Page 60 of My Alpha Stepbrother's Dirty Secret 2

I didn't say a word.I just walked to the chair in the corner, pulled it up slowly, and sat.Crossed my leg.And watched.I wasn't in a hurry.I wanted them to feel every second of what they were about to go through.

"Start talking," Logan barked, slamming the whip hard against one of the men's backs.The sound filled the whole room.The man groaned.

"Who sent you?Why Liana?!"Steve demanded.

No response.

Another crack.

"ANSWER ME!"Logan yelled, hitting again, this time with more force.One of the men, the one with a scar across his face, spat out blood but kept his mouth shut.

"You think you're tough?You think you'll get out of here alive if you don't talk?Huh?!"

They groaned.But still, no answers.

Logan looked over at me."Should we keep going?"

I gave him one nod.That was all he needed.

The next forty minutes were hell for them.Logan whipped across the chest while Steve smashed the rod across their knees and backs.The sound of skin breaking, bones cracking, filled the warehouse.They screamed.One tried to bite his own tongue off, maybe to stop himself from talking, but Steve slapped him back to consciousness.

"Talk!"Logan barked.

The man with the scar finally broke.

"I'll talk!"he wheezed, blood dripping from his mouth.

Logan stepped forward."Then start.Talk fast."

"We...we used to be Alphas," the man gasped, "Back when a

Alpha Emilia was alive before she destroyed us."

Alpha Emilia...

My body went still.That name...

I knew that name so well....Everyone knew that name.

She was a legend, a powerful female Alpha.Her story was one I heard whispered growing up.They said she died violently.Her enemies beheaded her while she was still alive, burned her body after slicing it to pieces.She married a human, which caused division in her pack.That split allowed her enemies in.They slaughtered everyone.

But there had always been a rumor, that she was pregnant before she died.

"So you knew her?"Steve asked, panting, whip still in hand.

The man with the scar coughed.Blood spilled from his mouth."She destroyed everything we had.Our packs.Our power.We lost everything because of her."

"So what the hell does that have to do with Liana?!"Logan roared.

He laughed weakly."She's her daughter."

My entire body froze.

Steve and Logan went still too.Like someone had dropped a bomb in the room.

"Her daughter?"I repeated, slowly.I didn't even know how I managed to keep my voice steady.

The scarred man gave a slow nod."We didn't know she'd be as strong as her mother, but she was even stronger...she took all three of us in one go.We couldn't lay a hand on her.Her strength...it's even more terrifying than alpha Emilia's."
