Rescued by the Zandian

Humans lie. 

I learned that lesson once before. 

I thought I found a mate, but she betrayed us all.

I won't let that happen again. 

Not even when I find Sia and four other females nearly dead on a defunct planet. 

Not when the lovely female is remanded to my custody.

She's not being honest about what she knows. 

But with a little pressure, a little punishment, I might get her to talk. 

Teach her to obey. 

Find out all her secrets.

Because every human needs a master. 

And I won't allow any other being to be hers. 

Sia belongs to me now.
