’s little body was covered with comfortable boy’s clothing.\n\n“Ah, Jake, I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you. How would you like to send a letter to your parents?”\n\n“Um..!”\n\nCandice’s voice showed obvious signs of worry as soon as Sid brought up what he expected would brighten Jake’s spirits immensely. Sid’s eyes narrowed at Candice’s barely contained outburst.\n\n“Something wrong, babe?”\n\n“Not.. well.. I.. I thought we were going to wait a little while longer before.. trying this, I mean.. Sh-shouldn’t we.. make sure it’s safe to..”\n\n“Nonsense, it’ll be perfectly fine. I think you need to rest a little. I know you need it.”\n\nCandice stood frozen in place for a moment, but nodded and slowly moved towards the bedroom, disappearing inside and closing the door without another word. Sid let out a light chuckle before producing a piece of blank paper and a pen.\n\n“I’m sure you’d like to let your parents know you’re okay and that you’ll be seeing them again soon, right?” Sid handed the paper and pen to the little rabbit before producing an envelope as well. “Oh, and when you’re done with your letter, go ahead and write down your address on this envelope, and we’ll make sure it gets to them.”\n\n---\n\nThe second bop to his nose not only halted his worried babbling, but made him sniffle with the forgotten tears welled up in his eyes. Candace offered more assurances, some of which made Jake blush even deeper, but ultimately they did little to lift his burden. He’d never been described as ‘wild’ in his life, so for the skunk to describe what happened as a peek into his ‘wild-side’, a growing sense of dread began to fester. If losing control like that and putting friends and family in danger was what Candace called his wild-side, then he never wanted to go there again.\n\nFortunately, the young skunk decided that they’d stop in favor of food, which Jake wasn’t about to argue. All that exertion had made him hungry again. Besides, he needed something to take his mind off what had just transpired.\n\nResponding to Candace with a softly spoken, “Okay,” Jake was more than eager to accept her assistance in getting off the bed such that he could keep his privates concealed until he was fully clothed again. The layer of protective fabric did well to brighten the buck’s mood once more, though he still felt sorry whenever he gazed upon Candace and her still naked form.\n\nOnce again feeling self-conscious about seeing someone else without clothes, Jake eventually gave up looking in the skunk’s direction at all as they returned to the living-room. The cub was hugging himself as if he were cold, but really it was just to give his arms somewhere to be other than at his sides. He felt more comfortable this way and it was evident in his posture as he followed Candace.\n\nSid was there to greet the pair, but the first words out of his mouth were in regards to something that surprised the rabbit greatly. Both ears shot up over his head at the very possibility of sending a letter to his parents. Already he was eager to formulate everything he wanted to say to them and get writing, but a sudden, startled noise from Candace drew Jake’s immediate attention. Despite himself, the buck looked straight up at the girl beside him, eyes wide and curious as he observed her facial expression following Sid’s news.\n\nTilting his head, Jake frowned. Sid had addressed the skunk and now she was stammering a response that was oddly relatable, even though he had no idea what exactly she meant. Why was she so worried about him writing a letter? Even after the opossum’s reassurance, she still looked concerned. Almost like there was something she knew that he didn’t, but he couldn’t place it.\n\nWhen Sid offered the suggestion that she was just tired, Jake’s attention shifted abruptly. That made perfect sense to him. He’d often been confused during that long week of torment, due to the fact he could barely sleep for fear Omega would return to molest him. Just thinking about it made him shudder and like that his attention shifted again, this time back to what he would write to his parents.\n\nWithout another word, Candace had departed and retreated back into the bedroom, leaving Jake to stand before Sid who merely chuckled at the girl’s odd behavior. What interested the young rabbit were the pen and paper now being offered to him. Eagerly, he accepted both items and was about to run to the couch to write on one of the TV trays when the opossum produced an envelope as well. Sid instructed him to write his address and the buck nodded.\n\n“Okay, I will,” he said, taking the envelope and moving at a pace surprisingly slower than usual thanks to his most recent injuries.\n\nThough he’d been sufficiently distracted for much of the time and had the opportunity to recover, when Jake reached the couch to sit and prepare his letter, old pains immediately flared up. The most notable ache was deep inside his body somewhere, the spot that perverted otter had repeatedly pummeled while he raped the then paralyzed cub. Pulsing along with it, however, was also the injury to his foot for where he’d viciously stomped on the disc-case containing the DVD of cubs being abused.\n\nThese injuries returned to the front of his mind and with them, all the traumatizing memories they were associated with. Ultimately it led to a very emotional letter wherein Jake described in as much detail as he could remember, all of the terrible events that had taken place. His subconscious naturally glossed over the worst of his personal experiences, dumbing many of them down to descriptions like “I got hurt really bad” or “The bad man punished me”.\n\nJake worked at the letter for the better part of an hour, asking for more paper on occasion and at one point inquiring to Sid about Candace. He wanted to know if she was okay and whether she was upset about something. When he got his answer, he wasn’t too happy, but he continued on to finish his letter with a page long spiel about how much he loved and missed his family and wanted to see them again so badly.\n\nHe was practically in tears by the end, but as he wrote the final words, “Love, Jake”, his despair eased off. Having vented all of his pent up frustrations on paper, the buck’s shoulders suddenly felt a little lighter. Just a quick wipe of each eyes was all he needed before moving on to the envelope. He’d filled out envelopes enough times in the past to remember which address went where, however after writing his full name and street number, he suddenly blanked on the rest. Jake couldn’t remember if it was Copper Crescent or Cutter Boulevard. It was a very vital piece of information, and he wanted to get it right.\n\nThinking about it long and hard, the boy filled in the rest of the information as best he could recall, though both his format and handwriting were sloppy. When he came back to the address and still wasn’t sure, he picked at random and chose Copper Crescent as it was the most familiar in his mind. Still, the buck was worried he might’ve made a mistake. He wanted his letter to have every possible chance of reaching his family, especially after all the effort he’d put into it. Almost nothing had been left out, as he’d hoped every little bit of information would help his parents and perhaps the police to one day arrest Omega and shut down his terrible business.\n\nWhen he was finally finished, Jake folded up each of his papers, one by one stuffing them into the envelope which he licked and sealed to ensure the safety of its contents. Only then did the rabbit climb to his feet again and pad over to Sid awkwardly. He stopped short and held up the stuffed envelope with a small smile.\n\n“All done, Mister Sid,” he said sweetly, biting his lip with just a hint of nervousness.\n\n---\n\nSid smiled as Jake quickly took the paper and almost immediately began writing the letter to his parents, surprised that Candice’s concerns didn’t make Jake nervous, at least not at first. He was all too eager to trust Sid with such sensitive information. It wasn’t long, however, that Candice’s outburst creeped its way into the front of the young buck’s mind.\n\n“She’ll be alright. I think she’s just not eager to let you go. She’d rather you stay with us for awhile longer, but she knows you can’t stay here. You don’t belong in such a place. You belong back home with your family.”\n\nJake didn’t seem too happy with the fact that Candice had made an attempt to delay his escape from the underground world he was stuck in, but as Sid took the completed letter and envelope from the boy, he gave him a quick pat and attempted to brush off the slight tension that Candice seemed to have caused.\n\n“Don’t worry about Candice, Jake. No matter how badly she wants you to stay with us, she knows what’s best for you. She just really seems to like you quite a lot.”\n\nSid made his way into the kitchen, placing the letter on the counter as he passed it, and opened a cabinet near the fridge.\n\n“Anyway, while Candice is resting, I can fix you up a little something to eat before bed. How about some hot noodles? Heh, it’s about the only meal I can prepare well that doesn’t have meat in it.”\n\nBefore Jake could answer, Sid was already taking a packet of noodles from the cabinet before filling a pot with water. As the water started to heat up on the stove, Sid leaned over the counter, paws on his chin as he propped himself on his elbows, looking down at Jake with a wink.\n\n“So.. mind if I ask how things went with you and Candice in the bedroom, or would you rather keep it between the two of you? It sounded like quite a party.”\n\n---\n\nAfter handing over the letter, the pat he received from Sid helped to ease his lingering concern for the girl. The final comment the opossum offered as he stood up to move into the kitchen however, brought a familiar feeling of warmth to the little buck’s cheeks, causing him to hunch his shoulders ever so slightly as he followed after his rescuer.\n\n“W-well… I really like her too, but…” he said softly, watching Sid place the letter on the kitchen’s island countertop.\n\nRather than follow the marsupial into the kitchen, Jake hung near the island instead, standing on the tips of his toes to peer over it at Sid’s back. He was carrying on about having something to eat while Candace rested, and that prospect alone had his attention at first. However as the stood at the counter, his gaze dropped to the envelope, face-down and displaying his poor handwriting. The address he’d written was still bugging him so, in an attempt to correct what he suspected was an error, the rabbit wielded the pen he was still holding and scratched at the paper while Sid was busy with the soup packet.\n\n“Noodles are fine…” he mumbled distractedly, even though it was already being prepared.\n\nStraining to see over the top of the counter so much that he was balancing on just the toes of his one good foot, Jake’s poor angle meant most of his pen strokes missed their mark, and he was garbling the current address more that he was defining the other. Unable to reliably see what he was doing, he finished his corrections as best he could and dropped back down onto his heels. The pen was left behind as Jake backed up to see Sid.\n\nHaving just finished getting the soup to start boiling, he now leaned over the countertop and stared down at Jake standing a few feet back. The buck met Sid’s gaze for a moment but the instant he inquired about what he and Candace had been doing in the bedroom, his eyes lowered sharply, accompanied by his ears. Pressed firmly against his back they burned with hidden shame and concern as Jake suddenly grew agitated and nervous.\n\n“Um… W...well…” he stuttered softly, looking away in shame. He couldn’t just lie to his savior. “I uhm… Candace, she… I-I told her I didn’t want to… but… I think… I scared her a--and maybe h-hurt her? I-i-it’s not my fault, though! O-Omega, he--he-he made me do something so t-terrible and… I just… I can’t help it. My mommy and daddy said I have a condition. I-I-I used to think it just made me really scared all the time but… I think it… I think it makes me bad, now. I don’t wanna be bad, Sid. Am I bad? Is--is she afraid of me?”\n\nThe buck was clearly on the verge of tears again, having worked himself up in just a matter of seconds. He’d honestly hoped to avoid a confrontation, but guilt and shame had been building in the back of his mind the entire time he worked on his letter.\n\n---\n\n“Oh, no no no no, of course you’re not a bad kid..”\n\nSid moved around the counter to run his paw down the back of Jake’s head, although this contact was cut short as Sid heard the water begin to boil. Sid moved back into the kitchen to start preparing the noodles for his conflicted little guest.\n\n“Jake, I know what happened between you and Alex, and just because you couldn’t control yourself, it doesn’t make you a bad kid at all. Hell, if you were that bad, you wouldn’t care so much about hurting him, or Candice. As for Candice, think about it. If you really hurt and scared her as bad as you think you did, do you really think she would want so much for you to stick around longer?”\n\nAfter boiling the noodles and adding the flavor packet, Sid moved the noodles into a bowl, but as he was bringing the bowl past the counter, his eyes fell to the modified address on the envelope.\n\n“Heh, kid, nobody’s going to be able to read that address. Here, let me fix that for you.”\n\nSid produced another envelope and placed it onto the counter, taking the pen in his own paw, making a light scribble to make sure it would write before asking Jake what his address was. Sid took down the address Jake dictated to him, making it much more clear than the 8-year-old’s illegible scribbles.\n\n“Done. I’ll send this thing off first thing in the morning.”\n\nSid ripped open the botched envelope, and moved the letter to the new one, licking the seal to close it and placing the letter back on the counter before presenting Jake with his bowl of noodles. He then stepped over to the phone, dialing a few numbers, much fewer than there would be for a normal number, but the faint sounds of a voice on the other end would reach Jake’s ears.\n\n“Hey it’s Sid. Got a pickup for you in the morning. Any time you’re ready.”\n\nAfter some short acknowledgements, the call was ended. Sid placed the phone on the base and moved to Jake, giving him one final pat before moving towards the bedroom.\n\n“You can watch TV or something if you want, but I suggest you get some sleep as early as you can. Candice and I have a very busy day planned for you tomorrow, and a huge surprise.”\n\n---\n\nIn response to Jake’s obvious distress, the cub was grateful to see Sid come running to comfort him, even if it made him feel a little guilty for seeking attention. It didn’t last very long however before the opossum was returning to the stove-top to finish making the noodle soup. His act of kindness had done its work though, as the young rabbit was watching the man intensely while he continued to explain away his fears and doubts. It helped immensely that Sid had some valid points, especially in regard to Candace.\n\nLike Sid had said, if she were really afraid, angry or upset with him for what happened earlier, she wouldn’t still be so eager for him to stay. And honestly he considered it for a fleeting moment, but his family bond was much too strong to be given up for a couple of strangers in a scary underground city where cubs were abused on a daily basis. Much as he liked the skunk, he wanted to go home. And honestly, he would have preferred to bring her and Sid with him.\n\nJake suspected his father would know someone in town who’d be kind enough to give Sid a steady job despite his criminal record, and Candace would get to live above ground where she could see the sky and swim in the local lake. She could even enroll in classes at school where he’d get to see her often and be able to hang out together during recess. He’d honestly enjoy that. In fact, the mental image he conjured was so appealing he decided to try asking them again sometime to run away with him.\n\nFor now, however, the buck’s focus returned to the present as Sid was approaching with a fresh, steaming bowl of soup. Jake’s ears perked up again as he licked his lips hungrily, but the opossum stopped short of delivering the meal. His gaze had honed in on the letter mangled by the boy’s awful writing. Sid took one look and stated frankly that no one would be able to decipher the address. Immediately the buck’s ears dropped again and he frowned.\n\n“S-sorry, I was just.. trying to fix it,” he said softly in defense.\n\nRather than further drive home the fact that his writing was terrible, Sid acquired another envelope, tested the pen and then asked for Jake’s address. The boy didn’t respond immediately though as he was still uncertain which one was correct. He’d not had to remember his street number or address for the first two years he’d been living in his new rural home as he was rarely more than three blocks from home.\n\n“Oh, um… I’m not sure,” he said, finally, wincing. “I-I mean I’m sure, just… Sorry. N-nevermind. I’m… pretty sure its twenty-three Cutter Boulevard.”\n\nWith his cheeks warm again, Jake stepped forward and stood on his toes again to watch as Sid copied the information from the previous envelope to the new one. The opossum then announced he was finished and unceremoniously ripped open the defunct envelope to pull out Jake’s carefully packaged letter and insert it into the fresh one. The buck watched intently, ears and nose twitching as he watched Sid lick the envelope to seal it shut. He secretly wanted to that part again himself, but he said nothing.\n\nAs soon as he was done, Sid put the newly sealed letter on the counter and drew Jake’s attention away from it with the deliciously spicy aroma of noodle soup. With nostrils flaring eagerly, the cub accepted his meal and immediately took it to the nearest TV-tray to sit and begin eating. However, before he could even enjoy his first mouthful, the sound of Sid dialing a phone nearby drew his focus. The opossum was talking to someone about a pick-up in the morning, which Jake assumed was in regard to the letter. He paid little mind to the person on the other end of the line and returned his concentration to his soup.\n\nThe first spoonful passed between his bucked teeth and deposited the soupy noodles into his molars where he could properly chew his food. Immediately after, a paw came down on his shoulder to pat him gently before moving away. On his way to the bedroom, Sid offered some parting words in which he suggested Jake watch TV. In the same breath however, he advised Jake not to stay up too late because he and Candace had plans and a big surprise. That news both tickled his curiosity and left him with a sense of worrying dread.\n\n“W-what kind of surprise?” he asked after the opossum, but the door to the bedroom was already latching shut.\n\nFrowning slightly, Jake twisted back around in his seat and loomed over his soup to continue eating. That last teasing statement had butterflies beginning to sprout in the young buck’s belly. What kind of surprise did he mean? Would he be going home tomorrow? That would be wonderful! Although… unlikely. Maybe Sid was going to bring him more clothes. Something that fit a little better. Or… maybe Candace would try to talk him into doing naughty things again… Jake shivered at the thought, mostly out of fear of what might happen. He was certain though, that it would be an even worse surprise if Sid himself planned to get involved as well.\n\nAfter his experience with Omega and that one night in which he’d slept with a naked Sid, poor Jake was having serious trouble trusting males in his current environment. He believed Sid was kind and good-spirited and wouldn’t dare touch him inappropriately, but at the same time he was assaulted with fearful scenarios in which instead of being abused by Omega, it was the savior opossum instead.\n\nSo plagued by those final parting words was Jake, that the rest of his night was fitful and resulted in him turning in much later than anticipated. He’d managed a few long hours of television before his own thoughts drove him to seek rest. However, he wouldn’t fall asleep until somewhere close to midnight, and even then he was restless beneath the covers as he lay on the couch. Come morning, however, Jake finally became still and placid, deeply asleep and safe from the worst of the nightmares.\n\n---\n\nJake wasn’t the only one having trouble sleeping. Although Candice pretended to be asleep as Sid entered the room, she was fully awake. Her mind was full of dread. There was something that weighed heavily on her mind. She dare not mention it to Sid, in case she elected to take drastic action.\n\nAll night, she turned slowly, only catching a few minutes to an hour at a time of sleep before she awoke again with that same feeling of dread. Sid was sleeping soundly, and eventually Jake was too, silent and still on the couch. Candice, however, continued to remain awake. She tried desperately to calm herself, telling herself that these feelings would pass, but nothing worked.\n\nEventually, however, she could stand the dread and guilt hanging over her not a moment longer. It was at least 5am topside when she made the decision to act, slipping slowly out of bed and making her way into the living room with slow, quiet movements. She slid the bedroom door open slowly, then closed it with as little sound as possible. Once she saw Jake, sleeping cutely on the couch, her resolve was solidified.\n\nThe naked skunk picked up one of the pouches she and Sid had returned with, quietly filling it with food items, and finally picking up Jake’s letter from the counter, stuffing it into the pouch and moving to the couch. The dread was clear in her expression as she placed her paw on Jake and rocked him gently, whispering until the young buck was awake.\n\n“Jake.. Jake wake up..” Once their eyes met, hers immediately welled up with tears. “Stay quiet, Jake. Don’t wake Sid. We have to get out of here. We have to run..”\n\nIt was pretty clear that Jake wanted an explanation, but Candice’s expression revealed that she didn’t want to give one to him. However, she couldn’t just leave him in the dark and expect him to just trust her.\n\n“Jake… Omega.. knows you’re here..”\n\nBefore Jake could give a voice to the feelings that statement would trigger, she gently clasped her paw over his muzzle, desperately trying to keep him quiet.\n\n“Shhh! Please..! You have to stay quiet. I promise I’ll explain everything, but we have to leave right now before he finds you..!”\n\nCandice then quickly tiptoed towards the front door, hoping that Jake was right behind her. She slowly unlatched it and creaked it open slowly, peaking out into the dimly lit alcove before stepping out and waving for Jake to follow her to Sid’s truck.\n\n---\n\nFrom Jake’s perspective, one moment his eyes had been open and the next they were shut. When they opened again after what only felt like moments, he was greeted by a fuzzy darkness and the raspy sound of whispers. The buck groaned softly, resisting Candace’s attempts to rouse him from his peaceful slumber at first, but when his sleepy gaze met hers, a shimmer in the dim light cast by the entertainment system nearby caught his attention.\n\n“C… Candace…?” he groaned softly. “What’re y--are you… crying?”\n\nRather than answer the skunk immediately told him to keep quiet and to not wake Sid. Though deeply confused, and still groggy, something about the urgency in her hushed tone aroused a familiar feeling of fear. And seeing the usually happy-go-lucky girl suddenly teary-eyed in the dark, whispering cautions to him, the buck’s instincts were quick to activate, however, along with them came Jake’s usual insecurities.\n\n“Wha--what’s going on?” he asked in a soft but panicked whisper. He’d never seen Candace like this before and it was scaring him.\n\nShe must’ve sensed his trepidation and uncertainty, as no sooner had the question left his lips did she state with horrific bluntness that Omega knew he was here. Jake’s reaction was so easily anticipated that Candace had a paw covering his maw before he could even form a single word. “Wh--!?” was the only sound he made, eyes wide with terror and disbelief.\n\nHad she not pre-emptively silenced him, Jake’s shock might’ve woken half the underground residents. Fortunately, however, she was able to talk him down from an all-out hysteria. He listened with eyes wide as saucers, breathing heavily through flaring nostrils while Candace promised to explain everything later. He believed her and he trusted her, and even though he wasn’t sure if this was just a really vivid nightmare, there was no one else he’d rather be with at this moment than her.\n\nAs soon as Candace finished speaking, Jake was nodding his head vigorously in affirmation, such that when she released him he was silent and moved like a frantic little rodent fleeing an unseen predator. His only action was to scoop up the blanket he’d been sleeping under and hold it tightly in his arms as he crawled off the couch and followed after the naked skunk.\n\nHe didn’t realize just how unclad she was until he reached the open apartment door and saw her exposed body light up under the dim light-bulb beyond. Jake stopped short and stared at her naked backside with a momentary blush before he shook his head and realized this was too lucid to be a dream. And if it wasn’t a dream then…\n\n“What about Sid?” he asked quietly from the open door, watching as Candace made her way to the truck. “C-Candace!” he whispered loudly. “We can’t just--leave Sid, what if Omega--!”\n\nPrancing on the spot indecisively, Jake whined and rushed out into the open on the tips of his toes, quickly closing the distance between himself and Candace, before reiterating his concern.\n\n“Please, we--we can’t leave him! He saved me from Omega, I--I can’t just--”\n\n---\n\nCandice was just as terrified as Jake at this point. She had no idea where they were going to go, or how on earth they were going to hide the brands on their thighs. She only knew that she had to get Jake away. If they wandered too far, and someone spotted those brands… Her train of thought was interrupted by Jake’s concern for Sid. Candice was full of conflict, trying to think of a way to keep Jake moving without revealing too much. If she told him the truth, he might react badly and wake Sid, or hesitate too long.\n\n“Don’t worry about Sid. He’ll be fine.”\n\nWith that, her eyes fixed on the curtain beside the front door. She grabbed the fabric with her claws, ripping, tearing a long strip as silently as possible, then a second strap. She quickly tied the first strap around her thigh, hiding the brand. It would likely look suspicious, but it was the only option and may buy them just enough time to think if they ran into trouble.\n\nShe was ready to apply the second fabric over Jake’s brand, still visible beneath his shorts when he firmly stated that he couldn’t leave Sid behind. Candice froze for a moment, eyes shifting towards the closed door of the bedroom. She had to address those concerns before she could get Jake out of the door. It didn’t matter the danger he was in, he was still resisting.\n\n“Please, Jake, trust me.” She took the time to tie the fabric around Jake’s brand as she spoke. “Omega won’t harm Sid. If.. If we’re gone, Sid can easily explain that you were never here, or.. or perhaps that he caught you trying to escape but you ran away. He’ll know what to do. He’ll.. He’ll be in more danger if he comes with us.”\n\nEverything Candice was saying was a lie, but she had to keep Jake calm and compliant. Once the fabric was tied around Jake’s thigh, Candice gripped Jake by the wrist to pull him insistently through the front door.\n\n“Now please, come on, Jake..”\n\nOnce the two were outside, she slowly pushed the front door closed, keeping the handle turned so as not to risk the sound of the latch clicking shut giving them away. She quickly scanned the alcove for any signs of movement before leading Jake to the passenger door of Sid’s truck.\n\n“After we get far enough away from this area, I’ll explain--!!”\n\nAs Candice opened the passenger side door, her assurances gave way to a short scream as the cab light came on to reveal that the truck was already occupied by a terrifyingly familiar figure in a business suit. Omega grinned at the expression of terror that greeted him.\n\n“Where are you off to in such a hurry, little lady?”\n\n---\n\nDespite Candace’s rushed reassurances, Jake was still clearly conflicted about the whole thing. He watched worriedly as the skunk shredded the nearby curtain into strips to cover the brand on her naked thigh, and as she was working to do the same to his he listened uneasily to her crude attempts to persuade him into abandoning the one man who’d risked his life to rescue him. The poor buck didn’t know what to do. He trusted Candace, but he trusted Sid even more. Sid had saved him from a fate worse than death. There was no better way to secure Jake’s faith than such a selfless act as that.\n\nHowever, the skunk’s obvious desperation and panic was beginning to get to him. She was genuinely terrified and determined to get Jake away from this place as quickly as possible. And though the rabbit cub was more than happy to be on his way to the surface to be reunited with his family, the lingering guilt of leaving Sid behind was too much. Even after Candace had tightened the fabric around his thigh and began tugging him towards the truck, Jake was still resisting. He was clinging to his sense of morality and it just didn’t feel right to leave the opossum behind.\n\nWhy the girl was so eager to leave him behind didn’t make sense either. They were supposed to be married, and although the age disparity of that union still made Jake deeply uncomfortable, she was his wife and must’ve loved him. So why was she so eager to escape without him?\n\n“C-Candace… wait!” he whined, tugging on his arm as he was dragged towards the passenger-side of the truck.\n\nThe older skunk was again promising to explain once they’d gotten far enough away from this place, but her words suddenly caught in her throat as she opened the truck door. The cab light came on and Jake’s gaze rose to the interior where a living nightmare casually sat. Omega in all his horrifying glory was here. Right here. Sitting in Sid’s truck.\n\nJake’s eyes widened in abject terror and all at once his higher functions gave way to an instinctual, crippling fear. A sharp scream tore up the buck’s throat as he lurched backwards and yanked his wrist free from Candace’s grip. All at once the boy was one-hundred percent certain that this was no dream. The reason being that Omega was always depicted as a looming, shadowy figure in his nightmares, but here and now, the wolf’s features were crystal clear.\n\nThe rabbit’s thumping heart leapt into his throat to choke off his shriek as he stumbled backwards and fell to the pavement. He couldn’t believe his eyes. There he was, the object of his deepest fears. Just like Candace had been trying to say, he knew. Perhaps he’d always known. Known that Jake had escaped, that Sid was hiding him here. It was too horrifying to imagine. He’d never really been free or safe.\n\nTaking deep, open-mouthed breaths, Jake’s panic escalated as he scrambled backwards across the ground, trying to distance himself from the terrifying sight before him. Every part of his body was screaming with the urge to run but he couldn’t bring himself to scramble to his feet. Mindless terror gripped him and he kept shaking his head side to side in disbelief.\n\n“N… n… no, no…” he whimpered pitifully. “Y-y-you’re not real… This is just… just a… a bad dream! I--I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up!”\n\n---\n\nOmega was immensely pleased at the sight of two terrified slaves, their expressions reflecting in the dim light inside the cab. As Jake tore his wrist free of Candice’s fearfully tightened grip, Omega grinned widely. He was going to run. The wolf turned and gripped the door and frame of the truck, ready to throw himself from the cab to run after his fleeing prey, but before the chase began, Candice threw herself in front of the wolf.\n\n“Wait!! Don’t hurt him!”\n\nCandice’s posture shrunk as she suddenly realized her error in putting herself between Omega and his fleeing prey, but to her great relief, her efforts only warranted a scowl. She looked back to Jake, who, luckily for her, had not yet started to run. He was instead trying to will himself to wake from what he had hoped was just another nightmare about the evil wolf. It took her a moment to regain her composure.\n\n“Please just.. Just take me back to the hotel and let Jake go! I’ll go back with you! I’ll.. I’ll stay there and keep doing the films and..”\n\n“That wasn’t part of our deal, Candice.”\n\nCandice’s posture shrunk again. This was a crucial piece of the puzzle she didn’t want to give Jake until it was safe to do so. Her worried eyes shifted back to the young buck, knowing undoubtedly that Omega may very well have shattered his trust in her with that statement, the weight of what she had done crashing onto her shoulders as she looked into those terrified, cute, blue eyes.\n\n“Move.”\n\nAs Omega exited the truck, Candice snapped around, placing her paws against Omega’s abdomen, more as a pleading gesture than physical resistance. She couldn’t hope to physically stop the wolf from getting to his prey.\n\n“Please, no! I’ll do anything, just don’t--!”\n\nHer pleas fell on deaf ears, and the back of Omega’s paw fell upon Candice’s muzzle, sending her stumbling out of his path. She wasn’t who the wolf wanted. He wanted his treasured prey back. He approached Jake slowly, giving him time to choose whether or not he would run from the large lupine.\n\n---\n\nStill struggling to distance himself from the massive wolf seated in Sid’s truck, Jake watched, wide-eyed with his mouth open and jaw trembling as Candace attempted to come to his aid. At that moment his terror was diverted towards the skunk as he feared for her life. The vivid memories of what happened to the last person who tried to defend him surfaced and caused tears to well up in his eyes. He expected Omega to kill her on the spot, like he had with the guard who dared intercept him during one of his attempted escapes.\n\nInstead though, the wolf scowled and remained motionless while the skunk desperately tried to bargain her freedom for his. The gesture was admirable, but Omega’s statement that followed suddenly sprouted a very large seed of doubt in Jake’s mind. Halting his slow retreat he stared in confusion and terror at the girl, looking like he’d just been slapped.\n\n“W…. what deal?” he squeaked, already beginning to realize that something was deeply wrong with this whole situation. “C-Candace, what--what’s he talking about!?”\n\nBefore the girl could even think to respond, Omega began to move, ordering the skunk to get out of the way. Instead however, she pressed against his massive frame pleading, begging for him to take her in Jake’s place. Her efforts were rewarded with a back-handed slap that sent her stumbling away and made the terrified cub jump in fright. Immediately after the wolf proceeded to move towards the buck, each step, each click of those shiny dress shoes against the concrete, raising Jake’s terror exponentially.\n\nOmega wanted him to run, and he knew that. He knew he shouldn’t give him the satisfaction let alone give in to his own screaming instincts, but Jake was weak. His trust in Candace had just been shaken, and he was beginning to wonder about Sid as well. With his freedom on the line and a horrific life of imprisonment and rape to look forward to if he didn’t try to run, there was little choice in his mind. If he stayed, he was assured an agonizing future, but if he bolted like his entire body was demanding him to, there was a chance, albeit a slim one, that he might escape.\n\nThese tunnels were dark and though Jake’s night-vision was poor compared to a predator like Omega, he still had to try. Another click echoed through the empty, cavernous underground as the wolf drew nearer and with an abrupt start, the buck yelped fearfully and twisted onto his side to scramble to his feet.\n\nThe second they were under him, the boy bolted. His old aches and pains were so forgotten that he didn’t even think to limp on his wounded foot. Jake took off with such feral speed that after the first several gaping strides, the cuts on his foot reopened and blood quickly began to soak the bandaging Candace had applied the day before. He hardly noticed the pain in his foot over the burning of his lungs and the staggering, barely visible tunnel beyond. Jake was running on pure adrenaline at this point and he’d already gotten a decent sized lead on the wolf before the sounds of pursuit reached his ears.\n\nSuccumbing to blind panic, Jake tore down the tunnel that lead to the main drag. He was so focused on fleeing that he almost didn’t see the vehicle about to cross his path until the headlights blinded him. A sharp squeal escaped the buck as he forced himself to stop just shy of being struck by the vehicle that raced by. His legs were already feeling weak and rubbery, and after his near collision he was beginning to feel nauseous as well. Neither one stopped him from continuing to run though.\n\nInstinctively, Jake turned left, and ran in the opposite direction the car had been heading. There was the possibility that it had been coming in from outside, but it was really just the frantic, terrified rabbit rationalizing his random decision. All he knew was that he had to keep moving.\n\n---\n\nCandice’s paws clasped over her lightly bloodied muzzle, she could only watch with dread as Omega purposefully delayed the re-capture of the young bunny. She knew what he wanted, and she began to sob the moment Jake moved to run, and those familiar, feral eyes of the wolf locked onto the quick movements of his prey.\n\nOmega had some difficulty giving chase at first, until he rid himself of those cumbersome boots as Jake made it to the tunnel. A horrified squeal echoed through the tunnel as Candice nearly witnessed Jake’s sudden, violent demise from a vehicle speeding by, but there was little consolation as he and Omega then disappeared around the corner, the wolf slapping bare pads across the concrete as he sprinted after his little toy.\n\nJake had a good head start, but his short legs didn’t carry him fast enough to evade capture for as long as he would have preferred--forever. Eventually, those long strides carried Omega close enough. Although mostly giving into those predatory instincts, the wolf still remembered what happened during their first chase, and so to prevent re-breaking the bunny’s snout, as he struck the knee of his target, a paw tightly gripped the long ears of the cub to prevent his face from being planted into the concrete a second time.\n\nAfter Jake slid along his knees, tearing the fabric of his shorts as he slid to a stop, Omega quickly halted his own momentum, and gripping under Jake’s arms, dragged his thrashing captive to the side of the tunnel so as not to be struck by passing traffic. He then took those arms behind Jake’s back, pressing him against the cold wall of the tunnel, pulling Jake’s new shirt over his head and wrapping it around his forearms as they were still in the sleeves, tying the boy’s arms quickly behind his back.\n\nOnce Jake’s arms were secure, the wolf removed his tie, and to prevent biting, wrapped the strap of cloth around Jake’s head, forcing it between his jaws and tieing it tightly enough to keep the boy’s jaws parted. The wolf had been waiting long enough to have Jake back in his grasp, so he wasted little time in securing him enough to hoist over his shoulder and carry him down the tunnel as he caught his breath.\n\n“We have quite a bit of catching up to do, don’t we, Jake?”\n\n---\n\nDespite having gotten farther than his previous escape attempts, Jake’s recent injuries had begun to flare up and interfere with his terrified pace. First his foot started burning, causing his noticeable limp to return, and from there his insides began aching and throbbing so badly that he was nearly doubling over with breathless exhaustion by the time Omega caught up. Though he was still moving at a surprising clip in the face of his growing pain, he was no match for an adult predator who was fit and nearly twice his height.\n\nThe first sign that he’d lost the race for freedom came when Jake felt that spine-chilling breath on the back of his neck. Omega was within reach and before the terrified buck could even think to dodge or weave his way into traffic to prolong his escape, a foot kicked out his knee again, just like the first time he’d ran from the frightening wolf. A sharp yelp escaped Jake as he toppled, his rhythm broken. He expected to strike the ground hard like before, but instead a beefy paw scooped up both of his sailing ears and grasped them tightly, halting his forward momentum almost completely.\n\nThe strain on his sensitive appendages was so intense that Jake squealed loudly in pain, reaching for his aching ears even as he legs gave out beneath him and he came crashing down against the asphalt. He knees scraped against the rough surface, tearing flesh and fabric alike before he came to a stop and hung suspended by his ears.\n\nBreathless and disoriented, Jake struggled blindly against the paws that manhandled him to his feet following his capture and threw him against the tunnel wall. His efforts were futile however, as the lengthy sprint had left the buck exhausted and weak. All he could muster in his defense were terrified squeals as his shirt was yanked over his head and used to unceremoniously bind both his arms behind his back. Already Jake was hysterically pleading for mercy.\n\n“Nah… no! Please! Please, no! Not again, nah-hah-oh!” he cried loudly, tears streaming down his cheeks as he thrashed against his assailant.\n\nOnce his arms were bound, Omega held Jake against the wall while he loosened his tie to use as a makeshift gag for the begging cub. The rabbit continued his hopeless, blubbering pleas right up until the noose-like length of fabric had been positioned around his head.\n\n“Let me go, please!! I don't--I don't wanna go back! Please!! O-Omega, I--” The knot of the tie was suddenly wedged between his jaws and the entire apparatus tightened to choke off any further complaints.\n\nFollowing his creative application of bondage, Omega scooped Jake up and threw him over his shoulder with a shrill squeal. Then the wolf began the long trek back, promising to ‘catch up’ while his victim cried and shrieked into his gag. With his legs the only free limbs left, Jake kicked wildly and struggled on his tormentor's shoulder, expressing every ounce of his grief and horror as he was taken back to his doom by the last creature he'd ever wanted to see again.\n\n---\n\nThe long sprint had the wolf nearly out of breath. It was exhilarating to be able to chase down his prey once again, further establishing the twisted bond he had developed with the cub. Jake was his special prize, and the wolf was happy to finally have the boy back in his grasp. He didn’t say a word, choosing instead to listen with satisfaction to Jake’s terrified pleas and squeals into the cloth gag as they made the long, slow walk through the tunnel, letting the tops of Jake’s feet thump harmlessly against his chest as the rabbit squirmed and kicked.\n\nCandice had been waiting, naked and crushed with guilt. Her heart sank further as she saw Omega carry the bound rabbit into view. The wolf’s breathing had grown quieter and more calm by the time he reached the point where the chase began, leaving a deafening silence aside from Jake’s muffled pleas. Candice’s cheeks were soaked with tears as she slowly followed behind where Jake could see her, whispering as she delayed the next round of pitiful cries.\n\n“I’m so sorry, Jake..”\n\nAs the trio entered the apartment, Candice squealed lightly as Omega gripped the back of her neck and gave her a shove in the direction of the bedroom.\n\n“Wake up Sid and get him in here.”\n\nAfter stumbling forward, Candice looked back at Omega with dread as he sat on the couch, then proceeded into the bedroom. Omega maneuvered Jake around so that he was facing out as he was lowered into the wolf’s lap, an arm wrapped around to contain his struggles, giving Jake a mock-compassionate kiss on his cheek before gripping the knot in his tie behind Jake’s head.\n\n“I missed you so much, Jake. Now I’m going to take this tie off. I hope you’ve learned your lesson about biting people by now.”\n\nOmega tugged at the tie until the knot came loose, and released Jake’s muzzle from the cloth gag, setting it aside as he continued to kiss at Jake’s neck and cheek. Meanwhile, Sid, who hadn’t been told why he needed to get to the living room yet, appeared, shirtless, but buckling a belt over his pants as he emerged.\n\n“Omega? I.. wasn’t expecting you to come so early.”\n\n“Well after our last conversation, I got the feeling Candice was going to crack and try to smuggle the boy away.”\n\n---\n\nFor the majority of the long walk back, Jake had continued to struggle ineffectually despite his aches and pains. Though his attempts to writhe free of his bondage had lessened by the time they arrived, the buck was no less terrified and desperate to escape. With Omega, there was no telling what cruel fate lay before him and he didn’t want to find out. Worse still, by now the wolf’s predatory scent had fully permeated his senses, such that his instinctual response to being in the clutches of the large lupine tormented him without end.\n\nAlmost completely shirtless thanks to Omega’s use of his top to bind his arms, Jake’s naked chest rubbed uncomfortably against his captor’s shoulder, especially whenever he squirmed and whimpered. He’d mostly given in to defeat, but only as a result of the hopelessness of his situation. With arms bound and body aching, even if he managed to get loose again, he wouldn’t be able to run even half as far as he’d managed earlier.\n\nEssentially, Jake was helpless. Helpless and in the arms of his brutal rapist. His fuzzy face was a mess of wet fur from his endless tears, and when Candace came around to follow the hulking wolf into the apartment, the grief-stricken cub couldn’t even bring himself to lift his gaze to meet hers. Had he seen her tears, he might still not have been convinced of the sincerity of her apology. As far as he knew at this point, he’d been deceived, whether by both Sid and Candace or just her he didn’t know. He still clung to the meager hope that the opossum would try to save him.\n\nAfter they entered Sid’s home, Candace was forcibly thrust toward the bedroom with instructions to wake the man of the house, something which worried Jake greatly. He fully expected Omega to just kill him on the spot and force Jake watch. He didn’t want to imagine what the wolf would then have planned for Candace and himself. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, he had something to take his mind off those future concerns when Omega sat down on the couch and man-handled the little cub into sitting on his lap.\n\nJake trembled on the spot, whimpering softly as he breathed shakily. He tried to work at the uncomfortably tight fabric in his mouth, pushing on it with his tongue when Omega suddenly planted a kiss on his cheek. Squealing in disgust, the buck writhed on the wolf’s lap, breaking down into whimpering cries as he realized the futility of his actions. Severely handicapped, there was little Jake could do but sit there as Omega offered to remove the gag.\n\nThe boy didn’t make a sound in response beyond several quick, heavy breathes that showed his intense panic, barely contained. As promised the tie came loose and was swiftly removed, allowing Jake to smack his lips repeatedly with discomfort. The fabric had tasted foul, and now that he was free of it, Omega helped himself to molesting his neck and cheek. Jake complained loudly with whimpering cries as he struggled to distance himself from that hot, slimy tongue.\n\n“S-stop it… please… let me go,” he whined, turning his head as far to one side as he could. “Just… let me go, please…”\n\nHe didn’t know what else to say at this point, as Omega ignored whatever he said anyway. Even now that perverted tongue helped itself to his body without once pausing to consider his pleas. The torment continued for only a few moments before Sid emerged from the bedroom, half-naked and buckling up a belt. Jake turned to stare pitifully at the opossum as he approached, hoping for some sort of reprieve or rescue. What came out of the man’s mouth however was so heart-breaking that the cub was visibly stunned.\n\nHe… He had been expecting him…\n\n“S… Sid?” Jake squeaked, on the verge of fresh tears. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.\n\nNot only did he indirectly confirm that he’d been working for Omega all along, but the wolf himself further proved it to be true as he explained quite simply that Candace was in on it too and had suffered a crisis of conscience. Completely overwhelmed with horror, Jake stared straight ahead at the entertainment system opposite the couch, eyes wide and tears flowing as he shuddered with disbelief.\n\n---\n\nAs Jake voiced his grief and disbelief to Sid, the opossum shrugged his shoulders as his paws left his belt buckle, his tummy hanging ever so slightly over the top.\n\n“I meant it when I said you’re a good kid, Jake, but we made a deal with Omega, and we’re sticking to it.”\n\nCandice stood off to the side, never raising her gaze from the floor. Omega scritched lightly under Jake’s chin as he began to fill in the blanks.\n\n“I never wanted to throw you away, Jake. I wanted only to teach you a few valuable lessons, about biting, about trusting anyone to free you, and..” Omega turned to Candice with a grin, watching her posture sink further with his next words. “..and about breeding.”\n\nOmega couldn’t resist running his paw up and down Jake’s soft chest as he hugged the boy’s waist against his body with the other arm, growling softly, just to milk more of the boy’s discomfort with his current situation. However, he stopped after a moment so that Jake could re-focus on what he had been put through in the past couple of days.\n\n“Sid isn’t actually one of my guards. He’s really an actor for the same porn studio I rented Candice to a long time ago. He liked her so much, he wanted to buy her from me. At the time, I refused. I don’t typically sell slaves who bear my brand. The two of them started to work together more and more, and they grew fond of one another. Sid was quite persistent, and i was running out of uses for the girl, so I eventually allowed her to go and live with Sid.\n\n“She still technically belongs to me, so when you came along, I decided to strike up another bargain with Sid. They put on a little show for you, let you think you’re safe, and teach you how to breed with a female. In exchange, I would give them both what they wanted, and sell Candice to Sid, effectively freeing her. She could then quit her work at the porn studio and live happily here.”\n\nOmega resumed stroking Jake’s chest, pulling him so that his currently clothed rump was resting against the knot pressed against the wolf’s pants while he allowed his explanation to sink in.\n\n“You ready to finish up the lesson, Sid?”\n\n“Well.. It doesn’t really seem necessary..”\n\n“You did say you wanted a turn with him, and this WAS a rather important part of the deal.”\n\n“Well.. Sorry, kid. I can’t break the deal now.”\n\nOmega grinned as Sid began to round the couch, starting to unfasten his belt buckle while the wolf forced Jake down against the arm of the couch, and tugged Jake’s shorts down to reveal what Sid had secretly wanted from the beginning, and although he didn’t really have much of a choice but to go through with it, a part of him was still longing to feel that young sphincter squeezed around his length.\n\nSid had just rounded the couch, his dual-peen slipping free of his pants, his sheath bulging to a width much larger than the average size of a normal opossum, with two tips emerging from the opening, when Candice ran around him, putting herself between Sid and Jake.\n\n“Sid, please! It’s not worth it! Don’t hurt him! Please don’t!”\n\nOmega quickly pressed a knee down against Jake’s back to keep him firmly pinned against the arm of the couch as he gripped the fur on the back of Candace’s head and pulled her out of the way with a gasp. Sid gave another barely apologetic shrug.\n\n“Sorry, babe.”\n\nSid then took over, restraining Jake against the arm of the couch as Omega removed his knee. She tried once again to reach out for Jake, but the wolf dragged her farther away, starting to move towards the bedroom.\n\n“What’s the matter, Candice? Feeling left out? You’re still mine for a few more hours. I think I’ll fuck you one more time before I let you go.”\n\n“Wh.. What?!”\n\nAs Omega started to drag the struggling skunk towards the bedroom, Sid paused, momentarily conflicted. However, in the end, he didn’t move away from Jake, allowing Candice to be taken away, even as she started calling to him for help. As the door was closed on the frantic protests of the young teen, Sid took a deep breath, and turned his attention back to Jake, kneeling over the boy’s legs as he began working himself to full arousal by rubbing himself against the soft fur of Jake’s rump.\n\n---\n\nThe response Jake got from the opossum was the last thing he'd expected to hear. According to him, Sid and Candace had both made a deal with Omega and they weren't going to deviate. The little rabbit's eyes were as wide as possible and filling with fresh tears as he shuddered in the wolf's lap. It was all a lie, every bit of it. He couldn't believe it, and his mortified gaze as it fell upon Sid and his wife again, showed the pain of betrayal plain as day on his face. He couldn't even bring himself to look either creature in the eye, but he didn't need to to see how little the opossum was affected by these events. The skunk though...\n\nCandace looked so ashamed of herself that she could only stare at the floor. It broke his heart to see her so defeated, but at the same time, he was furious with her. He wanted to scream out loud that he hated the girl for tricking him, but even if he'd had the courage to do so, Omega's paw suddenly but gently tickling the hairs of his chin sent chills up his spine sufficient to put out the flames. Jake jerked his head away from the offending fingers sharply and cried out loudly for just a second before he could regain composure.\n\nWithout missing a beat, Omega began to explain the whole situation for everyone to hear, much to Jake's utter dismay. His ears twitched constantly in response to the offensive sound of the wolf's voice as he casually told the poor buck exactly what this had all been for. And he was crushed. So crushed that he slumped forward in his captor's arms, open-mouthed and whimpering in-between soft sobs that choked him up. It had all been a game. Another one of Omega's twisted efforts to destroy Jake's faith in everyone around him, and he may very well have succeeded.\n\nJaw trembling and tears falling steadily from his irritated eyes, the cub writhed uncomfortably as the wolf decided suddenly to drag his paw through his chest fur. The feeling of that beefy appendage molesting his half-naked body made his skin crawl, but Jake was resigned to staring at the floor and listening despite the unnerving sound of Omega's deep, growling tone as he relayed the story of Candace and Sid. The opossum wasn't a guard, but an actor. He and the skunk together. They'd just been pretending to care for him, feigning compassion and understanding. And for what...? To be taught a lesson? Though Omega brought up his tendency to bite and his intent to make Jake distrustful of others, he seemed to be most interested in having him taught to breed. But after what transpired in the bedroom with Candace...\n\nJake shuddered in disgust, his ears burning hot with humiliation. He couldn't believe he'd let Candace talk him into mating with her. Just thinking about it made him sick with revulsion. After everything he'd been through and everything he'd thought they'd done to help him and make him feel better... To find out it was all fake; just an act... The buck was devastated so deeply that he turned his gaze onto Sid and Candace one more time, the full depth of his despair shining on them. Omega had finished speaking, leaving Jake to absorb the horrifying revelations, but he only had one thing on his mind at the moment.\n\n“I... I trusted you...” he whimpered, trying to look both of them in the eyes but neither one met his gaze. At that moment his composure cracked and the rabbit slumped forward again, sobbing miserably as Omega continued to molest his exposed chest and intentionally position him so that a familiar and frightening lump was pressing against the backside of his shorts.\n\nWhining softly as he half-heartedly tried to resist the wolf’s effort to run his fingers through his fur, Jake ears perked up worriedly when Omega spoke again. Suddenly he was addressing Sid, asking him if he was ready to ‘finish up the lesson’. Though Jake didn’t understand what he meant, even after Sid’s awkward reply, the cub was already expecting the worst. What Omega said next only confirmed his fears. The opossum, the man who’d supposedly saved him from a life of cruelty and imprisonment, had secretly harbored a desire to harm him too.\n\nOmega was insistent, and Sid, well… he hardly put up a fuss at all. He said he couldn’t break the agreement now, but when the buck cast a worried glance in his direction, there was barely a hint of regret. Sid wanted to rape him. He was already rounding the couch, fussing with his belt buckle, and seeing the man’s compliance, Omega suddenly manhandled Jake into a terrifying position where his legs dangled from the arm of the couch and his face was practically pressed against the wolf’s crotch.\n\nGagging on the thick odorous musk at first, it quickly gave way to a startled squeal as his shorts were unbuttoned from his tail and pulled down to expose his recently abused anus. The fact that his fears were correct only fueled Jake’s panic as he whimpered loudly and kicked his legs blindly. Sid was going to rape him. Just like Omega had twice now and just like that perverted otter had the day before. The rabbit was sobbing louder now, pleading for someone, anyone to reconsider.\n\nOnly one person seemed to be listening, as Candace intercepted her husband and begged him not to go through with it. Jake was still panicking and he squirmed on the spot, raising and tilting his head just enough that he could barely see behind him. What he saw was Candace’s naked backside and to one side, a horrifying appendage protruding from Sid’s exposed sheath. The sight alone made the cub whimper loudly in fear.\n\nUnfortunately for Jake and Candace, Omega’s retribution for her interference was swift and unkind. A painful knee to the buck’s back forced the air from his lungs with a pained grunt and the skunk was yanked aside roughly. Sid apologized again, but it sounded hollow. He autonomously took over the task of holding Jake down while the wolf stood and pulled away the young teen, who still struggled to defend the bound cub.\n\nWith his face pressed against the cushions of the couch, Jake couldn’t see what was happening. He could only hear the sound of Omega’s voice as he suggested that Candace was feeling left out. The wolf then immediately offered to rape her one more time and dragged the skunk off to the bedroom, their departure announced by the slamming of the door.\n\nBy now Jake was wide-eyed and trembling so violently that he could barely keep his legs together. He could still sense Sid behind him, standing their longingly as the skunk, pleading to her husband, was taken away. A short while after the door had closed, the buck yelped loudly as two hot paws lightly grasped his exposed backside. His panic returned in full force and sailed to the limits when he felt something warm and slimy rubbing against his tender rump. He was really going to do it. Sid was going to rape him. After everything he’d done.\n\n“Please, Sid… don’t… don’t do it, please!” he cried, mashing his tear-stained face against the couch cushion. “Y-y-y-you don’t have to, please. I-I-I--I can pretend! He-he won’t know. Please, don’t hurt me… Y-you don’t want t-to hurt me, do you? Sid? Please!”\n\n---\n\nJake’s pleas did little to deter Sid. It was true that he was hesitant to rape the kid, especially after seeing the boy so happy with some of the things he had done for him. Still, he worked in a place where cubs were routinely raped on camera, and he had even raped a few himself for a bit of extra cash. When it came to a choice between giving Jake a brief moment of comfort before he would return to the hotel, and freeing Candice, there wasn’t much deliberation needed.\n\n“Gotta be real, Jake. You’re no actor.”\n\nWith that, the dual tips pressed firmly against their target, slick with pre from his constant grinding. The slimy appendages snaked their way into Jake’s tight passage before the thickest section pressed against the tight resistance. Sid could only ignore Jake’s pleas as he continued. Unlike Jake’s previous attackers, he paused as he hilted inside, giving Jake a moment to adjust to his thickness. He even tried to tell Jake to relax, but if his actions weren’t triggering terror from, among other things, nothing but bad experiences with having a male’s genitalia inside him, relaxing while in such pain was easier said than done.\n\nSid began rocking his hips back and forth slowly, trying to stretch the boy out a little more gently. Meanwhile, the screams behind the closed door intensified, along with the sound of the bed creaking under the weight of what was happening inside. Once Sid heard this, his gentleness began to disappear, and he started raping Jake with increasingly harsh thrusts. Whether he was angry with Omega, or blamed Jake for what was happening to Candace was difficult to tell, but he seemed not to care anymore than he was hurting the cub who not long ago gave him his complete trust.\n\nThe opossum’s hips continued to slap Jake against the side of the couch as he did what he had been wanting to do ever since he was pretending to guard the room where Jake was later raped for the first time, and although his opinion on Jake had changed over the next few days, that desire was now driving his actions as he drove his shafts into the helpless cub bent over his couch.\n\n---\n\nThe poor cub was already tensing against the intrusive grinding of Sid’s scary-looking organ between his fuzzy little cheeks when the man offered his unfortunate reply. Jake had been putting all of his hope into convincing the opossum not to rape him, so his simple statement that the buck was no actor took him by complete surprise. His eyes widened in terror as, following those few words, the eight-year-old cub suddenly felt pressure against his previously abused anus.\n\n“N--nngh! Hah! No! No, please!” he squeaked, grunting in growing discomfort as Sid slowly began to push his erection past that newly aching ring of muscles. “Sid, please! Sid, no, no no no n--AH!”\n\nDespite the man’s far more gentle nature of penetrating his backside, the sudden pop as Sid hilted inside his bruised rectum made Jake’s entire body jump and stiffen in hopeless protest of the invasion. All at once he found himself full again, sphincter stretched beyond its natural limits until it throbbed and burned angrily while his insides clamped down against the girth and revolting sensation of that bifurcated penis’ dual heads writhing like a pair of worms inside him.\n\nChills raced up and down Jake’s spine as he sobbed pitifully. His legs had been struggling ineffectively to push Sid away from his exposed backside, but when he finally made entry, both had kicked out straight and remained there, twitching and trembling to either side of the opossum that stood between them. The only relief after being forcibly sodomized for the fourth time now, was that Sid had some modicum of generosity to remain motionless while attempting to offer Jake some advice.\n\nThe very idea of relaxing while he was being raped was insane to the buck, though. Sid, the man who’d from his perspective risked his life to sneak Jake from the hotel with the promise of returning him to the surface and his family as soon as possible, the man he’d seen as a hero and perhaps even a father figure, the man he’d trusted so completely that he hadn’t once suspected him of anything nefarious, now stood here with his grotesque-looking penis buried to the hilt in his aching backside. And he had the nerve to tell the boy to ‘relax’.\n\nAt first all Jake could offer in response were tears and misery, but when he felt Sid beginning to pull out with the intent to thrust forward again, a shrill squeal escaped him as he squirmed against the couch’s arm.\n\n“No, no no no, please, don’t move it, don’--ow! Hah… Nnngah!” Jake groaned loudly in pain and humiliation, mashing his wet face against the cushion beneath him as that slimy organ pulled back to just before the base of its twin heads and pushed forward again.\n\nAnother strained squeak signaled a second successful penetration to the hilt, and already the cub was giving in to the agony and grief. His struggling renewed as thrust after thrust followed, pushing that beefy shaft back and forth past his straining sphincter. Without lubrication of any sort and thanks to his own resistant efforts, it burned immensely and gave Jake more than enough reason to sob loudly as he kept incoherently begging the man to stop.\n\nHis own cries of anguish were halted for a moment, however, when Candace in the next room over screamed loud enough to hear. Jake’s ears perked up and his eyes widened in horror. Omega was in fact raping her again, and from the sound of her pained cries and the thumping and creaking of Sid’s bed, he wasn’t being gentle in the least. Fresh tears welled up in his eyes immediately as he realized just how terrible things had become in so little time.\n\nOne moment he was sleeping on this very couch, where his greatest concern aside from finding a way to the surface, was the surprise coming the following day, and the next Omega had appeared, like a demonic phantom, snatching away his hope and causing pain and misery wherever he went. He’d infected Sid, whom until now Jake saw as a benefactor, but was now his latest rapist, and to make the whole horrifying experience worse, the one person who’d attempted in the last few moments to spare him from this fate, was being brutally assaulted nearby.\n\nAs if to drive the message home that there was no hope, that everyone he met couldn’t be trusted and there was no escape from this underground Hell, Sid, upon hearing the agonized cries of his own wife, began to give in to his own angry lust. Every moment that followed those first screams became increasingly more uncomfortable. The opossum’s thrusts grew violent, picking up speed and force despite Jake’s grunts and whimpering cries evolving into loud sobbing screams as his stretched anus began to tear under the assault.\n\n“St-st-stop!” he shrieked in agony, “It h--hurts! It hurts! Stop, please! I ca--AH! Haahahah--Nngh! P-pull it out, please! I can’t--I can’t stand it!”\n\nIf his stammering, pain-filled words weren’t enough proof of the damage being done, Jake’s entire body was convulsing from the savage, sexual abuse. With every smack of those inverted, marsupial testicals again his fluffy tail, the buck’s legs kicked out and trembled wildly. Fresh blood had already begun to coat Sid’s shaft as he plunged it inside the cub again and again with increasing ferocity.\n\nAt some point Jake lost his sense of time. Wave after wave of pain racked his little body and with his pleas falling on deaf ears he eventually stopped bothering altogether. For a time his existence consisted of being pummeled from the inside out, jerking forward and rocking back as he stared blankly at the entertainment system he’d once enjoyed watching films on. Now it was a black screen and for all intents a portal into the worst Hell imaginable.\n\nSome fifteen minutes passed before the violent thrusts began to slow, and by then blood had mottled the fur of Sid’s testicles and Jake’s tail, his own tight, little sack stained with the lion’s share of it. The poor buck had resorted to taking in air with sharp, pained gasps, his whole body limp and aching from the strain of the abuse. Surprisingly it paled in comparison to his first experience with Omega, but what made it so much worse in his mind was the fact that Sid, his supposed savior, was the one responsible for all this pain.\n\n---\n\nIt was as if Sid was no longer even hearing Jake’s pleas anymore, or feeling the blood starting to drip down his fur as he continued to betray the young cub as he had intended to do from the start. Although he found the buck’s tightness pleasant, and although he still wanted the boy’s body, for the most part this was merely a job to get done, as it would be if Jake were in the porn studio to be raped on camera.\n\nWithout another word, he spent the next fifteen minutes abusing Jake’s torn anus with purposeful thrusts. Once Candice’s screaming on the other side of the door had subsided, the opossum’s focus was entirely on the cute cub he was violating, which fueled his pleasure as he slowed his thrusts. With his orgasm approaching, Sid slowed his thrusts and eased himself into his climax, bit by bit, until his pleasure peaked, and his shafts throbbed with seed to deposit into his young guest.\n\nLeaning over the sobbing bunny, Sid let out heavy breaths as the boy’s squirming and tight confines milked every last bit of seed lingering in the opossum’s dual-shafts. As he began sliding himself out of the ravaged cub, the door to the bedroom opened. Omega emerged, naked, his cock slowly receding into his sheath. Behind the open door, Candice was sitting on the bed with her knees pulled against her chest, staring at the wall. She was hugging her large tail against her front from between her legs. For the first time since Jake arrived, she was trying to hide her naked body from everyone.\n\nOmega rounded the couch, grinning as he saw and smelled the blood staining Jake’s butt and privates.\n\n“Looks like we’re breaking him in quite nicely. He’ll be ready for clients in no time.”\n\nAs Sid continued to hold Jake in place, Omega began to re-attire himself, his alien-like member slowly retracting as a few droplets of blood fell from the tips. As Omega adjusted his tie with one paw, he took Jake’s arm with the other, still bound in the shirt he had only worn for one night. Stepping on Jake’s shorts, Omega forced the boy to step out of them, leaving his lower half completely exposed once again.\n\n“Let’s go home, Jake. Candice, you’re coming too.”\n\nThis drew both Candice and Sid’s attention as Sid spoke up.\n\n“Wait a minute, why is Candice going back to the hotel?”\n\n“She tried to run away with Jake. She should be punished for this.”\n\n“I see.”\n\n“After that, she’s all yours.”\n\n“Alright.”\n\nWith that, Candice landed on the floor with a thump, and quickly made her way into the living room, tail still hugged against her chest.\n\n“S.. Sid?! Y-You’re just going to let him?! You’re not going to..?! Do you even…!?”\n\n“What else do you expect me to do, Candice? You fucked up, and until the deal is finalized, you still belong to him.”\n\nCandice was frozen in place, mortified by Sid’s words. In an instant, her world was turned upside down almost as much as Jake’s.\n\n“Hey, hey, hey..” Sid moved over to the skunk, who started to recoil as he approached, but remained still as Sid wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her on top of the head. “I know it’s going to be rough for you, but after that, you’ll be free. Just a little more pain, and it’ll all be over. You can handle it, babe.”\n\nStill hugging her tail, Candice’s eyes strained to look down behind her as she tried to ever so slightly move her back away from Sid’s blood-soaked crotch.\n\n---\n\nBy the time Sid had aroused himself enough to climax, Jake's whines and pained groans followed every other thrust. His struggling and writhing had mostly stopped now, both legs hanging limp from the couch arm and only twitching in response to the awful sensation of hot semen filling his bruised innards. The poor buck was in a temporary state of shock, unable to move beyond the shuddering of his chest as he sobbed. Having his former hero rape him with barely even a second thought had shattered a significant part of his fragile psyche, ensuring that Omega would ultimately get what he wanted; a slave too afraid to trust another living creature.\n\nWhen the opossum finally pulled his organ free of Jake's still clenching sphincter, a small pitiful whine was all the buck could muster. His face was drenched with tears, as was the cushion beneath him. His naked backside was a mess of blood and whatever semen managed to ooze from his violated anus. He couldn't will himself to move even when Omega re-emerged, naked and satisfied with his time with Candace. All Jake could see was the black screen of the television across from him, but his trembling ears rotated automatically to listen intently as the wolf approached and complimented Sid on his vile deed.\n\nThe mention of future clients made Jake whine softly and both struggle and fail to raise his legs against his exposed rump. The very idea of going through this awful experience with other males again and again was mortifying. Jake wasn't sure his heart could take it. He'd already been raped twice by the scariest, most evil creature he'd ever encountered, and now the man he once thought his savior, had just finished filling his little body with his seed. At the very instruction of that monster Omega, no less.\n\nJake could still feel Sid’s paws on his hind-quarters, having never left, but soon after the opossum had finished and Omega returned, a fresh paw suddenly gripped one of his bound arms and hoisted him off the couch. A shrill, terrified and pained cry accompanied his return to his feet where he wobbled unsteady on weak legs while the wolf stepped on his shorts and forced the rabbit to stumble free of them. As soon as he was relieved of his newly acquired clothing, Jake slumped miserably, staring at the floor emptily. He hardly cared about being naked with Omega, Sid and Candace free to peep at his body now. In fact, almost hanging from Omega's grip on his arm, all he could think about what the tickling sensation of the blood and semen dribbling down the backs of his thighs. His tail hung low over his abused rear, trembling as he sobbed quietly under his breath.\n\nUnable to even acknowledge Omega’s comment about ‘going home’, the traumatized buck instead half-listened to the conversation that followed. The wolf was taking Candace too, which didn't surprise the cub who thought breaking an agreement wasn't any sort of a leap for the vile lupine. Sid and his wife on the other hand were both startled by the news. Though Sid questioned it at first, he accepted Omega’s answer without a second thought. Candace was horrified though. Jake couldn't see, but he heard the skunk leap to the floor and run into the room, confronting her supposed husband about his apathy.\n\nNo doubt like Candace did, Jake absently wondered if Sid even loved the girl. He tried to console her but the rabbit didn't even need to see the interaction to know the skunk wasn't really buying it. He wanted to sympathize with her, share in her grief and offer some mutual comfort as someone who knew what it was like to be ravaged by Omega, and betrayed by someone he trusted, but deep down he was still mad at her. Mad that she lied, furious that she went along with this insanity for so long, and upset that she didn't have a change of heart sooner. They might’ve stood a chance at escaping if she hadn't waited until the last moment.\n\nHe couldn't really blame her though, as much as he wanted to. She was a slave just like him. Her thigh was branded just like his.\n\nShivering visibly, Jake started to teeter to one side as his left leg twitched with the memory running. His instincts were still active, but exhaustion and utter disbelief had made him too weak and depressed to properly address them. Instead all he could manage was a half-hearted attempt to pull away from Omega’s grip. He listed to one side until his feet had no choice but to move, and then he grunted as his body met the resistance of that firm grasp holding him in place.\n\n---\n\nAs Jake continued to slump weakly to the floor, Omega once again knelt in front of the defeated cub and hoisted him onto his shoulder. Candice flinched as Omega approached, hugging her tail even tighter before the wolf took her wrist. Sid immediately released his embrace to allow Omega to take her away. She whined as she stumbled forward, dragged out of the apartment still clutching her tail with her free arm.\n\nCandice couldn’t bring herself to look into those betrayed blue eyes of the cub hanging from Omega’s shoulder, hunched over as she continued to stumble in the direction Omega was pulling her. Their destination was a modest vehicle a few spaces down from Sid’s truck. It wasn’t as luxurious as one with Omega’s means might be expected to drive. Perhaps he didn’t care for such things, or maybe he knew that if Candice were to try to escape with Jake, she might become suspicious if she spotted something flashy among the less impressive vehicles.\n\nThe wolf temporarily released Candice’s paw, instructing her to stay put. She considered running, for a moment, but she had tried that in the past with results similar to Jake’s experience. She stayed where she was, clutching her tail and fighting back tears. Even if she did try to run, and even if she escaped, where would she go? Back to Sid? He would give her right back to Omega.\n\nThe wolf fished a key from his pocket, and opened the trunk of the car, depositing Jake inside and shoving him inward. However, he didn’t intend on leaving Jake alone inside. To Candice’s surprise, Omega immediately grabbed her and shoved her forward, causing her to squeal as her squirming limbs were forced inside one after the other, and the trunk slammed shut, leaving her in darkness with the cub she had betrayed.\n\nThe silence that followed the footsteps away from the car was as awkward as they come. Omega had purposefully left the two of them alone after revealing the twisted plot that she had played a part in. Just what did he hope would happen between the two of them? \n\nWas he hoping that Jake would punish her himself before Omega did, or did he just want to make them both as uncomfortable as possible?\n\nThe footsteps returned after awhile. Omega had gone back into the apartment, and whatever he was doing or discussing in there, now he was ready to bring them back to that awful place neither of them wanted to ever see again. The engine started up, and the vehicle began to move, two captives trapped in the dark trunk for a long, awkward ride, still silent until Candice finally worked up the courage to speak.\n\n“I.. I never should have done that to you, Jake.. I’m so sorry!”\n\n---\n\nDejected and hopeless, Jake offered up almost no resistance as he was scooped up in the arms of his tormentor and and thrown over his broad shoulder for the second time today. A soft, groaning whimper was the only sound he made as he was essentially being carried like a sack of potatoes. His gaze was focused primarily on the floor where fresh tear-drops were already soaking the carpet.\n\nNot another word was spoken amongst the group as Omega moved forward to grab Candace by the wrist and practically drag her out of the apartment. As they walked Jake could see her naked form in his peripherals, but like her he couldn't bring himself to look in the eye. He still felt deeply betrayed. It was worse than that though. His faith in others had been completely shattered. There was little she could say in her defense as well, which didn't help. She'd played her part flawlessly as far as Jake was concerned; tricked him and took advantage of him.\n\nTook advantage… The buck trembled lightly with recollection. Of everything she'd done, that was the most unforgivable. Under the guise of helping him be more comfortable with nudity, she'd coerced him into being molested and performing sex acts with her. That shame made him blush even as Omega approached his personal vehicle. Jake then heard the trunk unlatch and the next thing he knew he was being thrown in.\n\nDespite himself the buck flailed and squealed as he was forced into the truck. He hit the rough fabric of the interior, squirming and panting frantically as he was pushed further in to make room for Candace. He had no idea of course that she'd be joining him at first, so when the sound of her being forced in behind him reached his ears, he writhed unhappily, struggling to roll over so he could have his back to her.\n\nJake shrank inwards on himself and whined as the frantic skunk was pushed in and the trunk lid slammed shut after her. She had more freedom of movement than he did, but he didn't want her anywhere near him so he pressed himself as deep into the trunk as he could.\n\nTrapped in darkness with the object of his loathing and betrayal, Jake gritted his teeth and tensed against her presence as tears continued to wet his messy cheeks. The silence was deafening as the pair wait for Omega to return and Jake found himself growing oddly impatient. He wanted to get the trip over with so he never had to see Candace ever again. He could only hope the silence lasted for the whole ride.\n\nUnfortunately, shortly after Omega came back and started the car to pull it into the main drag, the skunk’s voice reached his trembling ears over the rumble of the engine. As he'd already expected, the girl was trying to apologize now. Like mere words could make up for the depths of her betrayal. He'd trusted her so strongly that he had allowed himself to be at his most vulnerable with her. And she used it against him.\n\nJake couldn't bring himself to say anything in response at first, leading the girl to continue offering apologies and attempt to explain herself, but the longer he listened to her voice the more emotional and frustrated he grew. Eventually he couldn’t take it anymore and cut her off sharply despite barely raising his voice above a whisper.\n\n“Leave me alone… D-Don't talk to me…” he whimpered, hiding a face twisted by grief and anger.\n\n---\n\nCandice continued as Jake didn’t respond to her apology at first.\n\n“You have every right to be upset with me. I manipulated you, got you to put your trust in me.. and even when I started to like you.. still, I… Please don’t hate me, Jake. I was only going along with this because--”\n\nHer words caught in her throat the moment Jake spoke. He wasn’t having any of it. After demanding that Candice stop talking to him, all the air in her lungs escaped in a silent sob, her paw over her muzzle as she sniffled and let out another shaky breath. She could feel Jake’s grief as he curled up against the opposite wall of the trunk. It took her a minute to regain her composure after that, but even despite Jake’s wishes, she wasn’t quite done.\n\n“J-Just.. let me say one more thing.. then.. then I’ll leave you alone..”\n\nCandice sniffled a few more times, trying to steady her voice before continuing, but as she spoke, it still came out shaky from her desire to cry again.\n\n“That DVD you smashed… I told you that all the cubs in those films were actors, and weren’t really being harmed. That was only half true. In the studio Omega rented me out to, only some of the cubs were actors. There were some.. who were brought in just to be raped on camera, so that others could pay to see their genuine suffering..”\n\nCandice continued to hug her tail tighter against her body.\n\n“That DVD was.. my first time. I wasn’t an actress. The studio wanted someone new and fresh, so Omega let them take me there, and put me on a set. They didn’t tell me what they wanted from me. They put some clothes on me, gave me some toys and told me to play with them for the camera.. I started playing with them for a short while and.. That’s when my.. partner… came in. I told you that he was gentle and kind… but he wasn’t. He was there to rape me for the camera.”\n\nCandice struggled to keep herself from sobbing again after reliving that horrible day when she had her virginity stolen from her for perverts everywhere in the underground to watch.\n\n“When Omega saw the video, he loved it so much he decided to take me as his own personal toy, and you know what that meant for me. The studio.. they brought me back again and again, for more videos and.. sequels with the one from my first video.. until one day… when I met Sid. He offered to coach me.. to teach me how to act so that I could eventually try out for better roles and have more control over which perverts got to put their dicks inside me.. I was so desperate for the abuse to stop that I worked hard to give them what they wanted.\n\n“I was still very young when I started doing films with Sid. Eventually… he convinced Omega to let me stay with him, but.. Since Omega still owned me, he insisted that I continue making films, so that the studio would continue paying Omega royalties for my appearances. I was so desperate to quit the studio that I would have done anything to get out of it…. and I was given the chance… through you… I thought it would be easy, and I wasn’t thinking of the consequences.. I just wanted a way out--ANY way out.\n\n“Jake, when I first moved in with Sid, I found that same fucking DVD that you did. I wanted to smash it myself.. but Sid told me I shouldn’t be ashamed of it. He convinced me to let him keep it. When you smashed the DVD yourself, at that moment I started to like you for real. I wasn’t just pretending. I thought Sid cared about you too, but…”\n\nCandice couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, and turned her own body around, facing the opposite wall of the trunk as she let all of her emotion out one more time.\n\n“If I had known you before all of this began, and what I would have to put you through, I never would have gone through with it. That’s what I wanted to say. I see now that all Sid really cared about was just having another hole to fuck on his downtime…”\n\nHaving explained herself to Jake, Candice broke down with pitiful sobbing, but from this point, she resolved to give Jake what he wanted and leave him to himself for the rest of the ride back to the hotel.\n\n---\n\nWhen Candace spoke to him again after he’d told her not to, the rabbit tensed visibly and tried to curl his body even smaller despite the shirt that still bound his arms behind his back. He didn’t want to listen to anything she had to say. He could still feel the pain in his backside from his most recent rape and the flesh burned and sizzled much like his anger towards the skunk who had tricked him into mating with her for her own sexual gratification. Jake still couldn’t get over that part, and he wasn’t sure if he could forgive her for everything else either.\n\nSure, she tried to save him at the last minute, and sure she was apparently upset about having deceived him, but he could no longer believe anything she had to say. For two days she pretended to be this friendly, caring and understanding girl who had experienced the same awful abuse at the paws of Omega, who also bore a permanent reminder of his cruelty in the form of a brand on her thigh, but it had all been a ruse. An act to further her own interests at the expense of his. She’d used him, both directly and indirectly. And to think he’d felt bad about losing control with her in the bedroom the night before.\n\nJake shuddered and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to ignore what Candace had to say, but even though the revving of the engine and distinct sound of tires spinning against pavement tried to drown her out, the buck’s exceptional hearing made it impossible not to listen. Perhaps that was a good thing, as the sniffling skunk was trying to explain herself regarding one more lie; about the DVD. \n\nThe tale she had to tell was horrific, though. So horrifying that he couldn't be certain it was true. He couldn't imagine her going through such an awful ordeal and coming out of it as someone who would willingly throw another cub like her, stuck in the same awful boat, under the bus to improve her own circumstances. It was sickening and even from behind it was clear just how mortified he was. Ears trembling and arms writhing in their bondage, he ground his teeth together in emotional frustration.\n\nHe waited as patiently as he could for the girl to finish with her revelation about Sid's true nature, but when he finally spoke after a long silence during which the vehicle struck several potholes that made Jake's body bounce and jostle, he didn't address anything she had mentioned.\n\n“I… watched my friend Samantha die,” he said softly, his own voice on the verge of cracking like Candace’s who'd been crying ever since telling her story. “Omega… he killed her right in front of me. In the--” he choked up for a moment. “In the worst way ever. She died… trying to protect me… My only friend… I--I know she cared. I know… because it killed her… hah… So--so why should I believe anything you say? If--if you really cared then… y-y-you’d be dead too!”\n\nA startled grunt came from the buck as they hit a particularly large bump that tossed his helpless body like a piece of luggage, but he immediately retracted his limbs again, sobbing softly with grief. His arms had begun to ache from their forced bondage and the discomfort had him squirming in a half-hearted attempt to free himself. He hated being bound.\n\n---\n\nAs soon as Jake started to speak, Candice’s head raised, hoping that from his tone, he might be ready to forgive her, but what he had to say only made the deceitful skunk feel like absolute scum. He had to watch his friend die, and now thanks to her, this traumatized cub might never be able to trust anyone again. Jake felt at this moment as if he didn’t have a true friend in the world anymore, and it was all her fault.\n\nWatching the cub bounce on his bound arms uncomfortably, she rolled over, and although she didn’t think Jake would appreciate the contact, she carefully slipped the knot free so that Jake could slip the shirt off of his arms. After that, she rolled back to face the opposite wall, and considered Jake’s last question. Why SHOULD he believe her after all the lies she had told him. Defeated, she eventually gave Jake her answer.\n\n“I suppose… you’d be wise not to..”\n\nCandice was silent for the rest of the trip, and when the trunk opened, the two slaves were back in the parking garage, and Omega was dragging Candice out. She hardly put up a fight at this point. She wasn’t looking forward to her punishment, but her spirits were too broken to try to escape it.\n\nOmega grabbed Jake’s arms and wordlessly re-applied his bondage before hoisting the boy over his shoulder once again. In truth, he didn’t really want to carry the boy again, but in the past half hour, Jake didn’t seem like he was willing to walk, and Omega didn’t feel like dragging him either. The two slaves were brought through the corridor, up the elevator, and right back into Omega’s office.\n\nCandice had been compliant thus far, but as soon as the office door closed, and those paws gripped her arms, she suddenly stiffened. The imminence of her punishment brought her fear back to the surface, and she resisted every manipulation Omega had made to her position, pressing her chest against the wall and binding her wrists in some hanging shackles.\n\nHe pulled the chain to adjust the height, keeping Candice almost on her tip-toes as he secured the chain. As she pulled lightly on the chains, her eyes following the wolf to his desk, Omega opened a drawer and retrieved a cat-of-nine-tails from within, tapping his chin as he rounded his desk again.\n\n“I wonder…”\n\nHe then turned the handle outward and offered the whipping tool to Jake. The position and body language of the two slaves as he had opened the trunk of the car had not gone unnoticed.\n\n“Would you like to do the honors?”\n\nOmega looped one paw around, wondering if Jake would actually do it as he unbound the boy’s arms. Candice struggled to turn her head, eyes fixed on Jake as she was wondering the same thing.\n\n---\n\nAlthough he was still angry at the girl he was presently imprisoned with, Jake wasn’t sure he’d ever be mad enough to strike at her right here and now, even if his arms were free. In fact, he was already feeling a little guilty for being so cold to her now. He didn’t want to; for all he knew she was just tricking him again. Omega had exposed both her and Sid as being nothing more than actors, and if that was the case then she could simply be playing another imaginary role. Certainly she’d had him convinced back at the opossum’s home, right up until the last second when she gave in to her conscience--and he was almost certain it was little more than guilt that had driven her to divulge the hidden plot to him.\n\nIf she’d been any more callous and selfish, Jake might’ve woken the next morning to some horrific ‘surprise’ that Omega had undoubtedly prepared. The poor cub would’ve been taken back with the wolf like he was right now, and the only difference would have been that the girl got exactly what she’d wanted. Freedom from Omega and his hotel. She would still get it, too. Candace would ultimately go free after whatever punishment the lupine was planning, but Jake… He might never see beyond the walls of his waiting cell again. All of those promises and reassurances, they were little more than lies to placate him and keep him from trying to escape on his own.\n\nAs he lay there in thought, his tears of misery become ones of rage, an emotion he rarely ever felt so strongly. He’d been so utterly wronged, and though Sid was the main perpetrator just below Omega himself, neither one were accessible to him as a means to exercise his frustrations and desire for revenge. Candace though… After the role she’d played in this sick, twisted game, she more than deserved to be punished. However, Jake doubted he could ever be the one to do it. Mad as he was, he’d never once willingly hurt someone back for hurting him. He was much too soft and compassionate. Besides, the skunk seemed genuinely penitent. But it could just be an act, too… He’d only really met her two days ago. That was hardly enough time to get to know someone.\n\nSniffling softly as he struggled with his internal conflict, Jake squirmed awkwardly to wipe one of his wet cheeks on his naked shoulder. He moved to do the same with the other when he felt something touch him near his bound arms. The rabbit gasped sharply and kicked out at the interior of the trunk.\n\n“D-don’t touch me--” he was already snapping at Candace before he suddenly felt the binding of his limbs loosen.\n\nJake rolled over to see the skunk having already retreated back to her side of the tight confines, but her efforts were clear as his arms came free of the shirt that bound him. Though he was grateful to have his arms mobile again, he still hadn’t forgiven Candace’s transgressions. So he said nothing of her gesture, not even a thank-you. He felt bad about it, but he was upset enough to feel that she deserved it.\n\nThe rest of the trip passed in relative discomfort and complete darkness save for a single idiot light that cast a weak red glow in their crowded space. With his arms now free, Jake fussed with his shirt until he could put it on his body again properly, then hugged his chest tightly as he rode out the bumpy ride. He wanted to do more, knowing he was being taken back to a life of sexual, physical and psychological torment, but defeat had all but claimed him for now.\n\nWhen the vehicle finally came to a stop and Omega cut power to the engine, Jake’s nervousness returned. The wolf was quick to exit his car, come round to the rear, pop the trunk and drag Candace out into the considerably brighter but still dimly lit underground parking lot. As she was removed, putting up almost no resistance, Jake rolled over and watched meekly. He bore little sympathy for her treatment, which was obvious but his lack of response, but when it came his turn to be manhandled, the buck naturally fought. Mainly because Omega had zero patience with him and had already thrown his shirt over his head again and forcibly bound both arms behind his back once more.\n\nJake’s protests were wordless and pitiful, but in a few short moments he was restrained once more, hoisted onto the wolf’s shoulder and marched into the hotel and down the long, winding corridors that led to the personal elevator and, ultimately, Omega’s familiar, frightening office on the top floor. The entire time Jake fidgeted in his position slumped over the man’s shoulder, but he said nothing.\n\nEventually they reached their destination, and Jake was plopped down onto his feet where he stood awkwardly and wobbled on weak knees. He watched helplessly as the office door was closed and then, to his mixture of satisfaction and concern, the skunk was grabbed unkindly by Omega and forced against a wall to be bound in chains and hiked up precariously onto the tips of her toes. And no sooner did the wolf have the lying girl strung up, did he move to his desk to retrieve a peculiar item that Jake had never seen before.\n\nThe naked, restrained rabbit watched with growing worry as Omega stepped around his desk and approached him. Instinctively Jake took a few steps back, fearing that whatever pain-inducing implement the man bore, was intended for him. It looked harmless enough in the wolf’s beefy mitts, but the boy suspected it was capable of great violence, as were many of Omega’s toys no doubt.\n\nOmega was speaking to the air at first, but his words seemed to be addressed to Jake as, once he’d closed the distance and had the frightened cub backed up against a wall, the handle of his curious device was offered to him. Then the wolf proposed that Jake ‘do the honors’ and, with one paw reaching behind the wary and shivering cub, loosened his bondage and allowed the muddled mess of a shirt to slip down his arms and fall to the floor.\n\nJake was wide-eyed with confusion and fright. He stood stock still, back to a wall as Omega loomed before his naked little body holding out the object like he wanted him to take it. The buck was deeply terrified, but at this moment, the uncertainty was greater. His movements were painfully slow as a paw gingerly rose and reached towards the handle of the nine-tailed whip. Gently his fingers wrapped around it and grasped it firmly. Then Omega let go and the full weight of the weapon made Jake’s arm drop slightly.\n\nIt was clear by the look on his face that he didn’t know what he was holding, let alone what to do with it, but a glimpse into those scary yellow eyes showed him that Omega was motioning towards where Candace stood, restrained and looking very worried as Jake’s gaze met hers. What did he want him to do? Did he want Jake to be the one to deliver her punishment? Trembling with fear, the boy side-stepped along the wall a few feet and moved towards the dangling skunk, gaze shifting rapidly between the wolf and Candace and back again.\n\nThis didn’t make any sense, but somewhere deep down, in the darkest part of Jake’s damaged psyche, it felt right. He should be the one to punish Candace, but not for trying to help him escape. Jake wanted to hurt her because she lied. She lied to his face, again and again, and took advantage of him, his body and his over-active instincts. According to Omega it was her job to teach him how to mate, which was probably why she had so consistently been toying with his emotions and manipulating him to breach his natural defenses.\n\nThat alone made him angry enough to want to strike her, but he still hesitated. Part of the reason was he had no idea how to use the item he’d been given, which he’d only assumed up until now was a weapon simply because it was given to him by Omega. It wasn’t a gun or knife, so Jake suspected it was only for wounding and not killing, otherwise the man wouldn’t have so freely offered it. After all, with a weapon in his paw, there was little that would’ve stopped the rabbit from turning on the real culprit in all this. Omega himself. He’d orchestrated this whole thing and Candace was almost as much of a victim of it as he was. But that didn’t temper his hatred towards her.\n\nJake’s uncertain gaze shifted back to Omega who stood nearby grinning as the buck lined himself up behind Candace where she faced the wall. Once he’d come to a stop, the boy couldn’t proceed. He didn’t know how. Didn’t know what to do or if he could even do it. As he wobbled on the spot, fussing with the odd instrument in his paw, the wolf started to mime a vertical swinging action, like he was pretending to throw something. Jake frowned, lowering his gaze to the leather object.\n\nHe was trying to follow Omega’s logic, and it doing so, he slowly raised the nine-tailed whip and mimicked the gesture in the direction of Candace. His aim was poor and his strength minimal, so the thin straps merely grazed the girl’s naked back. Her reaction however was more than he expected and he jumped back a step as if he’d been slapped.\n\n---\n\nThe next few moments as Jake reached up and grasped the tool in his paw intrigued the wolf greatly. It wasn’t his usual style to give any measure of power to his own slaves, yet from the beginning he had been hinting to Jake that he had some level of authority over the “lesser” slaves within the hotel. This was in part to encourage the act of breeding later on, but at this moment, the wolf was quite curious how Jake would handle his power over the girl that, if even only under Omega’s orders, had manipulated and toyed with Jake until the day he would be returned to the hotel.\n\nAlthough Candice knew Jake was upset with her for all she did, she wasn’t sure whether or not Jake would go through with it. She told herself that surely this sweet little cub didn’t have as much hatred for her as he was letting on. Although to her surprise, Jake began to approach with the tool. The skunk tugged lightly at her chains, unable to follow Jake with her restricted gaze as he moved around directly behind her. She could see the conflict within him before he disappeared from her range of vision.\n\nThe next few moments with Jake out of sight were long and tense for the teen, struggling to look directly behind her without success. She wanted to say something, but she knew that anything she said to Jake would probably only make the situation worse. Not only that, but if Jake refused to punish her, Omega would be more than happy to do so in his place. The skunk’s breathing picked up in speed, dancing on her tiptoes to alleviate the discomfort in her wrists, body tense with anticipation.\n\nOmega watched as Jake stared at the whip with confusion in his eyes. He leaned into Jake’s peripheral vision to catch his attention with a demonstrative motion, and to his infinite satisfaction, the cub adjusted his grip, and prepared to strike. The wolf’s grin widened, watching his little breeding slave ready to indulge his desire for vengeance and control.\n\nThe longer it took Jake to strike, the more Candice started to believe that Jake was hesitating, rather than trying to figure out how to use the whip. She didn’t see the motion that Omega had made to Jake. Her focus had shifted from worrying what the boy might do to her after all she had done to him, to trying to take the weight off of her aching wrists.\n\nWhen the strike came, Candice was caught completely off-guard, her back jerking away from the impact of the strike to slap her abdomen against the wall as she screamed with shock. The boy’s weak and inexperienced strike didn’t really hurt, but surely the idea was for Jake to continue doing so until he got the hang of it. If he decided to whip her all night, Omega would gladly indulge the boy.\n\nOmega’s grin widened considerably. He knew there was no pain to that strike. Candice’s reaction was born of the wolf’s most favored emotion. She was breathing vocally, bracing herself for more strikes as Omega offered Jake some coaching.\n\n“Harder. Show me what you can do, Jake. Show me how much pain she and Sid caused you.”\n\n---\n\nThe response to his first swing of the nine-limbed torture tool was accompanied swiftly by pangs of guilt and shame, but at the same time, Jake was rewarded with a sense of justice. He knew his assault to Candace’s exposed back hadn’t been very effective, as he hadn’t actually been aiming for her, but that reaction to the tips of the leather weapon grazing her fur gave him an odd rush of adrenaline. The skunk’s body was unaffected, but her reaction was exhilarating. Already the body was wanting to take another shot, but he still hesitated.\n\nA growing conflict in his damaged psychological state was holding him back. He needed to justify his actions to continue, despite feeling angry enough to wail on her all day. She’d betrayed him. Lied, coerced and manipulated him. All to further her own interests in obtaining freedom. It was infuriating, but… At the same time, Jake was unsure whether he’d have done any different. And that small thread of understanding was his biggest failing. Candace had only sought what he and countless others no doubt wanted more than anything else. Freedom; from Omega in particular, but as a whole as well.\n\nIt was obvious that she’d been manipulated almost as much as he had, by the wolf himself. He’d taken advantage of her desire to escape a life of slavery that she’d been enduring since she was younger than him--if he were to believe her story about the ‘acting’ career that is. Jake couldn’t really blame her for that. The buck had only been in this nightmare for about a week and half and already he was desperate enough that he might do anything to be free of it. It was because of that desperation alone that he was even standing here now with this many-headed whip gripped in his trembling paws.\n\nThere was another aspect to consider as well. He was angry, sure. And striking Candace with this weapon might make him feel better temporarily, but ultimately he took little joy in it. Jake merely wanted to show the girl just how much she’d hurt him. Omega on the other hand, sought only to cause pain and terror for the sake of his own amusement. Right now, the task of punishing the skunk was in his little, inexperienced paws. He wasn’t as strong or as heartless as the wolf; he was just angry and needed to vent his frustrations on something. If he did it in Omega’s stead, Candace wouldn’t suffer nearly as much.\n\nBut did she deserve that mercy?\n\nJake only had a few moments reprieve after his test swing before the wolf nearby openly encouraged him to do it again but harder. Seeing the intense pleasure on Omega’s face only added to the cub’s conflict. He wanted him to do it. Wanted him to punish her. The man sought to fan the flames of Jake’s vengeance by reminding him of the pain both Sid and the girl strung up before him had caused. And it was working. Jake’s trembling jaw tensed and his expression set into one of grim determination. Omega was right, but only because he’d been responsible for the whole thing.\n\nThe poor, struggling buck would’ve more happily turned his weapon on Omega instead, but past experience told him that was a very bad idea. Right now the wolf was egging him on, trying to control him through his anger at Candace, but the second he decided that his captor deserved his wrath more, Omega would undoubtedly come down on him hard. The last thing he wanted to do was disappoint the man at this juncture. He’d begun to find that a happy Omega was a less vicious one, and that deep-seated fear was more than enough to keep the whip and Jake’s attention focused on Candace.\n\nSo he had to rationalize the choice to hurt the girl instead of being hurt himself. And the best way to do that was to assume this was a test he could pass or fail. If he kept hitting Candace with this weapon, Omega would be pleased, of that he had little doubt. But if he decided not to, the repercussions couldn’t be predicted. The wolf might just take over in his stead and viciously beat the skunk, or he might get mad, beat Jake instead and then turn his attention to Candace after. That possibility was easily the worst of the two, and it was enough encouragement to make him raise the whip in preparation for another strike.\n\nHis inner turmoil was clear as day though as he froze for a few seconds, the weapon hovering by his head in his trembling grip. Tears had begun to well up in his eyes before he shut them and swung the cat-of-nine-tails as hard as he could. The many whips hit their mark and Candace screamed in genuine pain this time. Jake flinched sharply and recoiled, nearly dropping the weapon in his disbelief and shame, fresh tears staining the fur of his cheeks. He opened his eyes a moment after to see the skunk swaying slightly and shivering in her bondage, but her black-and-white-haired back seemed little worse for wear.\n\nHe’d half expected to see bloody welts where he hit her, like there’d been after Omega’s violent assault on him that time he’d vomited up his food. But then… he wasn’t as strong as the wolf. His attack probably stung, and in fact he could imagine that burning pain from his past experience, but it wouldn’t scar or disfigure her. That had to be the best he could offer Candace as a show of mercy despite his anger for being manipulated by her. It seemed like the better of both worlds. He got the revenge he wanted and deserved, and she was spared a far worse fate at the claws of Omega.\n\nAs angry as he was, he knew well enough by now to understand that punishment at Omega’s hand was a fate worse than death. And sure… Candace would never have to experience that level of trauma again, where Jake would continue to endure it for a lifetime, but…\n\nThe whip struck Candace’s back again, hard as the buck could swing it before he even realized he’d primed himself for another attack. This time he did drop the weapon as the scream that issued forth from the skunk was heart-crushing. His anger was too real and his desire for retribution more than he could handle. He wanted to punish her, wanted to spare her, but most of all he wanted to hurt the true villain. His paws were tied almost as literally as if that shirt were still forcing his arms behind his back. This wasn’t right. He knew it wasn’t. But he wasn’t sure if he wanted it to be, either.\n\nCandace had hurt him. Humiliated him. But Omega had done so much worse. He’d broken Jake in ways the cub hadn’t even realized, but he couldn’t just stop now. Dropping to his knees with a frantic look in his eyes, the buck scrambled to pick up the whip and stood again, his posture introverted and uncertain. He was suddenly hyper aware of his and Candace’s nudity and it was causing him to struggle with shame and embarrassment. Jake had to hit her again, and again and again, until Omega was satisfied enough not to take over for him, but after using the whip on her three times, he was already crippled by his own sympathy for the girl, who by all rights didn’t deserve it in his mind.\n\nSwallowing the rising lump in his throat, Jake raised his arm again. This time the whip felt like it weighed a hundred pounds though and he struggled to keep it above his head. The buck issued a strained whine, tears streaming down his cheeks until he retracted his stance long enough to wipe both eyes with his free paw. The weapon rose again, and the cub gritted his teeth, trying to cling to his anger and avoid thinking of anything else. The pain, the shame, the injustice.\n\nHe swung the whip again, his arm already beginning to ache from the strain. He didn’t speak, but in his head he was apologizing profusely. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m s-so sorry, he thought over and over as he forced himself to deliver one blow after another, throwing his whole body into each one such that his little boyhood bounced around uncomfortably.\n\n---\n\nAt Omega’s urging, Jake raised the whip again, and once Candice saw the widening grin that resulted, her body tensed, realizing that Jake was indeed planning to strike her again.\n\n“J... “\n\nShe couldn’t try to talk him out of it. She was certain that her voice, to Jake, was a voice which only spouted lies and deceit. The delay of Jake’s swing was agonizing. She knew it was coming, and her heart raced with every second she was so blind and vulnerable to the boy she had betrayed. When the strike finally came, she yelped out before trying to catch her breath. That cute, helpless cub she had gotten to know now had her at his mercy, and fully intended to make her pay for her crimes.\n\nShe wanted to beg Jake to stop. It wasn’t that she didn’t think she deserved his wrath, but she was helpless and scared, a victim of Omega’s cruel game, just as Jake was before. Now the tables had turned and Jake was being manipulated to harm her directly. The next strike slapped directly across the already stinging flesh from the previous strike, even harder than before. Her back arched, her leg lifted against the wall as if she were trying to climb it, and let out a shriek as the surprising power of Jake’s vengeful strike hit its mark.\n\nIt was a strain for Candice to keep that large tail in the path of Jake’s weapon, and the delay before each strike allowed time for that long appendage to droop with fatigue. As Jake knelt to pick up the weapon, Omega quickly remedied the situation, taking off his belt and using it to secure Candice’s tail to one of her legs, keeping it permanently out of the way. The wolf stepped back as Jake rose with the whip again. To his delight, Jake wasn’t finished.\n\nCandice could hear the conflict in Jake’s voice, and she thought this might be her best chance to appeal to Jake’s conflict and get him to stop. Before she could speak, however, Jake snapped the whip across her back again, and again, and again, raising welts and opening them to form bloody streaks across her fur and flesh. Soon, she had emptied her lungs with a steady scream, tears falling down her face, barely able to take in enough of a breath to force her words through her lips.\n\n“Please.. Please... !”\n\nIt seemed Jake didn’t hear her plea, or didn’t care. She slid her body along the wall as far from the source of the pain as possible, but it wasn’t nearly enough to do any good. Omega was leaning back against his desk, just enjoying the show for as long as Jake was willing to perform. \n\nWhen it seemed clear that Jake was finished, the wolf had one more piece of equipment to retrieve, although he was almost certain he wouldn’t be using it this early in Jake’s development. It was an adjustable spreader bar. Omega was almost certain Jake wouldn’t agree to his next suggestion, but it was worth a shot, he thought.\n\n“You can stop now, Jake. You did very well. You’ve earned a long rest and a good meal, my boy. Although.. If you’d like, and if you’re feeling up for it, you can fuck her. This time it will be on your own terms. Use her as you wish, or not. You’re in control now.”\n\n---\n\nBy the time Omega chose to bring an end to the present cycle of abuse, Jake was panting breathlessly with exertion and emotional trauma. The flesh around his eyes was red and irritated and his cheeks soaked by a steady stream of tears that no doubt mirrored Candace’s face. Once he’d forced himself to deliver strike after strike, he’d fallen into a mindless rhythm, so mortified by what he was doing that partway through he could no longer look upon the girl he was assaulting. He was fighting himself the entire time, body trembling and lungs burning as he whimpered before and after each swing of the whip.\n\nMuch as he exercised his power over the girl, exacting a revenge that sailed above and beyond what she really, truly deserved, Jake was deeply torn by his actions. His knuckles ached from his tight grip on the whip and his legs had become rubbery, but he continued his blind attacks until even his meager strength managed to break skin and draw blood. He didn’t realize it however until Omega’s voice reached his ears, permitting him to stop. His response was almost instantaneous as he dropped to his knees, panting heavily. Jake opened his eyes to look at his handiwork, and the sight of fluid shimmering in Candace’s black fur and the very obvious red stains in the white, made him gasp in horror.\n\nThe whip fell from his mortified fingers, hitting the ground more like it had been thrown in disgust. He immediately clasped both paws over his muzzle and whined loudly. Candace was dangling almost limply now, crying and sniffling as her back no doubt burned with immense pain. Pain that Jake himself had caused. She was bleeding and likely scarred, and it was his fault. He did that to her, not Omega. He’d lost himself to his own anger and grief and now he stared in horror at the torment he’d inflicted upon the girl whose only crime was doing as the wolf had told her in the hopes she’d secure her freedom.\n\nHe’d punished her alright. For the one thing he sought as much as she did. Freedom. She’d just wanted the nightmare to end, and for her trouble she’d earned a permanent reminder of the pain she’d caused Jake. The buck was visibly trembling as he hugged himself tightly and sobbed. The sound of her voice still rang in his ears as she’d feebly attempted to sway him from harming her. But he’d ignored it, believing nothing by lies would come forth to manipulate him again into sparing her what he’d felt she deserved.\n\n“I’m… I’m sorry, Candace,” he whined softly, slumping on his knees with his legs spread. He stared hard at the floor where his tears began to accumulate. “I’m s--so sorry…”\n\nEven as the words left his mouth he was conflicted about them. He was feeling immense guilt and regret, but secretly he suspected he’d actually enjoyed showing her the consequences of taking advantage of him. He’d taken some sort of sick pleasure in that power over her. It had given him a sense of authority he’d never felt before, but more importantly, he was finally in control of something for once. Ever since being kidnapped and abused by Omega and his people, Jake had been helpless. Little more than a victim to be tormented. He still was too, but the wolf, for all his horrific flaws, wasn’t above letting his ‘pet’ experience a taste of what he got to relish in every day.\n\nUnfortunately, Jake didn’t know how to feel about all this. Having some control in his awful new life was appealing, but it wasn’t really freedom. It was Omega’s will that he hurt others, because he probably enjoyed coercing the cub into it. In the end he was doing exactly what the wolf wanted, which was precisely the last thing Jake wanted. He hated Omega almost as much as he feared him, and it was that fear that drove him to hurt Candace so viciously, not his desire for payback. And he’d let it happen.\n\nLeaning forward to support his upper body on his paws, Jake stared hard at the floor, jaw trembling as he sobbed softly, disgusted with himself. He’d let his anger get the better of him and now he was no better than Omega, who hurt others for fun. The poor rabbit was crushed, and to make it worse, the wolf came to his side bearing something in his paws as he congratulated Jake on his ruthlessness. The boy shivered visibly, familiar chills running up and down his spine just from being in such close proximity to the predator.\n\nOmega was already planning the next step as he casually offered for Jake not only to continue Candace’s punishment, but to do so in a particularly poetic way by mating with her again on his own terms, where last time he’d been lured into it with the girl’s niceties. The prospect, despite making him sick to his stomach to even consider, was oddly enticing. In his mind, beyond her lies and deceit, the greatest sin she’d committed against him, was taking advantage of him sexually. He hated her for that as much as he hated Omega for the crimes he’d committed against him. Perhaps even more, because he’d actually trusted her.\n\nBut still, Jake was hesitant. He wasn’t sure he could even get aroused, let alone commit to such a heinous act. If he didn’t though, there was a chance that Omega would have his way instead, and after what he’d just done to her, Jake was already feeling guilty enough. He had to weigh his options. He didn’t want to hurt her more if he didn’t have to, and maybe the wolf was satisfied with his efforts so far. She’d been punished now, so… maybe he’d let her go.\n\n“H… Hasn’t she… b-been punished enough?” he squeaked, body tensing as his open paws clenched into fists on the floor. “I… I don’t know if I can… if…” Jake shuddered audibly and squeezed his eyes shut to lock in the fresh tears forming. “I just--want her to go. I-I don’t wanna see her ever again. Please...”\n\n---\n\nBy the time Jake had finished, Candice’s body was writhing from the throbbing pain on her back. She sobbed as the torment ended, barely able to close her muzzle as she sniffled. She had no idea this little bunny was capable of such ferocity, and by the time Jake was finished, Candice’s spirit was just as broken as when she was forced to lie in the trunk with the resentful object of her recent deception.\n\nThe moment Jake apologised to her, however, all of the fear she had been experiencing up to this point disappeared. With Omega pleased and Jake’s rage burned out, she knew there were no more strikes coming her way, causing her to slump against the wall to catch her breath between silent sobs. It took her awhile to respond.\n\nHowever, before she could get the words out, Omega had begun coercing Jake to rape her. Still sore from Omega’s prior abuse, Candice’s exposed slit immediately clenched at those words. She had experienced Jake’s feral lust already, but if he were to indulge again now, she wouldn’t be able to protect herself, especially if her legs were bound in that spreader bar Omega was wielding.\n\nWhen Jake refused, Omega knelt next to Jake and patted the boy lightly on the back. It was a gentle touch, although the wolf didn’t exactly dislike Jake’s consistent reaction to the rapist’s paw touching his naked body anywhere.\n\n“Of course, Jake. The punishment is over, but this isn’t about punishment. This is about your unique privilege to take control and power over any slave you wish. This is about forgetting your misery and just having a bit of fun whenever you want, and with whomever you want. It’s not about punishment, as it never was when I fucked you. It’s about liberating your desires and your senses. She’s here, right now, as YOUR plaything. Besides, eventually you’re going to fuck some females, and sooner or later, you need to learn how to handle them.”\n\nOmega patted between Jake’s ears before standing, leaning the spreader bar against the wall.\n\n“But that can wait. You’ve done well today, and if it’s your wish never to see this girl again, then so be it.”\n\nOmega unlocked the shackles. Candice would have fallen to her knees if there was any room in front of her, but instead, they pushed against the wall, sending her backwards onto her rump, causing her to yelp as she landed on her bound tail. She quickly removed the belt that bound it to her leg, raising her eyes to Omega, who was motioning to the door.\n\n“Well, Candice, you’re free to go.”\n\nCandice remained on the floor a moment longer, knowing she wasn’t really free, just transferred from one master to another, even if the second wasn’t as cruel. Slowly, shakily, the naked skunk stood to her feet, hugging her tail once again. She probably would never be comfortable being naked around anyone again as she slowly shuffled to the door, never looking back as she opened it and shuffled out of the room, and out of Jake’s life, just as he had requested.\n\nOnce the door closed, Omega sat at his desk, activating the intercom.\n\n“Hey chef, have Alex prepare a big victory feast for my boy.”\n\n---\n\nSensing Omega kneel down behind him, Jake was already wincing before that paw made contact with his back ever so briefly. He jumped visibly and hunched his shoulders, ears slumped against his head and twitching fearfully. For a moment he expected the wolf to actually strike him for daring to refuse the offer to rape the girl he'd just beaten.\n\nInstead however, the man seemed to accept his decision, even if it was accompanied by a half-hearted attempt to warm him to the idea by implying it wasn't about punishment but some sort of sick self-gratification instead. Just hearing those words made him shudder and whimper softly, and to top it off, Omega casually reminded him that one day this discussion would arise again and he wouldn't have a choice in the matter. The wolf wanted Jake to mate and spread his genes to future offspring. A concept which still twisted his insides whenever it was brought up.\n\n“B… but I don't… I don't wanna mate,” he moaned quietly, but Omega had already returned to his feet and stepped away, setting the spreader bar aside before releasing Candace from her bondage and addressing her.\n\nThe girl struck the ground painfully enough to make Jake cringe sympathetically, but he couldn't bring himself look at her again. Not after what he'd done. Her back was a bloody mess and despite the pain it caused her she fussed to remove the belt that restricted her tail, slowly rose to her feet and moved to leave. Jake listened to the soft sound of her footsteps as she slipped out of the room, never to be seen again.\n\nHe already missed her. She hadn't even gone that far and already he regretted everything that had happened. Regretted especially demanding that she leave. With her no longer present it was just Jake and Omega in the office and that wolf was the last creature he wanted to be left alone with. He trembled visibly before calling after the girl in a squeaky voice filled with grief.\n\n“I'm sorry!”\n\nWhether she heard or not he didn't know, but the fact was she was gone now, the door closed behind her. Meanwhile Omega had already returned to his desk and sat down. There was only a moment of silence before the familiar crackle of the intercom reached Jake's ears. His heart lifted slightly at the promise of food, but with how lonely he was suddenly feeling in Candace’s absence, he found himself looking forward to seeing Alex again.\n\nEars perking up, Jake leaned back onto his haunches and turned slightly to glimpse Omega out of the corner of his eye. He didn't dare address Omega directly, so instead he spoke to the floor, shivering in worried anticipation of the wolf's answer.\n\n“W-will Alex be…” he started to say before blushing. It suddenly felt foolish to seek companionship with the mouse so soon after he'd brutally harmed someone else. “I-I don't want to eat alone... Please?”\n\n---\n\nOmega smirked as Jake meekly asked if Alex could join him in his feast, letting out a slight chuckle. He was going to send Alex away after delivering the meal, but Jake had been quite cooperative in punishing Candice, and thus had taken a very large step in his training by willingly inflicting pain on her. The wolf was willing to grant just about any request to reward the young buck. If Jake had asked Omega for a blowjob.. well, the chances of Omega accepting that were less than slim, but he would have at least considered it for a few seconds.\n\n“Why the hell not, kid. You’ve earned it.” Omega’s finger clicked onto the intercom again. “Hey chef, double that order, if you would.”\n\nOmega stood from his desk as the acknowledgement came through, swiping up the keys from the corner of his desk and making his way over to Jake’s cell, which had been empty for two days. The place had been recently cleaned, and the mattress wiped down and disinfected, however, the blood stains remained, including the fresh, relatively new ones from Omega and Jake’s struggle before he was sent away.\n\nOmega allowed Jake the choice of waiting in his cell, or in the office as Alex was preparing their meal. Alex eventually arrived with a double-helping of salad, cheese, lots of bread, carrots, a big enough bowl of fruit slices for both cubs to eat their fill, and an assortment of dressings and spices. The two cubs couldn’t hope to finish this meal in one sitting. It would take them all night. A big bottle of juice with plastic cups was among the feast, but one lone glass stood out to Omega.\n\n“Is that.. wine?”\n\n“Chef’s idea.. He said Jake could probably use some alcohol, but.. I don’t know what he means.”\n\nAlex responded nervously as Omega rubbed his chin. Cubs didn’t usually enjoy the taste of alcohol. It seemed like just a waste of money to him, but a part of him was curious if Jake would actually try it.\n\n“Well I’m going to have to have a little chat with the chef later about wasting drinks. So, Alex, do you know who the extra helpings are for?”\n\n“N.. No, sir.”\n\n“You and Jake can share the feast tonight.”\n\n“R.. Really? Th-Thank you!”\n\n“Oh don’t think me.” Omega’s approving gaze shifted to Jake. “Jake has earned a big reward today, and he chose to share it with you. Now, in you go.”\n\nOmega ushered Alex towards the cell. The rodent smiled as his eyes met Jake’s for the first time since the bunny’s absence, though he tried to hide his enthusiasm a little. As much as he was happy to see Jake again, Alex understood that Jake probably wasn’t happy to be back in the presence of the evil wolf, however generous he was being at the moment. They both knew it wouldn’t last.\n\n---\n\nThe wolf’s smirk didn’t go unnoticed by the nervous cub, as he worriedly expected some twisted answer that would likely imply an ulterior motive. Instead, however, what Jake got was overwhelming approval. It honestly surprised the buck greatly to see Omega, ever the cruel and heartless monster, suddenly perking up and behaving so jovial, like he was on top of the world. The act of coercing the cub into exacting his revenge must’ve made the man happier than he realized. Jake had already figured out that the man took great pleasure in humiliating, abusing and otherwise traumatizing him, but he had no idea just how nice he could be when he wanted to.\n\nNot only had the tone of his voice changed, ringing with an unfamiliar sincerity that hadn’t even been present on the day before Jake’s virginity was taken, but in his newfound generosity, Omega called the chef back to double the quantity of food to be prepared. At that, Jake’s head turned to completely face the wolf, eyes wide and mouth open in awe. Already the regret he’d felt for Candace began to soften. Something that hadn’t caused him any physical harm--aside from what he did to himself--had made Omega so much more agreeable to Jake’s requests, that the buck found himself wanting, even craving the idea of obeying in exchange for a nicer rapist.\n\nThis actually wasn’t even the first example of the wolf’s kindness in the face of doing as he was told. When he’d stolen that key several days ago, Jake had found himself in a similar situation where he had the choice between obeying and disobeying. And even despite his ‘crime’ and that particular day being a ‘special’ one, doing as he was told spared him. So as far as the buck was concerned that was confirmation. Already though, the suddenly manipulative rabbit was wondering how it might work to his advantage. He didn’t have to think long, fortunately, as Omega had risen from his desk, scooped up his keys and proceeded to open Jake’s cell. The buck winced, anticipating that the wolf would instruct him to enter.\n\nBut he didn’t. In fact, after opening the door, Omega didn’t say a word as he returned to his desk to wait for Alex’s arrival. Jake found himself staring directly at the wolf, dumbfounded and fascinated rather than afraid like he’d been ever since he met him. It was easier for him to do so thanks to distance and the fact the man was mostly faced away from him, keeping that scary face from inciting terror. He realized then that this was the first time he’d really looked at Omega closely. He was still scary, no doubt about it, but there was a lighter quality to him presently.\n\nIt might’ve just been his hopeful imagination, but he preferred what he saw right now over what had been the stuff of nightmares before. Granted, Jake still couldn’t stare at that face for very long, especially with just the hint of those yellow eyes possibly looking back at him. He looked away sharply and shuddered before spotting his abandoned shirt on the floor. At the sight more possible requests flooded into his mind to fill the void made by Omega’s face. In growing confidence, the buck crawled on hands and knees over to the shirt, picking it up and holding it to his abdomen as something to hide his nakedness.\n\nNaturally, Jake would’ve preferred putting it on instead, but he wasn’t ready yet to test what Omega was willing to allow. So he waited near the door to the wolf’s office where, some ten minutes later, Alex emerged through it, wheeling a cart into the room that bore so much delicious-looking food that Jake’s mouth watered at the sight. He couldn’t help following behind the mouse as he moved further into the room, trailing that delectable earthy aroma of greens. After the emotional distress he’d been put through, the rabbit was practically starving now. And with so much food at his disposal, there’d be more than enough for both cubs; Jake also suspected Alex would be very appreciative of the current spread over his usual diet.\n\nThe eight-year-old rabbit had just risen to his feet, holding the rumpled shirt over his groin meekly as he observed the exchange between Alex and Omega. The wolf had remarked on a bottle of something he called wine and which the mouse identified as alcohol. He knew what alcohol was, but he was left just as baffled by what the chef had meant as Alex himself was. The buck’s curiosity was peaked though, daring to take a step forward with his nose twitching enthusiastically.\n\nThough Omega didn’t sound amused by the prospect of there being a bottle of wine on the menu, he changed the topic in favor of informing the mouse that he’d be dining with Jake today; news which was received so well that the buck couldn’t help but smile and nibble one of his lips sheepishly. He’d actually almost forgotten about the horrific thing he’d done to Candace to even earn this, but when Omega began ushering Alex into Jake’s cell, the fresh memories quickly returned and with it came the flood of demands he sought. Number one on the list was avoiding that tiny cell for as long as he could.\n\n“W-wait!” he said suddenly, louder than he intended, which caused him to slap a free paw over his muzzle when both creatures turned to face him. “I--uhm… was… w-wondering if we could, uh… eat out… here? A--alone. J-j-just for a little while.” Jake was visibly nervous, shoulders hunched, voice cracking and ears lowered defensively. It felt like a huge risk to push his luck, but he wanted to try. “W-w-w-we could sit on th--the couch. W-would that be okay, Omega?”\n\n---\n\nAs Omega approached the cubs to usher them into Jake’s cell, and Jake suddenly halted their progress before clasping his paws over his muzzle, Omega was pleased. He was pleased to see that, even as Jake didn’t feel particularly threatened at this moment, his instinctual fear was still prodding at the surface. Jake made his proposal nervously, but as he made it, Omega frowned, staring down at Jake as he considered this request for a moment.\n\n“Jake, I’ll let you eat your meal out here, but I’m not leaving either of you alone in my office.. unless..”\n\nAt first, the wolf was displeased that rewarding the young buck meant that he would have to stay in his office to supervise the two. Omega had things to get done. He had to step out of his office soon to, among other errands, conclude the deal with Sid, but if he continued to reinforce Jake’s violent assault on Candice, he would have to remain in his office to babysit the two slaves. However, an idea struck him that the two cubs might not find very appealing, but would perhaps rather agree to than be shut in that cell.\n\nThe wolf walked over to the couch, reaching below it and picking up two shackles, adjusting their length to give them a fair amount more reach than they had when Alex was chained to the couch for one of Jake’s breeding lessons.\n\n“If you both wear these shackles on your ankles, you can eat here. Deal?”\n\nOmega jingled the chains a bit as he waited for a reply. Alex lowered his ears, but it didn’t take him long to start towards the couch, assuming Jake would also find it a better alternative than eating in that cell, although he hesitated when he got close, remembering what happened last time he was chained up on that couch. He was more than willing to do it if Jake agreed, but it still made him a bit uneasy.\n\n---\n\nHearing his name spoken in that familiar tone that suggested Omega wasn’t pleased with his demands, Jake winced inwards on himself. He fully expected his plan to backfire, with the wolf perhaps threatening some frightening fate if he didn’t get into his cell immediately. Fear of the man was still very strong in Jake, so a new tone and a single kind gesture wasn’t going to make him forget everything that had happened. Which was why he’d kept a considerable distance from the wolf when the query was posed, an instinctive preparation in case his body compelled him to bolt away from an impending assault.\n\nFortunately, what followed was considerably less disheartening than being struck or threatened. Omega was actually receptive to the idea, but apparently, perhaps as a result of Jake’s previous transgression, he wasn’t willing to leave them by themselves. Jake’s expression along with his ears drooped in response, but they didn’t hang there long before perking up again, slightly. He’d opened negotiations and now the wolf was going to bargain. The rabbit was hopeful, and rather concerned as well, regarding what the consequence of their temporary accommodation would be.\n\nWatching intently, Jake observed Omega moving towards the couch and reaching beneath it for something that rattled and clanked loudly as he fussed with it. After only a few moments, the cub already had a good idea what he was going for and his ears wilted again, just a little. The wolf extracted two shackled coupled with their chains, which had been extended enough to give the pair limited mobility, ensuring they wouldn’t be making any trips across the room, let alone be able to escape unwanted physical contact. It was a big risk in Jake’s mind, even though Alex had already weighed the decision and seemed to have made up his.\n\nThe buck stood by while the mouse moved towards the couch, hesitant but voluntarily. Jake took a little longer to start moving, his paws holding the shirt over his loins firmly as he eyed Omega and the swinging chains that made the shackles clatter against one another. He wasn’t fond of being chained to the same couch where he’d been forced to hurt Alex, but anything was better than being trapped in that tiny room waiting fearfully for the next time it would open and admit the subject of his worst nightmares.\n\n“O… Okay…” he said slowly, his footsteps taking longer each time the closer he drew to Omega. His instincts had not gone away, and the willful approach towards a predator was triggering his fight or flight response. In the wild it would’ve been a death wish to allow a wolf or a fox or even a dog close enough to bite, but Jake was trying to base his decision on objective logic. A shackle was better than a stuffy cell, and there was a slim chance he and Alex might be able to escape their bondage out here whereas that door was impenetrable.\n\nSo against his instinctual fear and rising hackles, the buck joined Alex as they both found a spot on the couch. Jake was trembling visibly within such proximity to Omega and his musk, but he remained stationary, only offering a noticeable flinch when the shackle snapped shut around his right ankle and Alex’s left. Immediately following, the wolf reached for the shirt the cub was still clinging to, but he withdrew it from reach with a hunch of his shoulders.\n\n“Ah!... Um… C-c-could I keep it?” he asked nervously.”F-f-f-for now?” He added the second part quickly, as he strongly doubted Omega would ever let him keep any scrap of clothing indefinitely.\n\n---\n\nOmega’s smirk returned as he witnessed Alex’s hesitation. The wolf had noticed that Alex had been much more careful when handling food since Omega forced Jake to rape him over the dropped meal. Being shackled to the couch with Jake nearby was going to take a little while for Alex to get used to. The rodent covered his privates with his paws once the shackle was snapped onto his ankle. He remained that way as Omega did the same with Jake.\n\nOnce the shackle was in place, Omega lifted his gaze to the privates of his little slaves, both covered. He rather liked the sight of Alex’s teasing modesty, but Jake was still clinging to the very shirt he had been bound with for his trip back to the hotel. The gift of clothing from Candice and Sid was only meant to be a temporary one, as it was with the clothing Jake received in the suite on his first night ravaged by his captor.\n\nOmega didn’t intend for Jake to remain covered by clothing for this long, even if he wasn’t wearing it, so he reached for it, raising his gaze to Jake as the otherwise naked cub retracted the shirt from the wolf’s grasp, asking to hold onto it for now, to which Omega raised a finger.\n\n“For now..”\n\nAs Omega stood to retrieve the tray of food and move it within reach of the hungry cubs, he started to wonder if there was a reward he could offer substantial enough to entice Jake to rape an innocent female, someone younger than him who had never wronged him as Candice did. He couldn’t even get Jake to rape her despite all she had done, but that was to be expected.\n\nOmega thought back to that moment before Jake began to strike Candice, and he remembered a certain subtlety in his movements that Omega missed at first, which gave the wolf an idea. Although Omega wasn’t particularly fond of what he had come up with, it still made him grin as he thought of how it might progress Jake’s training one more giant leap. He didn’t bother to hide the grin either, although neither cub’s eyes usually rose as high as his face.\n\nResolving to put his next plan into action tomorrow, he fuzzled the tops of both cubs’ heads briefly before stepping away.\n\n“Enjoy your meal. Alex can stay with you tonight and you can take what you can’t finish into your cell later. I’ll be back a little later to check up on you two.”\n\nWith that, Omega exited the office, leaving the cubs with their tray packed full of food and drink. As soon as Omega was no longer in the room, Alex immediately relaxed, moving his paws away from his privates and raising his paws slightly, eyes scanning back and forth over the feast he had helped prepare. He wasn’t sure what to eat first. Glancing towards Jake for a moment, Alex then reached, a little slowly, as if Omega was going to burst in and punish him if he touched anything, towards the bowl of fruit.\n\nAlex picked up a cube of watermelon, moving it ever so cautiously towards his muzzle, eyes shifting towards the office door. Eventually he loaded the fruit into his muzzle and slowly crushed the cube with his tongue and the roof of his mouth, letting out a soft sound of approval as he let the juices fill his mouth. Once he had eaten his first bite, his caution slowly disappeared, and he began to help himself to the ample portions in front of him.\n\n---\n\nFor a tense moment Jake had regretted pulling the bundled up shirt out of Omega’s reach, expecting a violent retaliation. He shook on the spot, head turning to the side, one eye closed and ears pressed firmly against his back. The buck was almost certain the wolf wouldn’t let him keep the shirt, despite the concession he’d made to allow the pair to stay in his office unsupervised. So once more he was surprised when Omega raised a finger and restated Jake’s last two words. He sounded tense though, like he wasn’t terribly pleased by the frequency of the rabbit’s requests.\n\nLuckily, he conceded though, much to Jake’s immense relief. As soon as Omega backed away to retrieve the cart of food and move it closer, the buck lowered his gaze again, avoiding the sight of the grin that formed on the wolf’s face shortly before he ruffled the head hair of the two cubs, making the suddenly uncomfortable. Chills ran up Jake’s spine in response to the physical contact, but he stayed perfectly still and tensed his muscles as Omega offered some parting words that included a promise to check in on them later.\n\nAfter that, both cubs waited in nervous silence as the massive wolf in his business suit, slipped out of the room and shut the door behind him. All at once Jake and Alex relaxed visibly, with the rabbit letting out a deep, grateful sigh. Omega was gone, they were alone and neither of them had to be trapped inside that small cell to eat their generous meal. Jake was amazed by how well that had worked. Each time he’d expected the worst, as his previous week of imprisonment had taught him to all too well, Omega shocked him by permitting him his soft-spoken demands with barely a second thought.\n\nHaving won so many small victories in so little time, Jake was suddenly feeling more confident, perhaps even a little brave. It seemed hard to imagine that someone like Omega would bow to his will simply because he’d done as he was told. It was exhilarating; like he actually had some real power for once, and over the man who’d caused him so much pain, no less. For once Jake was actually smiling with genuine happiness. It was almost like he could forget all the torment he’d endured, despite some of those old pains still haunting him even now.\n\nThe best part of the whole situation however, was that he had Alex to talk to. He wasn’t alone and afraid for the first time in days. Even the mouse seemed to be quite content once Omega had left. The hungry little rodent was already reaching for a piece of fruit to eat, albeit hesitantly at first. Once he’d gotten a taste of that sweet melon chunk though, his remaining tensions eased and Jake watched with a growing satisfaction as Alex began digging into their vegetarian delight. There was just one last thing the buck needed to do, mostly for himself in the hopes of bringing some closure to the horrific deed that had earned him this feast and welcome company.\n\n“Hey… Alex,” he said softly, paws scrunching up the shirt before he raised it in one arm and extended it towards the mouse. “I want you to wear it for now, okay? It--it’s okay. You’ve… been here longer than me, and… and I know I missed it. So… I mean if you want to, that is… I--I understand if you’re used to being… well… like this. But I… I like t’think that it makes me safe. Y’know?”\n\n---\n\nAlex couldn’t have been happier at this moment. The last time he had come close to feeling this happy was when he stayed up all night with Jake playing that handheld gaming device, only this time it didn’t immediately follow something horrible on his end. The rodent was only allowed to make a small meal for himself, once a week, as long as he didn’t make any mistakes. Any time he ever saw a meal this big, it was always going to someone else. He could only fantasize about eating it himself.\n\nHe didn’t know what Jake had done to earn such a reward, and he didn’t want to ask. The little white mouse just picked around the plate of food, taking mouthfuls of fruits, salad, and bread. Although eager, the little rodent was careful not to drop any of the food that he had picked up, his expression tense when a bit of salad nearly fell from his plastic fork. However, he prevented the food from falling, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued eating.\n\nThirsty, Alex was reaching for the bottle of juice when Jake got his attention. The shirt, which was temporarily left in Jake’s possession as another of Omega’s rewards for whatever Jake had done, was being offered to him, just as the food was. Alex’s eyes fell to the shirt, blushing deeply at Jake’s gesture before slowly reaching out with his paw. He wasn’t sure what Omega would think of Alex wearing the shirt that the wolf only said that Jake could keep, but eventually he grasped the fabric, and paused.\n\n“Y.. You’re so nice!”\n\nWith that, the rodent suddenly wrapped his arms around the now naked bunny, giving him a quick hug before fussing with the shirt. It had been a very long time since he had worn one. He slipped the shirt over his head, not realizing he was putting it on backwards. He didn’t notice or care, though. It just barely reached the tip of his sheath. His privates were still exposed, but the mouse still felt less vulnerable with the small amount of protection the clothing had provided.\n\nAlex’s spirits were as high as ever, even if he had to pull the back of the collar off of his neck every now and then. It was a minor nuisance as he poured himself a cup of fruit juice from the bottle and took a big gulp, squeaking into the cup as he pulled it away. The liquid was still too cold to be gulped down so fast.\n\n---\n\nThe look on Alex’s face when he realized that he was being offered clothing, lifted Jake’s heart considerably. He was quite startled though when the smaller mouse suddenly threw himself at him. The buck wasn’t prepared for such an overwhelming response. A squeak of surprise and an abruptly rigid posture was all he could offer when Alex embraced him so readily, despite what Omega had once forced him to do to him. It was the first time either cub had actually made any real physical contact with each other since they’d been forced into that sick game. But honestly, seeing the younger cub grateful and fearless in his presence did so much to ease his own tensions.\n\nBut still, there was a lingering doubt in the back of his mind. He hadn’t forgotten what he did to get all this. That guilt wouldn’t stop eating at him as he watched Alex take the shirt eagerly and pull it over and down past his big round ears. The boy was so excited to have something to wear. It reminded Jake of when he’d gotten to spend a day of luxury alone, fully clothed in a pair of comfy pajamas. He’d loved it and for just a little while had been able to forget about all the cruelties committed against him.\n\nUnfortunately, however, that day ended and the next had something so horrifying to offer that even now, Jake couldn’t sleep without suffering from nightmares in which he relived that first, brutal rape where his virginity was stolen away. The rabbit visibly slumped as awful memories surfaced and assaulted him. He didn’t want Alex to see him upset, so Jake reached for a bowl of fruit slices and plopped it onto his lap over his own naked groin to eat while he observed the mouse.\n\nThe shirt had been big on him, so it was even bigger on the rodent, but it still failed to cover his boyhood, which Jake found himself staring at for a few moments. Alex wasn’t shy about his privates being exposed like his older counterpart still was, so nothing stopped the rabbit from taking in the sight of that little, pink-tipped sheath and the modest, fuzzy orbs that were squished up beneath it thanks to the boy’s thighs. He remembered having to touch that part of his friend when Omega was forcing him to molest the poor cub.\n\nMore bad memories flooded his mind and the buck turned away, staring at his food as he popped piece after piece into his mouth in a near steady stream. As predicted his happiness was only temporary and now he was starting to feel bad again. He wanted to enjoy this moment, alone with his only friend in this terrible place while they ate in the comfort of Omega’s office as opposed to Jake’s tiny cell, but unfortunately his traumatized brain had other, more pressing thoughts to focus on.\n\nNamely, what was going to happen when Omega came back. He knew this freedom and indulgence wouldn’t last. Even if the vile wolf gave him a reprieve for the rest of the day, there was still tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. Just thinking about it was nerve-racking. He needed something to get his mind off these thoughts about the future, as they never led to anything good. So, while he was helping himself to the contents of the bowl, he tried to strike up some conversation with Alex.\n\n“So… how’ve you… been?” he asked and immediately winced. In a place like this that was by far the worst question to ask. “I--I mean… n-n-nevermind… Th-that’s stupid to ask… Sorry.” Looking away with a blush, Jake’s attention then drifted to the food cart where the bottle of wine resided. He’d had some questions about it, and although Alex might not provide the most informative of answers, he voiced them anyway.\n\n“That uhm… That stuff there,” he said, pointing to the bottle. “The… alcohol? W-why did the chef make you bring it? And… why did he want me to have it? Omeg--uhm… he didn’t... seem very happy about it.”\n\n---\n\nAlex froze as Jake asked him how he had been. Jake immediately withdrew that question. Outwardly he shook his head when Jake apologised for asking, but inwardly that question brought up some recent trauma for the rodent. Without Jake around, Omega’s attention was focused on Alex more. He dreaded having to bring food to Omega the past couple of days, because nearly every time he did, he had been molested, or raped without Jake nearby to sate any immediate urges.\n\nSure, Omega had other slaves to play with, and he did so, but ever since Jake’s first time in the hotel room, Omega’s attention was less on the rodent than before, or after Jake had been taken away by Sid. Jake had been so nice to him that he couldn’t possibly blame his friend for those horrible things Omega did to him, but a small part of him was glad that Omega had Jake back in his grasp, and that he, himself, wouldn’t be tormented as much anymore. He hated thinking about it that way, though, and it made him feel ashamed until Jake changed the subject.\n\nAlex’s attention shifted to the wine glass on the tray. He had never tasted wine himself, either, and had no idea what the chef meant when he said that Jake probably needed it.\n\n“I don’t know, but.. you know how Omega doesn’t.. like to... waste food…” Alex shuddered at that thought “I don’t know why he’s so annoyed about giving you the wine when he’s giving you all of this food anyway…”\n\nAlex’s gaze was fixed on the glass of wine. With Jake raising the conversation about it, Alex was suddenly very curious.\n\n“I know it’s made with grapes.. and adults in the restaurant ask for it a lot.. maybe it’s just really really good grape juice?”\n\nAlex started to reach for the glass, stopping short, his curiosity so high, he had to sate it.\n\n“Um.. I know it’s supposed to be only for you, but do you mind if I have just a little taste?”\n\nWith no objections, the mouse took the wine glass, hovering over it, nose twitching as he moved it closer to smell the liquid inside. He wrinkled his nose a bit at the strange smell.\n\n“It doesn’t really smell like grape juice, but…”\n\nAlex brought the glass to his lips, and took some of the liquid into his mouth. His eyes widened and he pulled the glass away, sealing his lips to avoid making a mess by spitting the vile stuff out. He tried to swallow it, but couldn’t bring himself to take in all of it, some slipping down his windpipe, causing him to cough up the remainder of the wine in his mouth, staining his white fur as he put the glass back on the tray, eyes watering from a coughing fit before finally managing to voice a strained observation.\n\n“That doesn’t.. taste like.. grape juice at all!”\n\nAlex began coughing again before finally clearing his throat of the burning intrusion.\n\n“Bleh! Why do adults like that stuff so much?”\n\n---\n\nAs Alex inadvertently brought up bad memories about the last time food had been wasted, both cubs were visibly perturbed; Jake more so as he’d been the object of Omega’s rage that time he’d vomited up his thoughtfully prepared meal. The mouse continued on, but the mention of their generous spread and why the wolf would’ve been so displeased in light of it, made Jake shrink inward on himself slightly. He knew the reason for Omega’s generosity, but he dreaded the thought of telling his friend. If he found out what the buck had done, there was a very likely chance Alex would be horrified and afraid of him again. That was the last thing he wanted.\n\nFor now, his friend seemed to have become distracted by the wine in question, so Jake wouldn’t have to divulge the secret to winning over Omega’s heart. If he even had one. The buck watched quietly as Alex eyed the glass, offering up what limited knowledge he had about the substance that was gripping their curiosity. Jake nodded slowly in response, but he wasn’t sure if his companion had it right. The rabbit remembered one time when he’d found an empty bottle of beer, and when he picked it up to smell the remnants of its contents he’d nearly vomited. Alcohol as he understood it both smelled and tasted awful.\n\nHe didn’t know if the same pertained to this drink Omega had referred to as wine, but clearly Alex was eager to try. The rodent was already reaching for the glass when he stopped himself short and asked permission to taste it. Jake made a face of uncertainty, as he wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, but he didn’t say no. Instead, he watched as the younger boy helped himself to the wine-glass and sniffed it.\n\nJake could see the mouse’s snout wrinkle at the bitter smell from where he sat, which made him wince instinctively. Despite his suggestion that perhaps it was just really tasty grape juice, Alex quickly determined that it didn’t smell at all like the fruit in question. Nonetheless, he was still willing to give it a taste and Jake leaned towards him as he brought to glass to his mouth and sipped.\n\nThe response to the awful taste was so sudden and startling, that Jake jerked backwards in surprise before he could even consider Alex’s wellbeing. He watched in fright as the mouse gagged and spluttered, trying not to make a mess as he replaced the glass on the tray and struggled with his mouthful of wine. Ultimately, Alex ended up losing the red-tinted fluid all over his naked front, staining his fur quite obviously. With growing concern, Jake leaned close again, snatching a napkin off the food cart to gingerly dab at the mess on his friend’s chest as he coughed and groaned in protest.\n\nAs willing to take Alex’s word on the unpleasant taste of the drink, which he clearly stated was nothing like grape juice at all, Jake’s own curiosity hadn’t been sated yet. As he eyed the dark red liquid in its oddly shaped glass, the mouse coughed some more and expressed his disbelief for grown-ups who liked the stuff. The buck wasn’t entirely convinced that it was bad though. Why would adults drink it all the time, if it was?\n\n“M… maybe it’s like… an acquired taste,” Jake suggested. “I dunno, but… if it really tastes that bad, there must be some reason grown-ups like to drink it. Here…. L-let me try.”\n\nReaching out, the rabbit picked up the wine glass and held it close to his face to sniff it like Alex had. It had a very familiar, unpleasant smell, like the beer had. His curiosity drove him to take a chance though. If adults liked the stuff so much, it must make them happy. And with how miserable he was feeling right now, he desperately wanted to feel better. He didn’t take a big mouthful like his unfortunate friend had, though. Instead he stuck his tongue into the liquid and lapped up a small quantity.\n\nImmediately Jake’s face scrunched up like he’d just bitten into a lemon. The alcohol tasted absolutely disgusting and it was already trying to trigger his gag reflex, but the buck tensed his muscles, breathed deeply through twitching nostrils and swallowed the awful substance. He gasped loudly the second his mouth was empty and coughed several times, a paw over his muzzle. After working his tongue around and resisting the urge to gag, he shuddered with revulsion.\n\n“Ugh… It tastes like arm-pits,” he groaned. “Maybe we just… have to get used to it.” As he said this, Jake popped a fresh fruit into his mouth to clear his palette of the disgusting taste. “I mean… I’m sure the chef had a reason for giving it to me… right? He’s not… mean like Omega, is he?”\n\n---\n\nAs Jake turned his attention to the glass of wine, Alex resumed Jake’s effort of wiping the red substance off of his chin and chest. There was still a hint of pink on his fur, but the rodent only knew that he didn’t feel the wetness anymore. He shrugged at Jake’s suggestion of it being an acquired taste. He didn’t know what that meant, other than adults seemed to say that about anything that just tasted bad.\n\nHe watched Jake take the glass, curious if his friend would have a different opinion of the stuff than he did, or if there was some reason adults liked the taste of it and not cubs. He was starting to think he didn’t want to be an adult if it meant he would start enjoying something as foul-tasting as this wine. Jake’s method was far more cautious, and Alex was starting to wish he had just tasted it with his own tongue instead of taking so much of it into his mouth.\n\nAlex giggled at Jake’s assessment of the drink, taking a big gulp of cold juice to wash away the lingering taste. He shook his head as Jake seemed to believe it wouldn’t be so bad if they just got used to it.\n\n“You can try to get used to it if you want. I’m not gonna drink anymore. Bleh!”\n\nAlex resumed taking in the sustenance from the tray, although it took awhile for anything to taste the way it normally did without the lingering taste of alcohol on his tongue. Jake’s curiosity was soon directed at the chef he hadn’t met. Alex had to pause and think about that question for a moment. The chef wasn’t AS mean as Omega, but he couldn’t say that he wasn’t mean.\n\n“Well, chef doesn’t hit me, or rape me, or anything, but he does yell a lot and calls me mean names. If I make just a small mistake he.. well, normally I get to make regular food for myself one day a week. The rest of the time, I eat that tasteless stuff they feed to the rest of the slaves. If I do something wrong, or say something chef doesn’t like, then I can’t make anything for myself that week. It’s hard not to make mistakes for a whole week, though, and if I make him mad more than once, he sometimes just sends me to Omega.”\n\n---\n\nThe mouse’s refusal to try anymore of the alcohol was a little disheartening, but at the same time Jake was thinking ‘more for me’. If this stuff could make him happy, he might be able to forget about Omega and what he’d done to Canace. Though perhaps that might be attributing magical properties to the drink, his desperation encouraged consumption. He was already considering having another taste despite its vile flavor when Alex answered his question about the chef.\n\nAs Jake listened to the rodent describing the nameless chef’s personality, the cub found himself wincing in response to Alex’s mention of certain words. Hit. Rape. Mad. Omega. They sent chills up his spine. He was frowning by the time the boy finished. The chef didn’t sound like a nice person at all. Far from it. Though he was nowhere near as bad as the wolf. Still… if the man Alex had to deal with on a daily basis was so cruel, then why would he offer something that might get him into trouble with Omega? Jake concluded that it must be something valuable.\n\nDespite his distrust and uncertainty, Jake had brought the wine glass to his lips without even realizing it, and was taking big, straining gulps of the liquid before he could stop himself. After the last gulp, he pulled away from the glass with a gasp and a revolted groan. His mouth and throat burned and tasted awful to the point of making his shudder visibly. The rabbit had ingested a third of the contents before coming to his senses, and now he was stuffing his mouth with fruit slices to put out the revolting fires in his maw.\n\nHe chewed and worked through the fresh produce for a solid fifteen seconds before he could swallow and take several deep breaths. The rabbit looked distressed and confused. His body had already begun tingling and his vision grew just a little fuzzier. He didn’t realize it until now, but his reaction had come almost entirely as a result of Alex’s mention of Omega, because it lead to a terrifying realization. That even if the wolf ever decided not to keep him for himself anymore, there was still a chance he’d be sent to him anyway.\n\nOnce he’d finally recovered, Jake looked to Alex with wide eyes, breathing heavily.\n\n“He… he can do that?” he squeaked. “S-send you to Omega? Just like that? Hah… There’s no escaping him… is there?”\n\nTears welled up in his eyes as he looked away, a paw raising to wipe them.\n\n“That stuff is awful, he groaned. “I s-shouldn’t have had any more…”\n\nWhen he looked back at Alex, he was meeting the boy’s gaze as much as he could, concern on his face. He’d known whenever the poor mouse had been subject to Omega’s abuse while he was here, but after Sid ‘rescued’ him… Looking nervous, Jake asked softly, “W-what about the last two days? While I was… Omega, did he…?”\n\n---\n\nAs Jake continued to force that vile liquid down his throat, Alex picked up a grape from the fruit bowl, giving it a sniff and then popping it into his mouth. Just as he had concluded before, the grapes and the wine tasted like two completely different things. He shook his head. It was such a puzzle to him, and he wondered what could possibly change something’s taste so drastically.\n\nAlex turned to Jake with a puzzled expression as he seemed to be mildly joking about how Omega’s abuse seemed to be a part of Alex’s life no matter what he did. He was more confused than upset by Jake’s fake laugh, since he had never known Jake to talk about Omega with anything other than fear or anger.\n\nIt wasn’t long after that Jake looked as if he was beginning to cry. Alex could only look on and the cub’s mood shifted from being upset, to seemingly disgusted by the drink, and then Jake’s nervousness returned quickly. Already, Alex didn’t know how to respond, but then came a question that caught him off guard.\n\n“Wh.. I… he was… I.. I mean I..”\n\nTaken by surprise, Alex was stammering at first. His reaction was less towards the question itself, and more towards the fact that mere moments ago, Jake started to ask such a question to spark conversation and then immediately withdrew it. Jake’s behavior wasn’t what he was used to, but at the moment, he couldn’t think of a reason for it.\n\nStill, he didn’t want to outright refuse to answer, but neither did he want to give any indication that Jake’s absence caused him more pain than usual, and his presence made it less so, and only because of Omega’s abuse being directed more at Jake.\n\n“W-Well let’s not worry about Omega right now. It’s just us right now, and all this food, and maybe we can play some more of your games when he makes us go back into the cell, too.”\n\n---\n\nStaring at Alex with unusual intensity, the buck was clearly not falling for his friend’s attempt to avoid answering the question. If anything, his dodge was proof that not only had Omega been abusing the mouse while he played his cruel game with Jake, but the frequency of it was likely greater. Alex’s nervousness gave him away and the rabbit, rather than being angry or annoyed, was dripping with sympathy.\n\n“H-h-he did, didn’t he?!” he cried, throwing his arms around the smaller mouse suddenly to wrap him in a firm, trembling embrace. “I knew it, I just knew it…” Jake sniffled and clung to Alex tightly. “I--I’m so sorry, Alex… I’m so so so sorry. It’s all my fault, you know. I… I bit Mister Omega that day, an’, an’... he got so mad. So mad that he threw me away. Sent me to… to B-2! It was so terrible! Th-there were these rats, and--and they wanted to burn off my toes!”\n\nJake had turned into a blubbering mess as he relayed events with increasing incoherence. “B-but i’was all a trick, Alex. A big, awful trick. A lie! It was all Omega. Sid--he was jus’an actor, not a real guard… He promised to take me home. Bu’none of’it was true! None!”\n\n“Ev’ryone lies to me,” he whimpered, head pressed against Alex’s chest. The bowl of fruit sitting in the rabbit’s lap was on the verge of slipping free, but Jake didn’t notice or care. “Th-they lie, an’... they hurt me. And make me hu…” He stopped then and shifted gears noticeably. “But you won’lie. Right? I… I can trus’you. More’in anyone else. Th’only one. Jus’you...”\n\nAll of a sudden Jake seemed to be drifting off, but he still held Alex firmly, nuzzling against him gently as he sought comfort in the mouse’s physical company.\n\n---\n\nAlex only continued to look down at the food as Jake correctly assumed that Omega had been sating his lust with Alex while Jake was gone. A quick gasp escaped him as Jake clumsily pressed onto him for a hug, which Alex took a moment to return. Jake had become quite emotional, which in this place wasn’t such an uncommon thing, but he was blaming himself for all the bad things that happened while he was away, which was ridiculous to the mouse.\n\n“Jake it.. It’s not your…”\n\nBefore he could finish, Jake went on to describe what had happened the day that he left. Alex hadn’t been given all the details, but he remembered the bandages that Omega had wrapped around his arm for awhile. Only now did he know that Jake was responsible. He didn’t know much about B-2 either, but when Jake mentioned the rats wanting to burn his toes off, Alex’s toes curled reflexively.\n\nAlex gasped as he noticed the bowl of fruit edging closer to the floor, quickly wrapping a paw around Jake to grasp it before it fell, breathing a sigh of relief as he carefully placed the bowl back onto the tray. By this point, Jake’s outburst was making less sense the more he talked about what had happened to him, but Alex continued to return the hug, not knowing what else to do.\n\n“Well I… I won’t lie to you, but.. I’m not the only one you can…”\n\nAlex jumped as the office door opened up, and Omega stepped in, raising a brow as he eyed the situation and Jake’s condition. He walked over to the cubs and examined the wine glass after observing Jake’s strange behavior.\n\n“Hmm, well I guess that wine didn’t go to waste after all. Well, we can’t have you drinking any more and vomiting all over the floor, can we?”\n\nAs Omega took the wine from the tray, only now did it start to make sense to Alex what was happening to Jake.\n\n“He’s… drunk?”\n\nOmega finished off the wine before answering as he set the now empty glass back on the tray.\n\n“As drunk as a whipped skunk.”\n\n---\n\nStill latched onto Alex, Jake was practically sprawled across the couch now, forcing his friend to lean at an awkward angle just to support him. His arms had snaked around the mouse’s body and secured themselves, while the buck nestled himself against Alex’s exposed chest such that he was practically in the boy’s lap instead. The removal of the bowl in Jake’s own lap only made it easier for him to snuggle up to his companion, even though his crotch was now exposed.\n\nDuring the rabbit’s dazed silence his emotional state shifted as the worst memories gave way to the joyful ignorance of his inebriation. He didn’t register Omega’s return initially like Alex did when the door opened. Instead, he smiled and closed his eyes as he was lulled into a sense of security by the sound of the mouse’s swift heartbeat and steady breathing.\n\nAlex and Omega conversed for only a few seconds before the mouse reached the startling conclusion that Jake was indeed drunk. It hadn’t taken much either. Just a third of a glass had rendered the buck completely useless. But there was no doubt that he was considerably happier than usual. A hiccup and a playful giggle followed the rodent’s question, and once Omega confirmed it, Jake suddenly reached up blindly with one paw to stroke his friend’s chest.\n\n“Heeee, whip’skunk, whip’skunk,” Jake giggled before stopping abruptly like he’d just made himself sad. “Oh… I hope she got back t’Sid okay… Poor… poor Candace.” His attention was fleeting and no sooner had he addressed his passing concern for the skunk did he switch to something else.\n\n“Mmm… heehee…! Y-you’re so soft an’warm, Alex,” he cooed. “I’m… s… so glad I can tr...ust you. You… you trust me too, right? I know, I... hurt you, but I didn’mean t--”\n\nJake paused abruptly as his head turned to see that the wolf had returned and of all the responses he could’ve conjured on the spot, he offered a most peculiar one.\n\n“Mmmm...mister Omega… Hi,” he said, giggling spontaneously as he waved a paw aimlessly. The instinctive fear he normally had was presently being suppressed or at the very least disoriented and effectively nullified. He hadn’t caught that predatory scent yet, either. “I was jus’... I wan’ed to try the… the stuff. But I… think I had t’much…”\n\nFor a moment Jake stared emptily at Omega as his attention drifted elsewhere. He then suddenly forgot the wolf was even present and returned his gaze to Alex. Lurching upright, the buck grasped his friend by both shoulders and looked at him with a mixture of guilt and sympathy.\n\n“W-wait, there’s… somethin’ I was… I was wan’ing t’say, Alex. Y’know… I… I’m real s-sorry f’hurting you, and… and I w--wanted to make it up t’you… S-so, I was… was thinking that mmmm… maybe… you should get t’do me back… so… so we’d be, uhm… even. R-right? I dunno… I jus’... feel so bad for what... Omega made me… made me do.”\n\nStarting to look dizzy, Jake promptly dropped back into Alex’s lap, eyes closed as he nuzzled his cheek between the mouse’s closed thighs.\n\n---\n\nJake’s reaction to Omega’s distasteful comment regarding the skunk that the cub had been coerced into whipping wasn’t what the wolf was hoping for, but he still found it amusing, particularly as Alex shifted with discomfort at Jake’s unbridled affection. What distressed Alex most were the memories flooding back as the chain attached to his ankle jingled, and Jake’s body was once again on top of him as it had been when his friend was forced to rape him.\n\nJake seemed to soon realize that the reference to the whipped skunk was indeed referring to Candice, but suddenly his attention shifted, commenting about how soft Alex was. Alex was deeply unnerved by this comment, as Omega had made plenty of lustful remarks about how soft he was in the past.\n\n“J.. Jake..!”\n\nOmega watched with growing amusement as Alex lightly pressed against Jake’s shoulders, trying to respectfully wedge his paws between himself and Jake before he finally noticed that Omega was in the room, looking down on the two awkwardly snuggling cubs on his couch. The amusement disappeared from his face, however, as Jake revealed that, due to his current state, he had not a shred of fear to offer. Omega sighed and shook his head.\n\n“Damn that chef…”\n\nJake then grabbed Alex by the shoulders, causing him to wince as it almost seemed as if he were being restrained, which caused Omega to raise a brow. He was sure that Jake wasn’t trying to restrain Alex on purpose, but maybe Jake had just given him another idea on how to get past his defenses and convince him to breed. However, what Jake said next caused Alex and Omega to respond together in almost perfect sync.\n\n“What?!”\n\nJake had just offered his own body as penance for his attack on Alex, however little choice he had in the matter. Alex was less than thrilled about the idea of raping his friend for ANY reason, and although the idea had crossed Omega’s mind before, to hear Jake make the offer so freely caught him completely by surprise. There just wasn’t as much fun to be had with the cub in this state.\n\n“Alright, Jake, it’s time for a nap.”\n\nThe wolf stepped over to his desk, retrieving the key to the cubs’ shackles. He unlocked Alex’s shackle first, and to his immense relief, pried the clingy bunny from him before pulling the mouse away.\n\n“Go back to the kitchen for now. When you come back with my lunch, you can spend the rest of the day with Jake.”\n\nAs Alex was ushered towards the door, he looked back with confusion. The mouse was completely confused over what had just happened, despite knowing that Jake’s actions were influenced rather heavily by the alcohol. Eventually, he left the room as he was told, hoping that Jake would be back to normal when he returned and he could play games with him like the last time he was in that cell with him.\n\nJake’s shackle was next, and Omega dragged the drunk cub across the floor, depositing Jake onto the mattress before closing the cell door, running a paw down his face as he returned to his desk, pressing his claw against the button on the intercom.\n\n“Chef, don’t give my boy alcohol without my say-so anymore, alright?”\n\n“What?! He actually drank it?!”\n\nOmega threw his arms up in frustration as the chef began cackling loudly over the speaker.\n\n“Wh.. If you didn’t think he would.. then why did you..?!”\n\nOmega placed both paws over his face, shaking his head as more cackling came over the speaker, speaking to himself without sending through the intercom.\n\n“DAMN you, chef…”\n\nOmega sighed one more time as the speaker went silent, listening to the cub’s loud drunken ramblings behind the cell door, not responding at all. If he did use alcohol to aid the boy’s breeding progress, it would have to be a much smaller dose than what he had ingested from the glass.\n\n---\n\n“N… no, I don’wanna nap,” the bunny mumbled in response to Omega’s statement.\n\nAs if to reinforce his decision, Jake tried to hug Alex tighter while the wolf stepped away to retrieve the key. In his drunken state however, the boy was even less of a match than usual for the man, who unlocked the mouse’s shackle and pried the rabbit away from his friend before ushering the little chef on his way. The buck whined in protest, reaching after the rodent with grabby paws as he departed. Once again, though, his focus shifted and he swiftly accepted the change.\n\n“Fine… bye-bye, Alex,” he said with a giggle and a poorly coordinated wave of his paw. “C-come back soon… okay?”\n\nAfter Alex had left through the open office door, Jake’s shackle was removed next and without a word, Omega picked him up by his leg and dragged him towards his cell. The rabbit hardly put up a fuss except to tug on his outstretched leg as he slipped onto the floor and proceeded to slide across it. The sensation against his fur as he was dragged made him giggle and babble incoherently, but that all stopped when he was deposited onto the mattress and sealed in.\n\nA few moments passed in a dazed stupor, but then the buck sat up abruptly and crawled over to the locked door. His movements were sluggish and awkward as he plopped himself down and leaned against the metal barrier, listening to the sounds beyond. Omega was conversing with his chef and the frustration was clear in his voice as he admonished the man for giving Jake alcohol, to which the wolf received a chorus of laughter over the intercom.\n\nLeaning lazily against the door, Jake continued to listen until things went quiet, and then he began an unusual ritual of pawing at the metal surface.\n\n“Mister Omega…?” he called drunkenly. “I’m still hungry… Can I have my food, please?”\n\nWhen no response came, the buck railed on.\n\n“Omeeega. Hello? My tummy’s empty. I wanna eat some more… an’... could have some more of that juice, too? It tastes awful, but… I really like it… Please? Mister Omega?”\n\nJake continued to repeat his complaints while scratching on the door for well over a minute before he suddenly fell quiet. Then, nearly thirty seconds later, the faint sounds of rustling and grunting squeaks emanated from his cell. As the alcohol had further permeated his little body, reaching optimal levels of absorption, a curious thing began to happen to the rabbit’s unique physiology.\n\nAlmost all of his higher functions had taken an immediate back-seat to his instincts which had been suppressed or just unable to adapt right away to the influx of alcohol. Suddenly the rabbit had gone completely feral and was fuzzing around with his bedding. In his efforts he even used his incisors to work the blanket around more than his own two paws.\n\nIn no time at all, Jake had made a mountain of his bedsheet and began to straddle it. His natural libido took over from there and the little rabbit began humping the lump of fabric like it was a mate. He wasn’t playing either. The eager, rapid thrusting of his naked hips was accompanied by a growing arousal between his legs. Jake with pumping his soft but steadily stiffening penis against the scratchy fabric, grunting and squeaking as he huddled his entire body over the balled up blanket.\n\n---\n\nAnnoyed with Jake and the chef, Omega ignored Jake’s pleas for his food. He would be given the food later, once Alex returned. No doubt, the chef would be asking Alex a bunch of uncomfortable questions about what effect the alcohol had on Jake. While this thought had some level of intrigue for the wolf, overall, he was still just annoyed. Omega’s efforts now shifted to going over reports from his staff on both the underground and overworld halves of his hotel.\n\nHe figured Jake would eventually fall asleep until lunch, but his attention was quickly drawn by some rather curious sounds. Squeaks and grunts, as well as some rhythmic bouncing could be heard from the other side of the cell door. Omega stood from his chair, moving to the small slit in Jake’s cell. When he peeked inside, all of his distaste for the situation vanished in an instant.\n\nOmega looked on with interest for a moment as he watched Jake mindlessly hump the pile of blankets he had positioned on the mattress. Not only was the sight just adorable, and brought a twinge of excitement into the wolf’s slacks, but this seemed to confirm his earlier hypothesis--that giving the boy alcohol could greatly aid in his training, and if needed, it could be a last resort to forcing him to breed, should the training not go well.\n\nOmega snapped his finger to punctuate this revelation, waving his finger aimlessly in the air as he returned to his desk.\n\n“That’s the key..”\n\nHours passed, Omega continuing his work in silence while listening to the cute grunts and squeaks coming from Jake’s cell during his moment of lust. He almost wished he had let Alex stay trapped with this new side of Jake in his cell rather than sending him back to the kitchen, although it was probably best that Jake didn’t turn his alcohol-induced lust towards Alex, else it might become more difficult to get Jake to ingest the stuff willingly after realizing he had raped his friend yet again. More time together later, along with a little more added trauma would smooth over any mistrust Jake had already caused before Alex was sent away.\n\nFinally, lunch time arrived. Alex knocked eagerly on the office door, wanting to join Jake in his cell and continue playing on those handheld devices he had experienced for the first time before Jake had been sent away. Omega stood from his desk as he commanded Alex to enter, still wearing the shirt that Jake had given him.\n\nAs Alex wheeled the tray into the room, a paw on his shoulder stopped him, and his eyes widened as Omega knelt behind him. This couldn’t possibly be a good thing.\n\n“I think you’ve had that shirt long enough. Let’s get it off of you.”\n\nAlex tried to move away from Omega’s grasp, but a paw slapped against his chest, pulling the mouse’s soft body back against that of the larger wolf with a thump, squirming as Omega groaned and slipped a paw underneath the shirt to slide up to the boy’s fluffy chest, slowly working the shirt up, exposing the rest of Alex’s white body.\n\n“N.. No! NO!”\n\nHeavy thumps could be heard from Jake’s cell as Alex grunted and struggled to free himself, but soon stopped, frantic breaths from the young cub giving way to screams. Omega had plans for Jake’s development tomorrow, and raping Alex right outside the cell door was as much about putting that plan into motion as it was getting a good fuck from a cute little cock warmer. This of course didn’t stop the wolf from enjoying every moment of those frantic screams as he began to rape the little mouse.\n\nThe mouse’s little hole had been ravaged for longer than Jake’s, so the wolf was able to force his knot inside and begin fucking Alex with the base of his shaft without causing too much damage to the tight, but accustomed entrance. Alex’s screams were broken up along with the sound of the wolf’s hips slapping against the rump of the younger cub, screaming, flailing against the floor and sobbing pleas towards the cruel slaver.\n\nFinally, after what seemed like endless torment, the slaps gave way to the telltale groans of the wolf’s orgasm. Alex’s sobbing was nonstop, broken only by another scream as Omega pulled his knot free. For a few minutes afterwards, Alex’s sobbing was the only sound coming from the other side of the door.\n\nEventually, the cell door opened, the wolf shoving the mouse inside with a stumble, then pushing in the cart of food the boys had been munching on earlier in the day. After the cell door closed, Alex slowly slid down the metal surface, curling into a ball and hiding his face in his arms, his body shaking as he cried into them from the wolf’s cruel indulgence, traces of semen and blood leaking out onto the floor below him.\n\n---\n\nDuring the height of Jake’s mindless sexual arousal, the buck was completely oblivious to Omega’s observation as he continuously humped his make-shift mate, pausing several times only to adjust its shape whenever his frantic thrusting caused it to collapse. The unusually frisky rabbit would eventually climax into the bundle of fabric, staining it with his meager quantity of spunk not just once, but numerous times over the course of the next few hours.\n\nEvery time he finished, he emulated his feral ancestors almost perfectly, jumping with his orgasm and flopping onto his side with his little, immature erection twitching and softening before he could right himself, circle the blanket a couple times and then go for another round. Eventually though, the alcohol ran it’s course and, come noon, the buck had settled in and fallen asleep, curled up and hugging his blanket tightly. His erection was gone, but his loins were messy with half-dried ejaculate, as was the the blanket.\n\nWhen he next awoke, it was to the shrill cry of his friend, Alex, who had returned with Omega’s lunch and was immediately press-ganged into another round of sexual abuse. Jake returned to consciousness with a sharp jerk of his limbs as the screams reached his ears. Lurching upright, the buck immediately gasped in pain and clutched at his throbbing head. His memory was fuzzy and he remembered almost nothing following his decision to chug the wine.\n\nSober and suffering a hangover, Jake groaned, wrapped up in his own agony for a few moments before another pained squeal drew his attention. He recognized it immediately as Alex and threw himself forward, tossing his blanket aside as he collided with his cell door and banged on it frantically. The sounds emanating from behind it were all too familiar to Jake. He knew exactly what was going on and already his heart was aching for the poor mouse who was being subjected to the horrific torment Omega had to offer. The sympathetic rabbit couldn’t help but assault the door with his paws, pleading for the wolf to stop.\n\n“No! Leave him alone! Please!” he cried, scratching at the steel barrier in a panic. “S-stop! Stop hurting him! Omega, please!”\n\nMinutes passed agonizingly slow for both Jake and Alex as the buck wailed on his cell door and the mouse offered up only spine-chilling shrieks of pain and horror. The emotional impact of listening to his friend endure such agony was almost as terrible as if Jake himself were being subjected to that abuse. His friend’s cries rang in his ears and there was nothing he could do to stop it, as his endless pleas fell on deaf ears.\n\nIt was only when Omega reached his climax that the repetitive slapping, and Alex’s accompanying despair began to slow and eventually stop. Only a final cry from the mouse signaled the end of his torment and the steady sound of sobbing followed. Jake was pressed against the door, both paws resting to either side of his head as he leaned on it, staring down at the growing pool of his own tears.\n\nHe’d been so rudely awakened by the sound of Alex’s tortured screams that any happiness he might’ve gleaned from the alcohol had long since been forgotten. Now all he could think about was the mouse and the pain he’d suffered. Jake stayed in his present position for a while longer until he heard the sound of the door rattling in preparation to being opened.\n\nFrightened to his core that he might be next, Jake lurched backwards and scampered across the floor to distance himself as the door suddenly swung open. He fully expected to see Omega there, naked and aroused, with malicious intent to pin the trembling rabbit to the floor and subject him to a similar fate. Instead, however, he saw Alex, completely naked and crying as he was pushed into the room along with the food cart and then locked in.\n\nJake watched Alex with obvious concern but he was afraid to approach at first. The mouse eventually slid down the door to sit on the floor and curl up in a ball of misery. He didn’t stop crying, and though the rabbit understood why, the reason was made all the more real when he saw the traces of blood and semen leaking over the rodent’s tail between his spread ankles.\n\nShuddering audibly, the buck whined with intense empathy and spent the next minute or more working up the courage to approach his freshly abused friend. He wanted so much to comfort the mouse, but he was worried the boy might still be afraid of him, especially following such a recent trauma. Jake had to try, though, so he scooted closer bit and bit, eyes wet with compassion. Once he was close enough, he settled in beside Alex and gingerly wrapped his paws around the trembling little mouse.\n\n“I--I’m so sorry,” he whimpered softly, holding the boy close as he nuzzled the distressed cub’s cheek. “I’m sorry… sorry he keeps hurting you b-b-because of me… W-will you be okay? We’re alone now. Um… w-w-we could play some games. Or m-maybe have a snack… t-to take your mind off the… the… the pain. W-would you like that?”\n\nFeeling an overwhelming sense of desire to ease the mouse’s steady stream of tears, Jake, despite his usually timid nature began to gently lick Alex’s cheek, both to clean it of the salty tears and hopefully sooth his emotional turmoil. He hated to see someone else in pain almost as much as he hated having it inflicted upon himself. But with Alex, there was something that made it more unbearable. Perhaps it was the fact the rodent was a whole year younger than him, or the fact he’d come from a broken family who had essentially sold him into slavery.\n\nTo Jake, Alex was so much more alone. He literally had no one. His birth parents ditched him, and as far as he knew, the boy had no siblings or relatives who would care to go looking for him. He was a forgotten cub, and that must’ve hurt more than all the physical abuse in the world. The rabbit clung to his unfortunate companion, sharing in his grief for as long as it would take for him to recover from his most recent rape at the paws of Omega.\n\n---\n\nAlex didn’t react at first to Jake’s gentle touch, just crying into his arms as his friend tried to comfort him. After a brief moment, though, he registered Jake’s presence, and was glad that Jake wasn’t falling all over him like before, but instead offering support and compassion. Alex wrapped his arms around Jake as the buck continued to comfort him, sniffling and hiccupping as he addressed one guilty statement by the rabbit.\n\n“He.. He’s been hurting me since.. b-before you were ever brought here. It’s not your fault he’s a mean jerk.”\n\nAlex continued to cry softly against Jake’s shoulder, his insides throbbing from the recent assault.\n\n“At.. At least.. b-before you were here.. nobody in the k-kitchen would ever try to make me feel (hic) better after.. S-Sometimes the other slaves in my cell would, but.. most of the time.. I always had to go straight back to the kitchen and work.”\n\nAlex cried for a while longer as he and Jake held each other against the cell door, but eventually, the pain subsided, and the boy’s grief started to give way, wiping the tears from his eyes with a sniffle. He slowly stood to his feet, sniffling lightly as he approached the tray and took the bottle of juice. It was warmed up by now, but he was a little thirsty and his throat was sore from the crying.\n\nAlex poured himself a cup, and then moved over to the more comfortable mattress. He gasped lightly as a cold string of semen touched his tail, but not knowing what it was at first, he wiped his tail onto the corner of the mattress and started to chug the juice, wanting to get that soreness out of his throat.\n\nThe cup was empty before the mouse took it away from his lips. He had finally stopped crying, ready to enjoy his friend’s company with good food and fun games.\n\n“Thanks, Jake.”\n\n---\n\nAs grateful as Jake was for Alex’s reassurance that it wasn’t his fault, that Omega had been picking on him before the buck even arrived, he still couldn’t help but wilt guiltily. The wolf may have been abusing the rodent on a regular basis initially, but Jake still couldn’t help but feel like it had only gotten worse since he’d shown up. Especially considering that Omega had the boy be the one who wheeled away Samantha’s corpse so he could then later use that against him when he decided to make him the rabbit’s personal chef.\n\nHe suspected that Alex may have only been cursed with Omega’s presence on occasions where the chef had marched him up here, but now that he had to make that trip every single day, the frequency must’ve increased significantly. So in a way, Jake was responsible for every additional session of abuse the poor mouse had to endure, and that made him feel absolutely terrible.\n\nAlex continued to express his misery with steady stream of tears and sniffling sobs, but Jake stayed by him religiously. He wanted to be there to comfort him, dry his tears and make him feel better. And according to the mouse himself, other slaves were known to do the same thing, but to Jake’s dismay, Alex also stated that more often than not he’d have to return to work without any cuddling or reassurance, moving around busily while his backside ached and dribbled fluids that weren’t his own.\n\nJust imagining such an awful routine made Jake shiver against the little rodent, but he tried to hide his distress internally. True to his own principles and personal promise, he stayed by Alex’s side, hugging the boy firmly and consolingly until his tears dried and his sobbing ceased. It took some time, but the buck waited, almost falling back to sleep before he felt the mouse stir. Loosening his embrace, Jake leaned aside as Alex worked himself to his feet and moved further into the room to grab a bottle of juice from the cart.\n\nJake watched sympathetically and just a little worriedly as he eyed those twitching hips and the tail between them swaying awkwardly with the memory of pain. His gaze couldn’t help but drift lower to the mottled and messy stains that marred Alex’s backside. Still mostly wet, there were long trails of red reaching down the backs of his thighs and the base of his tail was a matted disgrace as well. That image suddenly reminded Jake of his own recent abuse and he found himself sitting up to reach around behind him to prod his fingers carefully against the irritated flesh beneath his own fluffy tail.\n\nWhen he brought his paw up to inspect it, it was mostly clean, but he knew full well that his fur was still a mess. He hadn’t gotten a chance to clean up after Sid raped him over the very couch he’d slept on the night before. Blood still decorated his anus, dry now, and his fur was matted and distorted by the dried semen that lingered there as well. He could feel it pulling at his fur whenever he moved a certain way. It was both uncomfortable and an unpleasant reminder of how quickly events had taken a turn for the worst.\n\nSo naturally he didn’t like the sight of Alex with the bottle in his paws, pouring a drink, while his exposed backside showed the obvious trauma he’d undergone. Already the buck was swelling with empathy again and as the little mouse moved to the mattress to sit with his glass of juice, it was joined by a bit of selfishness as his friend had no qualms about resting his messy backside on Jake’s already foul, fluid-stained accommodations.\n\nFollowing after the mouse, Jake moved to the food cart and searched it for some napkins, scooping up a handful when he found them. By now Alex had sat down, uttering a surprised squeak that resulted in him wiping his tail on the edge of the rabbit’s mattress. Jake frowned at that. It was bad enough he had to sleep on the remnants of his own blood without Alex adding to it.\n\nJake moved closer to his friend as he was thanked for his compassion. The rabbit stopped pretty suddenly then and blushed, looking away for a moment.\n\n“I--It was nothing, Alex, y-y’know? I’m sure… that y-you’d do the same for me. I mean we…” he paused to sigh. “We’re… all in this together, I guess… right?”\n\nThe buck looked sad for a moment, gaze lowered and paws fidgeting with the napkins before he shook his head abruptly and forced a small smile.\n\n“A-a-anyway, uhm… here,” he said, nervously offering some of the napkins. “Y-you might wanna… clean up before it dries… I--It gets pretty uncomfortable, and… he made a… a really big mess.”\n\nWaiting with barely contained patience for the mouse to accept his proposal, Jake then immediately spun around and moved back to the door of his cell with the rest of the napkins. Once there, he used them to clean up the pool of fluids Alex had left behind with an intensity for cleanliness borne of his psychological damage. Everything around him felt dirty now, and he had little to no control over it. So what small differences he could make were huge to him, and besides that, the sight of blood and semen was offensive to him now, because just looking at it was dredging up awful memories he’d rather not revisit.\n\n---\n\nAlex smiled as Jake reminded him that they were all in it together.\n\n“Yeah, yeah, you’re right. We all are. I mean the only reason the slaves in the kitchen didn’t help me was because chef doesn’t allow us to talk to each other or anything, but I think they would have if they could.”\n\nAfterwards, Jake had brought Alex some napkins and suggested that he clean up. It took Alex a moment to comprehend what Jake meant, but then he gasped and shot up from the mattress, looking down at the splotch of blood and semen he had left on the part of the mattress where he had been sitting.\n\n“I.. I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to, I.. I’ll sleep on this side tonight!”\n\nFrantically, Alex started scrubbing the napkin onto the mattress to clean up the fluids from his recent abuse before realizing that wasn’t what Jake was referring to.\n\n“Oh, right, you meant..”\n\nAlex gave a slightly fake smile before going to the toilet to drop the used napkin inside, and proceeded to wipe the still wet blood and semen from his leg, and clenched his teeth as he wiped along his sore hole. It took awhile, as every time he wiped that area, he would squeeze just a little more out, but eventually he got as much of it wiped up as he could, and flushed the blood and semen stained napkins down the toilet.\n\nWith that done, eventually the cubs could try to forget about what happened, and enjoy the remainder of the feast that they couldn’t hope to finish in one sitting. What was particularly nice about the whole thing for Alex was that the two of them could eat whenever they felt like it, not just at predetermined times throughout the day as before. The rest of the time, Alex enjoyed his time playing on the game machine that Omega had placed in the cell specifically for the nights that the mouse was able to spend with Jake.\n\nBy the time night had fallen on the surface, and Omega had been gone for several hours, most of the food had been eaten, but not all. It was indeed a feast. Alex, with his full belly, wanted so badly to stay up and play games some more with Jake, but he found himself nodding off and not making any progress, so he shut down the device, and pulled the blanket over, arranging a corner of it into a makeshift pillow, fast asleep as soon as his head touched down.\n\nThe next morning, as Omega entered his office, he went straight for the cell door, eager to get started with Jake today. Doctor Aero had requested a semen sample from Jake, and Omega was eager to make this day as unpleasant as possible for the little buck, even if it meant making it unpleasant for himself as well. He was prepared for it, and the terrified look on Jake’s face from the things the wolf had planned would probably make it all worth it.\n\nThe cell door creaked open and Omega clapped his paws together to wake the cubs, had they not already been set on alert by the simple act of opening the cell door.\n\n“Alright boys! Up! Up! Up! Gotta get you two cleaned up and ready for the day. Oh, and Jake, Doctor Aero wants to see you. I think he missed you.”\n\nOmega winked at Jake, giving a knowing chuckle before clapping his paws together again.\n\n“Come on, let’s get to it, unless you’d rather find out what other punishment methods we have available! You gonna walk by yourself this time, Jake, or would you rather I carry you again?”\n\n---\n\nFollowing Jake's obsessive cleaning spell by the door to his cell, he offered his friend a few reassuring words regarding the small mess he'd made while Alex cleaned his nethers properly over by the toilet. The rabbit was feeling physically and emotionally exhausted by the time he was done, and to make things worse his headache hadn't completely gone away. He couldn't bring himself to sleep for a good long while though, as basic needs took priority. And with all the stress he'd been enduring, hunger was at the top of that list.\n\nBefore joining Alex on the mattress to indulge in their impressive spread, Jake deposited the soiled napkins in the toilet as well and flushed them away. From then on, both cubs helped to distract each other with video-games and food; quite successfully, too. The pair were even able to smile and laugh once in awhile and for at least a short time, their worries and fears were forgotten in favor of companionship and entertainment.\n\nThanks to the steady supply of food, by the time his friend had grown drowsy enough to turn in, Jake was finally beginning to look almost as healthy as he had when he first arrived. There were noticeable differences naturally, like the obvious, irritated skin around his eyes from crying, his matted and dirty fur in various places all over his body, the faintest hints of lingering musk that was not his own, and of course, his still tender rump.\n\nThe most telling aspect of his recovery was the return of his skin's regular pink hue, most noticeable on the naked flesh of his inner ears, but internally, his red-blood cell count had begun to grow again as well to replace what had been lost over the last several days, his organs resumed normal function and he no longer felt fatigued and weak. He didn’t know it, but his meager sperm count had likely improved again as well.\n\nWith Alex fallen to sleep the instant he’d laid his head down on Jake’s bundled up blanket, the rabbit found himself spending another two hours wide awake before he too could join the mouse. He spent much of his remaining time eating while he alternated sitting in reflection and playing on his Veeta. Eventually though he succumbed to exhaustion and, failing to pry his blanket out from under Alex’s head without waking him, the buck groaned inwardly and shrugged, opting to curl up like a feral dog in the remaining space on his mattress.\n\nOnce he’d settled in, the buck drifted off gradually--right into a sea of nightmares which tormented and hounded him all night long. One after another, they crashed upon the shore of his subconscious, frightening images of Omega in his fictional, exaggeratedly demonic form as he chased, caught, hurt and punished him in a nearly endless cycle. It was only an hour before their unfortunate wake-up call that Jake had really reached the depths of his slumber and fallen still.\n\nBy morning he was so out of it that he barely stirred when the cell door opened, though Alex nearby was roused quite readily. It wasn’t until Omega clapped his paws together and loudly announced for both cubs to get up that Jake jerked awake with a shrill gasp. He lurched upright, spotted the wolf and immediately panicked, scrambling backwards into the rodent as he whimpered.\n\nThe wolf was unusually upbeat as he eagerly addressed the cubs, reminding them that they had a cold hosing to look forward to. What was most horrifying though was Omega’s comment to Jake about Doctor Aero. As mean as the dolphin was he couldn’t imagine the man ‘missing’ him in a manner that didn’t involve the infliction of pain, discomfort and humiliation. So the promise of a visit today was the last thing he wanted to hear.\n\nHe didn’t exactly have a choice though. Omega clapped his paws together again, making Jake jump, and then he offered a blatant threat to get the two moving. To end his startling wake-up call, the wolf focused on Jake and gave him the option between walking for once, or being carried around like a sack of potatoes again. The buck winced in response and shook his head.\n\n“I--I can walk…” he mumbled, dropping his gaze. His hackles had already risen again and the calm and peace of last night vanished from his list of good memories. “I want to walk…”\n\nAs if to prove it, Jake rocked himself forward onto his hands and knees and eased himself to his feet, still keeping his profile small and defensive as he gingerly moved towards the open door. Omega had stepped aside to permit him passage, and though he didn’t directly taunt him as he passed, the rabbit couldn’t help throwing himself through the doorway to get past the man as quickly as possible. The last thing he wanted was to start his morning with an unwelcome groping from his rapist.\n\nPadding out into Omega’s office, Jake came to a stop and turned around, both paws hugging his chest rather than trying to obscure his genitals. Normally he would have, but common decency was no longer at the front of his mind now. His attention was instead directed to what horrible plans the wolf had for him.\n\n“D-d-do I have to… see the doctor?” he whined softly, watching Alex follow his lead and exit the room. He too moved extra quick to escape the wolf’s reach. “He--he’s really mean.”\n\n---\n\nOmega smirked as Jake elected to walk instead of being carried. He watched the bunny and the mouse both try to slip by him quickly, one after the other. Omega opened his office door and was about to usher the two cubs out into the hall when Jake spoke up, understandably concerned about his trip to the doctor. Aero still hadn’t let go of his grudge against the boy, but Omega approached Jake, kneeling down to him, keeping hold of his wrist so he couldn’t back away, to whisper into Jake’s ear a much worse alternative. He whispered low enough that Alex couldn’t hear him.\n\n“Now Jake, I’m not going to waste too much time forcing you to go. However, if you give me too much trouble over this, Alex and I will just have to have some fun in the washroom without you. Aero is looking forward to seeing you again, Jake, and if he doesn’t get the chance, I feel I might have to make it up to him with a..” Omega very slowly and subtly turned Jake’s head towards Alex to emphasize his point. “...rodent dinner tonight.”\n\nWith the threat issued, Omega gave Jake a couple of pats on the arm, then ushered the two cubs out of the room.\n\n“You know the way. Let’s go.”\n\nOmega followed the two cubs through the hallway towards the public elevator that would take them down to the basement. While in the elevator, Alex watched Jake’s expression, not sure if he wanted to know what Omega was whispering to him, but the grim look on Jake’s face told him that it couldn’t have been anything remotely in the realm of pleasant conversation.\n\nThe elevator opened into the corridors of B-1. Omega followed close behind the two cubs, giving each of them a quick, unfriendly tap to the back of the head if he felt they weren’t walking fast enough. Alex didn’t like how eager Omega was to get them to the clinic, and he was certain Jake felt the same way.\n\nThe moment Omega brought the two cubs into the clinic, he waved over one of the guards, a tall lion, and he and Omega wasted no time forcing Jake onto one of the examination tables. The commotion drew the attention of the dolphin, who grinned slightly as he was greeted with the sight of Jake being strapped forcefully onto the table, his limbs quickly secured to each of the corners before they turned their attention to Alex.\n\nAlex squealed and froze as the two large predators grabbed him, and shoved him down onto another nearby table, securing his straps in the same way. While Alex was being secured, Aero tapped Catherine on the shoulder and signaled her to follow him towards Jake. The woman’s ears folded back. Omega had brought Jake here personally, so she knew something was going to happen that she didn’t want to be a part of.\n\n---\n\nWatching with quivering knees as Omega approached him, Jake remained frozen with fear long enough for the predator to get close the distance such that a predictable retreat was easily thwarted by a grip on his small wrist. The buck squeaked in growing terror as the wolf crouched down to his level and brought his muzzle packed with sharp, carnivorous teeth so close to his trembling ear that the very heat of his breath caused him to jerk the majority of it out of reach for fear Omega might take another bite out of him.\n\nInstead however, the man whispered low and ominously to him as he stated bluntly that he wasn't going to entertain Jake's usual notions. And to prove that, he blatantly threatened him not with physical pain to his own person, but something arguably much worse. The buck's head was turned against his will, ever so slightly, to face Alex as Omega callously implied that if the rabbit made too much of a fuss that his only friend since Samantha's demise, would share in her fate.\n\nA small, shuddering gasp escaped the cub, every muscle in his body rigid with terror by the time Omega released him. Jake whimpered and jerked away from the man, trembling and hugging himself as he shivered on the spot. He couldn't imagine losing Alex now. Not after what happened to Samantha. He... He didn't deserve something so awful. No one deserved to go out that way, in fact; except maybe for Omega himself, as the perpetrator of such horrifying crimes.\n\nFollowing Omega's terse threat, Jake was left speechless, allowing the wolf to coax both cubs into scurrying ahead of him and essentially leading the way to the basement clinic. Aside from the word of caution regarding his tendency towards outbursts, Jake was gripped by the fear of returning to Doctor Aero, the man who could easily match Omega cruelty for cruelty. In fact, for a doctor, he behaved more like a glorified butcher, which worried the rabbit deeply. He wished he'd never incurred the man's wrath on that first day with his mindless, uncontrollable terror.\n\nBy the time they reached the elevator and the doors closed to descend, Jake was lost in his own world of fears and insecurities. He knew where they were going, but not why. What did Aero want with him? Why did he ask for him specifically? Naturally, the rabbit's first assumption was that he planned to shove more things up his aching backside, which just thinking about caused his little sphincter to flex against that uncomfortable memory. However, Omega had never accompanied him this far for what equated to a menial task by his captor.\n\nSo it had to be something else. And not knowing what was making Jake very nervous. He didn’t even acknowledge Alex staring at him as the elevator continued downward to its final destination. His focus was instead on the floor between his feet, and keeping his eyes free of tears trying to form as his concern grew with each passing second.\n\nThe ding of the elevator when it finally announced their arrival, caused the wound up buck to jump in fright before he was prodded into moving forward again. As they drew closer to the clinic, Jake’s movements became more and more hesitant. He was trying to stay ahead of Omega’s swift stride, but at the same he desperately desired to prolong their trip. Uncertainty had him eventually tripping over his own feet, leading to harsh and insistent flicks to the back of his head and ears to spur him forward again.\n\nWhen they finally did reach Doctor Aero’s domain, Jake had resorted to clinging to his friend Alex, both as a source of comfort and encouragement to keep moving at a fair clip. As they entered however, the buck dared to release the mouse. Omega had called over a guard though, a massive lion that rivaled the wolf in size and ferocity. The sight alone as he approached made the rabbit back up several steps until he encountered a solid wall in the form of Omega.\n\nA shrill cry escaped the rabbit as he was promptly lifted off the floor and forced onto one of the familiar tables, just as a cold and unyielding as he remembered. Jake was trembling and struggling with his aggressors as they manhandled his limbs into the table’s cuffs, but he was considerably easier to handle now than he had been on his first day. Most likely, it was due to Omega’s threat. Once he was restrained though, his panic continued to rise unchecked. He tugged feverishly at his shackles, watching with wide-eyed fear as Omega and the lion proceeded to strap Alex down to a table as well.\n\nOmega wasn’t wasting any time today, and somehow that scared Jake more than anything else. There was an eagerness and impatience to the wolf’s actions. He was waiting for something, and the fact he had yet to depart after securing the mouse meant that he planned to be present for it. \n\nWith a low, continuous whine, Jake struggled to pinch his legs together around his exposed groin while he tugged periodically at his restraints and observed the unnerving scene before him. He spotted the odd-looking dolphin almost immediately, and the look in that creature’s face gave him chills. Nearby was the fox lady he remembered from before. Aero casually tapped her on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him. When the pair started moving, their first stop had them walking in Jake’s direction, which automatically made his fearful struggling intensify.\n\n---\n\nOmega grinned widely as Jake’s terror escalated quickly. Omega knew what the doctor had in mind and approved of his methods whole-heartedly. It wasn’t something he usually took interest in, but because it was Jake--because of his condition, the wolf would find this little exercise quite entertaining.\n\nAs Aero approached, he instructed one of the other slaves, a male feline teen, to give Alex a quick checkup, then wheel him back to the washroom. Once the two approached Jake, Aero was immediately ready to get started, as this “procedure” might take a little time.\n\n“Welcome back, Jake. I’ve been told that your little peen had been producing quite a lot more semen than is natural for your age, as it’s been observed.” Aero punctuated this knowledge by flicking Jake’s sheath twice, for no other reason than to cause the boy discomfort. “I think we need to start testing your seed every now and then to see if you’re capable of producing offspring. Catherine, will you kindly collect the sample for us?”\n\n“Wh.. Me? But… you know how he reacts to predatory species… what about feet? I’m sure he would be a better--”\n\n“We’re not debating this, Catherine. You will collect the sample, am I clear?”\n\nCatherine cast a sympathetic glance to Jake before slowly nodding.\n\n“Don’t worry, Jake. I’ll get you a towel to put over your eyes and then what I’ll do is..”\n\n“No towels.”\n\n“What? Why?!”\n\nDoctor Aero leaned in close to Catherine, speaking much more slowly and insistently.\n\n“No… towels…”\n\nCatherine was still confused. She knew Aero had a grudge against the boy, but he usually elected to hide it from Jake in some way, using some medical excuse to justify making the boy less comfortable or sometimes torture him as much as he could get away with, despite knowing that Jake had already figured out Aero’s little game. This time it was blatant, that is, until Omega decided to clear up the confusion himself.\n\n“Those were my instructions, Catherine. You’re to take the sample where Jake can see you.”\n\n“But..!”\n\n“Unless of course you’d rather we extract his semen with a needle.”\n\nAs Omega said that, nearly every male in the room, even Doctor Aero, instinctively pressed their legs together in sympathetic pain. Catherine sighed in defeat. It seemed that Aero and Omega were doing everything they could to keep her from making the situation any better for Jake at all.\n\n“I’m sorry, Jake.. I have to do it.”\n\nCatherine approached the table, tilting it forward slightly, but not too much that Jake would be hanging from the straps. In one final effort to make the situation more bearable, she reached for one of the straps so that she could free Jake’s limbs, but Omega stopped her yet again.\n\n“Ah, you don’t want to be doing that, even if I were to allow it.”\n\nCatherine’s ears folded back, and she moved her paws away from the strap, pacing back and forth in front of Jake’s table, trying to come up with a way to explain what she was about to do in a way that didn’t upset Jake too much.\n\n“Okay Jake.. I’m going to have to touch your penis.. a lot.. I know it’s going to be stressful for you, but.. try to stay calm and relaxed as much as you can. If you just… let it happen.. It might even feel good.”\n\n---\n\nWith all of his limbs fastened in place, there was little Jake could do but observe with increasing terror as the people around him gathered closer. At his feet, with an unrestricted view of his shamefully exposed body was Doctor Aero and Catherine, the nice, but inherently frightening vixen. To one side was Omega, grinning widely and encouraging chills to tickle Jake's spine as he continued to writhe against the table. All eyes seemed to be on him, forcing the buck's fearful attention forward. He barely even noticed the feline who had been sent to deal with Alex nearby, but he could hear the sounds of mutual distress as the boy was examined.\n\nAlex was far more used to such a procedure than Jake, though, who’s experience thus far hadn’t given him any reason to cooperate whatsoever. And it seemed today would be no different, despite Omega’s prior threat. As the buck tugged repeatedly at the straps binding his wrists and ankles, he met Doctor Aero’s frightening gaze as he welcomed him back. The rabbit could only offer a worried whimper in response to what the dolphin had to say next, especially in regards to Jake’s nether region. The flicks to his sheath made him jump and wince, his muscles tensing until they began trembling.\n\nThe good doctor was talking about his ‘seed’ and no sooner had he explained that he was going to be tested, the dolphin turned control over to Catherine, whom he instructed to acquire a ‘sample’. That word alone caused the rabbit to whine loudly in protest. He automatically assumed that a sample would be obtained via a needle, and despite his week of torment so far, his fear of them hadn’t been diminished in the least. Perhaps Omega was aware, because the boy’s response only seemed to amuse him more.\n\nWhat made this whole situation worse, and it was likely Omega was conscious of this as well, was that Catherine, a fox and Jake’s number one most feared predator, would be performing the procedure. No one needed to guess how the rabbit was going to respond to that knowledge. His struggling became more violent, and though his efforts were clearly getting him nowhere, Jake’s instinctual response had begun to kick in.\n\nJake barely heard the conversation between Aero and Catherine in which the woman protested the doctor’s decision to pick her for the task. All the buck could do was stare with wide-eyed terror at the fox, unable to take his eyes off her. So he had no trouble seeing the sympathetic look on her face when she conceded to the dolphin’s order. He was also fortunate to hear her address him with the promise of covering his face, something which would’ve helped to ease his growing tensions considerably, but ultimately was just a band-aid solution.\n\nHowever, no sooner had the assurance left her mouth did Doctor Aero deny her that option. Only then did Jake’s gaze flicker towards the dolphin for just a moment. He was shocked; mortified. And Catherine seemed to be as well. She immediately questioned the decision, but Aero simply repeated himself pointedly. Something was different about the man, but Jake didn’t have the mental faculties available to invest in figuring out what it was. All he could see was a vile physician who was being even crueler than usual.\n\nWith the refusal to give him something to filter some of the terror coming his way, Jake’s panic only continued to escalate. His wrists and ankles had already begun to bruise and chafe considerably as his predicament only had increasingly worse news to offer. Catherine was clearly conflicted, but before she could voice any further concerns, Omega spoke and and expressly stated that the lack of effort to reduce Jake’s fear induced stimulus was, in fact, his idea.\n\nThe buck’s head jerked sharply to the side to stare up at Omega in obvious distress, limbs still tugging frantically at his restraints. Again Catherine tried to bargain, but before she could get two words out, the wolf offered an insane alternative, one which seemed to bother all the males in the room, even Doctor Aero himself. Jake was no exception of course, but not for exactly the same reason. His irrational fear of needles was his cause for concern; he had no clue that it would involve something as cruel as piercing his developing testes or whatever else such a harvest might entail.\n\nFollowing the clapping of thighs from every male in the room, the fox lady sighed in defeat. This caused Jake’s frightened gaze to flick back to the woman as she told him his worst fear. There was no avoiding it. She had to do as she was told, and though he wasn’t certain yet what that would entail, his struggling only grew more insistent. He watched with tears welling up in his eyes as Catherine approached the table, flinching and trembling visibly when the table began to tilt slightly.\n\nIt stopped short of him actually going anywhere, or any additional strain being applied to his arms, and all of a sudden Catherine was reaching for the straps holding his left wrist. The buck followed that motion intensely, thinking the woman was going to release him. As a show of immense approval, the cub stopped struggling completely, flexing his paw in eager anticipation of being freed.\n\nBefore the fox could even touch the strap however, Omega spoke up, drawing the attention of both Catherine and Jake, the latter looking towards the wolf with another horrified expression. He simply couldn’t form words. Why was he doing this?! He wanted to trigger the rabbit’s instincts, overwhelm him with hysterical terror, and for what?!\n\n“W-wait--” he squeaked suddenly, panting open-mouthed and breathless. He couldn’t believe Catherine was obliging these insane demands, and if that wasn’t bad enough, she proceeded to pace back and forth before suddenly explaining to him exactly what was going on.\n\nThe instant she referred to his genitals, Both of Jake’s powerful thighs jerked inward as hard as they could, muscles tense and trembling with strain as they did little to protect his privates. Catherine said outright that she was going to touch his penis, and even though she tried to offer consolation and reassurances, Jake wasn’t having any of it. He stopped listening to her at that point and devoted the majority of his energy to struggling as he begged and pleaded.\n\n“N-no, no no no, please! Please, not that,” he whimpered, his wrists and ankles becoming increasingly raw the more he fought his restraints. “I don’t want you to touch me there, no! I--I wanna go back to my cell! I wanna go back! Please, Mister Omega, don’t make her! Don’t make her touch me! Please, I’m scared! I’m scared!” Jake broke into a fit of pitiful sobbing towards the end, tears streaming down his cheeks.\n\nHis focus never once left Catherine’s looming form beside him as his instinctual need to flee was essentially turning him into a cornered animal. He was trapped with no escape, his life in the paws of his species’ ancestral enemy. The only thing keeping the rabbit from going completely insane was that fact she was female. The musk she exuded was thus, far less intense but no less concerning. She was still a fox, with teeth and claws and a historical taste for rabbit flesh.\n\n---\n\nCatherine’s heart ached as Jake pleaded with her not to proceed, and a part of her wanted to outright refuse, but doing so most likely would result in something even more unpleasant for both Jake and herself. She had already avoided a terrible fate for either herself or Pete, and that was at the expense of a little girl’s life, a little girl who Jake cared for deeply. She couldn’t take any more chances. Omega had brought Jake in with Alex, seeming to indicate that something similar could happen again.\n\n“I’m sorry, Jake..”\n\nCatherine walked around the table to acquire a test tube before returning to Jake, moving a hesitant paw towards his sheath.\n\n“Jake, I.. I know this is going to be scary for you but.. I’ll try to.. do it.. quickly..”\n\nShe turned her gaze to Omega, expecting yet another denial for her last statement, but this time, the wolf simply looked on. After casting a look of disdain at the wolf, she returned her attention to Jake, taking hold of the cub’s tiny sheath. She soon realized another unfortunate circumstance--that she would not be able to obtain the sample while Jake thrashed so violently, so the vixen draped a forearm over Jake’s abdomen to hold him still, or at least still enough to carefully slide that fuzzy sheath back to reveal the boy’s limp peen.\n\nIn Jake’s frightened state of mind, she would probably have to spend more time attempting to arouse him than anything else, but she had a plan to get around that, and hopefully make the whole experience that much shorter. The vixen cast one more sympathetic gaze towards the restrained cub before lowering her muzzle to his crotch, using her paw and tongue to move the organ between her lips, and began lightly suckling, sliding her tongue gently up and down the length of Jake’s young peen.\n\nShe could feel Jake’s thighs trying to squeeze together, but the straps prevented it. What many of her clients demanded of her, Jake had been begging her not to. This was something she hadn’t experienced before, and it caused tears to drip onto Jake’s crotch occasionally as the vixen continued to entice Jake’s young peen into arousal, feeling it slowly comply with her gentle suckling. The boy’s terror wasn’t helping her efforts, but thanks to Omega, there was nothing she could do about that.\n\n---\n\nWhen Catherine offered little more than a final apology and proceeded to acquire a vial for the task ahead of her, Jake’s thrashing become more sporadic. He continued to watch her with a wide-eyed intensity, every inch the prey to her predator as she returned and reached towards his nether region. The sight alone had the buck writhing and panting, a sustained whine bubbling up his clenching throat. He couldn’t take his eyes off that paw as it drew closer, hesitating only long enough for the woman to offer a few more meaningless assurances.\n\nHe didn’t dare look away long enough to acknowledge Catherine’s glance towards Omega after she made the promise to perform as quickly as possible. All he could do was whine loud and shrill before the fox’s clawed fingers grasped his soft, little sheath and the sound choked off in his throat. Every muscle in Jake’s body went rigid, their definition surprisingly visible beneath the flesh of his quivering, white fur. Naturally they were more pronounced in his thighs and calves, a sign of his lapine heritage, but his arms and heaving chest were showing considerable tone as well.\n\nWith his floppy sheath between the predator’s fingers, Jake was gripped by unrestrained terror, his body stiff but trembling with the tension. The woman must’ve found the constant movement unworkable, because before she continued, her forearm was leaned against his abdomen to hold him down. Being pinned however only excited his instinctual response even more. His thrashing began to resume in the form on violent tugging against his limbs’ restraints, but for the most part he was still and whining loudly with fear.\n\n“N-n-n-n-no! No, no no no no no!” he whimpered over and over as he watched with a limited view of the action between his legs.\n\nCatherine’s forearm did well to obscure a fair portion of her activities, but the sensation of his sheath peeling back to extract his little worm of a penis was unmistakable. A sharp squeak caught in his throat as his entire body convulsed. She was actually doing it, touching his privates in front of the worst audience imaginable. There was Omega and Doctor Aero, but even some of the other slaves nearby couldn’t help peeking at the shameful display. The rabbit whined loudly in distress, the metal table vibrating with the trembling on his limbs.\n\n“N-no, stop! P-please, stop! I--I don’t want this! Omega, please! M-m-m-make her stop, please!”\n\nIt was a miracle he could still speak in his near feral state of mind, but that all changed when, after a final look into Jake’s wide, tear-filled blue eyes, Catherine opened her carnivorous maw and brought it down to the boy’s defenseless, limp organ. A sharp gasp tore up the buck’s throat as every muscle in his body froze on the spot. One moment he’d felt the hot breath of the vixen against his privates, and the next, the most sensitive part of his body was swathed in an intense warmth that made him arch his spine as much as he possibly could, the straps creaking with the strain.\n\nHis penis was in her mouth, but for all he knew initially it had just been bitten off by those predatory teeth and this warmth was just what that absence felt like before the real pain came. Instead, though, the nerves of his exposed flesh lit up in a much different way that, arguably frightened him even more. After the initial shock of those vulpine lips encompassing his tiny boyhood, he became distinctly aware of Catherine’s tongue as it lapped as his tingling but unresponsive organ, trying to coax a reaction from it.\n\nThe response was very slow, unfortunately, with Jake tensing his thighs following every spine-chilling wave of misinterpreted pleasure. He might’ve wanted to try and enjoy it if he hadn’t succumbed to irrational fear, but in his terror-addled brain, Jake was involuntarily conjuring horrifying imagery of Catherine ripping into his genitals with those sharp, meat-eating teeth. In his mind they drew blood, tore through flesh and racked his body with such unimaginable pain that the only thing that could’ve caused more psychological trauma would’ve been if she had actually been devouring him.\n\nOnly a few moments into this treatment, Jake couldn’t take it anymore. He was sobbing loudly and straining at his bondage, pleading incoherently for Omega to stop this insanity. When his obvious distress still garnered no sympathy however, the buck did the only other thing he could think to do. He forced himself to close his eyes upon the scene before him. To give in to what he imagined was imminent death. It was the only relief he could conjure that would satisfy his natural instincts, because even that unwritten manual in his genes had to admit defeat at some point.\n\nWith his eyes squeezed shut, Jake twisted his head to the side and suddenly his struggling slowed. Every muscles in his body tensed and froze in anticipation of excruciating pain or the final blow that would kill him. Toes curled, and paws balled into fists, the poor rabbit shuddered and groaned as Catherine continued her efforts, coaxing his flaccid penis into a semi-erection after nearly three minutes of her tongue’s gentle affection. The arousal went against everything his instincts had to say in the matter, and it led to an immense confusion as the conflicting signals were sent to his brain.\n\nAnother five minutes would follow before the fox’s tender affections were able to encourage a stiff enough organ to proceed. It was an agonizingly lengthy endeavor, during which Jake didn’t stop squirming and complaining vocally. There was a fair amount of pleasure to encourage arousal, but that looming sense of what his instincts assured him was impending death made it impossible to appreciate. Eventually though, despite Jake fighting it every step of the way, when Catherine’s hot, slimy maw finally retreated from his fully erect and twitching organ, it stood tall and tiny. The rabbit’s tapered penis was a frightfully long way from being coaxed into climax, but with its full length out in the open, it would be much easier to direct the flow of semen into the provided vial.\n\nThe sudden shift from hot to cold against his sensitive appendage caused the rabbit to shiver as chills travelled from one end of his body to the other. Muscles quivered in response and made that little bunny pecker bob up and down as he whined and sobbed.\n\n---\n\nCatherine used her paw and muzzle to help coax Jake into arousal as fast as her skills would allow, but it was difficult with the thrashing hips and the intense fear preventing Jake from actively enjoying his situation. To Catherine’s relief, eventually Jake’s struggling slowed considerably. She couldn’t see from her position that Jake had closed his eyes. That limp organ was slowly becoming rigid in her mouth.\n\nFinally, Catherine removed her muzzle from Jake’s crotch, looking up to see that Jake has closed his eyes, which made her smile slightly, despite her eyes still being wet with tears.\n\n“Smart move, Jake. Just keep those eyes closed and try to relax.”\n\nUnfortunately, she didn’t think to speak low enough that Omega couldn’t hear this, so as Catherine rounded the table to retrieve some lubricant, Omega started moving towards Alex, who was being wheeled towards the wash room. Catherine took her position next to Jake while Omega stopped the feline for a moment. Alex whimpered as Omega took control of his table, knowing the wolf had something in mind that he wouldn’t like.\n\nIn an effort to get Jake to open his eyes again as Catherine applied the lube to her palm and gently grasped Jake’s erect member, Omega moved Alex to a position that would be in full view of the bound bunny. A shrill scream drew everyone’s attention as Omega’s teeth sunk into the big, round ear of the rodent cub, causing blood to immediately run down his ear and the side of his head.\n\nOmega didn’t rip part of Alex’s ear off as he had done with Jake, instead just pulling his head back slightly to open the new wounds even more and bring more pain and screams from the young mouse. He then put on a show for Jake, dragging his tongue along the bloody wounds of Alex’s ear before making a comment he hoped would further Jake’s terror.\n\n“Mmm, he tastes almost as good as you do, Jake. Catherine, you really should try some. The boy is delicious.”\n\nCatherine bared her teeth and growled, her teeth still bared as she turned back to Jake, although she realized quickly the mistake she had made, and closed her lips, but the damage had probably already been done. Aero snapped his fingers towards the feline as Omega finally stepped away from the sobbing, quivering mouse’s table.\n\n“You should probably take care of that wound while you’re cleaning him up.”\n\nTo that, the feline lowered his head and retrieved some supplies from the cabinet before wheeling Alex away again. Omega grinned, showing off his freshly blood-stained teeth as Catherine unscrewed the lid from the test tube, and began applying the lube to Jake’s arousal. She then began stroking her paw up and down Jake’s length, tears running down her face as she restrained the boy once again. Omega was deterring every attempt she could make to try to calm Jake down, but Omega’s cruelty was far from over. Once he got Jake into the washroom, his cruelty would escalate dramatically.\n\n---\n\nJust the sound of Catherine’s voice as she congratulated him on the agonizing decision to shut out the visual nightmare before him, made him wince. Having his eyes closed was helping a little bit, but his focus had been diverted to what he could feel, and the cold air swirling around his wet, exposed erection was making him shiver and whine pitifully. He wanted this awful event to end, wanted so desperately to return to his cell where no one could see him and the only person he’d have to worry about was Omega himself.\n\nThis was too much for the rabbit, and it showed in just how swiftly his body was running out of precious energy. His meal the night before had mostly burned away before he woke up, and breakfast had been cancelled in favor of this horrible treatment. Jake was functioning on fumes now and already they were in short supply. It took every ounce of strength he could muster to keep himself from opening his eyes to witness the awful scene taking place, so he was completely oblivious to what Omega was doing with Alex. All he could think about was the suddenly and chilling sensation erupting from his loins as Catherine applied lubricant to her paw and gripped his little pecker firmly.\n\nWhat came next was mind-numbing, as Alex’s shrill scream reverberated throughout the room. That sound reached Jake’s ears with such blood-curdling intensity that the rabbit had opened his eyes before he could even register what had incited that agonizing cry. When his gaze did focus in on the display before him, however, the response was instantaneous. The buck’s entire body jerked to life, arms and legs tugging so painfully at his restraints that his flesh began to tear and draw blood to the surface.\n\nJake stared in absolute horror at the sight of Alex, his only friend, writhing in pain as Omega’s jaws gripped one of his round ears with such ferocity that blood oozed from the wound. Wide-eyed and mortified beyond belief, the poor cub assumed right then and there that he’d failed and that the wolf was going to make a meal out of the mouse just like he had with Samantha. The very idea alone churned the buck’s stomach so completely that his naturally suppressed gag reflex couldn’t stop him from dry-gagging in revulsion.\n\nAnother cry made his throat clench tight and choke off his rising bile, but it came as a result of Omega tucking on the damaged flesh to encourage more blood-flow. By now he was certain the man intended to make good on his threat, even as he relaxed his jaws and lapped up some of the fresh blood. He almost didn’t need to hear what Omega had to say to confirm that Alex’s life was, indeed forfeit. It did however have the intended result of driving Jake insane with fear and disgust as he commented on Alex’s taste and even offered the fox to give it a try.\n\nAt the mention of Catherine, Jake’s horrified gaze snapped to the fox, who’d been bearing her teeth at the wolf. Logic and experience told him the woman would never do such a horrible thing, but when she turned to face the rabbit with that snarl still plastered on her angry muzzle, it had the inadvertent result of instilling a hysterical, instinctive response.\n\n“N-no! No! No! Please!” he shrieked, physically fighting against his bondage with such unbridled panic that he was going to put his delicate bone structure in jeopardy if he kept it up. “Don’t eat him, please! Don’t eat us! P-please, I don’t have anyone else, please! I don’t wanna be alone! I’ll die! I don’t wanna die!”\n\nJake was practically wheezing now, chest heaving deeply with every gasp for air. His heart raced painfully in his chest, threatening to burst free and his mind was so addled by unbearable terror that it was a miracle he hadn’t fainted yet. Before it was even an option however, the entire situation suddenly defused before him. Omega was instructing the feline to tend to the wound and just like that, Alex was being wheeled away, still alive but sobbing in pain. The wolf meanwhile returned to the buck’s side, grinning and bearing those bloody teeth, reminiscent of when he’d taken an actual bite out of Jake’s ear and swallowed it.\n\nThe revulsion of that memory bubbling to the surface was the final straw for Jake’s nausea and he jerked his head and his gaze away from Omega to gag again until he successfully vomited up a meager helping of stomach bile. The acidic substance had nowhere to go but to splatter against the naked fur of his shoulder while he shuddered in complete revulsion.\n\nAfter the heart-aching intermission, Jake was weak and dizzy. He still tugged at his restraints periodically but he’d spent much of his energy on his panic and now his entire body throbbed painfully. There was little more he could do than sob loudly and whine in protest as Catherine, seeing no other recourse, began applying the lube more liberally and then proceeded to stimulate the bunny’s little organ with quick up and down motions. The pleasure his body derived from the gesture was bittersweet and only served to cause Jake’s muscles to tense again as he struggled to move, forcing Catherine to pin him down once more.\n\n“W--why are you doing this?!” he blurted suddenly, following his strained words with tense groans as the fox’s efforts steadily forced him towards a climax he didn’t want.\n\n---\n\nCatherine openly began to cry as Jake thrashed around in terror, having just begged her and Omega not to eat his friend. She wouldn’t put it past Omega, as he had already eaten one of Jake’s friends, but to witness that same fear directed at her was just too much. All the while, she continued to do the job that was thrust upon her, working Jake’s young member to obtain the sample Aero wanted.\n\nWhen Jake started to groan, his stiffness twitching in response to her movements, she angled the test tube against the tip of Jake’s peen, ready to catch the semen as soon as Jake was forced to cum. Still holding Jake with her forearm, she squeezed on Jake’s shaft the moment the first squirt of semen hit the inside of the tube, slowly, gently squeezing and letting go, slowly rubbing up and down to coax more out.\n\nAs soon as Jake’s orgasm subsided, Catherine removed her paw, and quickly gave Jake some room as she backed away.\n\n“I’m done, Jake. I got the sample. I don’t have to touch it again, see?”\n\nCatherine held up the tube, where Jake’s seed rested in the bottom and slid slowly down the sides of the tube, then she handed the tube off to the doctor, whose attention was now focused on his next task as he took the sample over to the microscope to examine it. He had a few other containers already in place, which he spread onto a piece of glass before applying the fresh sample of sperm.\n\nAs he worked, Omega waited patiently for Jake’s terror to subside. He could tell that Jake’s energy was leaving him, and he’d need Jake rested for what came next.\n\n“Catherine, go get the boy a few leaves of lettuce from the kitchen. Pete, water.”\n\nThis was the first order from Omega that Catherine was able to follow willingly as she walked briskly out of the door while pete moved to the sink to fill up a cup with water, slipping a straw inside, as he was certain Omega wouldn’t want Jake untied just yet. Pete set the water aside so that he could lower Jake’s table to a more reachable height for the tiny mouse before picking up the water and positioning the straw close enough for Jake to reach.\n\n“Here.. I think they’re done messing with you, Jake. How do you feel now? Do you need anything?”\n\n---\n\nIn his present state of mind, had Jake even cared to acknowledge the woman’s tears, he might still not have felt ashamed of himself for so deeply offending her. Right now, the poor buck was overwhelmed by his survival instincts, which were shouting over and over in his head for him to attack, run, hide and wait. However swirling around in that chaotic mess now was another familiar response. The one that had been responsible for not one but two incidents in which the boy had forcibly taken a mate.\n\nRight now it was there, pulsing and growing, demanding for Jake to hump and spread his seed. It swelled gradually at first, picking up intensity the closer he got. The entire ordeal was exhausting and the cub’s body was already rattling and trembling on the urge of failing him. Restrained as he was, all Jake could do in response to being so expertly milked was tense his hole body against each wave of unwanted and confusingly accepted pleasure. He wanted desperately to retract his limbs over his core, curl up into a shuddering ball and wait anxiously for these feelings to go away.\n\nThey wouldn’t yet, though. Not until Catherine finally achieved her goal. It happened quite suddenly for the rabbit. One moment he was drowning in a sea of arousal and pleasure bordering on intense pain, and the next something shot out of his penis that wasn’t what he was used to and immediately following his whole body stiffened and flexed several times to the rhythm of the fox’s manipulations.\n\nThe instant she had what she needed, less than half a teaspoon of a pale fluid, Catherine backed away immediately, paw raised and the vial in clear view. The sudden distance helped immensely to relieve the aching tension in Jake’s muscles, but when his head rolled to face the fox and see a tiny bottle with little more than a couple drops of liquid, the rabbit let out a strained gasp of dismay, followed by a ragged shudder. His face was a mess with tears, the tilted steel table beneath him tracking it down behind his back. Every muscle in his body ached, his lungs burned, and he hadn’t even been anally penetrated like the other times he’d felt this much agony.\n\nAll the pain he felt, save for what emanated from his loins currently, was entirely his own fault. He’d caused himself pain through his uncontrollable terror. And for WHAT?! A few measly drops of something Omega seemed to think made him so darn special that he had to be kept alive and tormented like this day in and day out? Jake dropped flat against the table, gasping and panting with wide, tear-filled eyes as he stared up at the ceiling in utter disbelief. Everything he’d gone through was for that? The tiniest sample of his seed?\n\nNothing really said more to Omega’s unforgiving cruelty than the horror he’d just been through for a task that was so simple, the boy might’ve been open to providing it on his own in private if it had meant avoiding what just happened. But no, it seemed to be the wolf’s intent all along to abuse him like this. He needed only cast a short gaze in the man’s direction to see the tickled-pink expression on his face. That sight alone was more than enough encouragement to cry with misery.\n\nWith their prize obtained, attention finally diverted from Jake, much to his relief. It allowed him to begin the slow, drunken steps towards calming himself physically and mentally. Catherine had taken a few steps further back after handing off the vial and Omega had yet to move, leaving Doctor Aero to make his way over to some equipment nearby to do whatever it was he needed the sample for. Jake was still fuzzy on the whole concept about how babies were made. All he really knew was that a male and female mating without protection would make them.\n\nShortly after Aero had set to work, Omega spoke up, making Jake wince weakly as he ordered Catherine and Pete to leave and fetch food and drink, something which suddenly had his tummy rumbling hungrily for. His mouth and throat were parched too, like rough sandpaper. He was beyond exhausted by now, every part of his body aching so much that he couldn’t bring himself to move anything. He lay motionless save for his chest rising and falling rapidly with each breath. He was actually trying to calm his breathing especially as a means to come down from his hysteria, and it was starting to do well.\n\nHis improvement was even more noticeable after the two slaves departed, leaving only Omega as the predator to be wary of. And he was very much so. He might’ve been able to relax a little, but not as much as he could’ve hoped for. With that wolf and his prevalent musk filling his nostrils, there would be no relief yet. As he slowly recovered, Jake had to compel himself to demand an answer from Omega.\n\n“W… why?” he moaned, pathetically. “Wasn’t th… there another way…?”\n\nBefore the wolf could decide if he cared to respond or not, Pete returned with a small paper cup and an oversized straw. Jake was already licking his parched lips eagerly before the opening of the straw came within his reach. Even with his terror still very real, he couldn’t deny a desperate need for sustenance. It took him several tries to really secure his mouth around the straw though, and the cup was sucked dry in no time at all.\n\nDropping his head against the table to stare at the ceiling he breathed heavily and politely requested more under his breath. The small quantity had been little more than a tease. Before the boy could move to refill the cup though, Jake locked eyes with him and stared intensely. The next words to leave his mouth were barely a whisper and intended for Pete only as they were borne of a deluded torture victim.\n\n“I… I want… t’die, please...” he wheezed faintly, transmitting a fleeting sincerity before turning his head to stare at the ceiling once more.\n\n---\n\nPete watched the liquid in the cup slowly drain through the straw. The rabbit’s fight-or-flight reflexes had been painfully prolonged, and the poor bunny was exhausted. He soon emptied the cup of its contents and asked for more.\n\n“Sure..”\n\nHowever, as Pete started towards the sink, the bunny’s eyes locked onto him in a way that made Pete freeze.\n\n“An.. Anything else?”\n\nTo what Jake said next, Pete had no response. He just stood, frozen, his lips moving as if he were about to say something, but all he did in the end was walk slowly back to the sink to fill up the cup. The young mouse didn’t know what to say or do. Was this why Omega was so interested in Jake’s seed? To emotionally destroy Jake, and others with his genes, over, and over, and over again?\n\nPete eventually returned with another full cup of water, not saying another word as he watched Jake suck on the straw. Moments later, Catherine returned with a few leaves of lettuce, hopefully enough to hold Jake over until he could get a proper breakfast. She handed off the lettuce to Pete, who gladly offered the young buck one leaf after another. It wasn’t much, but Jake desperately needed it.\n\nBy this point, Omega was sitting and watching, waiting for Jake’s body to recover from the recent psychological torture. However, Omega wasn’t nearly done with him. Once it looked like Jake was ready for round 2, Omega approached, shooing Pete, who had just been cleaning up the vomit from the table and Jake’s shoulder, away from Jake’s table and raising it back to normal height.\n\n“Alright, little guy, let’s get you cleaned up and then we’ll get you some more food.”\n\nAs Omega wheeled Jake through the door leading into the washroom, Alex was standing free of his previous bondage, fur damp from his recent hosing and shivering slightly, the wounds on his ear cleaned and bandaged. The feline was about to take Jake’s table and prepare to clean him up as well, but Omega raised a paw.\n\n“I’ll take care of this. You get back to the clinic, and Alex, you can go, too. Whip up some breakfast for Jake.”\n\nAlex started moving towards the clinic, looking back with concern for a moment before a quick shooing motion of Omega’s paw urged him out of the door. The wolf, for the second time since Jake arrived, moved the table into position over the drain, turned it around, and locked the wheels into place.\n\n“Ah, Jake, such a nostalgic setting, don’t you think? Although last time, we had another little guest, on a table right over there, doing everything she could to keep Pete and Catherine from being separated, before I literally fucked the life out of her.”\n\nOmega gazed over at the spot where Samantha took her last breath, then directed his gaze back to Jake, grinning as he slipped his jacket off, hanging it on a support bar underneath Jake’s table before working his tie loose, and then unbuttoning his shirt, slowly stripping in front of Jake.\n\n“Of course, she was just another virgin cunt to ravage--someone disposable that I could rip into with every inch of my cock, and get one perfect moment of gratification from, even if it killed her.. and it did.”\n\nOmega had placed his shirt and tie under Jake’s table at this point, and then started to unbuckle his belt, and free his full sheath and peeking tip, erect and ready to force Jake to re-live his first day, almost as if he was seeing it through Samantha’s eyes.\n\n“But you, Jake.. You were the one I chose to keep, so that I could train your little hole to accept bigger, and bigger objects, until I could pump my seed into you without killing you, so I could do it again, and again, and again... “\n\nAfter Omega had removed the rest of his clothing, he slammed his palms down on either side of Jake’s head, locking eyes with him, that sadistic grin never fading, slowly pushing his table back until it was horizontal.\n\n“....and again…”\n\n---\n\nAfter Jake had sent Pete back for more water another three times, the rabbit was finally rehydrated enough to begin winding down from his earlier panic. The constant struggling had worked up a significant sweat, and unable to perspire, all of the heat had been dissipating through his ears, which would’ve been quite hot to the touch now, if anyone dared to test it. For the time being though he was left alone, and it was a reprieve he desperately needed. During the minutes that passed free from assault, Jake’s body was able to relax and give in to the aching throbs that hounded them.\n\nHe wouldn’t once let Omega out of his peripherals though, as a good size of his fear remained simply because of the wolf’s physical presence and that sickly smell of predator. Even when Catherine returned with a meager offering of food, and the buck was thus forced to divide his attention, he was unwilling to let either potential threat out of his sight. Not like it mattered, of course, as the rabbit was trapped and unable to go anywhere.\n\nWith half his focus on the fox, he watched with a grumbling tummy as she handed over the pittance of a meal to Pete, who promptly approached Jake to feed him. There were maybe ten whole leaves of lettuce and a few potato chunks and carrot slices. It was all bland and the butt-ends of produce. Most of the leaves were almost entirely white, the carrots were from the ends of the vegetable and the pieces of potato had brown spots and signs of early rot.\n\nThe meal was essentially scrap. Left overs. Catherine had been given little more that the rejected parts that would’ve been thrown away. And yet, Jake feverishly snatched up each piece he was offered, wincing only slightly at the unpleasant taste as he chewed and swallowed them one at a time until there were none left. The buck then rested his head again with deep-breathed sigh. Only a few more minutes would pass by after, during which Pete would obligate himself with cleaning the bile from Jake’s fur and table. The rabbit said nothing and barely responded other than to turn his head to the opposite side.\n\nIt was only just as the mouse was finishing that Omega finally spoke up, rising to his feet and approaching the table to shoo Pete away. By now the restrained rabbit had recovered enough that the sight of the wolf looming over him as he announced it was time for his cold shower, caused him to jump and tense his twinging muscles in fright. All of his limbs pulled on his bindings, but not with the same fervor as before. The pain in his wrists and ankles were partly to blame as, with the sudden loss of adrenaline, sore spots began to pop up everywhere.\n\nBefore he knew it, Omega was wheeling him to a very familiar place. Somewhere he’d hoped he would never have to go again. For the longest time he’d been receiving his ‘baths’ in a similar but much smaller room, a private cleaning stall specifically for him so treks to the basement weren’t so frequent. Of course, he was never alone, as someone was always there to control the hose and inflict the hardships he’d come to expect. It had rarely been the wolf himself, but as they reached the double doors and pushed through to the other side, Jake had a growing suspicion that the wolf wouldn’t be leaving any time soon.\n\nAs they moved, Jake couldn’t help but hold his head up to see where they were going. So as they entered the large and disturbing resting ground for Samantha’s tortured spirit, he spotted Alex immediately and responded with both ears shooting above his head and a sudden, energetic writhing in his restraints. He was more than grateful to see the mouse not only still alive, but treated for the wound to his ear which looked only slightly worse for wear thanks to the bandages that were fastened to it.\n\nSlick with water and shivering, the mouse met his gaze and the pair shared a worried look. The feline who’d been washing Alex proceeded to move towards Jake, which would’ve been a welcome relief to the exhausted rabbit, but Omega raised a paw and announced he’d take care of it himself. Jake’s ears dropped almost instantaneously and his expression scrunched up in growing terror again. The one thing he’d hoped he was wrong about turned out coming true. Omega was going to clean him again, just like the day he…\n\nDismissing both Alex and the cat, with the mouse grudgingly departing after Omega had to shoo him off, the table started rolling again, into the center of the room near the drain. Exactly like before, Jake’s was positioned right where he’d been during that fateful event. Already the buck couldn’t take his eyes off the drain where Samantha’s blood had flowed, thick and bright with diminishing life before hers was ultimately extinguished.\n\nStill focused on that spot, void of blood but not Jake’s the memory of it, Omega suddenly spoke up beside him, making the rabbit jump and cringe as his body punished him with fresh aches and pains. The wolf must’ve planned this intentionally, or seen something in the boy’s grief-stricken expression, because he was casually offering a verbal reminder of how this was the place where his friend died. Where he’d been forced to watch her die. A whimpering cry escaped Jake, but little else. He was too broken up over the memories that came flooding back to even attempt forming words.\n\nHe didn’t have to, though. Omega, moving into Jake’s worried field of vision, started to disrobe in an ominously slow fashion while he continued to spew vile commentary about his deceased friend. He talked about her like she was nothing. Just another disposable toy he could break and throw away. It infuriated the buck, whose fearful expression scrunched further into one a look of indignation.\n\nIt didn’t last long though. Once Omega was shirtless and unfastening his pants, his little monologue took a drastic turn for the worse that Jake should’ve expected by now, but was still woefully unprepared for. The wolf dropped his pants to reveal a sheath swollen with lust for the bunny, tip peeking free and every bit as terrifying to look at as he remembered. Omega’s focus had turned fully to Jake as he provided a cringe-inducing reminder of the past week in which he’d been forced to hold increasingly large objects in his backside for hours at a time; solely for the purpose of preparing him so that the first time the wolf raped him, he wouldn’t suffer Samantha’s fate.\n\nJake was already sobbing before Omega had finished. The mention of filling him with semen over and over and over, was the final straw that broke his composure. He already knew what was coming. He was going to be raped again. Right here in the same room where that very act had ended the life of the only living person in this nightmare who was willing to sacrifice themselves for him. The very idea was a crippling blow to his psyche and to further the torment, Omega finished his frightening speech with two paws slamming against the table to either side of Jake’s head.\n\nThe sudden and violent action made the buck jump and shriek sharply, his entire body trying to curl inwards sharply as he flinched against that frightening, yellow-eyed gaze. Those last two words left Omega’s mouth and Jake whined in anticipatory terror. He was forced to meet those soulless orbs as the wolf’s grin never faltered. Then the table was suddenly forced flat again and the cub squealed, his breathing quickening and his race beginning the long terrible race towards full-on panic. By now Jake had found his voice again, but all he could really offer were more pleas.\n\n“N-no, no, please,” he whimpered. “N-not again. Mister Omega, please. I--I’m sorry! W-whatever I did, I’m sorry! I’ll do whatever you want, please. I-I-I promise! I’ll be good, I won’t disobey, I won’t bite, I won’t do anything, just--please! Don’t put that--t-that thing in--inside me again, PLEASE!”\n\n---\n\nOmega’s grin widened as Jake’s panic began to grow. The terror in those eyes from his instinctual fear of predators combined with the traumatic memories Omega had forced upon him.. It all fell together in the moments when Omega was hovering over his little prey, his eager member twitching with excitement, longing for a hole to plunge into. He shook his head slowly, his eyes locked onto Jake’s as he restated what he had told the boy the night prior.\n\n“This isn’t about punishment, Jake. It never was.”\n\nOmega said this as he reached below the table to lock the rotating platform into place, and climbed onto the surface. The wolf had Jake in the exact position Samantha was in that night, and it was no mystery what his next move would be. He leaned down and wrapped an arm under Jake’s squirming waist, pressing Jake’s sheath and lower abdomen against the wolf’s body as he shuffled into position.\n\n“And if you bite again, I’ll bite something off.. before busting those teeth out.”\n\nOmega wasn’t sure if, during the heights of Jake’s terror, that he wouldn’t lose control of himself and bite anyway, so he would be wary of Jake’s jaws this time. For now, he had raised Jake from the table to the appropriate height to reach underneath his tail with the wet, pre-seeping tip, gripping behind his knot to squirt one coat of pre after another against that tight pucker, adjusting the angle to line up with Jake’s anus.\n\nThe wolf prolonged this moment, milking Jake’s fear as he lightly jerked his hips, pretending he was about to jab that familiar organ inside hard, but stopping short of actually penetrating. All the while, he continued to squirt pre just inside Jake’s anus, applying a healthy coating to help prevent serious damage.\n\nOnce he was satisfied with the fear he was inducing in his little prey, the wolf suddenly thrust forward. The penetration was sudden, but only half an inch before the wolf met resistance. Still, his momentum didn’t stop, growling with lust as he felt those hot confines stretch around his cock, teeth bared over the 8-year-old as he pushed farther in. With Jake’s recent encounters with Sid and Shawn, he was confident in pushing all the way in towards the knot, and immediately pulling back for a violent thrust inward. He held his position after the second thrust, but only for a brief few seconds before commencing the buck’s long session of lustful torture with slow, deep motions to prepare Jake’s rectal sphincter for the coming assault.\n\n---\n\nIn a single instant, all of Jake’s hopes for an Omega who would reward rather than harm him if he obeyed and did as he was told, were shattered when the man looming over him and staring him in this face slowly shook his head. The wolf simply repeated what he’d said the day before, that this whole endeavor had nothing to do with being punished. At that moment the buck’s spirit faltered. His bright blue eyes shimmered with fresh tears and he squinted against them, unable to tear his frightened gaze away from Omega’s.\n\nThe struggle to grasp the reality was clear on Jake’s face, and once he’d reached the pivotal point of his horrifying revelation that the pain would keep coming in an endless cycle of torment, perhaps for the rest of his life, Omega finally pulled away, leaving the rabbit to sob loudly and whimper in fearful protest as he then climbed upon the table to straddle the small cub beneath him. The dark-haired wolf, completely naked, towered above the trembling cub, who was forced to stare up at the impressive musculature and form of his impending rapist.\n\nHe was huge; twice the buck’s size. Strong and fit and dripping with insatiable lust for his little pet. What made the sight so much worse though, aside from the fact his limbs were restrained, was that Omega’s big black scrotum, swollen sheath and protruding erection were making a hot spot on Jake’s abdomen. The poor rabbit’s gaze couldn’t help but find themselves landing on the very thing that would so soon be causing him unimaginable pain again. Just the sight had him trembling and whimpering loudly as the wolf slipped an arm under his backside to raise it from the table until his shackles were pulled taut.\n\nWide-eyed with growing panic, he watched Omega shuffle downward to get his genitals, now gone from Jake’s sight, low enough to find their target. All the while the wolf offered a passing warning that struck the rabbit more strongly than it was probably intended to as he was calmly assured that another incident like before would lead to something else being bitten off. Jake didn’t need to dredge up memories about the chunk ripped from his ear to show with obvious horror, but his double-crossing subconscious decided to anyway, and the response was decidedly satisfying for the wolf.\n\nNot another word was uttered as Jake was left with only his sense of touch to go by in judging when that first, fateful, agonizing thrust would come. He thought for a brief moment that, if he were able to anticipate it, he might better prepare himself. Already he was trying to relax his sphincter to provide minimal resistance, in the hopes that if Omega got what he wanted quickly this horrible abuse would be over with sooner and he could return to his cell, sore but still alive. He thought he had it figured out, that if he gritted his teeth and forced himself to focus, that he could take it without so much pain.\n\nThen a hot fluid struck his exposed anus, tail forced out of the way to give unrestricted access as the pre-cum dribbled down over his fleshy hole. The sensation was sudden and alarming, causing the buck to clench involuntarily, but there was no pain. Already he’d failed to predict the start to his latest rape session with Omega, and he continued to show little discipline as each new glob of fluid that splattered against his backside was met with another flex of his sphincter. He was panicking too much and assuming every little bit of contact was that moment he dreaded.\n\nEventually Omega started taking advantage of the rabbit’s fearful apprehension by further teasing his wounded tail-hole with feigned thrusts that implied force and pain, but barely spread the tight ring of muscles that desperately wanted to refuse entry. There was no controlling himself, no way to prepare, to focus on just letting it happen. Each prod against his back door made him squeal and whine in-between shuddering breaths. In a last ditch effort, he attempted to plead one more time for Omega to change his mind.\n\n“P-please, Omega,” he sniffled. “I’ll--I’ll do anything else, please I promise. Please don’t do it again... It--it hurt so much last time. I-I-I can’t stand it anymore, please, I--AH!!”\n\nA final fake thrust cut his plea short and he didn’t bother to continue as the man obviously hadn’t been paying attention anyway. Rather, he’d been milking Jake’s terror, which he had to offer in excess. Just the realization that there was no escaping this was enough for the boy to tug at his restraints and wail with misery. It was then, however, when the moment he’d been expecting. And it came completely unexpectedly.\n\nOmega thrust forward hard, and Jake howled sharply. Despite the sudden, fiery pain, his cry was cut short by a strained grunt as his whole body was slid upward along the table. His legs were pulled taut, forcing his thighs to close in around the organ that had just forced its way barely half an inch into the buck’s rectum before bruised, aching muscles clamped down to slow its progress. The wolf didn’t stop applying pressure though. Instead he kept pushing forward to the tune of the rabbit groaning loudly every other breath as all of his effort went into resisting the inevitable.\n\nJake’s sphincter and inner muscles were still quite unyielding, but the rabbit couldn’t keep it up forever and little by little, that throbbing organ spread his fleshy ring and pressed deeper and deeper, filling his bowels with the familiar, uncomfortable pressure and distinct pulsing ache that he’d come to recognize as Omega’s canid member buried up to the knot. The entry had been less painful than expected thanks to the wolf’s generous application of his own pre-cum.\n\nThe entire time Omega was growling like a feral wolf, sending chills up the rabbit’s spine as he pulled on his wrist-straps, but it was only when the massive intrusion in his backside suddenly retreated and drove itself inward again that Jake realized something was different. His rapist, still every inch the mind-numbingly frightening predator, was taking it slower than usual. Even his violent thrust had less power behind it than he’d been anticipating. It still hurt immensely despite the lubrication, and Jake yelped loudly in pain when it butted up against the furthest reaches of his rectum, but to his surprise it was followed by a pause.\n\nThis unusual interlude gave the poor buck the chance to relax just a little. He wanted desperately to become accustomed to this agony in the hopes that if Omega didn’t get the response he wanted, his interest in tormenting the rabbit would diminish. As much as he desired a future where the wolf no longer took pleasure in causing him pain, it was little more than a fantasy. He tried to cling to it though, even as the thrusts resumed.\n\nJake’s entire body tensed then, expecting at any moment for Omega to lose himself to his primal desires and elicit the screams he so clearly desired. It quickly became apparent however, the his tormentor was going about his routine of sexual abuse very differently. Where before he’d forced his manhood deep into the cub with ruthless, unforgiving thrusts, assaulting his insides with such speed and ferocity that his minimal use of lubrication led to searing pain and fresh tears in the inner walls of his anal cavity, now he was moving with slow, deliberate motions. The extra fluid might’ve been playing a role to lessen the pain as well, but it was still no picnic by far.\n\nGrunting and gasping with every movement, Jake’s insides were struggling to flex in rhythm to the motion. Forward thrusts forced him towards the top of the table, causing his sheath, limp and soft now, to flop around, while every extraction that followed pulled painfully on his clenching sphincter, but the experience overall was… oddly tolerable. Jake had fully expected another session of careless unforgiving thrusts tearing up his insides and spilling fresh blood all over as wave upon wave of excruciating pain racked his body. But this… it bordered on being gentle.\n\nThe fact remained however, that Omega had him strapped down and was forcibly raping his little tail-hole, something the rabbit was unlikely to ever grow accustomed to, and Jake’s panic and instinctual fear were still present in his writhing, struggling and whimpering, grunting cries. The forced invasion of his insides hurt a lot, there was no denying it. Jake was still a sobbing mess, expressing every ounce of his displeasure as his rectum was filled to bursting and subsequently emptied in what seemed like an never-ending cycle.\n\nBut he was… managing to cope. Just barely. His body began responding in different ways, learning the best response to minimize the pain of his widely stretched sphincter, when to tense against the fiery hot organ inside him, and how to manage the extraction without his innards threatening to invert. Eventually a solid rhythm formed, and though Jake was crushed to have his naked body molested once more, his sobbing and fearful whines gradually gave way to strained grunts and unhappy moans as Omega continued his steady efforts.\n\nAt some point Jake had turned his head to the side and closed his eyes, but the ever present musk was making it impossible to accept what was happening completely. Every once in awhile, his instincts would incite a panic, during which he’d tug frantically at his restraints and whine loudly in pain, but had he known Omega was just preparing him for something so much worse, he almost certainly wouldn’t have been so complacent.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "HOTEL OMEGA

Despite being horrified and ashamed by his behavior, and simultaneously worried for Candace’s well-being, Jake couldn’t bring himself to make direct eye-contact. His ears hung low and burned hot with humiliation and fear. Just like before with his friend Alex, the poor buck had lost all control and given in to his instincts. He couldn’t believe himself. It had happened again, without any warning. Back then, the driving force that made him hurt the younger mouse was Omega himself. Although he wasn’t here now to cause it again, it seemed a mark had been left on Jake’s fragile psyche. Without even realizing it, he was subconsciously associating the act of mating with a struggle for power and domination.

Frightened by his own actions and what it might mean, the young rabbit hugged himself tightly and shivered as he listened to the skunk nearby. She was sitting up again, but only managed two words before a knock on the door drew the attention of both cubs. Jake practically jumped out of his skin, especially upon realizing that Sid was on the other side of the door, asking if things were okay. Chills ran up and down his spine as the buck expected Candace to tell the opossum everything. He was so frightened by the prospect of making enemies of the two people who’d risked their own safety to save him, that he barely heard Candace as she assured the man nothing was wrong.

By the time Sid had returned to his seat to eat his burger, Jake was visibly trembling on the spot, legs folded beneath him and thighs pressed together tightly around his limp and retreating penis. He didn’t register the opossum’s departure until Candace suddenly came closer and wrapped an arm around him lovingly. The gesture ultimately helped to sooth some of his frayed nerves, but not before he jumped in response to that first touch. His skin was crawling for a while at first too as he listened quietly to the girl’s words.

She acknowledged her error in judgement, and seemed to shrug off the whole incident entirely, but Jake couldn’t help feeling upset with himself. He shouldn’t have let himself get carried away like that. It would’ve never happened if that awful wolf hadn’t tormented him by forcing him to hurt his only friend in this nightmare. If anything, it was all Omega’s fault. Because of Omega, Jake couldn’t trust himself anymore, and that made him angry. He hated that horrible beast, but amongst his furious thoughts towards the lupine monster, there was confusion and fear. There was still a chance that Omega would find out what happened, track him down and drag him, kicking and screaming, back to that place of hopeless despair and unimaginable pain.

He didn’t realize at first, but Jake had begun sobbing very softly under his breath, nuzzling into Candace’s embrace as he felt her lips meet the top of his head for a gentle kiss. She continued to speak, only now she was focused on assuring him he did okay, that she wasn’t hurt or afraid of him now like Alex had been. The skunk described the experience as ‘intense’, which made Jake blush deeply with embarrassment, but what really surprised him was when she bopped him lightly on his nose and promised to be better prepared…

“N… next time?” Jake squeaked, eyes suddenly wide and body shivering. “I--I don’t--I don’t if I can--W-w-what if I--?”

---

Candice interrupted Jake’s understandable concern with another light tap on the nose.

“Of course you can. As long as I’m properly prepared, you have nothing to worry about, cutie. You do have a wild side like I’ve never seen before, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. I can take it. I WANT to take it. Next time, I’ll be ready for it. Now come. Let’s go get you something to eat.”

Candice gently and patiently helped Jake off of the bed, and into his new clothes before leading him into the living room, where Sid had just finished his burger, smiling and standing as the two left the bedroom, Candice still naked while Jake’s little body was covered with comfortable boy’s clothing.

“Ah, Jake, I almost forgot. I have a surprise for you. How would you like to send a letter to your parents?”

“Um..!”

Candice’s voice showed obvious signs of worry as soon as Sid brought up what he expected would brighten Jake’s spirits immensely. Sid’s eyes narrowed at Candice’s barely contained outburst.

“Something wrong, babe?”

“Not.. well.. I.. I thought we were going to wait a little while longer before.. trying this, I mean.. Sh-shouldn’t we.. make sure it’s safe to..”

“Nonsense, it’ll be perfectly fine. I think you need to rest a little. I know you need it.”

Candice stood frozen in place for a moment, but nodded and slowly moved towards the bedroom, disappearing inside and closing the door without another word. Sid let out a light chuckle before producing a piece of blank paper and a pen.

“I’m sure you’d like to let your parents know you’re okay and that you’ll be seeing them again soon, right?” Sid handed the paper and pen to the little rabbit before producing an envelope as well. “Oh, and when you’re done with your letter, go ahead and write down your address on this envelope, and we’ll make sure it gets to them.”

---

The second bop to his nose not only halted his worried babbling, but made him sniffle with the forgotten tears welled up in his eyes. Candace offered more assurances, some of which made Jake blush even deeper, but ultimately they did little to lift his burden. He’d never been described as ‘wild’ in his life, so for the skunk to describe what happened as a peek into his ‘wild-side’, a growing sense of dread began to fester. If losing control like that and putting friends and family in danger was what Candace called his wild-side, then he never wanted to go there again.

Fortunately, the young skunk decided that they’d stop in favor of food, which Jake wasn’t about to argue. All that exertion had made him hungry again. Besides, he needed something to take his mind off what had just transpired.

Responding to Candace with a softly spoken, “Okay,” Jake was more than eager to accept her assistance in getting off the bed such that he could keep his privates concealed until he was fully clothed again. The layer of protective fabric did well to brighten the buck’s mood once more, though he still felt sorry whenever he gazed upon Candace and her still naked form.

Once again feeling self-conscious about seeing someone else without clothes, Jake eventually gave up looking in the skunk’s direction at all as they returned to the living-room. The cub was hugging himself as if he were cold, but really it was just to give his arms somewhere to be other than at his sides. He felt more comfortable this way and it was evident in his posture as he followed Candace.

Sid was there to greet the pair, but the first words out of his mouth were in regards to something that surprised the rabbit greatly. Both ears shot up over his head at the very possibility of sending a letter to his parents. Already he was eager to formulate everything he wanted to say to them and get writing, but a sudden, startled noise from Candace drew Jake’s immediate attention. Despite himself, the buck looked straight up at the girl beside him, eyes wide and curious as he observed her facial expression following Sid’s news.

Tilting his head, Jake frowned. Sid had addressed the skunk and now she was stammering a response that was oddly relatable, even though he had no idea what exactly she meant. Why was she so worried about him writing a letter? Even after the opossum’s reassurance, she still looked concerned. Almost like there was something she knew that he didn’t, but he couldn’t place it.

When Sid offered the suggestion that she was just tired, Jake’s attention shifted abruptly. That made perfect sense to him. He’d often been confused during that long week of torment, due to the fact he could barely sleep for fear Omega would return to molest him. Just thinking about it made him shudder and like that his attention shifted again, this time back to what he would write to his parents.

Without another word, Candace had departed and retreated back into the bedroom, leaving Jake to stand before Sid who merely chuckled at the girl’s odd behavior. What interested the young rabbit were the pen and paper now being offered to him. Eagerly, he accepted both items and was about to run to the couch to write on one of the TV trays when the opossum produced an envelope as well. Sid instructed him to write his address and the buck nodded.

“Okay, I will,” he said, taking the envelope and moving at a pace surprisingly slower than usual thanks to his most recent injuries.

Though he’d been sufficiently distracted for much of the time and had the opportunity to recover, when Jake reached the couch to sit and prepare his letter, old pains immediately flared up. The most notable ache was deep inside his body somewhere, the spot that perverted otter had repeatedly pummeled while he raped the then paralyzed cub. Pulsing along with it, however, was also the injury to his foot for where he’d viciously stomped on the disc-case containing the DVD of cubs being abused.

These injuries returned to the front of his mind and with them, all the traumatizing memories they were associated with. Ultimately it led to a very emotional letter wherein Jake described in as much detail as he could remember, all of the terrible events that had taken place. His subconscious naturally glossed over the worst of his personal experiences, dumbing many of them down to descriptions like “I got hurt really bad” or “The bad man punished me”.

Jake worked at the letter for the better part of an hour, asking for more paper on occasion and at one point inquiring to Sid about Candace. He wanted to know if she was okay and whether she was upset about something. When he got his answer, he wasn’t too happy, but he continued on to finish his letter with a page long spiel about how much he loved and missed his family and wanted to see them again so badly.

He was practically in tears by the end, but as he wrote the final words, “Love, Jake”, his despair eased off. Having vented all of his pent up frustrations on paper, the buck’s shoulders suddenly felt a little lighter. Just a quick wipe of each eyes was all he needed before moving on to the envelope. He’d filled out envelopes enough times in the past to remember which address went where, however after writing his full name and street number, he suddenly blanked on the rest. Jake couldn’t remember if it was Copper Crescent or Cutter Boulevard. It was a very vital piece of information, and he wanted to get it right.

Thinking about it long and hard, the boy filled in the rest of the information as best he could recall, though both his format and handwriting were sloppy. When he came back to the address and still wasn’t sure, he picked at random and chose Copper Crescent as it was the most familiar in his mind. Still, the buck was worried he might’ve made a mistake. He wanted his letter to have every possible chance of reaching his family, especially after all the effort he’d put into it. Almost nothing had been left out, as he’d hoped every little bit of information would help his parents and perhaps the police to one day arrest Omega and shut down his terrible business.

When he was finally finished, Jake folded up each of his papers, one by one stuffing them into the envelope which he licked and sealed to ensure the safety of its contents. Only then did the rabbit climb to his feet again and pad over to Sid awkwardly. He stopped short and held up the stuffed envelope with a small smile.

“All done, Mister Sid,” he said sweetly, biting his lip with just a hint of nervousness.

---

Sid smiled as Jake quickly took the paper and almost immediately began writing the letter to his parents, surprised that Candice’s concerns didn’t make Jake nervous, at least not at first. He was all too eager to trust Sid with such sensitive information. It wasn’t long, however, that Candice’s outburst creeped its way into the front of the young buck’s mind.

“She’ll be alright. I think she’s just not eager to let you go. She’d rather you stay with us for awhile longer, but she knows you can’t stay here. You don’t belong in such a place. You belong back home with your family.”

Jake didn’t seem too happy with the fact that Candice had made an attempt to delay his escape from the underground world he was stuck in, but as Sid took the completed letter and envelope from the boy, he gave him a quick pat and attempted to brush off the slight tension that Candice seemed to have caused.

“Don’t worry about Candice, Jake. No matter how badly she wants you to stay with us, she knows what’s best for you. She just really seems to like you quite a lot.”

Sid made his way into the kitchen, placing the letter on the counter as he passed it, and opened a cabinet near the fridge.

“Anyway, while Candice is resting, I can fix you up a little something to eat before bed. How about some hot noodles? Heh, it’s about the only meal I can prepare well that doesn’t have meat in it.”

Before Jake could answer, Sid was already taking a packet of noodles from the cabinet before filling a pot with water. As the water started to heat up on the stove, Sid leaned over the counter, paws on his chin as he propped himself on his elbows, looking down at Jake with a wink.

“So.. mind if I ask how things went with you and Candice in the bedroom, or would you rather keep it between the two of you? It sounded like quite a party.”

After handing over the letter, the pat he received from Sid helped to ease his lingering concern for the girl. The final comment the opossum offered as he stood up to move into the kitchen however, brought a familiar feeling of warmth to the little buck’s cheeks, causing him to hunch his shoulders ever so slightly as he followed after his rescuer.

“W-well… I really like her too, but…” he said softly, watching Sid place the letter on the kitchen’s island countertop.

Rather than follow the marsupial into the kitchen, Jake hung near the island instead, standing on the tips of his toes to peer over it at Sid’s back. He was carrying on about having something to eat while Candace rested, and that prospect alone had his attention at first. However as the stood at the counter, his gaze dropped to the envelope, face-down and displaying his poor handwriting. The address he’d written was still bugging him so, in an attempt to correct what he suspected was an error, the rabbit wielded the pen he was still holding and scratched at the paper while Sid was busy with the soup packet.

“Noodles are fine…” he mumbled distractedly, even though it was already being prepared.

Straining to see over the top of the counter so much that he was balancing on just the toes of his one good foot, Jake’s poor angle meant most of his pen strokes missed their mark, and he was garbling the current address more that he was defining the other. Unable to reliably see what he was doing, he finished his corrections as best he could and dropped back down onto his heels. The pen was left behind as Jake backed up to see Sid.

Having just finished getting the soup to start boiling, he now leaned over the countertop and stared down at Jake standing a few feet back. The buck met Sid’s gaze for a moment but the instant he inquired about what he and Candace had been doing in the bedroom, his eyes lowered sharply, accompanied by his ears. Pressed firmly against his back they burned with hidden shame and concern as Jake suddenly grew agitated and nervous.

“Um… W...well…” he stuttered softly, looking away in shame. He couldn’t just lie to his savior. “I uhm… Candace, she… I-I told her I didn’t want to… but… I think… I scared her a--and maybe h-hurt her? I-i-it’s not my fault, though! O-Omega, he--he-he made me do something so t-terrible and… I just… I can’t help it. My mommy and daddy said I have a condition. I-I-I used to think it just made me really scared all the time but… I think it… I think it makes me bad, now. I don’t wanna be bad, Sid. Am I bad? Is--is she afraid of me?”

The buck was clearly on the verge of tears again, having worked himself up in just a matter of seconds. He’d honestly hoped to avoid a confrontation, but guilt and shame had been building in the back of his mind the entire time he worked on his letter.

---

“Oh, no no no no, of course you’re not a bad kid..”

Sid moved around the counter to run his paw down the back of Jake’s head, although this contact was cut short as Sid heard the water begin to boil. Sid moved back into the kitchen to start preparing the noodles for his conflicted little guest.

“Jake, I know what happened between you and Alex, and just because you couldn’t control yourself, it doesn’t make you a bad kid at all. Hell, if you were that bad, you wouldn’t care so much about hurting him, or Candice. As for Candice, think about it. If you really hurt and scared her as bad as you think you did, do you really think she would want so much for you to stick around longer?”

After boiling the noodles and adding the flavor packet, Sid moved the noodles into a bowl, but as he was bringing the bowl past the counter, his eyes fell to the modified address on the envelope.

“Heh, kid, nobody’s going to be able to read that address. Here, let me fix that for you.”

Sid produced another envelope and placed it onto the counter, taking the pen in his own paw, making a light scribble to make sure it would write before asking Jake what his address was. Sid took down the address Jake dictated to him, making it much more clear than the 8-year-old’s illegible scribbles.

“Done. I’ll send this thing off first thing in the morning.”

Sid ripped open the botched envelope, and moved the letter to the new one, licking the seal to close it and placing the letter back on the counter before presenting Jake with his bowl of noodles. He then stepped over to the phone, dialing a few numbers, much fewer than there would be for a normal number, but the faint sounds of a voice on the other end would reach Jake’s ears.

“Hey it’s Sid. Got a pickup for you in the morning. Any time you’re ready.”

After some short acknowledgements, the call was ended. Sid placed the phone on the base and moved to Jake, giving him one final pat before moving towards the bedroom.

“You can watch TV or something if you want, but I suggest you get some sleep as early as you can. Candice and I have a very busy day planned for you tomorrow, and a huge surprise.”

---

In response to Jake’s obvious distress, the cub was grateful to see Sid come running to comfort him, even if it made him feel a little guilty for seeking attention. It didn’t last very long however before the opossum was returning to the stove-top to finish making the noodle soup. His act of kindness had done its work though, as the young rabbit was watching the man intensely while he continued to explain away his fears and doubts. It helped immensely that Sid had some valid points, especially in regard to Candace.

Like Sid had said, if she were really afraid, angry or upset with him for what happened earlier, she wouldn’t still be so eager for him to stay. And honestly he considered it for a fleeting moment, but his family bond was much too strong to be given up for a couple of strangers in a scary underground city where cubs were abused on a daily basis. Much as he liked the skunk, he wanted to go home. And honestly, he would have preferred to bring her and Sid with him.

Jake suspected his father would know someone in town who’d be kind enough to give Sid a steady job despite his criminal record, and Candace would get to live above ground where she could see the sky and swim in the local lake. She could even enroll in classes at school where he’d get to see her often and be able to hang out together during recess. He’d honestly enjoy that. In fact, the mental image he conjured was so appealing he decided to try asking them again sometime to run away with him.

For now, however, the buck’s focus returned to the present as Sid was approaching with a fresh, steaming bowl of soup. Jake’s ears perked up again as he licked his lips hungrily, but the opossum stopped short of delivering the meal. His gaze had honed in on the letter mangled by the boy’s awful writing. Sid took one look and stated frankly that no one would be able to decipher the address. Immediately the buck’s ears dropped again and he frowned.

“S-sorry, I was just.. trying to fix it,” he said softly in defense.

Rather than further drive home the fact that his writing was terrible, Sid acquired another envelope, tested the pen and then asked for Jake’s address. The boy didn’t respond immediately though as he was still uncertain which one was correct. He’d not had to remember his street number or address for the first two years he’d been living in his new rural home as he was rarely more than three blocks from home.

“Oh, um… I’m not sure,” he said, finally, wincing. “I-I mean I’m sure, just… Sorry. N-nevermind. I’m… pretty sure its twenty-three Cutter Boulevard.”

With his cheeks warm again, Jake stepped forward and stood on his toes again to watch as Sid copied the information from the previous envelope to the new one. The opossum then announced he was finished and unceremoniously ripped open the defunct envelope to pull out Jake’s carefully packaged letter and insert it into the fresh one. The buck watched intently, ears and nose twitching as he watched Sid lick the envelope to seal it shut. He secretly wanted to that part again himself, but he said nothing.

As soon as he was done, Sid put the newly sealed letter on the counter and drew Jake’s attention away from it with the deliciously spicy aroma of noodle soup. With nostrils flaring eagerly, the cub accepted his meal and immediately took it to the nearest TV-tray to sit and begin eating. However, before he could even enjoy his first mouthful, the sound of Sid dialing a phone nearby drew his focus. The opossum was talking to someone about a pick-up in the morning, which Jake assumed was in regard to the letter. He paid little mind to the person on the other end of the line and returned his concentration to his soup.

The first spoonful passed between his bucked teeth and deposited the soupy noodles into his molars where he could properly chew his food. Immediately after, a paw came down on his shoulder to pat him gently before moving away. On his way to the bedroom, Sid offered some parting words in which he suggested Jake watch TV. In the same breath however, he advised Jake not to stay up too late because he and Candace had plans and a big surprise. That news both tickled his curiosity and left him with a sense of worrying dread.

“W-what kind of surprise?” he asked after the opossum, but the door to the bedroom was already latching shut.

Frowning slightly, Jake twisted back around in his seat and loomed over his soup to continue eating. That last teasing statement had butterflies beginning to sprout in the young buck’s belly. What kind of surprise did he mean? Would he be going home tomorrow? That would be wonderful! Although… unlikely. Maybe Sid was going to bring him more clothes. Something that fit a little better. Or… maybe Candace would try to talk him into doing naughty things again… Jake shivered at the thought, mostly out of fear of what might happen. He was certain though, that it would be an even worse surprise if Sid himself planned to get involved as well.

After his experience with Omega and that one night in which he’d slept with a naked Sid, poor Jake was having serious trouble trusting males in his current environment. He believed Sid was kind and good-spirited and wouldn’t dare touch him inappropriately, but at the same time he was assaulted with fearful scenarios in which instead of being abused by Omega, it was the savior opossum instead.

So plagued by those final parting words was Jake, that the rest of his night was fitful and resulted in him turning in much later than anticipated. He’d managed a few long hours of television before his own thoughts drove him to seek rest. However, he wouldn’t fall asleep until somewhere close to midnight, and even then he was restless beneath the covers as he lay on the couch. Come morning, however, Jake finally became still and placid, deeply asleep and safe from the worst of the nightmares.

---

Jake wasn’t the only one having trouble sleeping. Although Candice pretended to be asleep as Sid entered the room, she was fully awake. Her mind was full of dread. There was something that weighed heavily on her mind. She dare not mention it to Sid, in case she elected to take drastic action.

All night, she turned slowly, only catching a few minutes to an hour at a time of sleep before she awoke again with that same feeling of dread. Sid was sleeping soundly, and eventually Jake was too, silent and still on the couch. Candice, however, continued to remain awake. She tried desperately to calm herself, telling herself that these feelings would pass, but nothing worked.

Eventually, however, she could stand the dread and guilt hanging over her not a moment longer. It was at least 5am topside when she made the decision to act, slipping slowly out of bed and making her way into the living room with slow, quiet movements. She slid the bedroom door open slowly, then closed it with as little sound as possible. Once she saw Jake, sleeping cutely on the couch, her resolve was solidified.

The naked skunk picked up one of the pouches she and Sid had returned with, quietly filling it with food items, and finally picking up Jake’s letter from the counter, stuffing it into the pouch and moving to the couch. The dread was clear in her expression as she placed her paw on Jake and rocked him gently, whispering until the young buck was awake.

“Jake.. Jake wake up..” Once their eyes met, hers immediately welled up with tears. “Stay quiet, Jake. Don’t wake Sid. We have to get out of here. We have to run..”

It was pretty clear that Jake wanted an explanation, but Candice’s expression revealed that she didn’t want to give one to him. However, she couldn’t just leave him in the dark and expect him to just trust her.

“Jake… Omega.. knows you’re here..”

Before Jake could give a voice to the feelings that statement would trigger, she gently clasped her paw over his muzzle, desperately trying to keep him quiet.

“Shhh! Please..! You have to stay quiet. I promise I’ll explain everything, but we have to leave right now before he finds you..!”

Candice then quickly tiptoed towards the front door, hoping that Jake was right behind her. She slowly unlatched it and creaked it open slowly, peaking out into the dimly lit alcove before stepping out and waving for Jake to follow her to Sid’s truck.

---

From Jake’s perspective, one moment his eyes had been open and the next they were shut. When they opened again after what only felt like moments, he was greeted by a fuzzy darkness and the raspy sound of whispers. The buck groaned softly, resisting Candace’s attempts to rouse him from his peaceful slumber at first, but when his sleepy gaze met hers, a shimmer in the dim light cast by the entertainment system nearby caught his attention.

“C… Candace…?” he groaned softly. “What’re y--are you… crying?”

Rather than answer the skunk immediately told him to keep quiet and to not wake Sid. Though deeply confused, and still groggy, something about the urgency in her hushed tone aroused a familiar feeling of fear. And seeing the usually happy-go-lucky girl suddenly teary-eyed in the dark, whispering cautions to him, the buck’s instincts were quick to activate, however, along with them came Jake’s usual insecurities.

“Wha--what’s going on?” he asked in a soft but panicked whisper. He’d never seen Candace like this before and it was scaring him.

She must’ve sensed his trepidation and uncertainty, as no sooner had the question left his lips did she state with horrific bluntness that Omega knew he was here. Jake’s reaction was so easily anticipated that Candace had a paw covering his maw before he could even form a single word. “Wh--!?” was the only sound he made, eyes wide with terror and disbelief.

Had she not pre-emptively silenced him, Jake’s shock might’ve woken half the underground residents. Fortunately, however, she was able to talk him down from an all-out hysteria. He listened with eyes wide as saucers, breathing heavily through flaring nostrils while Candace promised to explain everything later. He believed her and he trusted her, and even though he wasn’t sure if this was just a really vivid nightmare, there was no one else he’d rather be with at this moment than her.

As soon as Candace finished speaking, Jake was nodding his head vigorously in affirmation, such that when she released him he was silent and moved like a frantic little rodent fleeing an unseen predator. His only action was to scoop up the blanket he’d been sleeping under and hold it tightly in his arms as he crawled off the couch and followed after the naked skunk.

He didn’t realize just how unclad she was until he reached the open apartment door and saw her exposed body light up under the dim light-bulb beyond. Jake stopped short and stared at her naked backside with a momentary blush before he shook his head and realized this was too lucid to be a dream. And if it wasn’t a dream then…

“What about Sid?” he asked quietly from the open door, watching as Candace made her way to the truck. “C-Candace!” he whispered loudly. “We can’t just--leave Sid, what if Omega--!”

Prancing on the spot indecisively, Jake whined and rushed out into the open on the tips of his toes, quickly closing the distance between himself and Candace, before reiterating his concern.

“Please, we--we can’t leave him! He saved me from Omega, I--I can’t just--”

---

Candice was just as terrified as Jake at this point. She had no idea where they were going to go, or how on earth they were going to hide the brands on their thighs. She only knew that she had to get Jake away. If they wandered too far, and someone spotted those brands… Her train of thought was interrupted by Jake’s concern for Sid. Candice was full of conflict, trying to think of a way to keep Jake moving without revealing too much. If she told him the truth, he might react badly and wake Sid, or hesitate too long.

“Don’t worry about Sid. He’ll be fine.”

With that, her eyes fixed on the curtain beside the front door. She grabbed the fabric with her claws, ripping, tearing a long strip as silently as possible, then a second strap. She quickly tied the first strap around her thigh, hiding the brand. It would likely look suspicious, but it was the only option and may buy them just enough time to think if they ran into trouble.

She was ready to apply the second fabric over Jake’s brand, still visible beneath his shorts when he firmly stated that he couldn’t leave Sid behind. Candice froze for a moment, eyes shifting towards the closed door of the bedroom. She had to address those concerns before she could get Jake out of the door. It didn’t matter the danger he was in, he was still resisting.

“Please, Jake, trust me.” She took the time to tie the fabric around Jake’s brand as she spoke. “Omega won’t harm Sid. If.. If we’re gone, Sid can easily explain that you were never here, or.. or perhaps that he caught you trying to escape but you ran away. He’ll know what to do. He’ll.. He’ll be in more danger if he comes with us.”

Everything Candice was saying was a lie, but she had to keep Jake calm and compliant. Once the fabric was tied around Jake’s thigh, Candice gripped Jake by the wrist to pull him insistently through the front door.

“Now please, come on, Jake..”

Once the two were outside, she slowly pushed the front door closed, keeping the handle turned so as not to risk the sound of the latch clicking shut giving them away. She quickly scanned the alcove for any signs of movement before leading Jake to the passenger door of Sid’s truck.

“After we get far enough away from this area, I’ll explain--!!”

As Candice opened the passenger side door, her assurances gave way to a short scream as the cab light came on to reveal that the truck was already occupied by a terrifyingly familiar figure in a business suit. Omega grinned at the expression of terror that greeted him.

“Where are you off to in such a hurry, little lady?”

---

Despite Candace’s rushed reassurances, Jake was still clearly conflicted about the whole thing. He watched worriedly as the skunk shredded the nearby curtain into strips to cover the brand on her naked thigh, and as she was working to do the same to his he listened uneasily to her crude attempts to persuade him into abandoning the one man who’d risked his life to rescue him. The poor buck didn’t know what to do. He trusted Candace, but he trusted Sid even more. Sid had saved him from a fate worse than death. There was no better way to secure Jake’s faith than such a selfless act as that.

However, the skunk’s obvious desperation and panic was beginning to get to him. She was genuinely terrified and determined to get Jake away from this place as quickly as possible. And though the rabbit cub was more than happy to be on his way to the surface to be reunited with his family, the lingering guilt of leaving Sid behind was too much. Even after Candace had tightened the fabric around his thigh and began tugging him towards the truck, Jake was still resisting. He was clinging to his sense of morality and it just didn’t feel right to leave the opossum behind.

Why the girl was so eager to leave him behind didn’t make sense either. They were supposed to be married, and although the age disparity of that union still made Jake deeply uncomfortable, she was his wife and must’ve loved him. So why was she so eager to escape without him?

“C-Candace… wait!” he whined, tugging on his arm as he was dragged towards the passenger-side of the truck.

The older skunk was again promising to explain once they’d gotten far enough away from this place, but her words suddenly caught in her throat as she opened the truck door. The cab light came on and Jake’s gaze rose to the interior where a living nightmare casually sat. Omega in all his horrifying glory was here. Right here. Sitting in Sid’s truck.

Jake’s eyes widened in abject terror and all at once his higher functions gave way to an instinctual, crippling fear. A sharp scream tore up the buck’s throat as he lurched backwards and yanked his wrist free from Candace’s grip. All at once the boy was one-hundred percent certain that this was no dream. The reason being that Omega was always depicted as a looming, shadowy figure in his nightmares, but here and now, the wolf’s features were crystal clear.

The rabbit’s thumping heart leapt into his throat to choke off his shriek as he stumbled backwards and fell to the pavement. He couldn’t believe his eyes. There he was, the object of his deepest fears. Just like Candace had been trying to say, he knew. Perhaps he’d always known. Known that Jake had escaped, that Sid was hiding him here. It was too horrifying to imagine. He’d never really been free or safe.

Taking deep, open-mouthed breaths, Jake’s panic escalated as he scrambled backwards across the ground, trying to distance himself from the terrifying sight before him. Every part of his body was screaming with the urge to run but he couldn’t bring himself to scramble to his feet. Mindless terror gripped him and he kept shaking his head side to side in disbelief.

“N… n… no, no…” he whimpered pitifully. “Y-y-you’re not real… This is just… just a… a bad dream! I--I wanna wake up, I wanna wake up!”

---

Omega was immensely pleased at the sight of two terrified slaves, their expressions reflecting in the dim light inside the cab. As Jake tore his wrist free of Candice’s fearfully tightened grip, Omega grinned widely. He was going to run. The wolf turned and gripped the door and frame of the truck, ready to throw himself from the cab to run after his fleeing prey, but before the chase began, Candice threw herself in front of the wolf.

“Wait!! Don’t hurt him!”

Candice’s posture shrunk as she suddenly realized her error in putting herself between Omega and his fleeing prey, but to her great relief, her efforts only warranted a scowl. She looked back to Jake, who, luckily for her, had not yet started to run. He was instead trying to will himself to wake from what he had hoped was just another nightmare about the evil wolf. It took her a moment to regain her composure.

“Please just.. Just take me back to the hotel and let Jake go! I’ll go back with you! I’ll.. I’ll stay there and keep doing the films and..”

“That wasn’t part of our deal, Candice.”

Candice’s posture shrunk again. This was a crucial piece of the puzzle she didn’t want to give Jake until it was safe to do so. Her worried eyes shifted back to the young buck, knowing undoubtedly that Omega may very well have shattered his trust in her with that statement, the weight of what she had done crashing onto her shoulders as she looked into those terrified, cute, blue eyes.

“Move.”

As Omega exited the truck, Candice snapped around, placing her paws against Omega’s abdomen, more as a pleading gesture than physical resistance. She couldn’t hope to physically stop the wolf from getting to his prey.

“Please, no! I’ll do anything, just don’t--!”

Her pleas fell on deaf ears, and the back of Omega’s paw fell upon Candice’s muzzle, sending her stumbling out of his path. She wasn’t who the wolf wanted. He wanted his treasured prey back. He approached Jake slowly, giving him time to choose whether or not he would run from the large lupine.

---

Still struggling to distance himself from the massive wolf seated in Sid’s truck, Jake watched, wide-eyed with his mouth open and jaw trembling as Candace attempted to come to his aid. At that moment his terror was diverted towards the skunk as he feared for her life. The vivid memories of what happened to the last person who tried to defend him surfaced and caused tears to well up in his eyes. He expected Omega to kill her on the spot, like he had with the guard who dared intercept him during one of his attempted escapes.

Instead though, the wolf scowled and remained motionless while the skunk desperately tried to bargain her freedom for his. The gesture was admirable, but Omega’s statement that followed suddenly sprouted a very large seed of doubt in Jake’s mind. Halting his slow retreat he stared in confusion and terror at the girl, looking like he’d just been slapped.

“W…. what deal?” he squeaked, already beginning to realize that something was deeply wrong with this whole situation. “C-Candace, what--what’s he talking about!?”

Before the girl could even think to respond, Omega began to move, ordering the skunk to get out of the way. Instead however, she pressed against his massive frame pleading, begging for him to take her in Jake’s place. Her efforts were rewarded with a back-handed slap that sent her stumbling away and made the terrified cub jump in fright. Immediately after the wolf proceeded to move towards the buck, each step, each click of those shiny dress shoes against the concrete, raising Jake’s terror exponentially.

Omega wanted him to run, and he knew that. He knew he shouldn’t give him the satisfaction let alone give in to his own screaming instincts, but Jake was weak. His trust in Candace had just been shaken, and he was beginning to wonder about Sid as well. With his freedom on the line and a horrific life of imprisonment and rape to look forward to if he didn’t try to run, there was little choice in his mind. If he stayed, he was assured an agonizing future, but if he bolted like his entire body was demanding him to, there was a chance, albeit a slim one, that he might escape.

These tunnels were dark and though Jake’s night-vision was poor compared to a predator like Omega, he still had to try. Another click echoed through the empty, cavernous underground as the wolf drew nearer and with an abrupt start, the buck yelped fearfully and twisted onto his side to scramble to his feet.

The second they were under him, the boy bolted. His old aches and pains were so forgotten that he didn’t even think to limp on his wounded foot. Jake took off with such feral speed that after the first several gaping strides, the cuts on his foot reopened and blood quickly began to soak the bandaging Candace had applied the day before. He hardly noticed the pain in his foot over the burning of his lungs and the staggering, barely visible tunnel beyond. Jake was running on pure adrenaline at this point and he’d already gotten a decent sized lead on the wolf before the sounds of pursuit reached his ears.

Succumbing to blind panic, Jake tore down the tunnel that lead to the main drag. He was so focused on fleeing that he almost didn’t see the vehicle about to cross his path until the headlights blinded him. A sharp squeal escaped the buck as he forced himself to stop just shy of being struck by the vehicle that raced by. His legs were already feeling weak and rubbery, and after his near collision he was beginning to feel nauseous as well. Neither one stopped him from continuing to run though.

Instinctively, Jake turned left, and ran in the opposite direction the car had been heading. There was the possibility that it had been coming in from outside, but it was really just the frantic, terrified rabbit rationalizing his random decision. All he knew was that he had to keep moving.

---

Candice’s paws clasped over her lightly bloodied muzzle, she could only watch with dread as Omega purposefully delayed the re-capture of the young bunny. She knew what he wanted, and she began to sob the moment Jake moved to run, and those familiar, feral eyes of the wolf locked onto the quick movements of his prey.

Omega had some difficulty giving chase at first, until he rid himself of those cumbersome boots as Jake made it to the tunnel. A horrified squeal echoed through the tunnel as Candice nearly witnessed Jake’s sudden, violent demise from a vehicle speeding by, but there was little consolation as he and Omega then disappeared around the corner, the wolf slapping bare pads across the concrete as he sprinted after his little toy.

Jake had a good head start, but his short legs didn’t carry him fast enough to evade capture for as long as he would have preferred--forever. Eventually, those long strides carried Omega close enough. Although mostly giving into those predatory instincts, the wolf still remembered what happened during their first chase, and so to prevent re-breaking the bunny’s snout, as he struck the knee of his target, a paw tightly gripped the long ears of the cub to prevent his face from being planted into the concrete a second time.

After Jake slid along his knees, tearing the fabric of his shorts as he slid to a stop, Omega quickly halted his own momentum, and gripping under Jake’s arms, dragged his thrashing captive to the side of the tunnel so as not to be struck by passing traffic. He then took those arms behind Jake’s back, pressing him against the cold wall of the tunnel, pulling Jake’s new shirt over his head and wrapping it around his forearms as they were still in the sleeves, tying the boy’s arms quickly behind his back.

Once Jake’s arms were secure, the wolf removed his tie, and to prevent biting, wrapped the strap of cloth around Jake’s head, forcing it between his jaws and tieing it tightly enough to keep the boy’s jaws parted. The wolf had been waiting long enough to have Jake back in his grasp, so he wasted little time in securing him enough to hoist over his shoulder and carry him down the tunnel as he caught his breath.

“We have quite a bit of catching up to do, don’t we, Jake?”

---

Despite having gotten farther than his previous escape attempts, Jake’s recent injuries had begun to flare up and interfere with his terrified pace. First his foot started burning, causing his noticeable limp to return, and from there his insides began aching and throbbing so badly that he was nearly doubling over with breathless exhaustion by the time Omega caught up. Though he was still moving at a surprising clip in the face of his growing pain, he was no match for an adult predator who was fit and nearly twice his height.

The first sign that he’d lost the race for freedom came when Jake felt that spine-chilling breath on the back of his neck. Omega was within reach and before the terrified buck could even think to dodge or weave his way into traffic to prolong his escape, a foot kicked out his knee again, just like the first time he’d ran from the frightening wolf. A sharp yelp escaped Jake as he toppled, his rhythm broken. He expected to strike the ground hard like before, but instead a beefy paw scooped up both of his sailing ears and grasped them tightly, halting his forward momentum almost completely.

The strain on his sensitive appendages was so intense that Jake squealed loudly in pain, reaching for his aching ears even as he legs gave out beneath him and he came crashing down against the asphalt. He knees scraped against the rough surface, tearing flesh and fabric alike before he came to a stop and hung suspended by his ears.

Breathless and disoriented, Jake struggled blindly against the paws that manhandled him to his feet following his capture and threw him against the tunnel wall. His efforts were futile however, as the lengthy sprint had left the buck exhausted and weak. All he could muster in his defense were terrified squeals as his shirt was yanked over his head and used to unceremoniously bind both his arms behind his back. Already Jake was hysterically pleading for mercy.

“Nah… no! Please! Please, no! Not again, nah-hah-oh!” he cried loudly, tears streaming down his cheeks as he thrashed against his assailant.

Once his arms were bound, Omega held Jake against the wall while he loosened his tie to use as a makeshift gag for the begging cub. The rabbit continued his hopeless, blubbering pleas right up until the noose-like length of fabric had been positioned around his head.

“Let me go, please!! I don't--I don't wanna go back! Please!! O-Omega, I--” The knot of the tie was suddenly wedged between his jaws and the entire apparatus tightened to choke off any further complaints.

Following his creative application of bondage, Omega scooped Jake up and threw him over his shoulder with a shrill squeal. Then the wolf began the long trek back, promising to ‘catch up’ while his victim cried and shrieked into his gag. With his legs the only free limbs left, Jake kicked wildly and struggled on his tormentor's shoulder, expressing every ounce of his grief and horror as he was taken back to his doom by the last creature he'd ever wanted to see again.

---

The long sprint had the wolf nearly out of breath. It was exhilarating to be able to chase down his prey once again, further establishing the twisted bond he had developed with the cub. Jake was his special prize, and the wolf was happy to finally have the boy back in his grasp. He didn’t say a word, choosing instead to listen with satisfaction to Jake’s terrified pleas and squeals into the cloth gag as they made the long, slow walk through the tunnel, letting the tops of Jake’s feet thump harmlessly against his chest as the rabbit squirmed and kicked.

Candice had been waiting, naked and crushed with guilt. Her heart sank further as she saw Omega carry the bound rabbit into view. The wolf’s breathing had grown quieter and more calm by the time he reached the point where the chase began, leaving a deafening silence aside from Jake’s muffled pleas. Candice’s cheeks were soaked with tears as she slowly followed behind where Jake could see her, whispering as she delayed the next round of pitiful cries.

“I’m so sorry, Jake..”

As the trio entered the apartment, Candice squealed lightly as Omega gripped the back of her neck and gave her a shove in the direction of the bedroom.

“Wake up Sid and get him in here.”

After stumbling forward, Candice looked back at Omega with dread as he sat on the couch, then proceeded into the bedroom. Omega maneuvered Jake around so that he was facing out as he was lowered into the wolf’s lap, an arm wrapped around to contain his struggles, giving Jake a mock-compassionate kiss on his cheek before gripping the knot in his tie behind Jake’s head.

“I missed you so much, Jake. Now I’m going to take this tie off. I hope you’ve learned your lesson about biting people by now.”

Omega tugged at the tie until the knot came loose, and released Jake’s muzzle from the cloth gag, setting it aside as he continued to kiss at Jake’s neck and cheek. Meanwhile, Sid, who hadn’t been told why he needed to get to the living room yet, appeared, shirtless, but buckling a belt over his pants as he emerged.

“Omega? I.. wasn’t expecting you to come so early.”

“Well after our last conversation, I got the feeling Candice was going to crack and try to smuggle the boy away.”

---

For the majority of the long walk back, Jake had continued to struggle ineffectually despite his aches and pains. Though his attempts to writhe free of his bondage had lessened by the time they arrived, the buck was no less terrified and desperate to escape. With Omega, there was no telling what cruel fate lay before him and he didn’t want to find out. Worse still, by now the wolf’s predatory scent had fully permeated his senses, such that his instinctual response to being in the clutches of the large lupine tormented him without end.

Almost completely shirtless thanks to Omega’s use of his top to bind his arms, Jake’s naked chest rubbed uncomfortably against his captor’s shoulder, especially whenever he squirmed and whimpered. He’d mostly given in to defeat, but only as a result of the hopelessness of his situation. With arms bound and body aching, even if he managed to get loose again, he wouldn’t be able to run even half as far as he’d managed earlier.

Essentially, Jake was helpless. Helpless and in the arms of his brutal rapist. His fuzzy face was a mess of wet fur from his endless tears, and when Candace came around to follow the hulking wolf into the apartment, the grief-stricken cub couldn’t even bring himself to lift his gaze to meet hers. Had he seen her tears, he might still not have been convinced of the sincerity of her apology. As far as he knew at this point, he’d been deceived, whether by both Sid and Candace or just her he didn’t know. He still clung to the meager hope that the opossum would try to save him.

After they entered Sid’s home, Candace was forcibly thrust toward the bedroom with instructions to wake the man of the house, something which worried Jake greatly. He fully expected Omega to just kill him on the spot and force Jake watch. He didn’t want to imagine what the wolf would then have planned for Candace and himself. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately, he had something to take his mind off those future concerns when Omega sat down on the couch and man-handled the little cub into sitting on his lap.

Jake trembled on the spot, whimpering softly as he breathed shakily. He tried to work at the uncomfortably tight fabric in his mouth, pushing on it with his tongue when Omega suddenly planted a kiss on his cheek. Squealing in disgust, the buck writhed on the wolf’s lap, breaking down into whimpering cries as he realized the futility of his actions. Severely handicapped, there was little Jake could do but sit there as Omega offered to remove the gag.

The boy didn’t make a sound in response beyond several quick, heavy breathes that showed his intense panic, barely contained. As promised the tie came loose and was swiftly removed, allowing Jake to smack his lips repeatedly with discomfort. The fabric had tasted foul, and now that he was free of it, Omega helped himself to molesting his neck and cheek. Jake complained loudly with whimpering cries as he struggled to distance himself from that hot, slimy tongue.

“S-stop it… please… let me go,” he whined, turning his head as far to one side as he could. “Just… let me go, please…”

He didn’t know what else to say at this point, as Omega ignored whatever he said anyway. Even now that perverted tongue helped itself to his body without once pausing to consider his pleas. The torment continued for only a few moments before Sid emerged from the bedroom, half-naked and buckling up a belt. Jake turned to stare pitifully at the opossum as he approached, hoping for some sort of reprieve or rescue. What came out of the man’s mouth however was so heart-breaking that the cub was visibly stunned.

He… He had been expecting him…

“S… Sid?” Jake squeaked, on the verge of fresh tears. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Not only did he indirectly confirm that he’d been working for Omega all along, but the wolf himself further proved it to be true as he explained quite simply that Candace was in on it too and had suffered a crisis of conscience. Completely overwhelmed with horror, Jake stared straight ahead at the entertainment system opposite the couch, eyes wide and tears flowing as he shuddered with disbelief.

---

As Jake voiced his grief and disbelief to Sid, the opossum shrugged his shoulders as his paws left his belt buckle, his tummy hanging ever so slightly over the top.

“I meant it when I said you’re a good kid, Jake, but we made a deal with Omega, and we’re sticking to it.”

Candice stood off to the side, never raising her gaze from the floor. Omega scritched lightly under Jake’s chin as he began to fill in the blanks.

“I never wanted to throw you away, Jake. I wanted only to teach you a few valuable lessons, about biting, about trusting anyone to free you, and..” Omega turned to Candice with a grin, watching her posture sink further with his next words. “..and about breeding.”

Omega couldn’t resist running his paw up and down Jake’s soft chest as he hugged the boy’s waist against his body with the other arm, growling softly, just to milk more of the boy’s discomfort with his current situation. However, he stopped after a moment so that Jake could re-focus on what he had been put through in the past couple of days.

“Sid isn’t actually one of my guards. He’s really an actor for the same porn studio I rented Candice to a long time ago. He liked her so much, he wanted to buy her from me. At the time, I refused. I don’t typically sell slaves who bear my brand. The two of them started to work together more and more, and they grew fond of one another. Sid was quite persistent, and i was running out of uses for the girl, so I eventually allowed her to go and live with Sid.

“She still technically belongs to me, so when you came along, I decided to strike up another bargain with Sid. They put on a little show for you, let you think you’re safe, and teach you how to breed with a female. In exchange, I would give them both what they wanted, and sell Candice to Sid, effectively freeing her. She could then quit her work at the porn studio and live happily here.”

Omega resumed stroking Jake’s chest, pulling him so that his currently clothed rump was resting against the knot pressed against the wolf’s pants while he allowed his explanation to sink in.

“You ready to finish up the lesson, Sid?”

“Well.. It doesn’t really seem necessary..”

“You did say you wanted a turn with him, and this WAS a rather important part of the deal.”

“Well.. Sorry, kid. I can’t break the deal now.”

Omega grinned as Sid began to round the couch, starting to unfasten his belt buckle while the wolf forced Jake down against the arm of the couch, and tugged Jake’s shorts down to reveal what Sid had secretly wanted from the beginning, and although he didn’t really have much of a choice but to go through with it, a part of him was still longing to feel that young sphincter squeezed around his length.

Sid had just rounded the couch, his dual-peen slipping free of his pants, his sheath bulging to a width much larger than the average size of a normal opossum, with two tips emerging from the opening, when Candice ran around him, putting herself between Sid and Jake.

“Sid, please! It’s not worth it! Don’t hurt him! Please don’t!”

Omega quickly pressed a knee down against Jake’s back to keep him firmly pinned against the arm of the couch as he gripped the fur on the back of Candace’s head and pulled her out of the way with a gasp. Sid gave another barely apologetic shrug.

“Sorry, babe.”

Sid then took over, restraining Jake against the arm of the couch as Omega removed his knee. She tried once again to reach out for Jake, but the wolf dragged her farther away, starting to move towards the bedroom.

“What’s the matter, Candice? Feeling left out? You’re still mine for a few more hours. I think I’ll fuck you one more time before I let you go.”

“Wh.. What?!”

As Omega started to drag the struggling skunk towards the bedroom, Sid paused, momentarily conflicted. However, in the end, he didn’t move away from Jake, allowing Candice to be taken away, even as she started calling to him for help. As the door was closed on the frantic protests of the young teen, Sid took a deep breath, and turned his attention back to Jake, kneeling over the boy’s legs as he began working himself to full arousal by rubbing himself against the soft fur of Jake’s rump.

---

The response Jake got from the opossum was the last thing he'd expected to hear. According to him, Sid and Candace had both made a deal with Omega and they weren't going to deviate. The little rabbit's eyes were as wide as possible and filling with fresh tears as he shuddered in the wolf's lap. It was all a lie, every bit of it. He couldn't believe it, and his mortified gaze as it fell upon Sid and his wife again, showed the pain of betrayal plain as day on his face. He couldn't even bring himself to look either creature in the eye, but he didn't need to to see how little the opossum was affected by these events. The skunk though...

Candace looked so ashamed of herself that she could only stare at the floor. It broke his heart to see her so defeated, but at the same time, he was furious with her. He wanted to scream out loud that he hated the girl for tricking him, but even if he'd had the courage to do so, Omega's paw suddenly but gently tickling the hairs of his chin sent chills up his spine sufficient to put out the flames. Jake jerked his head away from the offending fingers sharply and cried out loudly for just a second before he could regain composure.

Without missing a beat, Omega began to explain the whole situation for everyone to hear, much to Jake's utter dismay. His ears twitched constantly in response to the offensive sound of the wolf's voice as he casually told the poor buck exactly what this had all been for. And he was crushed. So crushed that he slumped forward in his captor's arms, open-mouthed and whimpering in-between soft sobs that choked him up. It had all been a game. Another one of Omega's twisted efforts to destroy Jake's faith in everyone around him, and he may very well have succeeded.

Jaw trembling and tears falling steadily from his irritated eyes, the cub writhed uncomfortably as the wolf decided suddenly to drag his paw through his chest fur. The feeling of that beefy appendage molesting his half-naked body made his skin crawl, but Jake was resigned to staring at the floor and listening despite the unnerving sound of Omega's deep, growling tone as he relayed the story of Candace and Sid. The opossum wasn't a guard, but an actor. He and the skunk together. They'd just been pretending to care for him, feigning compassion and understanding. And for what...? To be taught a lesson? Though Omega brought up his tendency to bite and his intent to make Jake distrustful of others, he seemed to be most interested in having him taught to breed. But after what transpired in the bedroom with Candace...

Jake shuddered in disgust, his ears burning hot with humiliation. He couldn't believe he'd let Candace talk him into mating with her. Just thinking about it made him sick with revulsion. After everything he'd been through and everything he'd thought they'd done to help him and make him feel better... To find out it was all fake; just an act... The buck was devastated so deeply that he turned his gaze onto Sid and Candace one more time, the full depth of his despair shining on them. Omega had finished speaking, leaving Jake to absorb the horrifying revelations, but he only had one thing on his mind at the moment.

“I... I trusted you...” he whimpered, trying to look both of them in the eyes but neither one met his gaze. At that moment his composure cracked and the rabbit slumped forward again, sobbing miserably as Omega continued to molest his exposed chest and intentionally position him so that a familiar and frightening lump was pressing against the backside of his shorts.

Whining softly as he half-heartedly tried to resist the wolf’s effort to run his fingers through his fur, Jake ears perked up worriedly when Omega spoke again. Suddenly he was addressing Sid, asking him if he was ready to ‘finish up the lesson’. Though Jake didn’t understand what he meant, even after Sid’s awkward reply, the cub was already expecting the worst. What Omega said next only confirmed his fears. The opossum, the man who’d supposedly saved him from a life of cruelty and imprisonment, had secretly harbored a desire to harm him too.

Omega was insistent, and Sid, well… he hardly put up a fuss at all. He said he couldn’t break the agreement now, but when the buck cast a worried glance in his direction, there was barely a hint of regret. Sid wanted to rape him. He was already rounding the couch, fussing with his belt buckle, and seeing the man’s compliance, Omega suddenly manhandled Jake into a terrifying position where his legs dangled from the arm of the couch and his face was practically pressed against the wolf’s crotch.

Gagging on the thick odorous musk at first, it quickly gave way to a startled squeal as his shorts were unbuttoned from his tail and pulled down to expose his recently abused anus. The fact that his fears were correct only fueled Jake’s panic as he whimpered loudly and kicked his legs blindly. Sid was going to rape him. Just like Omega had twice now and just like that perverted otter had the day before. The rabbit was sobbing louder now, pleading for someone, anyone to reconsider.

Only one person seemed to be listening, as Candace intercepted her husband and begged him not to go through with it. Jake was still panicking and he squirmed on the spot, raising and tilting his head just enough that he could barely see behind him. What he saw was Candace’s naked backside and to one side, a horrifying appendage protruding from Sid’s exposed sheath. The sight alone made the cub whimper loudly in fear.

Unfortunately for Jake and Candace, Omega’s retribution for her interference was swift and unkind. A painful knee to the buck’s back forced the air from his lungs with a pained grunt and the skunk was yanked aside roughly. Sid apologized again, but it sounded hollow. He autonomously took over the task of holding Jake down while the wolf stood and pulled away the young teen, who still struggled to defend the bound cub.

With his face pressed against the cushions of the couch, Jake couldn’t see what was happening. He could only hear the sound of Omega’s voice as he suggested that Candace was feeling left out. The wolf then immediately offered to rape her one more time and dragged the skunk off to the bedroom, their departure announced by the slamming of the door.

By now Jake was wide-eyed and trembling so violently that he could barely keep his legs together. He could still sense Sid behind him, standing their longingly as the skunk, pleading to her husband, was taken away. A short while after the door had closed, the buck yelped loudly as two hot paws lightly grasped his exposed backside. His panic returned in full force and sailed to the limits when he felt something warm and slimy rubbing against his tender rump. He was really going to do it. Sid was going to rape him. After everything he’d done.

“Please, Sid… don’t… don’t do it, please!” he cried, mashing his tear-stained face against the couch cushion. “Y-y-y-you don’t have to, please. I-I-I--I can pretend! He-he won’t know. Please, don’t hurt me… Y-you don’t want t-to hurt me, do you? Sid? Please!”

---

Jake’s pleas did little to deter Sid. It was true that he was hesitant to rape the kid, especially after seeing the boy so happy with some of the things he had done for him. Still, he worked in a place where cubs were routinely raped on camera, and he had even raped a few himself for a bit of extra cash. When it came to a choice between giving Jake a brief moment of comfort before he would return to the hotel, and freeing Candice, there wasn’t much deliberation needed.

“Gotta be real, Jake. You’re no actor.”

With that, the dual tips pressed firmly against their target, slick with pre from his constant grinding. The slimy appendages snaked their way into Jake’s tight passage before the thickest section pressed against the tight resistance. Sid could only ignore Jake’s pleas as he continued. Unlike Jake’s previous attackers, he paused as he hilted inside, giving Jake a moment to adjust to his thickness. He even tried to tell Jake to relax, but if his actions weren’t triggering terror from, among other things, nothing but bad experiences with having a male’s genitalia inside him, relaxing while in such pain was easier said than done.

Sid began rocking his hips back and forth slowly, trying to stretch the boy out a little more gently. Meanwhile, the screams behind the closed door intensified, along with the sound of the bed creaking under the weight of what was happening inside. Once Sid heard this, his gentleness began to disappear, and he started raping Jake with increasingly harsh thrusts. Whether he was angry with Omega, or blamed Jake for what was happening to Candace was difficult to tell, but he seemed not to care anymore than he was hurting the cub who not long ago gave him his complete trust.

The opossum’s hips continued to slap Jake against the side of the couch as he did what he had been wanting to do ever since he was pretending to guard the room where Jake was later raped for the first time, and although his opinion on Jake had changed over the next few days, that desire was now driving his actions as he drove his shafts into the helpless cub bent over his couch.

---

The poor cub was already tensing against the intrusive grinding of Sid’s scary-looking organ between his fuzzy little cheeks when the man offered his unfortunate reply. Jake had been putting all of his hope into convincing the opossum not to rape him, so his simple statement that the buck was no actor took him by complete surprise. His eyes widened in terror as, following those few words, the eight-year-old cub suddenly felt pressure against his previously abused anus.

“N--nngh! Hah! No! No, please!” he squeaked, grunting in growing discomfort as Sid slowly began to push his erection past that newly aching ring of muscles. “Sid, please! Sid, no, no no no n--AH!”

Despite the man’s far more gentle nature of penetrating his backside, the sudden pop as Sid hilted inside his bruised rectum made Jake’s entire body jump and stiffen in hopeless protest of the invasion. All at once he found himself full again, sphincter stretched beyond its natural limits until it throbbed and burned angrily while his insides clamped down against the girth and revolting sensation of that bifurcated penis’ dual heads writhing like a pair of worms inside him.

Chills raced up and down Jake’s spine as he sobbed pitifully. His legs had been struggling ineffectively to push Sid away from his exposed backside, but when he finally made entry, both had kicked out straight and remained there, twitching and trembling to either side of the opossum that stood between them. The only relief after being forcibly sodomized for the fourth time now, was that Sid had some modicum of generosity to remain motionless while attempting to offer Jake some advice.

The very idea of relaxing while he was being raped was insane to the buck, though. Sid, the man who’d from his perspective risked his life to sneak Jake from the hotel with the promise of returning him to the surface and his family as soon as possible, the man he’d seen as a hero and perhaps even a father figure, the man he’d trusted so completely that he hadn’t once suspected him of anything nefarious, now stood here with his grotesque-looking penis buried to the hilt in his aching backside. And he had the nerve to tell the boy to ‘relax’.

At first all Jake could offer in response were tears and misery, but when he felt Sid beginning to pull out with the intent to thrust forward again, a shrill squeal escaped him as he squirmed against the couch’s arm.

“No, no no no, please, don’t move it, don’--ow! Hah… Nnngah!” Jake groaned loudly in pain and humiliation, mashing his wet face against the cushion beneath him as that slimy organ pulled back to just before the base of its twin heads and pushed forward again.

Another strained squeak signaled a second successful penetration to the hilt, and already the cub was giving in to the agony and grief. His struggling renewed as thrust after thrust followed, pushing that beefy shaft back and forth past his straining sphincter. Without lubrication of any sort and thanks to his own resistant efforts, it burned immensely and gave Jake more than enough reason to sob loudly as he kept incoherently begging the man to stop.

His own cries of anguish were halted for a moment, however, when Candace in the next room over screamed loud enough to hear. Jake’s ears perked up and his eyes widened in horror. Omega was in fact raping her again, and from the sound of her pained cries and the thumping and creaking of Sid’s bed, he wasn’t being gentle in the least. Fresh tears welled up in his eyes immediately as he realized just how terrible things had become in so little time.

One moment he was sleeping on this very couch, where his greatest concern aside from finding a way to the surface, was the surprise coming the following day, and the next Omega had appeared, like a demonic phantom, snatching away his hope and causing pain and misery wherever he went. He’d infected Sid, whom until now Jake saw as a benefactor, but was now his latest rapist, and to make the whole horrifying experience worse, the one person who’d attempted in the last few moments to spare him from this fate, was being brutally assaulted nearby.

As if to drive the message home that there was no hope, that everyone he met couldn’t be trusted and there was no escape from this underground Hell, Sid, upon hearing the agonized cries of his own wife, began to give in to his own angry lust. Every moment that followed those first screams became increasingly more uncomfortable. The opossum’s thrusts grew violent, picking up speed and force despite Jake’s grunts and whimpering cries evolving into loud sobbing screams as his stretched anus began to tear under the assault.

“St-st-stop!” he shrieked in agony, “It h--hurts! It hurts! Stop, please! I ca--AH! Haahahah--Nngh! P-pull it out, please! I can’t--I can’t stand it!”

If his stammering, pain-filled words weren’t enough proof of the damage being done, Jake’s entire body was convulsing from the savage, sexual abuse. With every smack of those inverted, marsupial testicals again his fluffy tail, the buck’s legs kicked out and trembled wildly. Fresh blood had already begun to coat Sid’s shaft as he plunged it inside the cub again and again with increasing ferocity.

At some point Jake lost his sense of time. Wave after wave of pain racked his little body and with his pleas falling on deaf ears he eventually stopped bothering altogether. For a time his existence consisted of being pummeled from the inside out, jerking forward and rocking back as he stared blankly at the entertainment system he’d once enjoyed watching films on. Now it was a black screen and for all intents a portal into the worst Hell imaginable.

Some fifteen minutes passed before the violent thrusts began to slow, and by then blood had mottled the fur of Sid’s testicles and Jake’s tail, his own tight, little sack stained with the lion’s share of it. The poor buck had resorted to taking in air with sharp, pained gasps, his whole body limp and aching from the strain of the abuse. Surprisingly it paled in comparison to his first experience with Omega, but what made it so much worse in his mind was the fact that Sid, his supposed savior, was the one responsible for all this pain.

---

It was as if Sid was no longer even hearing Jake’s pleas anymore, or feeling the blood starting to drip down his fur as he continued to betray the young cub as he had intended to do from the start. Although he found the buck’s tightness pleasant, and although he still wanted the boy’s body, for the most part this was merely a job to get done, as it would be if Jake were in the porn studio to be raped on camera.

Without another word, he spent the next fifteen minutes abusing Jake’s torn anus with purposeful thrusts. Once Candice’s screaming on the other side of the door had subsided, the opossum’s focus was entirely on the cute cub he was violating, which fueled his pleasure as he slowed his thrusts. With his orgasm approaching, Sid slowed his thrusts and eased himself into his climax, bit by bit, until his pleasure peaked, and his shafts throbbed with seed to deposit into his young guest.

Leaning over the sobbing bunny, Sid let out heavy breaths as the boy’s squirming and tight confines milked every last bit of seed lingering in the opossum’s dual-shafts. As he began sliding himself out of the ravaged cub, the door to the bedroom opened. Omega emerged, naked, his cock slowly receding into his sheath. Behind the open door, Candice was sitting on the bed with her knees pulled against her chest, staring at the wall. She was hugging her large tail against her front from between her legs. For the first time since Jake arrived, she was trying to hide her naked body from everyone.

Omega rounded the couch, grinning as he saw and smelled the blood staining Jake’s butt and privates.

“Looks like we’re breaking him in quite nicely. He’ll be ready for clients in no time.”

As Sid continued to hold Jake in place, Omega began to re-attire himself, his alien-like member slowly retracting as a few droplets of blood fell from the tips. As Omega adjusted his tie with one paw, he took Jake’s arm with the other, still bound in the shirt he had only worn for one night. Stepping on Jake’s shorts, Omega forced the boy to step out of them, leaving his lower half completely exposed once again.

“Let’s go home, Jake. Candice, you’re coming too.”

This drew both Candice and Sid’s attention as Sid spoke up.

“Wait a minute, why is Candice going back to the hotel?”

“She tried to run away with Jake. She should be punished for this.”

“I see.”

“After that, she’s all yours.”

“Alright.”

With that, Candice landed on the floor with a thump, and quickly made her way into the living room, tail still hugged against her chest.

“S.. Sid?! Y-You’re just going to let him?! You’re not going to..?! Do you even…!?”

“What else do you expect me to do, Candice? You fucked up, and until the deal is finalized, you still belong to him.”

Candice was frozen in place, mortified by Sid’s words. In an instant, her world was turned upside down almost as much as Jake’s.

“Hey, hey, hey..” Sid moved over to the skunk, who started to recoil as he approached, but remained still as Sid wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her on top of the head. “I know it’s going to be rough for you, but after that, you’ll be free. Just a little more pain, and it’ll all be over. You can handle it, babe.”

Still hugging her tail, Candice’s eyes strained to look down behind her as she tried to ever so slightly move her back away from Sid’s blood-soaked crotch.

---

By the time Sid had aroused himself enough to climax, Jake's whines and pained groans followed every other thrust. His struggling and writhing had mostly stopped now, both legs hanging limp from the couch arm and only twitching in response to the awful sensation of hot semen filling his bruised innards. The poor buck was in a temporary state of shock, unable to move beyond the shuddering of his chest as he sobbed. Having his former hero rape him with barely even a second thought had shattered a significant part of his fragile psyche, ensuring that Omega would ultimately get what he wanted; a slave too afraid to trust another living creature.

When the opossum finally pulled his organ free of Jake's still clenching sphincter, a small pitiful whine was all the buck could muster. His face was drenched with tears, as was the cushion beneath him. His naked backside was a mess of blood and whatever semen managed to ooze from his violated anus. He couldn't will himself to move even when Omega re-emerged, naked and satisfied with his time with Candace. All Jake could see was the black screen of the television across from him, but his trembling ears rotated automatically to listen intently as the wolf approached and complimented Sid on his vile deed.

The mention of future clients made Jake whine softly and both struggle and fail to raise his legs against his exposed rump. The very idea of going through this awful experience with other males again and again was mortifying. Jake wasn't sure his heart could take it. He'd already been raped twice by the scariest, most evil creature he'd ever encountered, and now the man he once thought his savior, had just finished filling his little body with his seed. At the very instruction of that monster Omega, no less.

Jake could still feel Sid’s paws on his hind-quarters, having never left, but soon after the opossum had finished and Omega returned, a fresh paw suddenly gripped one of his bound arms and hoisted him off the couch. A shrill, terrified and pained cry accompanied his return to his feet where he wobbled unsteady on weak legs while the wolf stepped on his shorts and forced the rabbit to stumble free of them. As soon as he was relieved of his newly acquired clothing, Jake slumped miserably, staring at the floor emptily. He hardly cared about being naked with Omega, Sid and Candace free to peep at his body now. In fact, almost hanging from Omega's grip on his arm, all he could think about what the tickling sensation of the blood and semen dribbling down the backs of his thighs. His tail hung low over his abused rear, trembling as he sobbed quietly under his breath.

Unable to even acknowledge Omega’s comment about ‘going home’, the traumatized buck instead half-listened to the conversation that followed. The wolf was taking Candace too, which didn't surprise the cub who thought breaking an agreement wasn't any sort of a leap for the vile lupine. Sid and his wife on the other hand were both startled by the news. Though Sid questioned it at first, he accepted Omega’s answer without a second thought. Candace was horrified though. Jake couldn't see, but he heard the skunk leap to the floor and run into the room, confronting her supposed husband about his apathy.

No doubt like Candace did, Jake absently wondered if Sid even loved the girl. He tried to console her but the rabbit didn't even need to see the interaction to know the skunk wasn't really buying it. He wanted to sympathize with her, share in her grief and offer some mutual comfort as someone who knew what it was like to be ravaged by Omega, and betrayed by someone he trusted, but deep down he was still mad at her. Mad that she lied, furious that she went along with this insanity for so long, and upset that she didn't have a change of heart sooner. They might’ve stood a chance at escaping if she hadn't waited until the last moment.

He couldn't really blame her though, as much as he wanted to. She was a slave just like him. Her thigh was branded just like his.

Shivering visibly, Jake started to teeter to one side as his left leg twitched with the memory running. His instincts were still active, but exhaustion and utter disbelief had made him too weak and depressed to properly address them. Instead all he could manage was a half-hearted attempt to pull away from Omega’s grip. He listed to one side until his feet had no choice but to move, and then he grunted as his body met the resistance of that firm grasp holding him in place.

---

As Jake continued to slump weakly to the floor, Omega once again knelt in front of the defeated cub and hoisted him onto his shoulder. Candice flinched as Omega approached, hugging her tail even tighter before the wolf took her wrist. Sid immediately released his embrace to allow Omega to take her away. She whined as she stumbled forward, dragged out of the apartment still clutching her tail with her free arm.

Candice couldn’t bring herself to look into those betrayed blue eyes of the cub hanging from Omega’s shoulder, hunched over as she continued to stumble in the direction Omega was pulling her. Their destination was a modest vehicle a few spaces down from Sid’s truck. It wasn’t as luxurious as one with Omega’s means might be expected to drive. Perhaps he didn’t care for such things, or maybe he knew that if Candice were to try to escape with Jake, she might become suspicious if she spotted something flashy among the less impressive vehicles.

The wolf temporarily released Candice’s paw, instructing her to stay put. She considered running, for a moment, but she had tried that in the past with results similar to Jake’s experience. She stayed where she was, clutching her tail and fighting back tears. Even if she did try to run, and even if she escaped, where would she go? Back to Sid? He would give her right back to Omega.

The wolf fished a key from his pocket, and opened the trunk of the car, depositing Jake inside and shoving him inward. However, he didn’t intend on leaving Jake alone inside. To Candice’s surprise, Omega immediately grabbed her and shoved her forward, causing her to squeal as her squirming limbs were forced inside one after the other, and the trunk slammed shut, leaving her in darkness with the cub she had betrayed.

The silence that followed the footsteps away from the car was as awkward as they come. Omega had purposefully left the two of them alone after revealing the twisted plot that she had played a part in. Just what did he hope would happen between the two of them?

Was he hoping that Jake would punish her himself before Omega did, or did he just want to make them both as uncomfortable as possible?

The footsteps returned after awhile. Omega had gone back into the apartment, and whatever he was doing or discussing in there, now he was ready to bring them back to that awful place neither of them wanted to ever see again. The engine started up, and the vehicle began to move, two captives trapped in the dark trunk for a long, awkward ride, still silent until Candice finally worked up the courage to speak.

“I.. I never should have done that to you, Jake.. I’m so sorry!”

---

Dejected and hopeless, Jake offered up almost no resistance as he was scooped up in the arms of his tormentor and and thrown over his broad shoulder for the second time today. A soft, groaning whimper was the only sound he made as he was essentially being carried like a sack of potatoes. His gaze was focused primarily on the floor where fresh tear-drops were already soaking the carpet.

Not another word was spoken amongst the group as Omega moved forward to grab Candace by the wrist and practically drag her out of the apartment. As they walked Jake could see her naked form in his peripherals, but like her he couldn't bring himself to look in the eye. He still felt deeply betrayed. It was worse than that though. His faith in others had been completely shattered. There was little she could say in her defense as well, which didn't help. She'd played her part flawlessly as far as Jake was concerned; tricked him and took advantage of him.

Took advantage… The buck trembled lightly with recollection. Of everything she'd done, that was the most unforgivable. Under the guise of helping him be more comfortable with nudity, she'd coerced him into being molested and performing sex acts with her. That shame made him blush even as Omega approached his personal vehicle. Jake then heard the trunk unlatch and the next thing he knew he was being thrown in.

Despite himself the buck flailed and squealed as he was forced into the truck. He hit the rough fabric of the interior, squirming and panting frantically as he was pushed further in to make room for Candace. He had no idea of course that she'd be joining him at first, so when the sound of her being forced in behind him reached his ears, he writhed unhappily, struggling to roll over so he could have his back to her.

Jake shrank inwards on himself and whined as the frantic skunk was pushed in and the trunk lid slammed shut after her. She had more freedom of movement than he did, but he didn't want her anywhere near him so he pressed himself as deep into the trunk as he could.

Trapped in darkness with the object of his loathing and betrayal, Jake gritted his teeth and tensed against her presence as tears continued to wet his messy cheeks. The silence was deafening as the pair wait for Omega to return and Jake found himself growing oddly impatient. He wanted to get the trip over with so he never had to see Candace ever again. He could only hope the silence lasted for the whole ride.

Unfortunately, shortly after Omega came back and started the car to pull it into the main drag, the skunk’s voice reached his trembling ears over the rumble of the engine. As he'd already expected, the girl was trying to apologize now. Like mere words could make up for the depths of her betrayal. He'd trusted her so strongly that he had allowed himself to be at his most vulnerable with her. And she used it against him.

Jake couldn't bring himself to say anything in response at first, leading the girl to continue offering apologies and attempt to explain herself, but the longer he listened to her voice the more emotional and frustrated he grew. Eventually he couldn’t take it anymore and cut her off sharply despite barely raising his voice above a whisper.

“Leave me alone… D-Don't talk to me…” he whimpered, hiding a face twisted by grief and anger.

---

Candice continued as Jake didn’t respond to her apology at first.

“You have every right to be upset with me. I manipulated you, got you to put your trust in me.. and even when I started to like you.. still, I… Please don’t hate me, Jake. I was only going along with this because--”

Her words caught in her throat the moment Jake spoke. He wasn’t having any of it. After demanding that Candice stop talking to him, all the air in her lungs escaped in a silent sob, her paw over her muzzle as she sniffled and let out another shaky breath. She could feel Jake’s grief as he curled up against the opposite wall of the trunk. It took her a minute to regain her composure after that, but even despite Jake’s wishes, she wasn’t quite done.

“J-Just.. let me say one more thing.. then.. then I’ll leave you alone..”

Candice sniffled a few more times, trying to steady her voice before continuing, but as she spoke, it still came out shaky from her desire to cry again.

“That DVD you smashed… I told you that all the cubs in those films were actors, and weren’t really being harmed. That was only half true. In the studio Omega rented me out to, only some of the cubs were actors. There were some.. who were brought in just to be raped on camera, so that others could pay to see their genuine suffering..”

Candice continued to hug her tail tighter against her body.

“That DVD was.. my first time. I wasn’t an actress. The studio wanted someone new and fresh, so Omega let them take me there, and put me on a set. They didn’t tell me what they wanted from me. They put some clothes on me, gave me some toys and told me to play with them for the camera.. I started playing with them for a short while and.. That’s when my.. partner… came in. I told you that he was gentle and kind… but he wasn’t. He was there to rape me for the camera.”

Candice struggled to keep herself from sobbing again after reliving that horrible day when she had her virginity stolen from her for perverts everywhere in the underground to watch.

“When Omega saw the video, he loved it so much he decided to take me as his own personal toy, and you know what that meant for me. The studio.. they brought me back again and again, for more videos and.. sequels with the one from my first video.. until one day… when I met Sid. He offered to coach me.. to teach me how to act so that I could eventually try out for better roles and have more control over which perverts got to put their dicks inside me.. I was so desperate for the abuse to stop that I worked hard to give them what they wanted.

“I was still very young when I started doing films with Sid. Eventually… he convinced Omega to let me stay with him, but.. Since Omega still owned me, he insisted that I continue making films, so that the studio would continue paying Omega royalties for my appearances. I was so desperate to quit the studio that I would have done anything to get out of it…. and I was given the chance… through you… I thought it would be easy, and I wasn’t thinking of the consequences.. I just wanted a way out--ANY way out.

“Jake, when I first moved in with Sid, I found that same fucking DVD that you did. I wanted to smash it myself.. but Sid told me I shouldn’t be ashamed of it. He convinced me to let him keep it. When you smashed the DVD yourself, at that moment I started to like you for real. I wasn’t just pretending. I thought Sid cared about you too, but…”

Candice couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, and turned her own body around, facing the opposite wall of the trunk as she let all of her emotion out one more time.

“If I had known you before all of this began, and what I would have to put you through, I never would have gone through with it. That’s what I wanted to say. I see now that all Sid really cared about was just having another hole to fuck on his downtime…”

Having explained herself to Jake, Candice broke down with pitiful sobbing, but from this point, she resolved to give Jake what he wanted and leave him to himself for the rest of the ride back to the hotel.

---

When Candace spoke to him again after he’d told her not to, the rabbit tensed visibly and tried to curl his body even smaller despite the shirt that still bound his arms behind his back. He didn’t want to listen to anything she had to say. He could still feel the pain in his backside from his most recent rape and the flesh burned and sizzled much like his anger towards the skunk who had tricked him into mating with her for her own sexual gratification. Jake still couldn’t get over that part, and he wasn’t sure if he could forgive her for everything else either.

Sure, she tried to save him at the last minute, and sure she was apparently upset about having deceived him, but he could no longer believe anything she had to say. For two days she pretended to be this friendly, caring and understanding girl who had experienced the same awful abuse at the paws of Omega, who also bore a permanent reminder of his cruelty in the form of a brand on her thigh, but it had all been a ruse. An act to further her own interests at the expense of his. She’d used him, both directly and indirectly. And to think he’d felt bad about losing control with her in the bedroom the night before.

Jake shuddered and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to ignore what Candace had to say, but even though the revving of the engine and distinct sound of tires spinning against pavement tried to drown her out, the buck’s exceptional hearing made it impossible not to listen. Perhaps that was a good thing, as the sniffling skunk was trying to explain herself regarding one more lie; about the DVD.

The tale she had to tell was horrific, though. So horrifying that he couldn't be certain it was true. He couldn't imagine her going through such an awful ordeal and coming out of it as someone who would willingly throw another cub like her, stuck in the same awful boat, under the bus to improve her own circumstances. It was sickening and even from behind it was clear just how mortified he was. Ears trembling and arms writhing in their bondage, he ground his teeth together in emotional frustration.

He waited as patiently as he could for the girl to finish with her revelation about Sid's true nature, but when he finally spoke after a long silence during which the vehicle struck several potholes that made Jake's body bounce and jostle, he didn't address anything she had mentioned.

“I… watched my friend Samantha die,” he said softly, his own voice on the verge of cracking like Candace’s who'd been crying ever since telling her story. “Omega… he killed her right in front of me. In the--” he choked up for a moment. “In the worst way ever. She died… trying to protect me… My only friend… I--I know she cared. I know… because it killed her… hah… So--so why should I believe anything you say? If--if you really cared then… y-y-you’d be dead too!”

A startled grunt came from the buck as they hit a particularly large bump that tossed his helpless body like a piece of luggage, but he immediately retracted his limbs again, sobbing softly with grief. His arms had begun to ache from their forced bondage and the discomfort had him squirming in a half-hearted attempt to free himself. He hated being bound.

---

As soon as Jake started to speak, Candice’s head raised, hoping that from his tone, he might be ready to forgive her, but what he had to say only made the deceitful skunk feel like absolute scum. He had to watch his friend die, and now thanks to her, this traumatized cub might never be able to trust anyone again. Jake felt at this moment as if he didn’t have a true friend in the world anymore, and it was all her fault.

Watching the cub bounce on his bound arms uncomfortably, she rolled over, and although she didn’t think Jake would appreciate the contact, she carefully slipped the knot free so that Jake could slip the shirt off of his arms. After that, she rolled back to face the opposite wall, and considered Jake’s last question. Why SHOULD he believe her after all the lies she had told him. Defeated, she eventually gave Jake her answer.

“I suppose… you’d be wise not to..”

Candice was silent for the rest of the trip, and when the trunk opened, the two slaves were back in the parking garage, and Omega was dragging Candice out. She hardly put up a fight at this point. She wasn’t looking forward to her punishment, but her spirits were too broken to try to escape it.

Omega grabbed Jake’s arms and wordlessly re-applied his bondage before hoisting the boy over his shoulder once again. In truth, he didn’t really want to carry the boy again, but in the past half hour, Jake didn’t seem like he was willing to walk, and Omega didn’t feel like dragging him either. The two slaves were brought through the corridor, up the elevator, and right back into Omega’s office.

Candice had been compliant thus far, but as soon as the office door closed, and those paws gripped her arms, she suddenly stiffened. The imminence of her punishment brought her fear back to the surface, and she resisted every manipulation Omega had made to her position, pressing her chest against the wall and binding her wrists in some hanging shackles.

He pulled the chain to adjust the height, keeping Candice almost on her tip-toes as he secured the chain. As she pulled lightly on the chains, her eyes following the wolf to his desk, Omega opened a drawer and retrieved a cat-of-nine-tails from within, tapping his chin as he rounded his desk again.

“I wonder…”

He then turned the handle outward and offered the whipping tool to Jake. The position and body language of the two slaves as he had opened the trunk of the car had not gone unnoticed.

“Would you like to do the honors?”

Omega looped one paw around, wondering if Jake would actually do it as he unbound the boy’s arms. Candice struggled to turn her head, eyes fixed on Jake as she was wondering the same thing.

---

Although he was still angry at the girl he was presently imprisoned with, Jake wasn’t sure he’d ever be mad enough to strike at her right here and now, even if his arms were free. In fact, he was already feeling a little guilty for being so cold to her now. He didn’t want to; for all he knew she was just tricking him again. Omega had exposed both her and Sid as being nothing more than actors, and if that was the case then she could simply be playing another imaginary role. Certainly she’d had him convinced back at the opossum’s home, right up until the last second when she gave in to her conscience--and he was almost certain it was little more than guilt that had driven her to divulge the hidden plot to him.

If she’d been any more callous and selfish, Jake might’ve woken the next morning to some horrific ‘surprise’ that Omega had undoubtedly prepared. The poor cub would’ve been taken back with the wolf like he was right now, and the only difference would have been that the girl got exactly what she’d wanted. Freedom from Omega and his hotel. She would still get it, too. Candace would ultimately go free after whatever punishment the lupine was planning, but Jake… He might never see beyond the walls of his waiting cell again. All of those promises and reassurances, they were little more than lies to placate him and keep him from trying to escape on his own.

As he lay there in thought, his tears of misery become ones of rage, an emotion he rarely ever felt so strongly. He’d been so utterly wronged, and though Sid was the main perpetrator just below Omega himself, neither one were accessible to him as a means to exercise his frustrations and desire for revenge. Candace though… After the role she’d played in this sick, twisted game, she more than deserved to be punished. However, Jake doubted he could ever be the one to do it. Mad as he was, he’d never once willingly hurt someone back for hurting him. He was much too soft and compassionate. Besides, the skunk seemed genuinely penitent. But it could just be an act, too… He’d only really met her two days ago. That was hardly enough time to get to know someone.

Sniffling softly as he struggled with his internal conflict, Jake squirmed awkwardly to wipe one of his wet cheeks on his naked shoulder. He moved to do the same with the other when he felt something touch him near his bound arms. The rabbit gasped sharply and kicked out at the interior of the trunk.

“D-don’t touch me--” he was already snapping at Candace before he suddenly felt the binding of his limbs loosen.

Jake rolled over to see the skunk having already retreated back to her side of the tight confines, but her efforts were clear as his arms came free of the shirt that bound him. Though he was grateful to have his arms mobile again, he still hadn’t forgiven Candace’s transgressions. So he said nothing of her gesture, not even a thank-you. He felt bad about it, but he was upset enough to feel that she deserved it.

The rest of the trip passed in relative discomfort and complete darkness save for a single idiot light that cast a weak red glow in their crowded space. With his arms now free, Jake fussed with his shirt until he could put it on his body again properly, then hugged his chest tightly as he rode out the bumpy ride. He wanted to do more, knowing he was being taken back to a life of sexual, physical and psychological torment, but defeat had all but claimed him for now.

When the vehicle finally came to a stop and Omega cut power to the engine, Jake’s nervousness returned. The wolf was quick to exit his car, come round to the rear, pop the trunk and drag Candace out into the considerably brighter but still dimly lit underground parking lot. As she was removed, putting up almost no resistance, Jake rolled over and watched meekly. He bore little sympathy for her treatment, which was obvious but his lack of response, but when it came his turn to be manhandled, the buck naturally fought. Mainly because Omega had zero patience with him and had already thrown his shirt over his head again and forcibly bound both arms behind his back once more.

Jake’s protests were wordless and pitiful, but in a few short moments he was restrained once more, hoisted onto the wolf’s shoulder and marched into the hotel and down the long, winding corridors that led to the personal elevator and, ultimately, Omega’s familiar, frightening office on the top floor. The entire time Jake fidgeted in his position slumped over the man’s shoulder, but he said nothing.

Eventually they reached their destination, and Jake was plopped down onto his feet where he stood awkwardly and wobbled on weak knees. He watched helplessly as the office door was closed and then, to his mixture of satisfaction and concern, the skunk was grabbed unkindly by Omega and forced against a wall to be bound in chains and hiked up precariously onto the tips of her toes. And no sooner did the wolf have the lying girl strung up, did he move to his desk to retrieve a peculiar item that Jake had never seen before.

The naked, restrained rabbit watched with growing worry as Omega stepped around his desk and approached him. Instinctively Jake took a few steps back, fearing that whatever pain-inducing implement the man bore, was intended for him. It looked harmless enough in the wolf’s beefy mitts, but the boy suspected it was capable of great violence, as were many of Omega’s toys no doubt.

Omega was speaking to the air at first, but his words seemed to be addressed to Jake as, once he’d closed the distance and had the frightened cub backed up against a wall, the handle of his curious device was offered to him. Then the wolf proposed that Jake ‘do the honors’ and, with one paw reaching behind the wary and shivering cub, loosened his bondage and allowed the muddled mess of a shirt to slip down his arms and fall to the floor.

Jake was wide-eyed with confusion and fright. He stood stock still, back to a wall as Omega loomed before his naked little body holding out the object like he wanted him to take it. The buck was deeply terrified, but at this moment, the uncertainty was greater. His movements were painfully slow as a paw gingerly rose and reached towards the handle of the nine-tailed whip. Gently his fingers wrapped around it and grasped it firmly. Then Omega let go and the full weight of the weapon made Jake’s arm drop slightly.

It was clear by the look on his face that he didn’t know what he was holding, let alone what to do with it, but a glimpse into those scary yellow eyes showed him that Omega was motioning towards where Candace stood, restrained and looking very worried as Jake’s gaze met hers. What did he want him to do? Did he want Jake to be the one to deliver her punishment? Trembling with fear, the boy side-stepped along the wall a few feet and moved towards the dangling skunk, gaze shifting rapidly between the wolf and Candace and back again.

This didn’t make any sense, but somewhere deep down, in the darkest part of Jake’s damaged psyche, it felt right. He should be the one to punish Candace, but not for trying to help him escape. Jake wanted to hurt her because she lied. She lied to his face, again and again, and took advantage of him, his body and his over-active instincts. According to Omega it was her job to teach him how to mate, which was probably why she had so consistently been toying with his emotions and manipulating him to breach his natural defenses.

That alone made him angry enough to want to strike her, but he still hesitated. Part of the reason was he had no idea how to use the item he’d been given, which he’d only assumed up until now was a weapon simply because it was given to him by Omega. It wasn’t a gun or knife, so Jake suspected it was only for wounding and not killing, otherwise the man wouldn’t have so freely offered it. After all, with a weapon in his paw, there was little that would’ve stopped the rabbit from turning on the real culprit in all this. Omega himself. He’d orchestrated this whole thing and Candace was almost as much of a victim of it as he was. But that didn’t temper his hatred towards her.

Jake’s uncertain gaze shifted back to Omega who stood nearby grinning as the buck lined himself up behind Candace where she faced the wall. Once he’d come to a stop, the boy couldn’t proceed. He didn’t know how. Didn’t know what to do or if he could even do it. As he wobbled on the spot, fussing with the odd instrument in his paw, the wolf started to mime a vertical swinging action, like he was pretending to throw something. Jake frowned, lowering his gaze to the leather object.

He was trying to follow Omega’s logic, and it doing so, he slowly raised the nine-tailed whip and mimicked the gesture in the direction of Candace. His aim was poor and his strength minimal, so the thin straps merely grazed the girl’s naked back. Her reaction however was more than he expected and he jumped back a step as if he’d been slapped.

---

The next few moments as Jake reached up and grasped the tool in his paw intrigued the wolf greatly. It wasn’t his usual style to give any measure of power to his own slaves, yet from the beginning he had been hinting to Jake that he had some level of authority over the “lesser” slaves within the hotel. This was in part to encourage the act of breeding later on, but at this moment, the wolf was quite curious how Jake would handle his power over the girl that, if even only under Omega’s orders, had manipulated and toyed with Jake until the day he would be returned to the hotel.

Although Candice knew Jake was upset with her for all she did, she wasn’t sure whether or not Jake would go through with it. She told herself that surely this sweet little cub didn’t have as much hatred for her as he was letting on. Although to her surprise, Jake began to approach with the tool. The skunk tugged lightly at her chains, unable to follow Jake with her restricted gaze as he moved around directly behind her. She could see the conflict within him before he disappeared from her range of vision.

The next few moments with Jake out of sight were long and tense for the teen, struggling to look directly behind her without success. She wanted to say something, but she knew that anything she said to Jake would probably only make the situation worse. Not only that, but if Jake refused to punish her, Omega would be more than happy to do so in his place. The skunk’s breathing picked up in speed, dancing on her tiptoes to alleviate the discomfort in her wrists, body tense with anticipation.

Omega watched as Jake stared at the whip with confusion in his eyes. He leaned into Jake’s peripheral vision to catch his attention with a demonstrative motion, and to his infinite satisfaction, the cub adjusted his grip, and prepared to strike. The wolf’s grin widened, watching his little breeding slave ready to indulge his desire for vengeance and control.

The longer it took Jake to strike, the more Candice started to believe that Jake was hesitating, rather than trying to figure out how to use the whip. She didn’t see the motion that Omega had made to Jake. Her focus had shifted from worrying what the boy might do to her after all she had done to him, to trying to take the weight off of her aching wrists.

When the strike came, Candice was caught completely off-guard, her back jerking away from the impact of the strike to slap her abdomen against the wall as she screamed with shock. The boy’s weak and inexperienced strike didn’t really hurt, but surely the idea was for Jake to continue doing so until he got the hang of it. If he decided to whip her all night, Omega would gladly indulge the boy.

Omega’s grin widened considerably. He knew there was no pain to that strike. Candice’s reaction was born of the wolf’s most favored emotion. She was breathing vocally, bracing herself for more strikes as Omega offered Jake some coaching.

“Harder. Show me what you can do, Jake. Show me how much pain she and Sid caused you.”

---

The response to his first swing of the nine-limbed torture tool was accompanied swiftly by pangs of guilt and shame, but at the same time, Jake was rewarded with a sense of justice. He knew his assault to Candace’s exposed back hadn’t been very effective, as he hadn’t actually been aiming for her, but that reaction to the tips of the leather weapon grazing her fur gave him an odd rush of adrenaline. The skunk’s body was unaffected, but her reaction was exhilarating. Already the body was wanting to take another shot, but he still hesitated.

A growing conflict in his damaged psychological state was holding him back. He needed to justify his actions to continue, despite feeling angry enough to wail on her all day. She’d betrayed him. Lied, coerced and manipulated him. All to further her own interests in obtaining freedom. It was infuriating, but… At the same time, Jake was unsure whether he’d have done any different. And that small thread of understanding was his biggest failing. Candace had only sought what he and countless others no doubt wanted more than anything else. Freedom; from Omega in particular, but as a whole as well.

It was obvious that she’d been manipulated almost as much as he had, by the wolf himself. He’d taken advantage of her desire to escape a life of slavery that she’d been enduring since she was younger than him--if he were to believe her story about the ‘acting’ career that is. Jake couldn’t really blame her for that. The buck had only been in this nightmare for about a week and half and already he was desperate enough that he might do anything to be free of it. It was because of that desperation alone that he was even standing here now with this many-headed whip gripped in his trembling paws.

There was another aspect to consider as well. He was angry, sure. And striking Candace with this weapon might make him feel better temporarily, but ultimately he took little joy in it. Jake merely wanted to show the girl just how much she’d hurt him. Omega on the other hand, sought only to cause pain and terror for the sake of his own amusement. Right now, the task of punishing the skunk was in his little, inexperienced paws. He wasn’t as strong or as heartless as the wolf; he was just angry and needed to vent his frustrations on something. If he did it in Omega’s stead, Candace wouldn’t suffer nearly as much.

But did she deserve that mercy?

Jake only had a few moments reprieve after his test swing before the wolf nearby openly encouraged him to do it again but harder. Seeing the intense pleasure on Omega’s face only added to the cub’s conflict. He wanted him to do it. Wanted him to punish her. The man sought to fan the flames of Jake’s vengeance by reminding him of the pain both Sid and the girl strung up before him had caused. And it was working. Jake’s trembling jaw tensed and his expression set into one of grim determination. Omega was right, but only because he’d been responsible for the whole thing.

The poor, struggling buck would’ve more happily turned his weapon on Omega instead, but past experience told him that was a very bad idea. Right now the wolf was egging him on, trying to control him through his anger at Candace, but the second he decided that his captor deserved his wrath more, Omega would undoubtedly come down on him hard. The last thing he wanted to do was disappoint the man at this juncture. He’d begun to find that a happy Omega was a less vicious one, and that deep-seated fear was more than enough to keep the whip and Jake’s attention focused on Candace.

So he had to rationalize the choice to hurt the girl instead of being hurt himself. And the best way to do that was to assume this was a test he could pass or fail. If he kept hitting Candace with this weapon, Omega would be pleased, of that he had little doubt. But if he decided not to, the repercussions couldn’t be predicted. The wolf might just take over in his stead and viciously beat the skunk, or he might get mad, beat Jake instead and then turn his attention to Candace after. That possibility was easily the worst of the two, and it was enough encouragement to make him raise the whip in preparation for another strike.

His inner turmoil was clear as day though as he froze for a few seconds, the weapon hovering by his head in his trembling grip. Tears had begun to well up in his eyes before he shut them and swung the cat-of-nine-tails as hard as he could. The many whips hit their mark and Candace screamed in genuine pain this time. Jake flinched sharply and recoiled, nearly dropping the weapon in his disbelief and shame, fresh tears staining the fur of his cheeks. He opened his eyes a moment after to see the skunk swaying slightly and shivering in her bondage, but her black-and-white-haired back seemed little worse for wear.

He’d half expected to see bloody welts where he hit her, like there’d been after Omega’s violent assault on him that time he’d vomited up his food. But then… he wasn’t as strong as the wolf. His attack probably stung, and in fact he could imagine that burning pain from his past experience, but it wouldn’t scar or disfigure her. That had to be the best he could offer Candace as a show of mercy despite his anger for being manipulated by her. It seemed like the better of both worlds. He got the revenge he wanted and deserved, and she was spared a far worse fate at the claws of Omega.

As angry as he was, he knew well enough by now to understand that punishment at Omega’s hand was a fate worse than death. And sure… Candace would never have to experience that level of trauma again, where Jake would continue to endure it for a lifetime, but…

The whip struck Candace’s back again, hard as the buck could swing it before he even realized he’d primed himself for another attack. This time he did drop the weapon as the scream that issued forth from the skunk was heart-crushing. His anger was too real and his desire for retribution more than he could handle. He wanted to punish her, wanted to spare her, but most of all he wanted to hurt the true villain. His paws were tied almost as literally as if that shirt were still forcing his arms behind his back. This wasn’t right. He knew it wasn’t. But he wasn’t sure if he wanted it to be, either.

Candace had hurt him. Humiliated him. But Omega had done so much worse. He’d broken Jake in ways the cub hadn’t even realized, but he couldn’t just stop now. Dropping to his knees with a frantic look in his eyes, the buck scrambled to pick up the whip and stood again, his posture introverted and uncertain. He was suddenly hyper aware of his and Candace’s nudity and it was causing him to struggle with shame and embarrassment. Jake had to hit her again, and again and again, until Omega was satisfied enough not to take over for him, but after using the whip on her three times, he was already crippled by his own sympathy for the girl, who by all rights didn’t deserve it in his mind.

Swallowing the rising lump in his throat, Jake raised his arm again. This time the whip felt like it weighed a hundred pounds though and he struggled to keep it above his head. The buck issued a strained whine, tears streaming down his cheeks until he retracted his stance long enough to wipe both eyes with his free paw. The weapon rose again, and the cub gritted his teeth, trying to cling to his anger and avoid thinking of anything else. The pain, the shame, the injustice.

He swung the whip again, his arm already beginning to ache from the strain. He didn’t speak, but in his head he was apologizing profusely. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m s-so sorry, he thought over and over as he forced himself to deliver one blow after another, throwing his whole body into each one such that his little boyhood bounced around uncomfortably.

---

At Omega’s urging, Jake raised the whip again, and once Candice saw the widening grin that resulted, her body tensed, realizing that Jake was indeed planning to strike her again.

“J... “

She couldn’t try to talk him out of it. She was certain that her voice, to Jake, was a voice which only spouted lies and deceit. The delay of Jake’s swing was agonizing. She knew it was coming, and her heart raced with every second she was so blind and vulnerable to the boy she had betrayed. When the strike finally came, she yelped out before trying to catch her breath. That cute, helpless cub she had gotten to know now had her at his mercy, and fully intended to make her pay for her crimes.

She wanted to beg Jake to stop. It wasn’t that she didn’t think she deserved his wrath, but she was helpless and scared, a victim of Omega’s cruel game, just as Jake was before. Now the tables had turned and Jake was being manipulated to harm her directly. The next strike slapped directly across the already stinging flesh from the previous strike, even harder than before. Her back arched, her leg lifted against the wall as if she were trying to climb it, and let out a shriek as the surprising power of Jake’s vengeful strike hit its mark.

It was a strain for Candice to keep that large tail in the path of Jake’s weapon, and the delay before each strike allowed time for that long appendage to droop with fatigue. As Jake knelt to pick up the weapon, Omega quickly remedied the situation, taking off his belt and using it to secure Candice’s tail to one of her legs, keeping it permanently out of the way. The wolf stepped back as Jake rose with the whip again. To his delight, Jake wasn’t finished.

Candice could hear the conflict in Jake’s voice, and she thought this might be her best chance to appeal to Jake’s conflict and get him to stop. Before she could speak, however, Jake snapped the whip across her back again, and again, and again, raising welts and opening them to form bloody streaks across her fur and flesh. Soon, she had emptied her lungs with a steady scream, tears falling down her face, barely able to take in enough of a breath to force her words through her lips.

“Please.. Please... !”

It seemed Jake didn’t hear her plea, or didn’t care. She slid her body along the wall as far from the source of the pain as possible, but it wasn’t nearly enough to do any good. Omega was leaning back against his desk, just enjoying the show for as long as Jake was willing to perform.

When it seemed clear that Jake was finished, the wolf had one more piece of equipment to retrieve, although he was almost certain he wouldn’t be using it this early in Jake’s development. It was an adjustable spreader bar. Omega was almost certain Jake wouldn’t agree to his next suggestion, but it was worth a shot, he thought.

“You can stop now, Jake. You did very well. You’ve earned a long rest and a good meal, my boy. Although.. If you’d like, and if you’re feeling up for it, you can fuck her. This time it will be on your own terms. Use her as you wish, or not. You’re in control now.”

---

By the time Omega chose to bring an end to the present cycle of abuse, Jake was panting breathlessly with exertion and emotional trauma. The flesh around his eyes was red and irritated and his cheeks soaked by a steady stream of tears that no doubt mirrored Candace’s face. Once he’d forced himself to deliver strike after strike, he’d fallen into a mindless rhythm, so mortified by what he was doing that partway through he could no longer look upon the girl he was assaulting. He was fighting himself the entire time, body trembling and lungs burning as he whimpered before and after each swing of the whip.

Much as he exercised his power over the girl, exacting a revenge that sailed above and beyond what she really, truly deserved, Jake was deeply torn by his actions. His knuckles ached from his tight grip on the whip and his legs had become rubbery, but he continued his blind attacks until even his meager strength managed to break skin and draw blood. He didn’t realize it however until Omega’s voice reached his ears, permitting him to stop. His response was almost instantaneous as he dropped to his knees, panting heavily. Jake opened his eyes to look at his handiwork, and the sight of fluid shimmering in Candace’s black fur and the very obvious red stains in the white, made him gasp in horror.

The whip fell from his mortified fingers, hitting the ground more like it had been thrown in disgust. He immediately clasped both paws over his muzzle and whined loudly. Candace was dangling almost limply now, crying and sniffling as her back no doubt burned with immense pain. Pain that Jake himself had caused. She was bleeding and likely scarred, and it was his fault. He did that to her, not Omega. He’d lost himself to his own anger and grief and now he stared in horror at the torment he’d inflicted upon the girl whose only crime was doing as the wolf had told her in the hopes she’d secure her freedom.

He’d punished her alright. For the one thing he sought as much as she did. Freedom. She’d just wanted the nightmare to end, and for her trouble she’d earned a permanent reminder of the pain she’d caused Jake. The buck was visibly trembling as he hugged himself tightly and sobbed. The sound of her voice still rang in his ears as she’d feebly attempted to sway him from harming her. But he’d ignored it, believing nothing by lies would come forth to manipulate him again into sparing her what he’d felt she deserved.

“I’m… I’m sorry, Candace,” he whined softly, slumping on his knees with his legs spread. He stared hard at the floor where his tears began to accumulate. “I’m s--so sorry…”

Even as the words left his mouth he was conflicted about them. He was feeling immense guilt and regret, but secretly he suspected he’d actually enjoyed showing her the consequences of taking advantage of him. He’d taken some sort of sick pleasure in that power over her. It had given him a sense of authority he’d never felt before, but more importantly, he was finally in control of something for once. Ever since being kidnapped and abused by Omega and his people, Jake had been helpless. Little more than a victim to be tormented. He still was too, but the wolf, for all his horrific flaws, wasn’t above letting his ‘pet’ experience a taste of what he got to relish in every day.

Unfortunately, Jake didn’t know how to feel about all this. Having some control in his awful new life was appealing, but it wasn’t really freedom. It was Omega’s will that he hurt others, because he probably enjoyed coercing the cub into it. In the end he was doing exactly what the wolf wanted, which was precisely the last thing Jake wanted. He hated Omega almost as much as he feared him, and it was that fear that drove him to hurt Candace so viciously, not his desire for payback. And he’d let it happen.

Leaning forward to support his upper body on his paws, Jake stared hard at the floor, jaw trembling as he sobbed softly, disgusted with himself. He’d let his anger get the better of him and now he was no better than Omega, who hurt others for fun. The poor rabbit was crushed, and to make it worse, the wolf came to his side bearing something in his paws as he congratulated Jake on his ruthlessness. The boy shivered visibly, familiar chills running up and down his spine just from being in such close proximity to the predator.

Omega was already planning the next step as he casually offered for Jake not only to continue Candace’s punishment, but to do so in a particularly poetic way by mating with her again on his own terms, where last time he’d been lured into it with the girl’s niceties. The prospect, despite making him sick to his stomach to even consider, was oddly enticing. In his mind, beyond her lies and deceit, the greatest sin she’d committed against him, was taking advantage of him sexually. He hated her for that as much as he hated Omega for the crimes he’d committed against him. Perhaps even more, because he’d actually trusted her.

But still, Jake was hesitant. He wasn’t sure he could even get aroused, let alone commit to such a heinous act. If he didn’t though, there was a chance that Omega would have his way instead, and after what he’d just done to her, Jake was already feeling guilty enough. He had to weigh his options. He didn’t want to hurt her more if he didn’t have to, and maybe the wolf was satisfied with his efforts so far. She’d been punished now, so… maybe he’d let her go.

“H… Hasn’t she… b-been punished enough?” he squeaked, body tensing as his open paws clenched into fists on the floor. “I… I don’t know if I can… if…” Jake shuddered audibly and squeezed his eyes shut to lock in the fresh tears forming. “I just--want her to go. I-I don’t wanna see her ever again. Please...”

---

By the time Jake had finished, Candice’s body was writhing from the throbbing pain on her back. She sobbed as the torment ended, barely able to close her muzzle as she sniffled. She had no idea this little bunny was capable of such ferocity, and by the time Jake was finished, Candice’s spirit was just as broken as when she was forced to lie in the trunk with the resentful object of her recent deception.

The moment Jake apologised to her, however, all of the fear she had been experiencing up to this point disappeared. With Omega pleased and Jake’s rage burned out, she knew there were no more strikes coming her way, causing her to slump against the wall to catch her breath between silent sobs. It took her awhile to respond.

However, before she could get the words out, Omega had begun coercing Jake to rape her. Still sore from Omega’s prior abuse, Candice’s exposed slit immediately clenched at those words. She had experienced Jake’s feral lust already, but if he were to indulge again now, she wouldn’t be able to protect herself, especially if her legs were bound in that spreader bar Omega was wielding.

When Jake refused, Omega knelt next to Jake and patted the boy lightly on the back. It was a gentle touch, although the wolf didn’t exactly dislike Jake’s consistent reaction to the rapist’s paw touching his naked body anywhere.

“Of course, Jake. The punishment is over, but this isn’t about punishment. This is about your unique privilege to take control and power over any slave you wish. This is about forgetting your misery and just having a bit of fun whenever you want, and with whomever you want. It’s not about punishment, as it never was when I fucked you. It’s about liberating your desires and your senses. She’s here, right now, as YOUR plaything. Besides, eventually you’re going to fuck some females, and sooner or later, you need to learn how to handle them.”

Omega patted between Jake’s ears before standing, leaning the spreader bar against the wall.

“But that can wait. You’ve done well today, and if it’s your wish never to see this girl again, then so be it.”

Omega unlocked the shackles. Candice would have fallen to her knees if there was any room in front of her, but instead, they pushed against the wall, sending her backwards onto her rump, causing her to yelp as she landed on her bound tail. She quickly removed the belt that bound it to her leg, raising her eyes to Omega, who was motioning to the door.

“Well, Candice, you’re free to go.”

Candice remained on the floor a moment longer, knowing she wasn’t really free, just transferred from one master to another, even if the second wasn’t as cruel. Slowly, shakily, the naked skunk stood to her feet, hugging her tail once again. She probably would never be comfortable being naked around anyone again as she slowly shuffled to the door, never looking back as she opened it and shuffled out of the room, and out of Jake’s life, just as he had requested.

Once the door closed, Omega sat at his desk, activating the intercom.

“Hey chef, have Alex prepare a big victory feast for my boy.”

---

Sensing Omega kneel down behind him, Jake was already wincing before that paw made contact with his back ever so briefly. He jumped visibly and hunched his shoulders, ears slumped against his head and twitching fearfully. For a moment he expected the wolf to actually strike him for daring to refuse the offer to rape the girl he'd just beaten.

Instead however, the man seemed to accept his decision, even if it was accompanied by a half-hearted attempt to warm him to the idea by implying it wasn't about punishment but some sort of sick self-gratification instead. Just hearing those words made him shudder and whimper softly, and to top it off, Omega casually reminded him that one day this discussion would arise again and he wouldn't have a choice in the matter. The wolf wanted Jake to mate and spread his genes to future offspring. A concept which still twisted his insides whenever it was brought up.

“B… but I don't… I don't wanna mate,” he moaned quietly, but Omega had already returned to his feet and stepped away, setting the spreader bar aside before releasing Candace from her bondage and addressing her.

The girl struck the ground painfully enough to make Jake cringe sympathetically, but he couldn't bring himself look at her again. Not after what he'd done. Her back was a bloody mess and despite the pain it caused her she fussed to remove the belt that restricted her tail, slowly rose to her feet and moved to leave. Jake listened to the soft sound of her footsteps as she slipped out of the room, never to be seen again.

He already missed her. She hadn't even gone that far and already he regretted everything that had happened. Regretted especially demanding that she leave. With her no longer present it was just Jake and Omega in the office and that wolf was the last creature he wanted to be left alone with. He trembled visibly before calling after the girl in a squeaky voice filled with grief.

“I'm sorry!”

Whether she heard or not he didn't know, but the fact was she was gone now, the door closed behind her. Meanwhile Omega had already returned to his desk and sat down. There was only a moment of silence before the familiar crackle of the intercom reached Jake's ears. His heart lifted slightly at the promise of food, but with how lonely he was suddenly feeling in Candace’s absence, he found himself looking forward to seeing Alex again.

Ears perking up, Jake leaned back onto his haunches and turned slightly to glimpse Omega out of the corner of his eye. He didn't dare address Omega directly, so instead he spoke to the floor, shivering in worried anticipation of the wolf's answer.

“W-will Alex be…” he started to say before blushing. It suddenly felt foolish to seek companionship with the mouse so soon after he'd brutally harmed someone else. “I-I don't want to eat alone... Please?”

---

Omega smirked as Jake meekly asked if Alex could join him in his feast, letting out a slight chuckle. He was going to send Alex away after delivering the meal, but Jake had been quite cooperative in punishing Candice, and thus had taken a very large step in his training by willingly inflicting pain on her. The wolf was willing to grant just about any request to reward the young buck. If Jake had asked Omega for a blowjob.. well, the chances of Omega accepting that were less than slim, but he would have at least considered it for a few seconds.

“Why the hell not, kid. You’ve earned it.” Omega’s finger clicked onto the intercom again. “Hey chef, double that order, if you would.”

Omega stood from his desk as the acknowledgement came through, swiping up the keys from the corner of his desk and making his way over to Jake’s cell, which had been empty for two days. The place had been recently cleaned, and the mattress wiped down and disinfected, however, the blood stains remained, including the fresh, relatively new ones from Omega and Jake’s struggle before he was sent away.

Omega allowed Jake the choice of waiting in his cell, or in the office as Alex was preparing their meal. Alex eventually arrived with a double-helping of salad, cheese, lots of bread, carrots, a big enough bowl of fruit slices for both cubs to eat their fill, and an assortment of dressings and spices. The two cubs couldn’t hope to finish this meal in one sitting. It would take them all night. A big bottle of juice with plastic cups was among the feast, but one lone glass stood out to Omega.

“Is that.. wine?”

“Chef’s idea.. He said Jake could probably use some alcohol, but.. I don’t know what he means.”

Alex responded nervously as Omega rubbed his chin. Cubs didn’t usually enjoy the taste of alcohol. It seemed like just a waste of money to him, but a part of him was curious if Jake would actually try it.

“Well I’m going to have to have a little chat with the chef later about wasting drinks. So, Alex, do you know who the extra helpings are for?”

“N.. No, sir.”

“You and Jake can share the feast tonight.”

“R.. Really? Th-Thank you!”

“Oh don’t think me.” Omega’s approving gaze shifted to Jake. “Jake has earned a big reward today, and he chose to share it with you. Now, in you go.”

Omega ushered Alex towards the cell. The rodent smiled as his eyes met Jake’s for the first time since the bunny’s absence, though he tried to hide his enthusiasm a little. As much as he was happy to see Jake again, Alex understood that Jake probably wasn’t happy to be back in the presence of the evil wolf, however generous he was being at the moment. They both knew it wouldn’t last.

---

The wolf’s smirk didn’t go unnoticed by the nervous cub, as he worriedly expected some twisted answer that would likely imply an ulterior motive. Instead, however, what Jake got was overwhelming approval. It honestly surprised the buck greatly to see Omega, ever the cruel and heartless monster, suddenly perking up and behaving so jovial, like he was on top of the world. The act of coercing the cub into exacting his revenge must’ve made the man happier than he realized. Jake had already figured out that the man took great pleasure in humiliating, abusing and otherwise traumatizing him, but he had no idea just how nice he could be when he wanted to.

Not only had the tone of his voice changed, ringing with an unfamiliar sincerity that hadn’t even been present on the day before Jake’s virginity was taken, but in his newfound generosity, Omega called the chef back to double the quantity of food to be prepared. At that, Jake’s head turned to completely face the wolf, eyes wide and mouth open in awe. Already the regret he’d felt for Candace began to soften. Something that hadn’t caused him any physical harm--aside from what he did to himself--had made Omega so much more agreeable to Jake’s requests, that the buck found himself wanting, even craving the idea of obeying in exchange for a nicer rapist.

This actually wasn’t even the first example of the wolf’s kindness in the face of doing as he was told. When he’d stolen that key several days ago, Jake had found himself in a similar situation where he had the choice between obeying and disobeying. And even despite his ‘crime’ and that  particular day being a ‘special’ one, doing as he was told spared him. So as far as the buck was concerned that was confirmation. Already though, the suddenly manipulative rabbit was wondering how it might work to his advantage. He didn’t have to think long, fortunately, as Omega had risen from his desk, scooped up his keys and proceeded to open Jake’s cell. The buck winced, anticipating that the wolf would instruct him to enter.

But he didn’t. In fact, after opening the door, Omega didn’t say a word as he returned to his desk to wait for Alex’s arrival. Jake found himself staring directly at the wolf, dumbfounded and fascinated rather than afraid like he’d been ever since he met him. It was easier for him to do so thanks to distance and the fact the man was mostly faced away from him, keeping that scary face from inciting terror. He realized then that this was the first time he’d really looked at Omega closely. He was still scary, no doubt about it, but there was a lighter quality to him presently.

It might’ve just been his hopeful imagination, but he preferred what he saw right now over what had been the stuff of nightmares before. Granted, Jake still couldn’t stare at that face for very long, especially with just the hint of those yellow eyes possibly looking back at him. He looked away sharply and shuddered before spotting his abandoned shirt on the floor. At the sight more possible requests flooded into his mind to fill the void made by Omega’s face. In growing confidence, the buck crawled on hands and knees over to the shirt, picking it up and holding it to his abdomen as something to hide his nakedness.

Naturally, Jake would’ve preferred putting it on instead, but he wasn’t ready yet to test what Omega was willing to allow. So he waited near the door to the wolf’s office where, some ten minutes later, Alex emerged through it, wheeling a cart into the room that bore so much delicious-looking food that Jake’s mouth watered at the sight. He couldn’t help following behind the mouse as he moved further into the room, trailing that delectable earthy aroma of greens. After the emotional distress he’d been put through, the rabbit was practically starving now. And with so much food at his disposal, there’d be more than enough for both cubs; Jake also suspected Alex would be very appreciative of the current spread over his usual diet.

The eight-year-old rabbit had just risen to his feet, holding the rumpled shirt over his groin meekly as he observed the exchange between Alex and Omega. The wolf had remarked on a bottle of something he called wine and which the mouse identified as alcohol. He knew what alcohol was, but he was left just as baffled by what the chef had meant as Alex himself was. The buck’s curiosity was peaked though, daring to take a step forward with his nose twitching enthusiastically.

Though Omega didn’t sound amused by the prospect of there being a bottle of wine on the menu, he changed the topic in favor of informing the mouse that he’d be dining with Jake today; news which was received so well that the buck couldn’t help but smile and nibble one of his lips sheepishly. He’d actually almost forgotten about the horrific thing he’d done to Candace to even earn this, but when Omega began ushering Alex into Jake’s cell, the fresh memories quickly returned and with it came the flood of demands he sought. Number one on the list was avoiding that tiny cell for as long as he could.

“W-wait!” he said suddenly, louder than he intended, which caused him to slap a free paw over his muzzle when both creatures turned to face him. “I--uhm… was… w-wondering if we could, uh… eat out… here? A--alone. J-j-just for a little while.” Jake was visibly nervous, shoulders hunched, voice cracking and ears lowered defensively. It felt like a huge risk to push his luck, but he wanted to try. “W-w-w-we could sit on th--the couch. W-would that be okay, Omega?”

---

As Omega approached the cubs to usher them into Jake’s cell, and Jake suddenly halted their progress before clasping his paws over his muzzle, Omega was pleased. He was pleased to see that, even as Jake didn’t feel particularly threatened at this moment, his instinctual fear was still prodding at the surface. Jake made his proposal nervously, but as he made it, Omega frowned, staring down at Jake as he considered this request for a moment.

“Jake, I’ll let you eat your meal out here, but I’m not leaving either of you alone in my office.. unless..”

At first, the wolf was displeased that rewarding the young buck meant that he would have to stay in his office to supervise the two. Omega had things to get done. He had to step out of his office soon to, among other errands, conclude the deal with Sid, but if he continued to reinforce Jake’s violent assault on Candice, he would have to remain in his office to babysit the two slaves. However, an idea struck him that the two cubs might not find very appealing, but would perhaps rather agree to than be shut in that cell.

The wolf walked over to the couch, reaching below it and picking up two shackles, adjusting their length to give them a fair amount more reach than they had when Alex was chained to the couch for one of Jake’s breeding lessons.

“If you both wear these shackles on your ankles, you can eat here. Deal?”

Omega jingled the chains a bit as he waited for a reply. Alex lowered his ears, but it didn’t take him long to start towards the couch, assuming Jake would also find it a better alternative than eating in that cell, although he hesitated when he got close, remembering what happened last time he was chained up on that couch. He was more than willing to do it if Jake agreed, but it still made him a bit uneasy.

---

Hearing his name spoken in that familiar tone that suggested Omega wasn’t pleased with his demands, Jake winced inwards on himself. He fully expected his plan to backfire, with the wolf perhaps threatening some frightening fate if he didn’t get into his cell immediately. Fear of the man was still very strong in Jake, so a new tone and a single kind gesture wasn’t going to make him forget everything that had happened. Which was why he’d kept a considerable distance from the wolf when the query was posed, an instinctive preparation in case his body compelled him to bolt away from an impending assault.

Fortunately, what followed was considerably less disheartening than being struck or threatened. Omega was actually receptive to the idea, but apparently, perhaps as a result of Jake’s previous transgression, he wasn’t willing to leave them by themselves. Jake’s expression along with his ears drooped in response, but they didn’t hang there long before perking up again, slightly. He’d opened negotiations and now the wolf was going to bargain. The rabbit was hopeful, and rather concerned as well, regarding what the consequence of their temporary accommodation would be.

Watching intently, Jake observed Omega moving towards the couch and reaching beneath it for something that rattled and clanked loudly as he fussed with it. After only a few moments, the cub already had a good idea what he was going for and his ears wilted again, just a little. The wolf extracted two shackled coupled with their chains, which had been extended enough to give the pair limited mobility, ensuring they wouldn’t be making any trips across the room, let alone be able to escape unwanted physical contact. It was a big risk in Jake’s mind, even though Alex had already weighed the decision and seemed to have made up his.

The buck stood by while the mouse moved towards the couch, hesitant but voluntarily. Jake took a little longer to start moving, his paws holding the shirt over his loins firmly as he eyed Omega and the swinging chains that made the shackles clatter against one another. He wasn’t fond of being chained to the same couch where he’d been forced to hurt Alex, but anything was better than being trapped in that tiny room waiting fearfully for the next time it would open and admit the subject of his worst nightmares.

“O… Okay…” he said slowly, his footsteps taking longer each time the closer he drew to Omega. His instincts had not gone away, and the willful approach towards a predator was triggering his fight or flight response. In the wild it would’ve been a death wish to allow a wolf or a fox or even a dog close enough to bite, but Jake was trying to base his decision on objective logic. A shackle was better than a stuffy cell, and there was a slim chance he and Alex might be able to escape their bondage out here whereas that door was impenetrable.

So against his instinctual fear and rising hackles, the buck joined Alex as they both found a spot on the couch. Jake was trembling visibly within such proximity to Omega and his musk, but he remained stationary, only offering a noticeable flinch when the shackle snapped shut around his right ankle and Alex’s left. Immediately following, the wolf reached for the shirt the cub was still clinging to, but he withdrew it from reach with a hunch of his shoulders.

“Ah!... Um… C-c-could I keep it?” he asked nervously.”F-f-f-for now?” He added the second part quickly, as he strongly doubted Omega would ever let him keep any scrap of clothing indefinitely.

---

Omega’s smirk returned as he witnessed Alex’s hesitation. The wolf had noticed that Alex had been much more careful when handling food since Omega forced Jake to rape him over the dropped meal. Being shackled to the couch with Jake nearby was going to take a little while for Alex to get used to. The rodent covered his privates with his paws once the shackle was snapped onto his ankle. He remained that way as Omega did the same with Jake.

Once the shackle was in place, Omega lifted his gaze to the privates of his little slaves, both covered. He rather liked the sight of Alex’s teasing modesty, but Jake was still clinging to the very shirt he had been bound with for his trip back to the hotel. The gift of clothing from Candice and Sid was only meant to be a temporary one, as it was with the clothing Jake received in the suite on his first night ravaged by his captor.

Omega didn’t intend for Jake to remain covered by clothing for this long, even if he wasn’t wearing it, so he reached for it, raising his gaze to Jake as the otherwise naked cub retracted the shirt from the wolf’s grasp, asking to hold onto it for now, to which Omega raised a finger.

“For now..”

As Omega stood to retrieve the tray of food and move it within reach of the hungry cubs, he started to wonder if there was a reward he could offer substantial enough to entice Jake to rape an innocent female, someone younger than him who had never wronged him as Candice did. He couldn’t even get Jake to rape her despite all she had done, but that was to be expected.

Omega thought back to that moment before Jake began to strike Candice, and he remembered a certain subtlety in his movements that Omega missed at first, which gave the wolf an idea. Although Omega wasn’t particularly fond of what he had come up with, it still made him grin as he thought of how it might progress Jake’s training one more giant leap. He didn’t bother to hide the grin either, although neither cub’s eyes usually rose as high as his face.

Resolving to put his next plan into action tomorrow, he fuzzled the tops of both cubs’ heads briefly before stepping away.

“Enjoy your meal. Alex can stay with you tonight and you can take what you can’t finish into your cell later. I’ll be back a little later to check up on you two.”

With that, Omega exited the office, leaving the cubs with their tray packed full of food and drink. As soon as Omega was no longer in the room, Alex immediately relaxed, moving his paws away from his privates and raising his paws slightly, eyes scanning back and forth over the feast he had helped prepare. He wasn’t sure what to eat first. Glancing towards Jake for a moment, Alex then reached, a little slowly, as if Omega was going to burst in and punish him if he touched anything, towards the bowl of fruit.

Alex picked up a cube of watermelon, moving it ever so cautiously towards his muzzle, eyes shifting towards the office door. Eventually he loaded the fruit into his muzzle and slowly crushed the cube with his tongue and the roof of his mouth, letting out a soft sound of approval as he let the juices fill his mouth. Once he had eaten his first bite, his caution slowly disappeared, and he began to help himself to the ample portions in front of him.

---

For a tense moment Jake had regretted pulling the bundled up shirt out of Omega’s reach, expecting a violent retaliation. He shook on the spot, head turning to the side, one eye closed and ears pressed firmly against his back. The buck was almost certain the wolf wouldn’t let him keep the shirt, despite the concession he’d made to allow the pair to stay in his office unsupervised. So once more he was surprised when Omega raised a finger and restated Jake’s last two words. He sounded tense though, like he wasn’t terribly pleased by the frequency of the rabbit’s requests.

Luckily, he conceded though, much to Jake’s immense relief. As soon as Omega backed away to retrieve the cart of food and move it closer, the buck lowered his gaze again, avoiding the sight of the grin that formed on the wolf’s face shortly before he ruffled the head hair of the two cubs, making the suddenly uncomfortable. Chills ran up Jake’s spine in response to the physical contact, but he stayed perfectly still and tensed his muscles as Omega offered some parting words that included a promise to check in on them later.

After that, both cubs waited in nervous silence as the massive wolf in his business suit, slipped out of the room and shut the door behind him. All at once Jake and Alex relaxed visibly, with the rabbit letting out a deep, grateful sigh. Omega was gone, they were alone and neither of them had to be trapped inside that small cell to eat their generous meal. Jake was amazed by how well that had worked. Each time he’d expected the worst, as his previous week of imprisonment had taught him to all too well, Omega shocked him by permitting him his soft-spoken demands with barely a second thought.

Having won so many small victories in so little time, Jake was suddenly feeling more confident, perhaps even a little brave. It seemed hard to imagine that someone like Omega would bow to his will simply because he’d done as he was told. It was exhilarating; like he actually had some real power for once, and over the man who’d caused him so much pain, no less. For once Jake was actually smiling with genuine happiness. It was almost like he could forget all the torment he’d endured, despite some of those old pains still haunting him even now.

The best part of the whole situation however, was that he had Alex to talk to. He wasn’t alone and afraid for the first time in days. Even the mouse seemed to be quite content once Omega had left. The hungry little rodent was already reaching for a piece of fruit to eat, albeit hesitantly at first. Once he’d gotten a taste of that sweet melon chunk though, his remaining tensions eased and Jake watched with a growing satisfaction as Alex began digging into their vegetarian delight. There was just one last thing the buck needed to do, mostly for himself in the hopes of bringing some closure to the horrific deed that had earned him this feast and welcome company.

“Hey… Alex,” he said softly, paws scrunching up the shirt before he raised it in one arm and extended it towards the mouse. “I want you to wear it for now, okay? It--it’s okay. You’ve… been here longer than me, and… and I know I missed it. So… I mean if you want to, that is… I--I understand if you’re used to being… well… like this. But I… I like t’think that it makes me safe. Y’know?”

---

Alex couldn’t have been happier at this moment. The last time he had come close to feeling this happy was when he stayed up all night with Jake playing that handheld gaming device, only this time it didn’t immediately follow something horrible on his end. The rodent was only allowed to make a small meal for himself, once a week, as long as he didn’t make any mistakes. Any time he ever saw a meal this big, it was always going to someone else. He could only fantasize about eating it himself.

He didn’t know what Jake had done to earn such a reward, and he didn’t want to ask. The little white mouse just picked around the plate of food, taking mouthfuls of fruits, salad, and bread. Although eager, the little rodent was careful not to drop any of the food that he had picked up, his expression tense when a bit of salad nearly fell from his plastic fork. However, he prevented the food from falling, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued eating.

Thirsty, Alex was reaching for the bottle of juice when Jake got his attention. The shirt, which was temporarily left in Jake’s possession as another of Omega’s rewards for whatever Jake had done, was being offered to him, just as the food was. Alex’s eyes fell to the shirt, blushing deeply at Jake’s gesture before slowly reaching out with his paw. He wasn’t sure what Omega would think of Alex wearing the shirt that the wolf only said that Jake could keep, but eventually he grasped the fabric, and paused.

“Y.. You’re so nice!”

With that, the rodent suddenly wrapped his arms around the now naked bunny, giving him a quick hug before fussing with the shirt. It had been a very long time since he had worn one. He slipped the shirt over his head, not realizing he was putting it on backwards. He didn’t notice or care, though. It just barely reached the tip of his sheath. His privates were still exposed, but the mouse still felt less vulnerable with the small amount of protection the clothing had provided.

Alex’s spirits were as high as ever, even if he had to pull the back of the collar off of his neck every now and then. It was a minor nuisance as he poured himself a cup of fruit juice from the bottle and took a big gulp, squeaking into the cup as he pulled it away. The liquid was still too cold to be gulped down so fast.

---

The look on Alex’s face when he realized that he was being offered clothing, lifted Jake’s heart considerably. He was quite startled though when the smaller mouse suddenly threw himself at him. The buck wasn’t prepared for such an overwhelming response. A squeak of surprise and an abruptly rigid posture was all he could offer when Alex embraced him so readily, despite what Omega had once forced him to do to him. It was the first time either cub had actually made any real physical contact with each other since they’d been forced into that sick game. But honestly, seeing the younger cub grateful and fearless in his presence did so much to ease his own tensions.

But still, there was a lingering doubt in the back of his mind. He hadn’t forgotten what he did to get all this. That guilt wouldn’t stop eating at him as he watched Alex take the shirt eagerly and pull it over and down past his big round ears. The boy was so excited to have something to wear. It reminded Jake of when he’d gotten to spend a day of luxury alone, fully clothed in a pair of comfy pajamas. He’d loved it and for just a little while had been able to forget about all the cruelties committed against him.

Unfortunately, however, that day ended and the next had something so horrifying to offer that even now, Jake couldn’t sleep without suffering from nightmares in which he relived that first, brutal rape where his virginity was stolen away. The rabbit visibly slumped as awful memories surfaced and assaulted him. He didn’t want Alex to see him upset, so Jake reached for a bowl of fruit slices and plopped it onto his lap over his own naked groin to eat while he observed the mouse.

The shirt had been big on him, so it was even bigger on the rodent, but it still failed to cover his boyhood, which Jake found himself staring at for a few moments. Alex wasn’t shy about his privates being exposed like his older counterpart still was, so nothing stopped the rabbit from taking in the sight of that little, pink-tipped sheath and the modest, fuzzy orbs that were squished up beneath it thanks to the boy’s thighs. He remembered having to touch that part of his friend when Omega was forcing him to molest the poor cub.

More bad memories flooded his mind and the buck turned away, staring at his food as he popped piece after piece into his mouth in a near steady stream. As predicted his happiness was only temporary and now he was starting to feel bad again. He wanted to enjoy this moment, alone with his only friend in this terrible place while they ate in the comfort of Omega’s office as opposed to Jake’s tiny cell, but unfortunately his traumatized brain had other, more pressing thoughts to focus on.

Namely, what was going to happen when Omega came back. He knew this freedom and indulgence wouldn’t last. Even if the vile wolf gave him a reprieve for the rest of the day, there was still tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. Just thinking about it was nerve-racking. He needed something to get his mind off these thoughts about the future, as they never led to anything good. So, while he was helping himself to the contents of the bowl, he tried to strike up some conversation with Alex.

“So… how’ve you… been?” he asked and immediately winced. In a place like this that was by far the worst question to ask. “I--I mean… n-n-nevermind… Th-that’s stupid to ask… Sorry.” Looking away with a blush, Jake’s attention then drifted to the food cart where the bottle of wine resided. He’d had some questions about it, and although Alex might not provide the most informative of answers, he voiced them anyway.

“That uhm… That stuff there,” he said, pointing to the bottle. “The… alcohol? W-why did the chef make you bring it? And… why did he want me to have it? Omeg--uhm… he didn’t... seem very happy about it.”

---

Alex froze as Jake asked him how he had been. Jake immediately withdrew that question. Outwardly he shook his head when Jake apologised for asking, but inwardly that question brought up some recent trauma for the rodent. Without Jake around, Omega’s attention was focused on Alex more. He dreaded having to bring food to Omega the past couple of days, because nearly every time he did, he had been molested, or raped without Jake nearby to sate any immediate urges.

Sure, Omega had other slaves to play with, and he did so, but ever since Jake’s first time in the hotel room, Omega’s attention was less on the rodent than before, or after Jake had been taken away by Sid. Jake had been so nice to him that he couldn’t possibly blame his friend for those horrible things Omega did to him, but a small part of him was glad that Omega had Jake back in his grasp, and that he, himself, wouldn’t be tormented as much anymore. He hated thinking about it that way, though, and it made him feel ashamed until Jake changed the subject.

Alex’s attention shifted to the wine glass on the tray. He had never tasted wine himself, either, and had no idea what the chef meant when he said that Jake probably needed it.

“I don’t know, but.. you know how Omega doesn’t.. like to... waste food…” Alex shuddered at that thought “I don’t know why he’s so annoyed about giving you the wine when he’s giving you all of this food anyway…”

Alex’s gaze was fixed on the glass of wine. With Jake raising the conversation about it, Alex was suddenly very curious.

“I know it’s made with grapes.. and adults in the restaurant ask for it a lot.. maybe it’s just really really good grape juice?”

Alex started to reach for the glass, stopping short, his curiosity so high, he had to sate it.

“Um.. I know it’s supposed to be only for you, but do you mind if I have just a little taste?”

With no objections, the mouse took the wine glass, hovering over it, nose twitching as he moved it closer to smell the liquid inside. He wrinkled his nose a bit at the strange smell.

“It doesn’t really smell like grape juice, but…”

Alex brought the glass to his lips, and took some of the liquid into his mouth. His eyes widened and he pulled the glass away, sealing his lips to avoid making a mess by spitting the vile stuff out. He tried to swallow it, but couldn’t bring himself to take in all of it, some slipping down his windpipe, causing him to cough up the remainder of the wine in his mouth, staining his white fur as he put the glass back on the tray, eyes watering from a coughing fit before finally managing to voice a strained observation.

“That doesn’t.. taste like.. grape juice at all!”

Alex began coughing again before finally clearing his throat of the burning intrusion.

“Bleh! Why do adults like that stuff so much?”

---

As Alex inadvertently brought up bad memories about the last time food had been wasted, both cubs were visibly perturbed; Jake more so as he’d been the object of Omega’s rage that time he’d vomited up his thoughtfully prepared meal. The mouse continued on, but the mention of their generous spread and why the wolf would’ve been so displeased in light of it, made Jake shrink inward on himself slightly. He knew the reason for Omega’s generosity, but he dreaded the thought of telling his friend. If he found out what the buck had done, there was a very likely chance Alex would be horrified and afraid of him again. That was the last thing he wanted.

For now, his friend seemed to have become distracted by the wine in question, so Jake wouldn’t have to divulge the secret to winning over Omega’s heart. If he even had one. The buck watched quietly as Alex eyed the glass, offering up what limited knowledge he had about the substance that was gripping their curiosity. Jake nodded slowly in response, but he wasn’t sure if his companion had it right. The rabbit remembered one time when he’d found an empty bottle of beer, and when he picked it up to smell the remnants of its contents he’d nearly vomited. Alcohol as he understood it both smelled and tasted awful.

He didn’t know if the same pertained to this drink Omega had referred to as wine, but clearly Alex was eager to try. The rodent was already reaching for the glass when he stopped himself short and asked permission to taste it. Jake made a face of uncertainty, as he wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, but he didn’t say no. Instead, he watched as the younger boy helped himself to the wine-glass and sniffed it.

Jake could see the mouse’s snout wrinkle at the bitter smell from where he sat, which made him wince instinctively. Despite his suggestion that perhaps it was just really tasty grape juice, Alex quickly determined that it didn’t smell at all like the fruit in question. Nonetheless, he was still willing to give it a taste and Jake leaned towards him as he brought to glass to his mouth and sipped.

The response to the awful taste was so sudden and startling, that Jake jerked backwards in surprise before he could even consider Alex’s wellbeing. He watched in fright as the mouse gagged and spluttered, trying not to make a mess as he replaced the glass on the tray and struggled with his mouthful of wine. Ultimately, Alex ended up losing the red-tinted fluid all over his naked front, staining his fur quite obviously. With growing concern, Jake leaned close again, snatching a napkin off the food cart to gingerly dab at the mess on his friend’s chest as he coughed and groaned in protest.

As willing to take Alex’s word on the unpleasant taste of the drink, which he clearly stated was nothing like grape juice at all, Jake’s own curiosity hadn’t been sated yet. As he eyed the dark red liquid in its oddly shaped glass, the mouse coughed some more and expressed his disbelief for grown-ups who liked the stuff. The buck wasn’t entirely convinced that it was bad though. Why would adults drink it all the time, if it was?

“M… maybe it’s like… an acquired taste,” Jake suggested. “I dunno, but… if it really tastes that bad, there must be some reason grown-ups like to drink it. Here…. L-let me try.”

Reaching out, the rabbit picked up the wine glass and held it close to his face to sniff it like Alex had. It had a very familiar, unpleasant smell, like the beer had. His curiosity drove him to take a chance though. If adults liked the stuff so much, it must make them happy. And with how miserable he was feeling right now, he desperately wanted to feel better. He didn’t take a big mouthful like his unfortunate friend had, though. Instead he stuck his tongue into the liquid and lapped up a small quantity.

Immediately Jake’s face scrunched up like he’d just bitten into a lemon. The alcohol tasted absolutely disgusting and it was already trying to trigger his gag reflex, but the buck tensed his muscles, breathed deeply through twitching nostrils and swallowed the awful substance. He gasped loudly the second his mouth was empty and coughed several times, a paw over his muzzle. After working his tongue around and resisting the urge to gag, he shuddered with revulsion.

“Ugh… It tastes like arm-pits,” he groaned. “Maybe we just… have to get used to it.” As he said this, Jake popped a fresh fruit into his mouth to clear his palette of the disgusting taste. “I mean… I’m sure the chef had a reason for giving it to me… right? He’s not… mean like Omega, is he?”

---

As Jake turned his attention to the glass of wine, Alex resumed Jake’s effort of wiping the red substance off of his chin and chest. There was still a hint of pink on his fur, but the rodent only knew that he didn’t feel the wetness anymore. He shrugged at Jake’s suggestion of it being an acquired taste. He didn’t know what that meant, other than adults seemed to say that about anything that just tasted bad.

He watched Jake take the glass, curious if his friend would have a different opinion of the stuff than he did, or if there was some reason adults liked the taste of it and not cubs. He was starting to think he didn’t want to be an adult if it meant he would start enjoying something as foul-tasting as this wine. Jake’s method was far more cautious, and Alex was starting to wish he had just tasted it with his own tongue instead of taking so much of it into his mouth.

Alex giggled at Jake’s assessment of the drink, taking a big gulp of cold juice to wash away the lingering taste. He shook his head as Jake seemed to believe it wouldn’t be so bad if they just got used to it.

“You can try to get used to it if you want. I’m not gonna drink anymore. Bleh!”

Alex resumed taking in the sustenance from the tray, although it took awhile for anything to taste the way it normally did without the lingering taste of alcohol on his tongue. Jake’s curiosity was soon directed at the chef he hadn’t met. Alex had to pause and think about that question for a moment. The chef wasn’t AS mean as Omega, but he couldn’t say that he wasn’t mean.

“Well, chef doesn’t hit me, or rape me, or anything, but he does yell a lot and calls me mean names. If I make just a small mistake he.. well, normally I get to make regular food for myself one day a week. The rest of the time, I eat that tasteless stuff they feed to the rest of the slaves. If I do something wrong, or say something chef doesn’t like, then I can’t make anything for myself that week. It’s hard not to make mistakes for a whole week, though, and if I make him mad more than once, he sometimes just sends me to Omega.”

---

The mouse’s refusal to try anymore of the alcohol was a little disheartening, but at the same time Jake was thinking ‘more for me’. If this stuff could make him happy, he might be able to forget about Omega and what he’d done to Canace. Though perhaps that might be attributing magical properties to the drink, his desperation encouraged consumption. He was already considering having another taste despite its vile flavor when Alex answered his question about the chef.

As Jake listened to the rodent describing the nameless chef’s personality, the cub found himself wincing in response to Alex’s mention of certain words. Hit. Rape. Mad. Omega. They sent chills up his spine. He was frowning by the time the boy finished. The chef didn’t sound like a nice person at all. Far from it. Though he was nowhere near as bad as the wolf. Still… if the man Alex had to deal with on a daily basis was so cruel, then why would he offer something that might get him into trouble with Omega? Jake concluded that it must be something valuable.

Despite his distrust and uncertainty, Jake had brought the wine glass to his lips without even realizing it, and was taking big, straining gulps of the liquid before he could stop himself. After the last gulp, he pulled away from the glass with a gasp and a revolted groan. His mouth and throat burned and tasted awful to the point of making his shudder visibly. The rabbit had ingested a third of the contents before coming to his senses, and now he was stuffing his mouth with fruit slices to put out the revolting fires in his maw.

He chewed and worked through the fresh produce for a solid fifteen seconds before he could swallow and take several deep breaths. The rabbit looked distressed and confused. His body had already begun tingling and his vision grew just a little fuzzier. He didn’t realize it until now, but his reaction had come almost entirely as a result of Alex’s mention of Omega, because it lead to a terrifying realization. That even if the wolf ever decided not to keep him for himself anymore, there was still a chance he’d be sent to him anyway.

Once he’d finally recovered, Jake looked to Alex with wide eyes, breathing heavily.

“He… he can do that?” he squeaked. “S-send you to Omega? Just like that? Hah… There’s no escaping him… is there?”

Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked away, a paw raising to wipe them.

“That stuff is awful, he groaned. “I s-shouldn’t have had any more…”

When he looked back at Alex, he was meeting the boy’s gaze as much as he could, concern on his face. He’d known whenever the poor mouse had been subject to Omega’s abuse while he was here, but after Sid ‘rescued’ him… Looking nervous, Jake asked softly, “W-what about the last two days? While I was… Omega, did he…?”

---

As Jake continued to force that vile liquid down his throat, Alex picked up a grape from the fruit bowl, giving it a sniff and then popping it into his mouth. Just as he had concluded before, the grapes and the wine tasted like two completely different things. He shook his head. It was such a puzzle to him, and he wondered what could possibly change something’s taste so drastically.

Alex turned to Jake with a puzzled expression as he seemed to be mildly joking about how Omega’s abuse seemed to be a part of Alex’s life no matter what he did. He was more confused than upset by Jake’s fake laugh, since he had never known Jake to talk about Omega with anything other than fear or anger.

It wasn’t long after that Jake looked as if he was beginning to cry. Alex could only look on and the cub’s mood shifted from being upset, to seemingly disgusted by the drink, and then Jake’s nervousness returned quickly. Already, Alex didn’t know how to respond, but then came a question that caught him off guard.

“Wh.. I… he was… I.. I mean I..”

Taken by surprise, Alex was stammering at first. His reaction was less towards the question itself, and more towards the fact that mere moments ago, Jake started to ask such a question to spark conversation and then immediately withdrew it. Jake’s behavior wasn’t what he was used to, but at the moment, he couldn’t think of a reason for it.

Still, he didn’t want to outright refuse to answer, but neither did he want to give any indication that Jake’s absence caused him more pain than usual, and his presence made it less so, and only because of Omega’s abuse being directed more at Jake.

“W-Well let’s not worry about Omega right now. It’s just us right now, and all this food, and maybe we can play some more of your games when he makes us go back into the cell, too.”

---

Staring at Alex with unusual intensity, the buck was clearly not falling for his friend’s attempt to avoid answering the question. If anything, his dodge was proof that not only had Omega been abusing the mouse while he played his cruel game with Jake, but the frequency of it was likely greater. Alex’s nervousness gave him away and the rabbit, rather than being angry or annoyed, was dripping with sympathy.

“H-h-he did, didn’t he?!” he cried, throwing his arms around the smaller mouse suddenly to wrap him in a firm, trembling embrace. “I knew it, I just knew it…” Jake sniffled and clung to Alex tightly. “I--I’m so sorry, Alex… I’m so so so sorry. It’s all my fault, you know. I… I bit Mister Omega that day, an’, an’... he got so mad. So mad that he threw me away. Sent me to… to B-2! It was so terrible! Th-there were these rats, and--and they wanted to burn off my toes!”

Jake had turned into a blubbering mess as he relayed events with increasing incoherence. “B-but i’was all a trick, Alex. A big, awful trick. A lie! It was all Omega. Sid--he was jus’an actor, not a real guard… He promised to take me home. Bu’none of’it was true! None!”

“Ev’ryone lies to me,” he whimpered, head pressed against Alex’s chest. The bowl of fruit sitting in the rabbit’s lap was on the verge of slipping free, but Jake didn’t notice or care. “Th-they lie, an’... they hurt me. And make me hu…” He stopped then and shifted gears noticeably. “But you won’lie. Right? I… I can trus’you. More’in anyone else. Th’only one. Jus’you...”

All of a sudden Jake seemed to be drifting off, but he still held Alex firmly, nuzzling against him gently as he sought comfort in the mouse’s physical company.

---

Alex only continued to look down at the food as Jake correctly assumed that Omega had been sating his lust with Alex while Jake was gone. A quick gasp escaped him as Jake clumsily pressed onto him for a hug, which Alex took a moment to return. Jake had become quite emotional, which in this place wasn’t such an uncommon thing, but he was blaming himself for all the bad things that happened while he was away, which was ridiculous to the mouse.

“Jake it.. It’s not your…”

Before he could finish, Jake went on to describe what had happened the day that he left. Alex hadn’t been given all the details, but he remembered the bandages that Omega had wrapped around his arm for awhile. Only now did he know that Jake was responsible. He didn’t know much about B-2 either, but when Jake mentioned the rats wanting to burn his toes off, Alex’s toes curled reflexively.

Alex gasped as he noticed the bowl of fruit edging closer to the floor, quickly wrapping a paw around Jake to grasp it before it fell, breathing a sigh of relief as he carefully placed the bowl back onto the tray. By this point, Jake’s outburst was making less sense the more he talked about what had happened to him, but Alex continued to return the hug, not knowing what else to do.

“Well I… I won’t lie to you, but.. I’m not the only one you can…”

Alex jumped as the office door opened up, and Omega stepped in, raising a brow as he eyed the situation and Jake’s condition. He walked over to the cubs and examined the wine glass after observing Jake’s strange behavior.

“Hmm, well I guess that wine didn’t go to waste after all. Well, we can’t have you drinking any more and vomiting all over the floor, can we?”

As Omega took the wine from the tray, only now did it start to make sense to Alex what was happening to Jake.

“He’s… drunk?”

Omega finished off the wine before answering as he set the now empty glass back on the tray.

“As drunk as a whipped skunk.”

---

Still latched onto Alex, Jake was practically sprawled across the couch now, forcing his friend to lean at an awkward angle just to support him. His arms had snaked around the mouse’s body and secured themselves, while the buck nestled himself against Alex’s exposed chest such that he was practically in the boy’s lap instead. The removal of the bowl in Jake’s own lap only made it easier for him to snuggle up to his companion, even though his crotch was now exposed.

During the rabbit’s dazed silence his emotional state shifted as the worst memories gave way to the joyful ignorance of his inebriation. He didn’t register Omega’s return initially like Alex did when the door opened. Instead, he smiled and closed his eyes as he was lulled into a sense of security by the sound of the mouse’s swift heartbeat and steady breathing.

Alex and Omega conversed for only a few seconds before the mouse reached the startling conclusion that Jake was indeed drunk. It hadn’t taken much either. Just a third of a glass had rendered the buck completely useless. But there was no doubt that he was considerably happier than usual.  A hiccup and a playful giggle followed the rodent’s question, and once Omega confirmed it, Jake suddenly reached up blindly with one paw to stroke his friend’s chest.

“Heeee, whip’skunk, whip’skunk,” Jake giggled before stopping abruptly like he’d just made himself sad. “Oh… I hope she got back t’Sid okay… Poor… poor Candace.” His attention was fleeting and no sooner had he addressed his passing concern for the skunk did he switch to something else.

“Mmm… heehee…! Y-you’re so soft an’warm, Alex,” he cooed. “I’m… s… so glad I can tr...ust you. You… you trust me too, right? I know, I... hurt you, but I didn’mean t--”

Jake paused abruptly as his head turned to see that the wolf had returned and of all the responses he could’ve conjured on the spot, he offered a most peculiar one.

“Mmmm...mister Omega… Hi,” he said, giggling spontaneously as he waved a paw aimlessly. The instinctive fear he normally had was presently being suppressed or at the very least disoriented and effectively nullified. He hadn’t caught that predatory scent yet, either. “I was jus’... I wan’ed to try the… the stuff. But I… think I had t’much…”

For a moment Jake stared emptily at Omega as his attention drifted elsewhere. He then suddenly forgot the wolf was even present and returned his gaze to Alex. Lurching upright, the buck grasped his friend by both shoulders and looked at him with a mixture of guilt and sympathy.

“W-wait, there’s… somethin’ I was… I was wan’ing t’say, Alex. Y’know… I… I’m real s-sorry f’hurting you, and… and I w--wanted to make it up t’you… S-so, I was… was thinking that mmmm… maybe… you should get t’do me back… so… so we’d be, uhm… even. R-right? I dunno… I jus’... feel so bad for what... Omega made me… made me do.”

Starting to look dizzy, Jake promptly dropped back into Alex’s lap, eyes closed as he nuzzled his cheek between the mouse’s closed thighs.

---

Jake’s reaction to Omega’s distasteful comment regarding the skunk that the cub had been coerced into whipping wasn’t what the wolf was hoping for, but he still found it amusing, particularly as Alex shifted with discomfort at Jake’s unbridled affection. What distressed Alex most were the memories flooding back as the chain attached to his ankle jingled, and Jake’s body was once again on top of him as it had been when his friend was forced to rape him.

Jake seemed to soon realize that the reference to the whipped skunk was indeed referring to Candice, but suddenly his attention shifted, commenting about how soft Alex was. Alex was deeply unnerved by this comment, as Omega had made plenty of lustful remarks about how soft he was in the past.

“J.. Jake..!”

Omega watched with growing amusement as Alex lightly pressed against Jake’s shoulders, trying to respectfully wedge his paws between himself and Jake before he finally noticed that Omega was in the room, looking down on the two awkwardly snuggling cubs on his couch. The amusement disappeared from his face, however, as Jake revealed that, due to his current state, he had not a shred of fear to offer. Omega sighed and shook his head.

“Damn that chef…”

Jake then grabbed Alex by the shoulders, causing him to wince as it almost seemed as if he were being restrained, which caused Omega to raise a brow. He was sure that Jake wasn’t trying to restrain Alex on purpose, but maybe Jake had just given him another idea on how to get past his defenses and convince him to breed. However, what Jake said next caused Alex and Omega to respond together in almost perfect sync.

“What?!”

Jake had just offered his own body as penance for his attack on Alex, however little choice he had in the matter. Alex was less than thrilled about the idea of raping his friend for ANY reason, and although the idea had crossed Omega’s mind before, to hear Jake make the offer so freely caught him completely by surprise. There just wasn’t as much fun to be had with the cub in this state.

“Alright, Jake, it’s time for a nap.”

The wolf stepped over to his desk, retrieving the key to the cubs’ shackles. He unlocked Alex’s shackle first, and to his immense relief, pried the clingy bunny from him before pulling the mouse away.

“Go back to the kitchen for now. When you come back with my lunch, you can spend the rest of the day with Jake.”

As Alex was ushered towards the door, he looked back with confusion. The mouse was completely confused over what had just happened, despite knowing that Jake’s actions were influenced rather heavily by the alcohol. Eventually, he left the room as he was told, hoping that Jake would be back to normal when he returned and he could play games with him like the last time he was in that cell with him.

Jake’s shackle was next, and Omega dragged the drunk cub across the floor, depositing Jake onto the mattress before closing the cell door, running a paw down his face as he returned to his desk, pressing his claw against the button on the intercom.

“Chef, don’t give my boy alcohol without my say-so anymore, alright?”

“What?! He actually drank it?!”

Omega threw his arms up in frustration as the chef began cackling loudly over the speaker.

“Wh.. If you didn’t think he would.. then why did you..?!”

Omega placed both paws over his face, shaking his head as more cackling came over the speaker, speaking to himself without sending through the intercom.

“DAMN you, chef…”

Omega sighed one more time as the speaker went silent, listening to the cub’s loud drunken ramblings behind the cell door, not responding at all. If he did use alcohol to aid the boy’s breeding progress, it would have to be a much smaller dose than what he had ingested from the glass.

---

“N… no, I don’wanna nap,” the bunny mumbled in response to Omega’s statement.

As if to reinforce his decision, Jake tried to hug Alex tighter while the wolf stepped away to retrieve the key. In his drunken state however, the boy was even less of a match than usual for the man, who unlocked the mouse’s shackle and pried the rabbit away from his friend before ushering the little chef on his way. The buck whined in protest, reaching after the rodent with grabby paws as he departed. Once again, though, his focus shifted and he swiftly accepted the change.

“Fine… bye-bye, Alex,” he said with a giggle and a poorly coordinated wave of his paw. “C-come back soon… okay?”

After Alex had left through the open office door, Jake’s shackle was removed next and without a word, Omega picked him up by his leg and dragged him towards his cell. The rabbit hardly put up a fuss except to tug on his outstretched leg as he slipped onto the floor and proceeded to slide across it. The sensation against his fur as he was dragged made him giggle and babble incoherently, but that all stopped when he was deposited onto the mattress and sealed in.

A few moments passed in a dazed stupor, but then the buck sat up abruptly and crawled over to the locked door. His movements were sluggish and awkward as he plopped himself down and leaned against the metal barrier, listening to the sounds beyond. Omega was conversing with his chef and the frustration was clear in his voice as he admonished the man for giving Jake alcohol, to which the wolf received a chorus of laughter over the intercom.

Leaning lazily against the door, Jake continued to listen until things went quiet, and then he began an unusual ritual of pawing at the metal surface.

“Mister Omega…?” he called drunkenly. “I’m still hungry… Can I have my food, please?”

When no response came, the buck railed on.

“Omeeega. Hello? My tummy’s empty. I wanna eat some more… an’... could have some more of that juice, too? It tastes awful, but… I really like it… Please? Mister Omega?”

Jake continued to repeat his complaints while scratching on the door for well over a minute before he suddenly fell quiet. Then, nearly thirty seconds later, the faint sounds of rustling and grunting squeaks emanated from his cell. As the alcohol had further permeated his little body, reaching optimal levels of absorption, a curious thing began to happen to the rabbit’s unique physiology.

Almost all of his higher functions had taken an immediate back-seat to his instincts which had been suppressed or just unable to adapt right away to the influx of alcohol. Suddenly the rabbit had gone completely feral and was fuzzing around with his bedding. In his efforts he even used his incisors to work the blanket around more than his own two paws.

In no time at all, Jake had made a mountain of his bedsheet and began to straddle it. His natural libido took over from there and the little rabbit began humping the lump of fabric like it was a mate. He wasn’t playing either. The eager, rapid thrusting of his naked hips was accompanied by a growing arousal between his legs. Jake with pumping his soft but steadily stiffening penis against the scratchy fabric, grunting and squeaking as he huddled his entire body over the balled up blanket.

---

Annoyed with Jake and the chef, Omega ignored Jake’s pleas for his food. He would be given the food later, once Alex returned. No doubt, the chef would be asking Alex a bunch of uncomfortable questions about what effect the alcohol had on Jake. While this thought had some level of intrigue for the wolf, overall, he was still just annoyed. Omega’s efforts now shifted to going over reports from his staff on both the underground and overworld halves of his hotel.

He figured Jake would eventually fall asleep until lunch, but his attention was quickly drawn by some rather curious sounds. Squeaks and grunts, as well as some rhythmic bouncing could be heard from the other side of the cell door. Omega stood from his chair, moving to the small slit in Jake’s cell. When he peeked inside, all of his distaste for the situation vanished in an instant.

Omega looked on with interest for a moment as he watched Jake mindlessly hump the pile of blankets he had positioned on the mattress. Not only was the sight just adorable, and brought a twinge of excitement into the wolf’s slacks, but this seemed to confirm his earlier hypothesis--that giving the boy alcohol could greatly aid in his training, and if needed, it could be a last resort to forcing him to breed, should the training not go well.

Omega snapped his finger to punctuate this revelation, waving his finger aimlessly in the air as he returned to his desk.

“That’s the key..”

Hours passed, Omega continuing his work in silence while listening to the cute grunts and squeaks coming from Jake’s cell during his moment of lust. He almost wished he had let Alex stay trapped with this new side of Jake in his cell rather than sending him back to the kitchen, although it was probably best that Jake didn’t turn his alcohol-induced lust towards Alex, else it might become more difficult to get Jake to ingest the stuff willingly after realizing he had raped his friend yet again. More time together later, along with a little more added trauma would smooth over any mistrust Jake had already caused before Alex was sent away.

Finally, lunch time arrived. Alex knocked eagerly on the office door, wanting to join Jake in his cell and continue playing on those handheld devices he had experienced for the first time before Jake had been sent away. Omega stood from his desk as he commanded Alex to enter, still wearing the shirt that Jake had given him.

As Alex wheeled the tray into the room, a paw on his shoulder stopped him, and his eyes widened as Omega knelt behind him. This couldn’t possibly be a good thing.

“I think you’ve had that shirt long enough. Let’s get it off of you.”

Alex tried to move away from Omega’s grasp, but a paw slapped against his chest, pulling the mouse’s soft body back against that of the larger wolf with a thump, squirming as Omega groaned and slipped a paw underneath the shirt to slide up to the boy’s fluffy chest, slowly working the shirt up, exposing the rest of Alex’s white body.

“N.. No! NO!”

Heavy thumps could be heard from Jake’s cell as Alex grunted and struggled to free himself, but soon stopped, frantic breaths from the young cub giving way to screams. Omega had plans for Jake’s development tomorrow, and raping Alex right outside the cell door was as much about putting that plan into motion as it was getting a good fuck from a cute little cock warmer. This of course didn’t stop the wolf from enjoying every moment of those frantic screams as he began to rape the little mouse.

The mouse’s little hole had been ravaged for longer than Jake’s, so the wolf was able to force his knot inside and begin fucking Alex with the base of his shaft without causing too much damage to the tight, but accustomed entrance. Alex’s screams were broken up along with the sound of the wolf’s hips slapping against the rump of the younger cub, screaming, flailing against the floor and sobbing pleas towards the cruel slaver.

Finally, after what seemed like endless torment, the slaps gave way to the telltale groans of the wolf’s orgasm. Alex’s sobbing was nonstop, broken only by another scream as Omega pulled his knot free. For a few minutes afterwards, Alex’s sobbing was the only sound coming from the other side of the door.

Eventually, the cell door opened, the wolf shoving the mouse inside with a stumble, then pushing in the cart of food the boys had been munching on earlier in the day. After the cell door closed, Alex slowly slid down the metal surface, curling into a ball and hiding his face in his arms, his body shaking as he cried into them from the wolf’s cruel indulgence, traces of semen and blood leaking out onto the floor below him.

---

During the height of Jake’s mindless sexual arousal, the buck was completely oblivious to Omega’s observation as he continuously humped his make-shift mate, pausing several times only to adjust its shape whenever his frantic thrusting caused it to collapse. The unusually frisky rabbit would eventually climax into the bundle of fabric, staining it with his meager quantity of spunk not just once, but numerous times over the course of the next few hours.

Every time he finished, he emulated his feral ancestors almost perfectly, jumping with his orgasm and flopping onto his side with his little, immature erection twitching and softening before he could right himself, circle the blanket a couple times and then go for another round. Eventually though, the alcohol ran it’s course and, come noon, the buck had settled in and fallen asleep, curled up and hugging his blanket tightly. His erection was gone, but his loins were messy with half-dried ejaculate, as was the the blanket.

When he next awoke, it was to the shrill cry of his friend, Alex, who had returned with Omega’s lunch and was immediately press-ganged into another round of sexual abuse. Jake returned to consciousness with a sharp jerk of his limbs as the screams reached his ears. Lurching upright, the buck immediately gasped in pain and clutched at his throbbing head. His memory was fuzzy and he remembered almost nothing following his decision to chug the wine.

Sober and suffering a hangover, Jake groaned, wrapped up in his own agony for a few moments before another pained squeal drew his attention. He recognized it immediately as Alex and threw himself forward, tossing his blanket aside as he collided with his cell door and banged on it frantically. The sounds emanating from behind it were all too familiar to Jake. He knew exactly what was going on and already his heart was aching for the poor mouse who was being subjected to the horrific torment Omega had to offer. The sympathetic rabbit couldn’t help but assault the door with his paws, pleading for the wolf to stop.

“No! Leave him alone! Please!” he cried, scratching at the steel barrier in a panic. “S-stop! Stop hurting him! Omega, please!”

Minutes passed agonizingly slow for both Jake and Alex as the buck wailed on his cell door and the mouse offered up only spine-chilling shrieks of pain and horror. The emotional impact of listening to his friend endure such agony was almost as terrible as if Jake himself were being subjected to that abuse. His friend’s cries rang in his ears and there was nothing he could do to stop it, as his endless pleas fell on deaf ears.

It was only when Omega reached his climax that the repetitive slapping, and Alex’s accompanying despair began to slow and eventually stop. Only a final cry from the mouse signaled the end of his torment and the steady sound of sobbing followed. Jake was pressed against the door, both paws resting to either side of his head as he leaned on it, staring down at the growing pool of his own tears.

He’d been so rudely awakened by the sound of Alex’s tortured screams that any happiness he might’ve gleaned from the alcohol had long since been forgotten. Now all he could think about was the mouse and the pain he’d suffered. Jake stayed in his present position for a while longer until he heard the sound of the door rattling in preparation to being opened.

Frightened to his core that he might be next, Jake lurched backwards and scampered across the floor to distance himself as the door suddenly swung open. He fully expected to see Omega there, naked and aroused, with malicious intent to pin the trembling rabbit to the floor and subject him to a similar fate. Instead, however, he saw Alex, completely naked and crying as he was pushed into the room along with the food cart and then locked in.

Jake watched Alex with obvious concern but he was afraid to approach at first. The mouse eventually slid down the door to sit on the floor and curl up in a ball of misery. He didn’t stop crying, and though the rabbit understood why, the reason was made all the more real when he saw the traces of blood and semen leaking over the rodent’s tail between his spread ankles.

Shuddering audibly, the buck whined with intense empathy and spent the next minute or more working up the courage to approach his freshly abused friend. He wanted so much to comfort the mouse, but he was worried the boy might still be afraid of him, especially following such a recent trauma. Jake had to try, though, so he scooted closer bit and bit, eyes wet with compassion. Once he was close enough, he settled in beside Alex and gingerly wrapped his paws around the trembling little mouse.

“I--I’m so sorry,” he whimpered softly, holding the boy close as he nuzzled the distressed cub’s cheek. “I’m sorry… sorry he keeps hurting you b-b-because of me… W-will you be okay? We’re alone now. Um… w-w-we could play some games. Or m-maybe have a snack… t-to take your mind off the… the… the pain. W-would you like that?”

Feeling an overwhelming sense of desire to ease the mouse’s steady stream of tears, Jake, despite his usually timid nature began to gently lick Alex’s cheek, both to clean it of the salty tears and hopefully sooth his emotional turmoil. He hated to see someone else in pain almost as much as he hated having it inflicted upon himself. But with Alex, there was something that made it more unbearable. Perhaps it was the fact the rodent was a whole year younger than him, or the fact he’d come from a broken family who had essentially sold him into slavery.

To Jake, Alex was so much more alone. He literally had no one. His birth parents ditched him, and as far as he knew, the boy had no siblings or relatives who would care to go looking for him. He was a forgotten cub, and that must’ve hurt more than all the physical abuse in the world. The rabbit clung to his unfortunate companion, sharing in his grief for as long as it would take for him to recover from his most recent rape at the paws of Omega.

---

Alex didn’t react at first to Jake’s gentle touch, just crying into his arms as his friend tried to comfort him. After a brief moment, though, he registered Jake’s presence, and was glad that Jake wasn’t falling all over him like before, but instead offering support and compassion. Alex wrapped his arms around Jake as the buck continued to comfort him, sniffling and hiccupping as he addressed one guilty statement by the rabbit.

“He.. He’s been hurting me since.. b-before you were ever brought here. It’s not your fault he’s a mean jerk.”

Alex continued to cry softly against Jake’s shoulder, his insides throbbing from the recent assault.

“At.. At least.. b-before you were here.. nobody in the k-kitchen would ever try to make me feel (hic) better after.. S-Sometimes the other slaves in my cell would, but.. most of the time.. I always had to go straight back to the kitchen and work.”

Alex cried for a while longer as he and Jake held each other against the cell door, but eventually, the pain subsided, and the boy’s grief started to give way, wiping the tears from his eyes with a sniffle. He slowly stood to his feet, sniffling lightly as he approached the tray and took the bottle of juice. It was warmed up by now, but he was a little thirsty and his throat was sore from the crying.

Alex poured himself a cup, and then moved over to the more comfortable mattress. He gasped lightly as a cold string of semen touched his tail, but not knowing what it was at first, he wiped his tail onto the corner of the mattress and started to chug the juice, wanting to get that soreness out of his throat.

The cup was empty before the mouse took it away from his lips. He had finally stopped crying, ready to enjoy his friend’s company with good food and fun games.

“Thanks, Jake.”

---

As grateful as Jake was for Alex’s reassurance that it wasn’t his fault, that Omega had been picking on him before the buck even arrived, he still couldn’t help but wilt guiltily. The wolf may have been abusing the rodent on a regular basis initially, but Jake still couldn’t help but feel like it had only gotten worse since he’d shown up. Especially considering that Omega had the boy be the one who wheeled away Samantha’s corpse so he could then later use that against him when he decided to make him the rabbit’s personal chef.

He suspected that Alex may have only been cursed with Omega’s presence on occasions where the chef had marched him up here, but now that he had to make that trip every single day, the frequency must’ve increased significantly. So in a way, Jake was responsible for every additional session of abuse the poor mouse had to endure, and that made him feel absolutely terrible.

Alex continued to express his misery with steady stream of tears and sniffling sobs, but Jake stayed by him religiously. He wanted to be there to comfort him, dry his tears and make him feel better. And according to the mouse himself, other slaves were known to do the same thing, but to Jake’s dismay, Alex also stated that more often than not he’d have to return to work without any cuddling or reassurance, moving around busily while his backside ached and dribbled fluids that weren’t his own.

Just imagining such an awful routine made Jake shiver against the little rodent, but he tried to hide his distress internally. True to his own principles and personal promise, he stayed by Alex’s side, hugging the boy firmly and consolingly until his tears dried and his sobbing ceased. It took some time, but the buck waited, almost falling back to sleep before he felt the mouse stir. Loosening his embrace, Jake leaned aside as Alex worked himself to his feet and moved further into the room to grab a bottle of juice from the cart.

Jake watched sympathetically and just a little worriedly as he eyed those twitching hips and the tail between them swaying awkwardly with the memory of pain. His gaze couldn’t help but drift lower to the mottled and messy stains that marred Alex’s backside. Still mostly wet, there were long trails of red reaching down the backs of his thighs and the base of his tail was a matted disgrace as well. That image suddenly reminded Jake of his own recent abuse and he found himself sitting up to reach around behind him to prod his fingers carefully against the irritated flesh beneath his own fluffy tail.

When he brought his paw up to inspect it, it was mostly clean, but he knew full well that his fur was still a mess. He hadn’t gotten a chance to clean up after Sid raped him over the very couch he’d slept on the night before. Blood still decorated his anus, dry now, and his fur was matted and distorted by the dried semen that lingered there as well. He could feel it pulling at his fur whenever he moved a certain way. It was both uncomfortable and an unpleasant reminder of how quickly events had taken a turn for the worst.

So naturally he didn’t like the sight of Alex with the bottle in his paws, pouring a drink, while his exposed backside showed the obvious trauma he’d undergone. Already the buck was swelling with empathy again and as the little mouse moved to the mattress to sit with his glass of juice, it was joined by a bit of selfishness as his friend had no qualms about resting his messy backside on Jake’s already foul, fluid-stained accommodations.

Following after the mouse, Jake moved to the food cart and searched it for some napkins, scooping up a handful when he found them. By now Alex had sat down, uttering a surprised squeak that resulted in him wiping his tail on the edge of the rabbit’s mattress. Jake frowned at that. It was bad enough he had to sleep on the remnants of his own blood without Alex adding to it.

Jake moved closer to his friend as he was thanked for his compassion. The rabbit stopped pretty suddenly then and blushed, looking away for a moment.

“I--It was nothing, Alex, y-y’know? I’m sure… that y-you’d do the same for me. I mean we…” he paused to sigh. “We’re… all in this together, I guess… right?”

The buck looked sad for a moment, gaze lowered and paws fidgeting with the napkins before he shook his head abruptly and forced a small smile.

“A-a-anyway, uhm… here,” he said, nervously offering some of the napkins. “Y-you might wanna… clean up before it dries… I--It gets pretty uncomfortable, and… he made a… a really big mess.”

Waiting with barely contained patience for the mouse to accept his proposal, Jake then immediately spun around and moved back to the door of his cell with the rest of the napkins. Once there, he used them to clean up the pool of fluids Alex had left behind with an intensity for cleanliness borne of his psychological damage. Everything around him felt dirty now, and he had little to no control over it. So what small differences he could make were huge to him, and besides that, the sight of blood and semen was offensive to him now, because just looking at it was dredging up awful memories he’d rather not revisit.

---

Alex smiled as Jake reminded him that they were all in it together.

“Yeah, yeah, you’re right. We all are. I mean the only reason the slaves in the kitchen didn’t help me was because chef doesn’t allow us to talk to each other or anything, but I think they would have if they could.”

Afterwards, Jake had brought Alex some napkins and suggested that he clean up. It took Alex a moment to comprehend what Jake meant, but then he gasped and shot up from the mattress, looking down at the splotch of blood and semen he had left on the part of the mattress where he had been sitting.

“I.. I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to, I.. I’ll sleep on this side tonight!”

Frantically, Alex started scrubbing the napkin onto the mattress to clean up the fluids from his recent abuse before realizing that wasn’t what Jake was referring to.

“Oh, right, you meant..”

Alex gave a slightly fake smile before going to the toilet to drop the used napkin inside, and proceeded to wipe the still wet blood and semen from his leg, and clenched his teeth as he wiped along his sore hole. It took awhile, as every time he wiped that area, he would squeeze just a little more out, but eventually he got as much of it wiped up as he could, and flushed the blood and semen stained napkins down the toilet.

With that done, eventually the cubs could try to forget about what happened, and enjoy the remainder of the feast that they couldn’t hope to finish in one sitting. What was particularly nice about the whole thing for Alex was that the two of them could eat whenever they felt like it, not just at predetermined times throughout the day as before. The rest of the time, Alex enjoyed his time playing on the game machine that Omega had placed in the cell specifically for the nights that the mouse was able to spend with Jake.

By the time night had fallen on the surface, and Omega had been gone for several hours, most of the food had been eaten, but not all. It was indeed a feast. Alex, with his full belly, wanted so badly to stay up and play games some more with Jake, but he found himself nodding off and not making any progress, so he shut down the device, and pulled the blanket over, arranging a corner of it into a makeshift pillow, fast asleep as soon as his head touched down.

The next morning, as Omega entered his office, he went straight for the cell door, eager to get started with Jake today. Doctor Aero had requested a semen sample from Jake, and Omega was eager to make this day as unpleasant as possible for the little buck, even if it meant making it unpleasant for himself as well. He was prepared for it, and the terrified look on Jake’s face from the things the wolf had planned would probably make it all worth it.

The cell door creaked open and Omega clapped his paws together to wake the cubs, had they not already been set on alert by the simple act of opening the cell door.

“Alright boys! Up! Up! Up! Gotta get you two cleaned up and ready for the day. Oh, and Jake, Doctor Aero wants to see you. I think he missed you.”

Omega winked at Jake, giving a knowing chuckle before clapping his paws together again.

“Come on, let’s get to it, unless you’d rather find out what other punishment methods we have available! You gonna walk by yourself this time, Jake, or would you rather I carry you again?”

---

Following Jake's obsessive cleaning spell by the door to his cell, he offered his friend a few reassuring words regarding the small mess he'd made while Alex cleaned his nethers properly over by the toilet. The rabbit was feeling physically and emotionally exhausted by the time he was done, and to make things worse his headache hadn't completely gone away. He couldn't bring himself to sleep for a good long while though, as basic needs took priority. And with all the stress he'd been enduring, hunger was at the top of that list.

Before joining Alex on the mattress to indulge in their impressive spread, Jake deposited the soiled napkins in the toilet as well and flushed them away. From then on, both cubs helped to distract each other with video-games and food; quite successfully, too. The pair were even able to smile and laugh once in awhile and for at least a short time, their worries and fears were forgotten in favor of companionship and entertainment.

Thanks to the steady supply of food, by the time his friend had grown drowsy enough to turn in, Jake was finally beginning to look almost as healthy as he had when he first arrived. There were noticeable differences naturally, like the obvious, irritated skin around his eyes from crying, his matted and dirty fur in various places all over his body, the faintest hints of lingering musk that was not his own, and of course, his still tender rump.

The most telling aspect of his recovery was the return of his skin's regular pink hue, most noticeable on the naked flesh of his inner ears, but internally, his red-blood cell count had begun to grow again as well to replace what had been lost over the last several days, his organs resumed normal function and he no longer felt fatigued and weak. He didn’t know it, but his meager sperm count had likely improved again as well.

With Alex fallen to sleep the instant he’d laid his head down on Jake’s bundled up blanket, the rabbit found himself spending another two hours wide awake before he too could join the mouse. He spent much of his remaining time eating while he alternated sitting in reflection and playing on his Veeta. Eventually though he succumbed to exhaustion and, failing to pry his blanket out from under Alex’s head without waking him, the buck groaned inwardly and shrugged, opting to curl up like a feral dog in the remaining space on his mattress.

Once he’d settled in, the buck drifted off gradually--right into a sea of nightmares which tormented and hounded him all night long. One after another, they crashed upon the shore of his subconscious, frightening images of Omega in his fictional, exaggeratedly demonic form as he chased, caught, hurt and punished him in a nearly endless cycle. It was only an hour before their unfortunate wake-up call that Jake had really reached the depths of his slumber and fallen still.

By morning he was so out of it that he barely stirred when the cell door opened, though Alex nearby was roused quite readily. It wasn’t until Omega clapped his paws together and loudly announced for both cubs to get up that Jake jerked awake with a shrill gasp. He lurched upright, spotted the wolf and immediately panicked, scrambling backwards into the rodent as he whimpered.

The wolf was unusually upbeat as he eagerly addressed the cubs, reminding them that they had a cold hosing to look forward to. What was most horrifying though was Omega’s comment to Jake about Doctor Aero. As mean as the dolphin was he couldn’t imagine the man ‘missing’ him in a manner that didn’t involve the infliction of pain, discomfort and humiliation. So the promise of a visit today was the last thing he wanted to hear.

He didn’t exactly have a choice though. Omega clapped his paws together again, making Jake jump, and then he offered a blatant threat to get the two moving. To end his startling wake-up call, the wolf focused on Jake and gave him the option between walking for once, or being carried around like a sack of potatoes again. The buck winced in response and shook his head.

“I--I can walk…” he mumbled, dropping his gaze. His hackles had already risen again and the calm and peace of last night vanished from his list of good memories. “I want to walk…”

As if to prove it, Jake rocked himself forward onto his hands and knees and eased himself to his feet, still keeping his profile small and defensive as he gingerly moved towards the open door. Omega had stepped aside to permit him passage, and though he didn’t directly taunt him as he passed, the rabbit couldn’t help throwing himself through the doorway to get past the man as quickly as possible. The last thing he wanted was to start his morning with an unwelcome groping from his rapist.

Padding out into Omega’s office, Jake came to a stop and turned around, both paws hugging his chest rather than trying to obscure his genitals. Normally he would have, but common decency was no longer at the front of his mind now. His attention was instead directed to what horrible plans the wolf had for him.

“D-d-do I have to… see the doctor?” he whined softly, watching Alex follow his lead and exit the room. He too moved extra quick to escape the wolf’s reach. “He--he’s really mean.”

---

Omega smirked as Jake elected to walk instead of being carried. He watched the bunny and the mouse both try to slip by him quickly, one after the other. Omega opened his office door and was about to usher the two cubs out into the hall when Jake spoke up, understandably concerned about his trip to the doctor. Aero still hadn’t let go of his grudge against the boy, but Omega approached Jake, kneeling down to him, keeping hold of his wrist so he couldn’t back away, to whisper into Jake’s ear a much worse alternative. He whispered low enough that Alex couldn’t hear him.

“Now Jake, I’m not going to waste too much time forcing you to go. However, if you give me too much trouble over this, Alex and I will just have to have some fun in the washroom without you. Aero is looking forward to seeing you again, Jake, and if he doesn’t get the chance, I feel I might have to make it up to him with a..” Omega very slowly and subtly turned Jake’s head towards Alex to emphasize his point. “...rodent dinner tonight.”

With the threat issued, Omega gave Jake a couple of pats on the arm, then ushered the two cubs out of the room.

“You know the way. Let’s go.”

Omega followed the two cubs through the hallway towards the public elevator that would take them down to the basement. While in the elevator, Alex watched Jake’s expression, not sure if he wanted to know what Omega was whispering to him, but the grim look on Jake’s face told him that it couldn’t have been anything remotely in the realm of pleasant conversation.

The elevator opened into the corridors of B-1. Omega followed close behind the two cubs, giving each of them a quick, unfriendly tap to the back of the head if he felt they weren’t walking fast enough. Alex didn’t like how eager Omega was to get them to the clinic, and he was certain Jake felt the same way.

The moment Omega brought the two cubs into the clinic, he waved over one of the guards, a tall lion, and he and Omega wasted no time forcing Jake onto one of the examination tables. The commotion drew the attention of the dolphin, who grinned slightly as he was greeted with the sight of Jake being strapped forcefully onto the table, his limbs quickly secured to each of the corners before they turned their attention to Alex.

Alex squealed and froze as the two large predators grabbed him, and shoved him down onto another nearby table, securing his straps in the same way. While Alex was being secured, Aero tapped Catherine on the shoulder and signaled her to follow him towards Jake. The woman’s ears folded back. Omega had brought Jake here personally, so she knew something was going to happen that she didn’t want to be a part of.

---

Watching with quivering knees as Omega approached him, Jake remained frozen with fear long enough for the predator to get close the distance such that a predictable retreat was easily thwarted by a grip on his small wrist. The buck squeaked in growing terror as the wolf crouched down to his level and brought his muzzle packed with sharp, carnivorous teeth so close to his trembling ear that the very heat of his breath caused him to jerk the majority of it out of reach for fear Omega might take another bite out of him.

Instead however, the man whispered low and ominously to him as he stated bluntly that he wasn't going to entertain Jake's usual notions. And to prove that, he blatantly threatened him not with physical pain to his own person, but something arguably much worse. The buck's head was turned against his will, ever so slightly, to face Alex as Omega callously implied that if the rabbit made too much of a fuss that his only friend since Samantha's demise, would share in her fate.

A small, shuddering gasp escaped the cub, every muscle in his body rigid with terror by the time Omega released him. Jake whimpered and jerked away from the man, trembling and hugging himself as he shivered on the spot. He couldn't imagine losing Alex now. Not after what happened to Samantha. He... He didn't deserve something so awful. No one deserved to go out that way, in fact; except maybe for Omega himself, as the perpetrator of such horrifying crimes.

Following Omega's terse threat, Jake was left speechless, allowing the wolf to coax both cubs into scurrying ahead of him and essentially leading the way to the basement clinic. Aside from the word of caution regarding his tendency towards outbursts, Jake was gripped by the fear of returning to Doctor Aero, the man who could easily match Omega cruelty for cruelty. In fact, for a doctor, he behaved more like a glorified butcher, which worried the rabbit deeply. He wished he'd never incurred the man's wrath on that first day with his mindless, uncontrollable terror.

By the time they reached the elevator and the doors closed to descend, Jake was lost in his own world of fears and insecurities. He knew where they were going, but not why. What did Aero want with him? Why did he ask for him specifically? Naturally, the rabbit's first assumption was that he planned to shove more things up his aching backside, which just thinking about caused his little sphincter to flex against that uncomfortable memory. However, Omega had never accompanied him this far for what equated to a menial task by his captor.

So it had to be something else. And not knowing what was making Jake very nervous. He didn’t even acknowledge Alex staring at him as the elevator continued downward to its final destination. His focus was instead on the floor between his feet, and keeping his eyes free of tears trying to form as his concern grew with each passing second.

The ding of the elevator when it finally announced their arrival, caused the wound up buck to jump in fright before he was prodded into moving forward again. As they drew closer to the clinic, Jake’s movements became more and more hesitant. He was trying to stay ahead of Omega’s swift stride, but at the same he desperately desired to prolong their trip. Uncertainty had him eventually tripping over his own feet, leading to harsh and insistent flicks to the back of his head and ears to spur him forward again.

When they finally did reach Doctor Aero’s domain, Jake had resorted to clinging to his friend Alex, both as a source of comfort and encouragement to keep moving at a fair clip. As they entered however, the buck dared to release the mouse. Omega had called over a guard though, a massive lion that rivaled the wolf in size and ferocity. The sight alone as he approached made the rabbit back up several steps until he encountered a solid wall in the form of Omega.

A shrill cry escaped the rabbit as he was promptly lifted off the floor and forced onto one of the familiar tables, just as a cold and unyielding as he remembered. Jake was trembling and struggling with his aggressors as they manhandled his limbs into the table’s cuffs, but he was considerably easier to handle now than he had been on his first day. Most likely, it was due to Omega’s threat. Once he was restrained though, his panic continued to rise unchecked. He tugged feverishly at his shackles, watching with wide-eyed fear as Omega and the lion proceeded to strap Alex down to a table as well.

Omega wasn’t wasting any time today, and somehow that scared Jake more than anything else. There was an eagerness and impatience to the wolf’s actions. He was waiting for something, and the fact he had yet to depart after securing the mouse meant that he planned to be present for it.

With a low, continuous whine, Jake struggled to pinch his legs together around his exposed groin while he tugged periodically at his restraints and observed the unnerving scene before him. He spotted the odd-looking dolphin almost immediately, and the look in that creature’s face gave him chills. Nearby was the fox lady he remembered from before. Aero casually tapped her on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him. When the pair started moving, their first stop had them walking in Jake’s direction, which automatically made his fearful struggling intensify.

---

Omega grinned widely as Jake’s terror escalated quickly. Omega knew what the doctor had in mind and approved of his methods whole-heartedly. It wasn’t something he usually took interest in, but because it was Jake--because of his condition, the wolf would find this little exercise quite entertaining.

As Aero approached, he instructed one of the other slaves, a male feline teen, to give Alex a quick checkup, then wheel him back to the washroom. Once the two approached Jake, Aero was immediately ready to get started, as this “procedure” might take a little time.

“Welcome back, Jake. I’ve been told that your little peen had been producing quite a lot more semen than is natural for your age, as it’s been observed.” Aero punctuated this knowledge by flicking Jake’s sheath twice, for no other reason than to cause the boy discomfort. “I think we need to start testing your seed every now and then to see if you’re capable of producing offspring. Catherine, will you kindly collect the sample for us?”

“Wh.. Me? But… you know how he reacts to predatory species… what about feet? I’m sure he would be a better--”

“We’re not debating this, Catherine. You will collect the sample, am I clear?”

Catherine cast a sympathetic glance to Jake before slowly nodding.

“Don’t worry, Jake. I’ll get you a towel to put over your eyes and then what I’ll do is..”

“No towels.”

“What? Why?!”

Doctor Aero leaned in close to Catherine, speaking much more slowly and insistently.

“No… towels…”

Catherine was still confused. She knew Aero had a grudge against the boy, but he usually elected to hide it from Jake in some way, using some medical excuse to justify making the boy less comfortable or sometimes torture him as much as he could get away with, despite knowing that Jake had already figured out Aero’s little game. This time it was blatant, that is, until Omega decided to clear up the confusion himself.

“Those were my instructions, Catherine. You’re to take the sample where Jake can see you.”

“But..!”

“Unless of course you’d rather we extract his semen with a needle.”

As Omega said that, nearly every male in the room, even Doctor Aero, instinctively pressed their legs together in sympathetic pain. Catherine sighed in defeat. It seemed that Aero and Omega were doing everything they could to keep her from making the situation any better for Jake at all.

“I’m sorry, Jake.. I have to do it.”

Catherine approached the table, tilting it forward slightly, but not too much that Jake would be hanging from the straps. In one final effort to make the situation more bearable, she reached for one of the straps so that she could free Jake’s limbs, but Omega stopped her yet again.

“Ah, you don’t want to be doing that, even if I were to allow it.”

Catherine’s ears folded back, and she moved her paws away from the strap, pacing back and forth in front of Jake’s table, trying to come up with a way to explain what she was about to do in a way that didn’t upset Jake too much.

“Okay Jake.. I’m going to have to touch your penis.. a lot.. I know it’s going to be stressful for you, but.. try to stay calm and relaxed as much as you can. If you just… let it happen.. It might even feel good.”

---

With all of his limbs fastened in place, there was little Jake could do but observe with increasing terror as the people around him gathered closer. At his feet, with an unrestricted view of his shamefully exposed body was Doctor Aero and Catherine, the nice, but inherently frightening vixen. To one side was Omega, grinning widely and encouraging chills to tickle Jake's spine as he continued to writhe against the table. All eyes seemed to be on him, forcing the buck's fearful attention forward. He barely even noticed the feline who had been sent to deal with Alex nearby, but he could hear the sounds of mutual distress as the boy was examined.

Alex was far more used to such a procedure than Jake, though, who’s experience thus far hadn’t given him any reason to cooperate whatsoever. And it seemed today would be no different, despite Omega’s prior threat. As the buck tugged repeatedly at the straps binding his wrists and ankles, he met Doctor Aero’s frightening gaze as he welcomed him back. The rabbit could only offer a worried whimper in response to what the dolphin had to say next, especially in regards to Jake’s nether region. The flicks to his sheath made him jump and wince, his muscles tensing until they began trembling.

The good doctor was talking about his ‘seed’ and no sooner had he explained that he was going to be tested, the dolphin turned control over to Catherine, whom he instructed to acquire a ‘sample’. That word alone caused the rabbit to whine loudly in protest. He automatically assumed that a sample would be obtained via a needle, and despite his week of torment so far, his fear of them hadn’t been diminished in the least. Perhaps Omega was aware, because the boy’s response only seemed to amuse him more.

What made this whole situation worse, and it was likely Omega was conscious of this as well, was that Catherine, a fox and Jake’s number one most feared predator, would be performing the procedure. No one needed to guess how the rabbit was going to respond to that knowledge. His struggling became more violent, and though his efforts were clearly getting him nowhere, Jake’s instinctual response had begun to kick in.

Jake barely heard the conversation between Aero and Catherine in which the woman protested the doctor’s decision to pick her for the task. All the buck could do was stare with wide-eyed terror at the fox, unable to take his eyes off her. So he had no trouble seeing the sympathetic look on her face when she conceded to the dolphin’s order. He was also fortunate to hear her address him with the promise of covering his face, something which would’ve helped to ease his growing tensions considerably, but ultimately was just a band-aid solution.

However, no sooner had the assurance left her mouth did Doctor Aero deny her that option. Only then did Jake’s gaze flicker towards the dolphin for just a moment. He was shocked; mortified. And Catherine seemed to be as well. She immediately questioned the decision, but Aero simply repeated himself pointedly. Something was different about the man, but Jake didn’t have the mental faculties available to invest in figuring out what it was. All he could see was a vile physician who was being even crueler than usual.

With the refusal to give him something to filter some of the terror coming his way, Jake’s panic only continued to escalate. His wrists and ankles had already begun to bruise and chafe considerably as his predicament only had increasingly worse news to offer. Catherine was clearly conflicted, but before she could voice any further concerns, Omega spoke and and expressly stated that the lack of effort to reduce Jake’s fear induced stimulus was, in fact, his idea.

The buck’s head jerked sharply to the side to stare up at Omega in obvious distress, limbs still tugging frantically at his restraints. Again Catherine tried to bargain, but before she could get two words out, the wolf offered an insane alternative, one which seemed to bother all the males in the room, even Doctor Aero himself. Jake was no exception of course, but not for exactly the same reason. His irrational fear of needles was his cause for concern; he had no clue that it would involve something as cruel as piercing his developing testes or whatever else such a harvest might entail.

Following the clapping of thighs from every male in the room, the fox lady sighed in defeat. This caused Jake’s frightened gaze to flick back to the woman as she told him his worst fear. There was no avoiding it. She had to do as she was told, and though he wasn’t certain yet what that would entail, his struggling only grew more insistent. He watched with tears welling up in his eyes as Catherine approached the table, flinching and trembling visibly when the table began to tilt slightly.

It stopped short of him actually going anywhere, or any additional strain being applied to his arms, and all of a sudden Catherine was reaching for the straps holding his left wrist. The buck followed that motion intensely, thinking the woman was going to release him. As a show of immense approval, the cub stopped struggling completely, flexing his paw in eager anticipation of being freed.

Before the fox could even touch the strap however, Omega spoke up, drawing the attention of both Catherine and Jake, the latter looking towards the wolf with another horrified expression. He simply couldn’t form words. Why was he doing this?! He wanted to trigger the rabbit’s instincts, overwhelm him with hysterical terror, and for what?!

“W-wait--” he squeaked suddenly, panting open-mouthed and breathless. He couldn’t believe Catherine was obliging these insane demands, and if that wasn’t bad enough, she proceeded to pace back and forth before suddenly explaining to him exactly what was going on.

The instant she referred to his genitals, Both of Jake’s powerful thighs jerked inward as hard as they could, muscles tense and trembling with strain as they did little to protect his privates. Catherine said outright that she was going to touch his penis, and even though she tried to offer consolation and reassurances, Jake wasn’t having any of it. He stopped listening to her at that point and devoted the majority of his energy to struggling as he begged and pleaded.

“N-no, no no no, please! Please, not that,” he whimpered, his wrists and ankles becoming increasingly raw the more he fought his restraints. “I don’t want you to touch me there, no! I--I wanna go back to my cell! I wanna go back! Please, Mister Omega, don’t make her! Don’t make her touch me! Please, I’m scared! I’m scared!” Jake broke into a fit of pitiful sobbing towards the end, tears streaming down his cheeks.

His focus never once left Catherine’s looming form beside him as his instinctual need to flee was essentially turning him into a cornered animal. He was trapped with no escape, his life in the paws of his species’ ancestral enemy. The only thing keeping the rabbit from going completely insane was that fact she was female. The musk she exuded was thus, far less intense but no less concerning. She was still a fox, with teeth and claws and a historical taste for rabbit flesh.

---

Catherine’s heart ached as Jake pleaded with her not to proceed, and a part of her wanted to outright refuse, but doing so most likely would result in something even more unpleasant for both Jake and herself. She had already avoided a terrible fate for either herself or Pete, and that was at the expense of a little girl’s life, a little girl who Jake cared for deeply. She couldn’t take any more chances. Omega had brought Jake in with Alex, seeming to indicate that something similar could happen again.

“I’m sorry, Jake..”

Catherine walked around the table to acquire a test tube before returning to Jake, moving a hesitant paw towards his sheath.

“Jake, I.. I know this is going to be scary for you but.. I’ll try to.. do it.. quickly..”

She turned her gaze to Omega, expecting yet another denial for her last statement, but this time, the wolf simply looked on. After casting a look of disdain at the wolf, she returned her attention to Jake, taking hold of the cub’s tiny sheath. She soon realized another unfortunate circumstance--that she would not be able to obtain the sample while Jake thrashed so violently, so the vixen draped a forearm over Jake’s abdomen to hold him still, or at least still enough to carefully slide that fuzzy sheath back to reveal the boy’s limp peen.

In Jake’s frightened state of mind, she would probably have to spend more time attempting to arouse him than anything else, but she had a plan to get around that, and hopefully make the whole experience that much shorter. The vixen cast one more sympathetic gaze towards the restrained cub before lowering her muzzle to his crotch, using her paw and tongue to move the organ between her lips, and began lightly suckling, sliding her tongue gently up and down the length of Jake’s young peen.

She could feel Jake’s thighs trying to squeeze together, but the straps prevented it. What many of her clients demanded of her, Jake had been begging her not to. This was something she hadn’t experienced before, and it caused tears to drip onto Jake’s crotch occasionally as the vixen continued to entice Jake’s young peen into arousal, feeling it slowly comply with her gentle suckling. The boy’s terror wasn’t helping her efforts, but thanks to Omega, there was nothing she could do about that.

---

When Catherine offered little more than a final apology and proceeded to acquire a vial for the task ahead of her, Jake’s thrashing become more sporadic. He continued to watch her with a wide-eyed intensity, every inch the prey to her predator as she returned and reached towards his nether region. The sight alone had the buck writhing and panting, a sustained whine bubbling up his clenching throat. He couldn’t take his eyes off that paw as it drew closer, hesitating only long enough for the woman to offer a few more meaningless assurances.

He didn’t dare look away long enough to acknowledge Catherine’s glance towards Omega after she made the promise to perform as quickly as possible. All he could do was whine loud and shrill before the fox’s clawed fingers grasped his soft, little sheath and the sound choked off in his throat. Every muscle in Jake’s body went rigid, their definition surprisingly visible beneath the flesh of his quivering, white fur. Naturally they were more pronounced in his thighs and calves, a sign of his lapine heritage, but his arms and heaving chest were showing considerable tone as well.

With his floppy sheath between the predator’s fingers, Jake was gripped by unrestrained terror, his body stiff but trembling with the tension. The woman must’ve found the constant movement unworkable, because before she continued, her forearm was leaned against his abdomen to hold him down. Being pinned however only excited his instinctual response even more. His thrashing began to resume in the form on violent tugging against his limbs’ restraints, but for the most part he was still and whining loudly with fear.

“N-n-n-n-no! No, no no no no no!” he whimpered over and over as he watched with a limited view of the action between his legs.

Catherine’s forearm did well to obscure a fair portion of her activities, but the sensation of his sheath peeling back to extract his little worm of a penis was unmistakable. A sharp squeak caught in his throat as his entire body convulsed. She was actually doing it, touching his privates in front of the worst audience imaginable. There was Omega and Doctor Aero, but even some of the other slaves nearby couldn’t help peeking at the shameful display. The rabbit whined loudly in distress, the metal table vibrating with the trembling on his limbs.

“N-no, stop! P-please, stop! I--I don’t want this! Omega, please! M-m-m-make her stop, please!”

It was a miracle he could still speak in his near feral state of mind, but that all changed when, after a final look into Jake’s wide, tear-filled blue eyes, Catherine opened her carnivorous maw and brought it down to the boy’s defenseless, limp organ. A sharp gasp tore up the buck’s throat as every muscle in his body froze on the spot. One moment he’d felt the hot breath of the vixen against his privates, and the next, the most sensitive part of his body was swathed in an intense warmth that made him arch his spine as much as he possibly could, the straps creaking with the strain.

His penis was in her mouth, but for all he knew initially it had just been bitten off by those predatory teeth and this warmth was just what that absence felt like before the real pain came. Instead, though, the nerves of his exposed flesh lit up in a much different way that, arguably frightened him even more. After the initial shock of those vulpine lips encompassing his tiny boyhood, he became distinctly aware of Catherine’s tongue as it lapped as his tingling but unresponsive organ, trying to coax a reaction from it.

The response was very slow, unfortunately, with Jake tensing his thighs following every spine-chilling wave of misinterpreted pleasure. He might’ve wanted to try and enjoy it if he hadn’t succumbed to irrational fear, but in his terror-addled brain, Jake was involuntarily conjuring horrifying imagery of Catherine ripping into his genitals with those sharp, meat-eating teeth. In his mind they drew blood, tore through flesh and racked his body with such unimaginable pain that the only thing that could’ve caused more psychological trauma would’ve been if she had actually been devouring him.

Only a few moments into this treatment, Jake couldn’t take it anymore. He was sobbing loudly and straining at his bondage, pleading incoherently for Omega to stop this insanity. When his obvious distress still garnered no sympathy however, the buck did the only other thing he could think to do. He forced himself to close his eyes upon the scene before him. To give in to what he imagined was imminent death. It was the only relief he could conjure that would satisfy his natural instincts, because even that unwritten manual in his genes had to admit defeat at some point.

With his eyes squeezed shut, Jake twisted his head to the side and suddenly his struggling slowed. Every muscles in his body tensed and froze in anticipation of excruciating pain or the final blow that would kill him. Toes curled, and paws balled into fists, the poor rabbit shuddered and groaned as Catherine continued her efforts, coaxing his flaccid penis into a semi-erection after nearly three minutes of her tongue’s gentle affection. The arousal went against everything his instincts had to say in the matter, and it led to an immense confusion as the conflicting signals were sent to his brain.

Another five minutes would follow before the fox’s tender affections were able to encourage a stiff enough organ to proceed. It was an agonizingly lengthy endeavor, during which Jake didn’t stop squirming and complaining vocally. There was a fair amount of pleasure to encourage arousal, but that looming sense of what his instincts assured him was impending death made it impossible to appreciate. Eventually though, despite Jake fighting it every step of the way, when Catherine’s hot, slimy maw finally retreated from his fully erect and twitching organ, it stood tall and tiny. The rabbit’s tapered penis was a frightfully long way from being coaxed into climax, but with its full length out in the open, it would be much easier to direct the flow of semen into the provided vial.

The sudden shift from hot to cold against his sensitive appendage caused the rabbit to shiver as chills travelled from one end of his body to the other. Muscles quivered in response and made that little bunny pecker bob up and down as he whined and sobbed.

---

Catherine used her paw and muzzle to help coax Jake into arousal as fast as her skills would allow, but it was difficult with the thrashing hips and the intense fear preventing Jake from actively enjoying his situation. To Catherine’s relief, eventually Jake’s struggling slowed considerably. She couldn’t see from her position that Jake had closed his eyes. That limp organ was slowly becoming rigid in her mouth.

Finally, Catherine removed her muzzle from Jake’s crotch, looking up to see that Jake has closed his eyes, which made her smile slightly, despite her eyes still being wet with tears.

“Smart move, Jake. Just keep those eyes closed and try to relax.”

Unfortunately, she didn’t think to speak low enough that Omega couldn’t hear this, so as Catherine rounded the table to retrieve some lubricant, Omega started moving towards Alex, who was being wheeled towards the wash room. Catherine took her position next to Jake while Omega stopped the feline for a moment. Alex whimpered as Omega took control of his table, knowing the wolf had something in mind that he wouldn’t like.

In an effort to get Jake to open his eyes again as Catherine applied the lube to her palm and gently grasped Jake’s erect member, Omega moved Alex to a position that would be in full view of the bound bunny. A shrill scream drew everyone’s attention as Omega’s teeth sunk into the big, round ear of the rodent cub, causing blood to immediately run down his ear and the side of his head.

Omega didn’t rip part of Alex’s ear off as he had done with Jake, instead just pulling his head back slightly to open the new wounds even more and bring more pain and screams from the young mouse. He then put on a show for Jake, dragging his tongue along the bloody wounds of Alex’s ear before making a comment he hoped would further Jake’s terror.

“Mmm, he tastes almost as good as you do, Jake. Catherine, you really should try some. The boy is delicious.”

Catherine bared her teeth and growled, her teeth still bared as she turned back to Jake, although she realized quickly the mistake she had made, and closed her lips, but the damage had probably already been done. Aero snapped his fingers towards the feline as Omega finally stepped away from the sobbing, quivering mouse’s table.

“You should probably take care of that wound while you’re cleaning him up.”

To that, the feline lowered his head and retrieved some supplies from the cabinet before wheeling Alex away again. Omega grinned, showing off his freshly blood-stained teeth as Catherine unscrewed the lid from the test tube, and began applying the lube to Jake’s arousal. She then began stroking her paw up and down Jake’s length, tears running down her face as she restrained the boy once again. Omega was deterring every attempt she could make to try to calm Jake down, but Omega’s cruelty was far from over. Once he got Jake into the washroom, his cruelty would escalate dramatically.

---

Just the sound of Catherine’s voice as she congratulated him on the agonizing decision to shut out the visual nightmare before him, made him wince. Having his eyes closed was helping a little bit, but his focus had been diverted to what he could feel, and the cold air swirling around his wet, exposed erection was making him shiver and whine pitifully. He wanted this awful event to end, wanted so desperately to return to his cell where no one could see him and the only person he’d have to worry about was Omega himself.

This was too much for the rabbit, and it showed in just how swiftly his body was running out of precious energy. His meal the night before had mostly burned away before he woke up, and breakfast had been cancelled in favor of this horrible treatment. Jake was functioning on fumes now and already they were in short supply. It took every ounce of strength he could muster to keep himself from opening his eyes to witness the awful scene taking place, so he was completely oblivious to what Omega was doing with Alex. All he could think about was the suddenly and chilling sensation erupting from his loins as Catherine applied lubricant to her paw and gripped his little pecker firmly.

What came next was mind-numbing, as Alex’s shrill scream reverberated throughout the room. That sound reached Jake’s ears with such blood-curdling intensity that the rabbit had opened his eyes before he could even register what had incited that agonizing cry. When his gaze did focus in on the display before him, however, the response was instantaneous. The buck’s entire body jerked to life, arms and legs tugging so painfully at his restraints that his flesh began to tear and draw blood to the surface.

Jake stared in absolute horror at the sight of Alex, his only friend, writhing in pain as Omega’s jaws gripped one of his round ears with such ferocity that blood oozed from the wound. Wide-eyed and mortified beyond belief, the poor cub assumed right then and there that he’d failed and that the wolf was going to make a meal out of the mouse just like he had with Samantha. The very idea alone churned the buck’s stomach so completely that his naturally suppressed gag reflex couldn’t stop him from dry-gagging in revulsion.

Another cry made his throat clench tight and choke off his rising bile, but it came as a result of Omega tucking on the damaged flesh to encourage more blood-flow. By now he was certain the man intended to make good on his threat, even as he relaxed his jaws and lapped up some of the fresh blood. He almost didn’t need to hear what Omega had to say to confirm that Alex’s life was, indeed forfeit. It did however have the intended result of driving Jake insane with fear and disgust as he commented on Alex’s taste and even offered the fox to give it a try.

At the mention of Catherine, Jake’s horrified gaze snapped to the fox, who’d been bearing her teeth at the wolf. Logic and experience told him the woman would never do such a horrible thing, but when she turned to face the rabbit with that snarl still plastered on her angry muzzle, it had the inadvertent result of instilling a hysterical, instinctive response.

“N-no! No! No! Please!” he shrieked, physically fighting against his bondage with such unbridled panic that he was going to put his delicate bone structure in jeopardy if he kept it up. “Don’t eat him, please! Don’t eat us! P-please, I don’t have anyone else, please! I don’t wanna be alone! I’ll die! I don’t wanna die!”

Jake was practically wheezing now, chest heaving deeply with every gasp for air. His heart raced painfully in his chest, threatening to burst free and his mind was so addled by unbearable terror that it was a miracle he hadn’t fainted yet. Before it was even an option however, the entire situation suddenly defused before him. Omega was instructing the feline to tend to the wound and just like that, Alex was being wheeled away, still alive but sobbing in pain. The wolf meanwhile returned to the buck’s side, grinning and bearing those bloody teeth, reminiscent of when he’d taken an actual bite out of Jake’s ear and swallowed it.

The revulsion of that memory bubbling to the surface was the final straw for Jake’s nausea and he jerked his head and his gaze away from Omega to gag again until he successfully vomited up a meager helping of stomach bile. The acidic substance had nowhere to go but to splatter against the naked fur of his shoulder while he shuddered in complete revulsion.

After the heart-aching intermission, Jake was weak and dizzy. He still tugged at his restraints periodically but he’d spent much of his energy on his panic and now his entire body throbbed painfully. There was little more he could do than sob loudly and whine in protest as Catherine, seeing no other recourse, began applying the lube more liberally and then proceeded to stimulate the bunny’s little organ with quick up and down motions. The pleasure his body derived from the gesture was bittersweet and only served to cause Jake’s muscles to tense again as he struggled to move, forcing Catherine to pin him down once more.

“W--why are you doing this?!” he blurted suddenly, following his strained words with tense groans as the fox’s efforts steadily forced him towards a climax he didn’t want.

---

Catherine openly began to cry as Jake thrashed around in terror, having just begged her and Omega not to eat his friend. She wouldn’t put it past Omega, as he had already eaten one of Jake’s friends, but to witness that same fear directed at her was just too much. All the while, she continued to do the job that was thrust upon her, working Jake’s young member to obtain the sample Aero wanted.

When Jake started to groan, his stiffness twitching in response to her movements, she angled the test tube against the tip of Jake’s peen, ready to catch the semen as soon as Jake was forced to cum. Still holding Jake with her forearm, she squeezed on Jake’s shaft the moment the first squirt of semen hit the inside of the tube, slowly, gently squeezing and letting go, slowly rubbing up and down to coax more out.

As soon as Jake’s orgasm subsided, Catherine removed her paw, and quickly gave Jake some room as she backed away.

“I’m done, Jake. I got the sample. I don’t have to touch it again, see?”

Catherine held up the tube, where Jake’s seed rested in the bottom and slid slowly down the sides of the tube, then she handed the tube off to the doctor, whose attention was now focused on his next task as he took the sample over to the microscope to examine it. He had a few other containers already in place, which he spread onto a piece of glass before applying the fresh sample of sperm.

As he worked, Omega waited patiently for Jake’s terror to subside. He could tell that Jake’s energy was leaving him, and he’d need Jake rested for what came next.

“Catherine, go get the boy a few leaves of lettuce from the kitchen. Pete, water.”

This was the first order from Omega that Catherine was able to follow willingly as she walked briskly out of the door while pete moved to the sink to fill up a cup with water, slipping a straw inside, as he was certain Omega wouldn’t want Jake untied just yet. Pete set the water aside so that he could lower Jake’s table to a more reachable height for the tiny mouse before picking up the water and positioning the straw close enough for Jake to reach.

“Here.. I think they’re done messing with you, Jake. How do you feel now? Do you need anything?”

---

In his present state of mind, had Jake even cared to acknowledge the woman’s tears, he might still not have felt ashamed of himself for so deeply offending her. Right now, the poor buck was overwhelmed by his survival instincts, which were shouting over and over in his head for him to attack, run, hide and wait. However swirling around in that chaotic mess now was another familiar response. The one that had been responsible for not one but two incidents in which the boy had forcibly taken a mate.

Right now it was there, pulsing and growing, demanding for Jake to hump and spread his seed. It swelled gradually at first, picking up intensity the closer he got. The entire ordeal was exhausting and the cub’s body was already rattling and trembling on the urge of failing him. Restrained as he was, all Jake could do in response to being so expertly milked was tense his hole body against each wave of unwanted and confusingly accepted pleasure. He wanted desperately to retract his limbs over his core, curl up into a shuddering ball and wait anxiously for these feelings to go away.

They wouldn’t yet, though. Not until Catherine finally achieved her goal. It happened quite suddenly for the rabbit. One moment he was drowning in a sea of arousal and pleasure bordering on intense pain, and the next something shot out of his penis that wasn’t what he was used to and immediately following his whole body stiffened and flexed several times to the rhythm of the fox’s manipulations.

The instant she had what she needed, less than half a teaspoon of a pale fluid, Catherine backed away immediately, paw raised and the vial in clear view. The sudden distance helped immensely to relieve the aching tension in Jake’s muscles, but when his head rolled to face the fox and see a tiny bottle with little more than a couple drops of liquid, the rabbit let out a strained gasp of dismay, followed by a ragged shudder. His face was a mess with tears, the tilted steel table beneath him tracking it down behind his back. Every muscle in his body ached, his lungs burned, and he hadn’t even been anally penetrated like the other times he’d felt this much agony.

All the pain he felt, save for what emanated from his loins currently, was entirely his own fault. He’d caused himself pain through his uncontrollable terror. And for WHAT?! A few measly drops of something Omega seemed to think made him so darn special that he had to be kept alive and tormented like this day in and day out? Jake dropped flat against the table, gasping and panting with wide, tear-filled eyes as he stared up at the ceiling in utter disbelief. Everything he’d gone through was for that? The tiniest sample of his seed?

Nothing really said more to Omega’s unforgiving cruelty than the horror he’d just been through for a task that was so simple, the boy might’ve been open to providing it on his own in private if it had meant avoiding what just happened. But no, it seemed to be the wolf’s intent all along to abuse him like this. He needed only cast a short gaze in the man’s direction to see the tickled-pink expression on his face. That sight alone was more than enough encouragement to cry with misery.

With their prize obtained, attention finally diverted from Jake, much to his relief. It allowed him to begin the slow, drunken steps towards calming himself physically and mentally. Catherine had taken a few steps further back after handing off the vial and Omega had yet to move, leaving Doctor Aero to make his way over to some equipment nearby to do whatever it was he needed the sample for. Jake was still fuzzy on the whole concept about how babies were made. All he really knew was that a male and female mating without protection would make them.

Shortly after Aero had set to work, Omega spoke up, making Jake wince weakly as he ordered Catherine and Pete to leave and fetch food and drink, something which suddenly had his tummy rumbling hungrily for. His mouth and throat were parched too, like rough sandpaper. He was beyond exhausted by now, every part of his body aching so much that he couldn’t bring himself to move anything. He lay motionless save for his chest rising and falling rapidly with each breath. He was actually trying to calm his breathing especially as a means to come down from his hysteria, and it was starting to do well.

His improvement was even more noticeable after the two slaves departed, leaving only Omega as the predator to be wary of. And he was very much so. He might’ve been able to relax a little, but not as much as he could’ve hoped for. With that wolf and his prevalent musk filling his nostrils, there would be no relief yet. As he slowly recovered, Jake had to compel himself to demand an answer from Omega.

“W… why?” he moaned, pathetically. “Wasn’t th… there another way…?”

Before the wolf could decide if he cared to respond or not, Pete returned with a small paper cup and an oversized straw. Jake was already licking his parched lips eagerly before the opening of the straw came within his reach. Even with his terror still very real, he couldn’t deny a desperate need for sustenance. It took him several tries to really secure his mouth around the straw though, and the cup was sucked dry in no time at all.

Dropping his head against the table to stare at the ceiling he breathed heavily and politely requested more under his breath. The small quantity had been little more than a tease. Before the boy could move to refill the cup though, Jake locked eyes with him and stared intensely. The next words to leave his mouth were barely a whisper and intended for Pete only as they were borne of a deluded torture victim.

“I… I want… t’die, please...” he wheezed faintly, transmitting a fleeting sincerity before turning his head to stare at the ceiling once more.

---

Pete watched the liquid in the cup slowly drain through the straw. The rabbit’s fight-or-flight reflexes had been painfully prolonged, and the poor bunny was exhausted. He soon emptied the cup of its contents and asked for more.

“Sure..”

However, as Pete started towards the sink, the bunny’s eyes locked onto him in a way that made Pete freeze.

“An.. Anything else?”

To what Jake said next, Pete had no response. He just stood, frozen, his lips moving as if he were about to say something, but all he did in the end was walk slowly back to the sink to fill up the cup. The young mouse didn’t know what to say or do. Was this why Omega was so interested in Jake’s seed? To emotionally destroy Jake, and others with his genes, over, and over, and over again?

Pete eventually returned with another full cup of water, not saying another word as he watched Jake suck on the straw. Moments later, Catherine returned with a few leaves of lettuce, hopefully enough to hold Jake over until he could get a proper breakfast. She handed off the lettuce to Pete, who gladly offered the young buck one leaf after another. It wasn’t much, but Jake desperately needed it.

By this point, Omega was sitting and watching, waiting for Jake’s body to recover from the recent psychological torture. However, Omega wasn’t nearly done with him. Once it looked like Jake was ready for round 2, Omega approached, shooing Pete, who had just been cleaning up the vomit from the table and Jake’s shoulder, away from Jake’s table and raising it back to normal height.

“Alright, little guy, let’s get you cleaned up and then we’ll get you some more food.”

As Omega wheeled Jake through the door leading into the washroom, Alex was standing free of his previous bondage, fur damp from his recent hosing and shivering slightly, the wounds on his ear cleaned and bandaged. The feline was about to take Jake’s table and prepare to clean him up as well, but Omega raised a paw.

“I’ll take care of this. You get back to the clinic, and Alex, you can go, too. Whip up some breakfast for Jake.”

Alex started moving towards the clinic, looking back with concern for a moment before a quick shooing motion of Omega’s paw urged him out of the door. The wolf, for the second time since Jake arrived, moved the table into position over the drain, turned it around, and locked the wheels into place.

“Ah, Jake, such a nostalgic setting, don’t you think? Although last time, we had another little guest, on a table right over there, doing everything she could to keep Pete and Catherine from being separated, before I literally fucked the life out of her.”

Omega gazed over at the spot where Samantha took her last breath, then directed his gaze back to Jake, grinning as he slipped his jacket off, hanging it on a support bar underneath Jake’s table before working his tie loose, and then unbuttoning his shirt, slowly stripping in front of Jake.

“Of course, she was just another virgin cunt to ravage--someone disposable that I could rip into with every inch of my cock, and get one perfect moment of gratification from, even if it killed her.. and it did.”

Omega had placed his shirt and tie under Jake’s table at this point, and then started to unbuckle his belt, and free his full sheath and peeking tip, erect and ready to force Jake to re-live his first day, almost as if he was seeing it through Samantha’s eyes.

“But you, Jake.. You were the one I chose to keep, so that I could train your little hole to accept bigger, and bigger objects, until I could pump my seed into you without killing you, so I could do it again, and again, and again... “

After Omega had removed the rest of his clothing, he slammed his palms down on either side of Jake’s head, locking eyes with him, that sadistic grin never fading, slowly pushing his table back until it was horizontal.

“....and again…”

After Jake had sent Pete back for more water another three times, the rabbit was finally rehydrated enough to begin winding down from his earlier panic. The constant struggling had worked up a significant sweat, and unable to perspire, all of the heat had been dissipating through his ears, which would’ve been quite hot to the touch now, if anyone dared to test it. For the time being though he was left alone, and it was a reprieve he desperately needed. During the minutes that passed free from assault, Jake’s body was able to relax and give in to the aching throbs that hounded them.

He wouldn’t once let Omega out of his peripherals though, as a good size of his fear remained simply because of the wolf’s physical presence and that sickly smell of predator. Even when Catherine returned with a meager offering of food, and the buck was thus forced to divide his attention, he was unwilling to let either potential threat out of his sight. Not like it mattered, of course, as the rabbit was trapped and unable to go anywhere.

With half his focus on the fox, he watched with a grumbling tummy as she handed over the pittance of a meal to Pete, who promptly approached Jake to feed him. There were maybe ten whole leaves of lettuce and a few potato chunks and carrot slices. It was all bland and the butt-ends of produce. Most of the leaves were almost entirely white, the carrots were from the ends of the vegetable and the pieces of potato had brown spots and signs of early rot.

The meal was essentially scrap. Left overs. Catherine had been given little more that the rejected parts that would’ve been thrown away. And yet, Jake feverishly snatched up each piece he was offered, wincing only slightly at the unpleasant taste as he chewed and swallowed them one at a time until there were none left. The buck then rested his head again with deep-breathed sigh. Only a few more minutes would pass by after, during which Pete would obligate himself with cleaning the bile from Jake’s fur and table. The rabbit said nothing and barely responded other than to turn his head to the opposite side.

It was only just as the mouse was finishing that Omega finally spoke up, rising to his feet and approaching the table to shoo Pete away. By now the restrained rabbit had recovered enough that the sight of the wolf looming over him as he announced it was time for his cold shower, caused him to jump and tense his twinging muscles in fright. All of his limbs pulled on his bindings, but not with the same fervor as before. The pain in his wrists and ankles were partly to blame as, with the sudden loss of adrenaline, sore spots began to pop up everywhere.

Before he knew it, Omega was wheeling him to a very familiar place. Somewhere he’d hoped he would never have to go again. For the longest time he’d been receiving his ‘baths’ in a similar but much smaller room, a private cleaning stall specifically for him so treks to the basement weren’t so frequent. Of course, he was never alone, as someone was always there to control the hose and inflict the hardships he’d come to expect. It had rarely been the wolf himself, but as they reached the double doors and pushed through to the other side, Jake had a growing suspicion that the wolf wouldn’t be leaving any time soon.

As they moved, Jake couldn’t help but hold his head up to see where they were going. So as they entered the large and disturbing resting ground for Samantha’s tortured spirit, he spotted Alex immediately and responded with both ears shooting above his head and a sudden, energetic writhing in his restraints. He was more than grateful to see the mouse not only still alive, but treated for the wound to his ear which looked only slightly worse for wear thanks to the bandages that were fastened to it.

Slick with water and shivering, the mouse met his gaze and the pair shared a worried look. The feline who’d been washing Alex proceeded to move towards Jake, which would’ve been a welcome relief to the exhausted rabbit, but Omega raised a paw and announced he’d take care of it himself. Jake’s ears dropped almost instantaneously and his expression scrunched up in growing terror again. The one thing he’d hoped he was wrong about turned out coming true. Omega was going to clean him again, just like the day he…

Dismissing both Alex and the cat, with the mouse grudgingly departing after Omega had to shoo him off, the table started rolling again, into the center of the room near the drain. Exactly like before, Jake’s was positioned right where he’d been during that fateful event. Already the buck couldn’t take his eyes off the drain where Samantha’s blood had flowed, thick and bright with diminishing life before hers was ultimately extinguished.

Still focused on that spot, void of blood but not Jake’s the memory of it, Omega suddenly spoke up beside him, making the rabbit jump and cringe as his body punished him with fresh aches and pains. The wolf must’ve planned this intentionally, or seen something in the boy’s grief-stricken expression, because he was casually offering a verbal reminder of how this was the place where his friend died. Where he’d been forced to watch her die. A whimpering cry escaped Jake, but little else. He was too broken up over the memories that came flooding back to even attempt forming words.

He didn’t have to, though. Omega, moving into Jake’s worried field of vision, started to disrobe in an ominously slow fashion while he continued to spew vile commentary about his deceased friend. He talked about her like she was nothing. Just another disposable toy he could break and throw away. It infuriated the buck, whose fearful expression scrunched further into one a look of indignation.

It didn’t last long though. Once Omega was shirtless and unfastening his pants, his little monologue took a drastic turn for the worse that Jake should’ve expected by now, but was still woefully unprepared for. The wolf dropped his pants to reveal a sheath swollen with lust for the bunny, tip peeking free and every bit as terrifying to look at as he remembered. Omega’s focus had turned fully to Jake as he provided a cringe-inducing reminder of the past week in which he’d been forced to hold increasingly large objects in his backside for hours at a time; solely for the purpose of preparing him so that the first time the wolf raped him, he wouldn’t suffer Samantha’s fate.

Jake was already sobbing before Omega had finished. The mention of filling him with semen over and over and over, was the final straw that broke his composure. He already knew what was coming. He was going to be raped again. Right here in the same room where that very act had ended the life of the only living person in this nightmare who was willing to sacrifice themselves for him. The very idea was a crippling blow to his psyche and to further the torment, Omega finished his frightening speech with two paws slamming against the table to either side of Jake’s head.

The sudden and violent action made the buck jump and shriek sharply, his entire body trying to curl inwards sharply as he flinched against that frightening, yellow-eyed gaze. Those last two words left Omega’s mouth and Jake whined in anticipatory terror. He was forced to meet those soulless orbs as the wolf’s grin never faltered. Then the table was suddenly forced flat again and the cub squealed, his breathing quickening and his race beginning the long terrible race towards full-on panic. By now Jake had found his voice again, but all he could really offer were more pleas.

“N-no, no, please,” he whimpered. “N-not again. Mister Omega, please. I--I’m sorry! W-whatever I did, I’m sorry! I’ll do whatever you want, please. I-I-I promise! I’ll be good, I won’t disobey, I won’t bite, I won’t do anything, just--please! Don’t put that--t-that thing in--inside me again, PLEASE!”

---

Omega’s grin widened as Jake’s panic began to grow. The terror in those eyes from his instinctual fear of predators combined with the traumatic memories Omega had forced upon him.. It all fell together in the moments when Omega was hovering over his little prey, his eager member twitching with excitement, longing for a hole to plunge into. He shook his head slowly, his eyes locked onto Jake’s as he restated what he had told the boy the night prior.

“This isn’t about punishment, Jake. It never was.”

Omega said this as he reached below the table to lock the rotating platform into place, and climbed onto the surface. The wolf had Jake in the exact position Samantha was in that night, and it was no mystery what his next move would be. He leaned down and wrapped an arm under Jake’s squirming waist, pressing Jake’s sheath and lower abdomen against the wolf’s body as he shuffled into position.

“And if you bite again, I’ll bite something off.. before busting those teeth out.”

Omega wasn’t sure if, during the heights of Jake’s terror, that he wouldn’t lose control of himself and bite anyway, so he would be wary of Jake’s jaws this time. For now, he had raised Jake from the table to the appropriate height to reach underneath his tail with the wet, pre-seeping tip, gripping behind his knot to squirt one coat of pre after another against that tight pucker, adjusting the angle to line up with Jake’s anus.

The wolf prolonged this moment, milking Jake’s fear as he lightly jerked his hips, pretending he was about to jab that familiar organ inside hard, but stopping short of actually penetrating. All the while, he continued to squirt pre just inside Jake’s anus, applying a healthy coating to help prevent serious damage.

Once he was satisfied with the fear he was inducing in his little prey, the wolf suddenly thrust forward. The penetration was sudden, but only half an inch before the wolf met resistance. Still, his momentum didn’t stop, growling with lust as he felt those hot confines stretch around his cock, teeth bared over the 8-year-old as he pushed farther in. With Jake’s recent encounters with Sid and Shawn, he was confident in pushing all the way in towards the knot, and immediately pulling back for a violent thrust inward. He held his position after the second thrust, but only for a brief few seconds before commencing the buck’s long session of lustful torture with slow, deep motions to prepare Jake’s rectal sphincter for the coming assault.

---

In a single instant, all of Jake’s hopes for an Omega who would reward rather than harm him if he obeyed and did as he was told, were shattered when the man looming over him and staring him in this face slowly shook his head. The wolf simply repeated what he’d said the day before, that this whole endeavor had nothing to do with being punished. At that moment the buck’s spirit faltered. His bright blue eyes shimmered with fresh tears and he squinted against them, unable to tear his frightened gaze away from Omega’s.

The struggle to grasp the reality was clear on Jake’s face, and once he’d reached the pivotal point of his horrifying revelation that the pain would keep coming in an endless cycle of torment, perhaps for the rest of his life, Omega finally pulled away, leaving the rabbit to sob loudly and whimper in fearful protest as he then climbed upon the table to straddle the small cub beneath him. The dark-haired wolf, completely naked, towered above the trembling cub, who was forced to stare up at the impressive musculature and form of his impending rapist.

He was huge; twice the buck’s size. Strong and fit and dripping with insatiable lust for his little pet. What made the sight so much worse though, aside from the fact his limbs were restrained, was that Omega’s big black scrotum, swollen sheath and protruding erection were making a hot spot on Jake’s abdomen. The poor rabbit’s gaze couldn’t help but find themselves landing on the very thing that would so soon be causing him unimaginable pain again. Just the sight had him trembling and whimpering loudly as the wolf slipped an arm under his backside to raise it from the table until his shackles were pulled taut.

Wide-eyed with growing panic, he watched Omega shuffle downward to get his genitals, now gone from Jake’s sight, low enough to find their target. All the while the wolf offered a passing warning that struck the rabbit more strongly than it was probably intended to as he was calmly assured that another incident like before would lead to something else being bitten off. Jake didn’t need to dredge up memories about the chunk ripped from his ear to show with obvious horror, but his double-crossing subconscious decided to anyway, and the response was decidedly satisfying for the wolf.

Not another word was uttered as Jake was left with only his sense of touch to go by in judging when that first, fateful, agonizing thrust would come. He thought for a brief moment that, if he were able to anticipate it, he might better prepare himself. Already he was trying to relax his sphincter to provide minimal resistance, in the hopes that if Omega got what he wanted quickly this horrible abuse would be over with sooner and he could return to his cell, sore but still alive. He thought he had it figured out, that if he gritted his teeth and forced himself to focus, that he could take it without so much pain.

Then a hot fluid struck his exposed anus, tail forced out of the way to give unrestricted access as the pre-cum dribbled down over his fleshy hole. The sensation was sudden and alarming, causing the buck to clench involuntarily, but there was no pain. Already he’d failed to predict the start to his latest rape session with Omega, and he continued to show little discipline as each new glob of fluid that splattered against his backside was met with another flex of his sphincter. He was panicking too much and assuming every little bit of contact was that moment he dreaded.

Eventually Omega started taking advantage of the rabbit’s fearful apprehension by further teasing his wounded tail-hole with feigned thrusts that implied force and pain, but barely spread the tight ring of muscles that desperately wanted to refuse entry. There was no controlling himself, no way to prepare, to focus on just letting it happen. Each prod against his back door made him squeal and whine in-between shuddering breaths. In a last ditch effort, he attempted to plead one more time for Omega to change his mind.

“P-please, Omega,” he sniffled. “I’ll--I’ll do anything else, please I promise. Please don’t do it again... It--it hurt so much last time. I-I-I can’t stand it anymore, please, I--AH!!”

A final fake thrust cut his plea short and he didn’t bother to continue as the man obviously hadn’t been paying attention anyway. Rather, he’d been milking Jake’s terror, which he had to offer in excess. Just the realization that there was no escaping this was enough for the boy to tug at his restraints and wail with misery. It was then, however, when the moment he’d been expecting. And it came completely unexpectedly.

Omega thrust forward hard, and Jake howled sharply. Despite the sudden, fiery pain, his cry was cut short by a strained grunt as his whole body was slid upward along the table. His legs were pulled taut, forcing his thighs to close in around the organ that had just forced its way barely half an inch into the buck’s rectum before bruised, aching muscles clamped down to slow its progress. The wolf didn’t stop applying pressure though. Instead he kept pushing forward to the tune of the rabbit groaning loudly every other breath as all of his effort went into resisting the inevitable.

Jake’s sphincter and inner muscles were still quite unyielding, but the rabbit couldn’t keep it up forever and little by little, that throbbing organ spread his fleshy ring and pressed deeper and deeper, filling his bowels with the familiar, uncomfortable pressure and distinct pulsing ache that he’d come to recognize as Omega’s canid member buried up to the knot. The entry had been less painful than expected thanks to the wolf’s generous application of his own pre-cum.

The entire time Omega was growling like a feral wolf, sending chills up the rabbit’s spine as he pulled on his wrist-straps, but it was only when the massive intrusion in his backside suddenly retreated and drove itself inward again that Jake realized something was different. His rapist, still every inch the mind-numbingly frightening predator, was taking it slower than usual. Even his violent thrust had less power behind it than he’d been anticipating. It still hurt immensely despite the lubrication, and Jake yelped loudly in pain when it butted up against the furthest reaches of his rectum, but to his surprise it was followed by a pause.

This unusual interlude gave the poor buck the chance to relax just a little. He wanted desperately to become accustomed to this agony in the hopes that if Omega didn’t get the response he wanted, his interest in tormenting the rabbit would diminish. As much as he desired a future where the wolf no longer took pleasure in causing him pain, it was little more than a fantasy. He tried to cling to it though, even as the thrusts resumed.

Jake’s entire body tensed then, expecting at any moment for Omega to lose himself to his primal desires and elicit the screams he so clearly desired. It quickly became apparent however, the his tormentor was going about his routine of sexual abuse very differently. Where before he’d forced his manhood deep into the cub with ruthless, unforgiving thrusts, assaulting his insides with such speed and ferocity that his minimal use of lubrication led to searing pain and fresh tears in the inner walls of his anal cavity, now he was moving with slow, deliberate motions. The extra fluid might’ve been playing a role to lessen the pain as well, but it was still no picnic by far.

Grunting and gasping with every movement, Jake’s insides were struggling to flex in rhythm to the motion. Forward thrusts forced him towards the top of the table, causing his sheath, limp and soft now, to flop around, while every extraction that followed pulled painfully on his clenching sphincter, but the experience overall was… oddly tolerable. Jake had fully expected another session of careless unforgiving thrusts tearing up his insides and spilling fresh blood all over as wave upon wave of excruciating pain racked his body. But this… it bordered on being gentle.

The fact remained however, that Omega had him strapped down and was forcibly raping his little tail-hole, something the rabbit was unlikely to ever grow accustomed to, and Jake’s panic and instinctual fear were still present in his writhing, struggling and whimpering, grunting cries. The forced invasion of his insides hurt a lot, there was no denying it. Jake was still a sobbing mess, expressing every ounce of his displeasure as his rectum was filled to bursting and subsequently emptied in what seemed like an never-ending cycle.

But he was… managing to cope. Just barely. His body began responding in different ways, learning the best response to minimize the pain of his widely stretched sphincter, when to tense against the fiery hot organ inside him, and how to manage the extraction without his innards threatening to invert. Eventually a solid rhythm formed, and though Jake was crushed to have his naked body molested once more, his sobbing and fearful whines gradually gave way to strained grunts and unhappy moans as Omega continued his steady efforts.

At some point Jake had turned his head to the side and closed his eyes, but the ever present musk was making it impossible to accept what was happening completely. Every once in awhile, his instincts would incite a panic, during which he’d tug frantically at his restraints and whine loudly in pain, but had he known Omega was just preparing him for something so much worse, he almost certainly wouldn’t have been so complacent.
