struggling to control her desire to slap the doctor again. She clutched the arms of the chair and leaned in towards him, her face inches from his.
    “You must think me stupid. You speak of causing no harm in one breath, and in the next call me by my assigned designation. Even your car has a name you bastard! Those fucking mice you keep injecting with your chemicals have names!” she yelled in his face as she tried to control her rising anger.
    Mikal began to tremble slightly with his own rage. The only thing keeping him from doing anything was that he needed the information about the other labs to find Koda and learn about her.
    Alpha Two. No wonder she didn’t want to tell me her name, he thought, she doesn’t have one .
    Dr. Mussberger sputtered for a moment, his face turning a deep red color.
    “I . . . I had nothing to do with that! You know that! I . . . you were named before I even got there!” he said, trying to defend himself.
    Alpha Two could only see one thing in her mind, and her emotions took over. Within seconds she had her hands wrapped around his throat and she was choking him.
    “You were there when Alpha 12 was only four years old and asked if she could have a name of her own. She begged to be called Katie! What did you tell her? What did you say? What happened to her?” Two asked as she shook him, uncaring that he was beginning to lose consciousness.
    Mikal watched unconcerned as Alpha Two choked the man to death. He honestly wanted to do the same the more he listened to what she had been subjected to. The only thing that made him intervene was his need to find Koda and his new need to find what appeared to be at least 11 more females like he and Alpha Two.
    Without moving a muscle so as not to startle her or appear threatening, he spoke in her mind.
    “If he dies, you will not have your answers. We will need everything we can get from him in order to free your sisters and find any others that may be kept elsewhere,” he said calmly, sending her peaceful energy.
    Alpha Two immediately let go of the doctor and stepped back as he gasped and choked. She breathed deeply and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself before she did something stupid. Two hated to admit it, but she was damn glad the stranger had stopped her. He was right: she needed information from the doctor before she killed him.
    Harold had no idea what made her stop choking him, but he was grateful that she had. He’d been seconds from passing out, and he was far too curious about the male to want that. Instead, he tried to calm and placate the angry specimen in front of him.
    “I . . . did what we were told to do. You know how we were being watched. I was watched too! If I did anything outside of protocols put in place by others, I would have been killed!” he said, hoping she wouldn’t kill him.
    Mikal could feel Alpha Two’s anger rising again. Knowing their time was limited, he pushed away from the wall and moved to stand beside the female. He allowed calm energy to bleed from him so that she could use it to help settle her emotions as he faced the doctor.
    “You are stalling for time. You can either begin telling her what she wants to know, or I will take you to some friends of mine who will rip it from your head. By the time they are done, you’ll be nothing more than a drooling, mindless mess that I’ll leave to wander the streets covered in your own filth,” he said with a nasty sneer.
    Dr. Mussberger shook in fear. He had no idea if the stranger could do what he said, but he didn’t want to take that chance either.
    “I had the specimen beaten! Like we were told to do if they asked for anything like that. I had no control over how they did it! I didn’t know they would kill her,” he said, dropping his head to his chest.
    Mikal clenched his fists in rage before he was forced to catch Alpha Two around the chest and drag her away from the doctor. Keeping his arms wrapped around her, he tried to ignore the feel of her
