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.
