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.
