Chapter Twenty Two

"The Hidden Past Very Few Know"

By

Furry Sith Lord

I sat on a bed in the room that BH had led me to when he brought me to the house he lived in. From what I understood the houses were like private dorm rooms like I was used to at school. Three rooms had been set up for use when we became forced to join the White Citadel. This was my room and next to mine was a room for Lyon and down the hall was a room for Ben.

BH had been lecturing me on how he was my new parent and I was to obey him or my real dad might be punished instead of me. I had to play nice for the time being but I still had a few tricks in my pocket. I just needed to play along for the time being and not get caught.

"Here, these should be in your size based on the original clothes we took from you. I had them washed and put in the drawer and you can add these to them and rearrange them the way you want." He set the pile of clothes next to me on the bed and I looked at them wearily.

"I'll take that," he pointed to the loincloth I wore. "And see that it's disposed of. You're no longer a slave so you won't need it." I rose and removed it and handed it to him and he crumpled it up in his paw. Sanic appeared in my doorway and knocked once as he entered holding a wrapped gift.

"Here, a welcome gift to welcome you to our brotherhood." Sanic replied and he handed the gift to me. I opened it and it was a pair of boxers, in my size, with white tigers all over it. I was struck at how beautiful it looked and the background was in black and purple which made the tigers stand out even more.

"I figured you were missing your boyfriend so I got you a little something so you could feel like you had a piece of him with you." Sanic continued.

"Well, I don't believe my son is into boys but it is cute and it looks just like him." BH insisted as I was again feeling annoyed that he was trying to dictate who I can and cannot be in love with.

"Oh?" Sanic replied as he raised an eyebrow then looked at me to see my reaction. I tried to remain calm and quietly curled my paws into fists and squeezed them as hard as I could to help vent my frustration.

"One thing I've learned is that boys need to be boys. They know what they like and forcing them to do otherwise causes... problems." Sanic tried to explain to BH.

"Oh that reminds me," BH replied, then he put his paw on my shoulder and pointed out a window in my room. I looked out of it and saw a albino zebra leading my dad into another house.

"I think his name is Leggo. The poor thing has lost all his memories and if one was his son... or best friend," BH said then quickly looked at Sanic. "He'd have no idea who that fur really is." BH then gripped my shoulder. The one his paw was on so very hard that it made me cry out in pain. He learned in close and both warned and threatened me.

"His memories were taken away so that he could start over and have a new life here. Telling him things like he's your dad would confuse him and he might hurt himself. You wouldn't want him to hurt himself, would you?"

"No sir," I muttered as my reply.

"Actually since I am your parent now it's only fitting you call me something like papa or daddy. I'll let you pick but understand I won't put up with any disrespect or misbehaving. You are my son now and it's time you accept it or there will be consequences! Do I make myself clear?" He continued.

"Yes... papa." I replied. I decided to go with papa because I already had to call Bear, Papa Bear. The term papa was becoming a way to hide that I was calling them master. I needed to keep them happy for the moment.

"Say, rather than you standing there in your fur all night, why don't you try those on and see if they fit." Sanic said as he tried changing the subject. I nodded and slipped them on and they both complimented me on how they looked.

"Ben is a tiger too, isn't he? I'll have to get him a pair also." Sanic replied. I could tell he was trying to keep neutral about how BH was treating me and the look on his face showed he was as bothered by it, as I was.

Species had evolved in the sense that if boys liked other boys and girls liked other girls, no one even batted an eye. It was as normal as a boy liking a girl and vice versa. Of course there were always a few that made a big issue out of it, making everyone uncomfortable. For the longest time, my father thought his father-in-law was like that, but when we met him for the first time, we learned otherwise.

"Do you hate my daa...Leggo now?" I asked Sanic as I was wondering what he thought about what they had done to him. I wasn't sure if they were anything other than frenemies but I needed to see if he felt the same as I did.

"I don't hate 'him' but he has no idea who I am anyway so it doesn't matter." Sanic replied.

"Why don't we allow the lad to get some rest. Eh?" BH asked and Sanic nodded.

Lou sat at his desk looking up schematics for drones but he was interrupted as his phone rang.

"Hello?" He replied and was surprised to hear the familiar voice calling him. He remained silent as the events of the last few days were explained to him.

"Erased his memory!?!" Lou shouted as he heard that Bear used the slave collar to erase all of Leggo's memories.

"So Ben is the next to be indoctrinated? How long do you think he has until they move on to Lyon?" Lou asked. "Can you think of a way to delay them as much as possible?" Lou jotted down some notes.

"Which reminds me I'm working on sending in a drone to video take the layout so when I go in we have an idea of the surroundings." Lou explained. "Yeah, he says there is a student club that flies drones and he's working to take them on a field trip nearby. The story is that one of the drones will get lost and fly above you to record the area." Lou listened to the objection and again made note of it but was unconvinced.

"Do you have another way to get me the layout?" Lou asked. The reply was less than encouraging.

"You begged me to let you go ahead with this plan and we're all too far in to back out now... How much more time do you think you need?... I was removed from C.I.Z.A. so I'm sure they may try something soon, I... I wish I could but you're asking a lot." Lou was becoming increasingly frustrated and he was tired of sitting on his tail doing nothing.

"Father, do you trust me?" Tyger asked as Lou replayed an earlier conversation he had with his son. The night before they were sent back to school, after their blood transfusion, he had called Tyger into his study to both ease over the previous fight they had and to get his opinion.

Tyger excelled at adapting to the moment and improvising in a way that usually guaranteed him to win. This was why he hated playing chess with him!

"You know that I not only trust you but I love you, more than you realize." he had said, but his son seemed to ignore the remark. The mental swounds of their last fight were still fresh in his mind. He was not going to just let things go with a simple 'I love you.'

"They want Lyon, so we give them Lyon... but not alone."

"What do you mean? I'm not going to just hand over your brother to them." Lou was startled that Tyger was suggesting they use his brother as bait.

"That's exactly what you are going to do! Hear me out! The White Citadel has already sent some pigeons and that hedgehog after him. Lyon has been shown in the public's eye as an up and coming athlete. His white fur makes him a good marketing ploy and I can see him being a gateway to getting white furs accepted back in society if he keeps it up.

The White Citadel leader probably thinks he can hold up Lyon as a symbol of some kind and that's why he wants him so badly. Now the best way to control Lyon and make him do what they want, is if they have his white brother under their control also.

We'll put Lyon and myself in an easily accessible situation when they can capture us and take us there. I'll then find a way to report on their weaknesses so you can easily defeat them." Tyger explained.

"That's insane! I'm not in any way going to put you both at risk!"

"That's the beauty of my plan, we won't be at risk because The White Citadel will have other things to worry about."

"Such as?"

"Another enemy that hates both The White Citadel and C.I.Z.A. will emerge. We create a make believe enemy to keep them distracted as I go about sabotaging The White Citadel from inside. Once Bear feels confident enough that he's indoctrinated me he will turn his attention elsewhere and that is when I do my thing!" Tyger continued.

"But once he finishes with you he'll move on to your brother, do you really want that?"

"Not if I put a speed bump in his way. My boyfriend will be a buffer between us to give me time to find a way to contact you." Tyger replied.

"What you're suggesting is dangerous and idiotic and in no way I'll ever do it." Lou screamed at him.

"We just need an enemy that will scare the fur off The White Citadel." Tyger mused ignoring what his father told him.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Oh what about one of those secret organizations that species are always complaining about? We could build a fake website to make it look as if they are real." Tyger continued, still ignoring his father's objection.

"Oh and when C.I.Z.A. send in my dad I'll need you to tell The White Citadel leader that he's an agent of C.I.Z.A."

"Has your brain been replaced by a hairball?!" Lou exclaimed.

"Father, listen to me. Dad will be perfectly safe especially if they know that the agent they caught is our father. The leader will use him as a means to manipulate us. The old 'Do as we say or your dad will be hurt' routine. With them thinking they have us under their control it will make my job all the more easy.

They will then focus on the new bad furs and C.I.Z.A. especially when the bad furs attack the White Citadel."

"Now you've lost me, how are those bad furs, as you call them, going to be able to find and attack The White Citadel?" Lou asked.

"Simple Watson, the website you create will have a security breach when The White Citadel leader accesses it. You will have tracking software to find their exact location. Once you know that you can send in a fake team... maybe some friends of Will who will attack then surround the Citadel. They will demand their immediate surrender in the name of the bad furs. I'm sure their leader will retaliate and once you know that, the key to destroying The White Citadel is in your grasp then all that remains is C.I.Z.A." Tyger puffed up his chest as he proudly looked at his astonished father. Lou scooped him up in his arms and hugged him like crazy.

"How can we get you inside though?" Lou had asked.

"Hold on a second," Lou said over the phone as the mansioned doorbell rang. He quickly scanned a clock to see if the maid was still here or had she left for the evening. "Call me back later, I gotta run." Lou announced over the phone and ended the call as he ran down the halls to the front door.

He opened the door wearing his dress shirt with the tie pulled loose and his boxers. Gele stood there and eyed the underwear he wore with a smile on her face. He wore boxers with the Play Bunny logo which had a side view of a male rabbit's head and a cock pointing at it. It was a very popular porno magazine for species that like pictures of naked males filling it.

Leggo had bought them as a joke gift for Lou's birthday. Leggo's sense of humor was that the picture was supposed to represent what he wanted to do to the deer. Lou had kept them as a way to advertise when his cock needed some personal attention from his husband.

"What cute undies," She remarked sassily.

"Thanks," he replied blushing. "Why are you here?"

"MY boss is very upset that you haven't come crawling back to him begging to be let back on the team. I know the nerve of you NOT to do that! Anyway I was sent to make you see reason..."

"...and come crawling back, begging, to be back on the team?" Lou asked skeptically.

"Exactly." She replied.

"Why don't you come inside." He replied and as he turned she smacked him playfully across his ass. He flinched and gave her a look as she made her way inside.

"I can't stay long because my family is expecting me." She explained and he led her into the kitchen and took out a teapot and filled it. While the water was boiling, he set up a couple of cups.

"So what are you guys up to these days?" Lou asked politely.

"Talking about how you are a Brotherhood spy sent to destroy us, so C.I.Z.A. can't rule the world." Gele replied glibly.

"How does El Stupido feel about that?!" Lou asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I believe he thinks he's being punked by the IT team but he can't take that chance. I also think that he knows he needs you if he plans to rescue his partner."

"For fucks sake, why is he obsessed with my husband? Does he have a crush or something on him?" The tea kettle began to hiss and Lou turned it off as he poured the tea into the cups resting on their saucers.

"You know how Lyon and Tyger think they're brothers,"

"They ARE brothers," Lou interrupted to correct her.

"Merrik was the runt of his litter and his mother tossed him aside. A lone she-wolf, that lost his litter, took him in as her own. She wasn't quite right in the head so one moment she would abuse him mentally then the next she would act as if they were best friends.

His real mother was too busy dealing with her cubs to care about him and when he grew up he never knew who his real family was. He had to constantly try and prove himself because the other cubs were bigger and stronger. He couldn't compete physically so he needed to best them in other ways. That was why he became very crafty and devious to get an advantage over others.

You're way better than he is at planning and such so you've become a rival. Your husband however is the closest thing to a sibling he's ever had. That's why he's so desperate to win his.... Affection? I guess that's the word for it. Your two boys lost their kin and found it in each other, so Merrik is desperate for the same thing." Gele explained.

"Are you lying to me?" Lou asked skeptically.

"It's what he told me to tell you."

"Uh huh," Lou gave her a look and she put up her hands as if she had no choice.

"He speaks little about his family but he did mention how crazy she was. When he was a couple years old his mother died and her lasts words to him were 'You're worthless and your stupid.' She had some rare disease and was dying from it.

The way he told me the story was that he was alone with her in her hospital room. Her organs were shutting down at the time and she had fluid in her lungs. She was very thirsty but wasn't allowed to drink anything because there was worry that more fluids would fill and cause damage to her. She had a cup of ice to suck on, but that was it.

His father was out of the room talking to the doctors and there was no one around but him and her. She begged him to fill her cup up with water and he felt bad so he went to fill it. When he was walking from her bed to the faucet his footpads squealed on the floor and he stopped and looked down. Just then a nurse was walking by and looked in, being alerted to the sound, then continued on.

She replied that he was worthless and stupid as he gave her the cup of water. He spoke to his father the next day and asked not to go back to the hospital, making some lame excuse. She slipped into a coma the last night he was there. A few months later his father returned from the hospital and told him the news that she had passed away.

According to his father, she had briefly woken before she passed and she asked for him but then went back to sleep and died peacefully as her organs shut down." Gele explained.

"I'm not sure if I should be overjoyed at his pain or sorrowful. After everything he's pulled it's hard to know what to feel." Lou replied as he sipped his tea.

"You can feel whatever you want. That was the story he told me one night when I found him in his office shitfaced drunk. I've never told anyone about it and I'm sure if pressed he'd make up another one of his lies.

The only reason I tell you all this is that I want you to at least understand that he is like the rest of us! He has his own story full of hurts and struggles and everything. He's as real as we are and although he tries to make you think he's an impregnable fortress, he's just a pretty sandcastle that is drying up and crumbling." Gele said as she finished the last of her tea and placed the cup back on the saucer.

"Tell him to stop by my mansion tomorrow, I'll beg... a little... but I'm not groveling." Lou replied.

"You will make him so happy."

I used the paperclip I've been using to lockpick the closet prison to unlock it so I could be with Ben. I opened the door and he sat on the cot looking at me.

"Took you long enough," He mocked and I grumbled a reply. I sat next to him and we both leaned in and kissed. I rested my paws on his chest as he caressed my back with his. We finally pulled away from each other but it was very difficult to let each other go.

"What he asked weakly?"

"Sorry but I worry that that damn wolf is watching me. Plus we have limited time unless we want to get caught."

"I drug the bear's tea just like you taught me." Ben remarked.

"Yeah but it's not him I'm worried about." I replied.

"You worried your master's gonna be upset with you?" Ben said as he then playfully bit my neck.

"You're the one wearing the collar... bitch." I replied as I had to force his paws away.

"But you'll always be my bitch... bitch." He replied.

"That's what you think... bitch." I said as I stood and tried walking away but he gripped my tail stopping me. I flicked my tail in annoyance at being held but he refused to release it. He brought it to his mouth and kissed it.

"Stop," I replied half heartedly yet made no move to remove my tail from his grasp.

"I love you," he replied.

"I love me too." I said and it took him a second to realize what I said and to realize I was joking. He kissed the tip of my tail and released it as I hurried off to break Bear's ACs again.

Bear looked so peaceful as he slept on his couch that I could throttle him. Unfortunately I'd have to settle for breaking the ACs and making him puke. I felt bad for Ben having to clean up after him, but there are casualties in war.

I wished I could make BH as sick as I made Bear to get revenge on him for the crap he's been pulling. So he wanted to play house and I could deal with that and play along for now... but I draw the line at being told who I can and can't date. I mean who did he think he was? If Ben and I are to be together then who is he to say otherwise?

I can put up with calling him 'papa,' I can put up, somewhat, with pretending he's my parent. I can even pretend to be a good obedient cub, but no way in the tail can I even begin to follow that 'you don't like boys' order!

I began to lock the door of Ben's prison when I saw his nose peeking out from the bottom.

"Hey," he whispered.

"Hey yourself." I replied and I caressed the whiskers sticking out from the crack. He twitched at the touch but tried to remain still.

"Before you go, wanna rub one out on me?" He asked.

"Do it yourself," I countered.

"You know Bear cock blocked me by giving me a rule I can't do it to myself.... Please?!"

"No, I gotta get going." I replied feeling my resolve weakening. He whined but I knew I had to stay strong because BH could be up at any minute and wolves like the night time.

"Which reminds me, we never talked about IT" I said.

"About what?" Ben asked.

"Your bedtime story, I heard the same tale and was wondering what you think." I asked and I saw a tiny bit of movement from the space under the door. I was pretty sure he shrugged.

"I dunno, I don't trust Bear at all but would he really fake something like that?" Ben asked. I swore as I unlocked the door again and we both sat on his bed.

"That's how I'm feeling. If it's a lie, then it's an incredible one! He acts so caring and sincere that I'm not sure what to think."

"He only had a PDF to show us but I'd say if we could see the original he claims he has then we'd know for sure it was authentic." Ben replied.

"Can you press him on it? When the heat isn't making him freak out, that is." I said and Ben put his paw on my leg.

"How... about we brainstorm and see what pops up?" he said as his paw caressed my leg. I flinched and moved to get out of his reach. He looked at me with concern in his eyes and I tried not to blush but my face was feeling very warm... as was my groin.

"I love you, but I'm not ready for this. After everything that happened I just think we shouldn't rush things." I replied.

"So, you still don't trust me? After everything I've done and everything I tried to prove to you." He replied sourly.

"If our relationship is only about us pawing off together, then we're doomed from the start. I want to believe that there is more to us than just that. Is there?" I lowered my pants and undies and he looked at my erection. I saw his mind wander, then he turned away and laid down on the bed with his back facing me.

"You're right. You mean more to me than just us touching each other. But if we do love each other we shouldn't be afraid of showing it to each other." He replied without looking at me.

To Be Continued...
