Alana's body went rigid as Serina's presence shifted—no longer that of the teasing, amused woman who loved to make her squirm. No, now she was a storm contained within flesh, something dangerous, something threatening.
Alana's breath hitched as Serina leaned in, her touch no longer gentle or soft, but a slow, controlled caress that sent a shiver down Alana's spine. It wasn't comfort. It wasn't care. It was possession. Ownership. A claim.
"Does that look like medical attention to you?" Serina's voice was deadly, wrapping around her words with venomous sweetness. Alana didn't respond, not because she didn't want to, but because every word stuck in her throat like ash. She couldn't find her voice beneath the weight of Serina's gaze, beneath the pressing, demanding force that radiated from her.
Serina's fingers ghosted over her collarbone, over the tender skin that still stung from the fight, barely touching her but somehow imprinting deeper than any true contact ever could.
Does it feel like care?
Alana's eyes fluttered closed, her chest tightening as Serina's questions swirled in her mind, knocking around the fragile walls she had been clinging to. She had already known the answer—there was no care, no tenderness from Lirka. No warmth. Just brutality. Just pain.
She could still feel the jagged pain of the fight, still feel the rawness of it all.
But now? Now, the way Serina's words cut into her like a blade, the way her touch
wanted to hurt—
that was something she couldn't quite escape.
Serina's voice lowered to a whisper, and Alana's pulse quickened, her fingers gripping the sheets beneath her.
"Did she take you in her arms and make you feel wanted?"
The air between them seemed to still. Alana opened her eyes just as Serina's fingers brushed against the bandage at her ribs. The pain was still there, lingering like an unwelcome guest, and with each touch of Serina's fingers, it felt more suffocating. More invasive.
No one touches what's mine.
The words wrapped around Alana's mind, twisting with a possessive force that sent a jolt of panic through her chest.
Alana was already trembling beneath her, a mix of defiance and submission warring inside her. But as Serina's hands trailed down, as her fingers tightened ever so slightly around her wrist, Alana's own pulse jumped in reaction, a thrill lacing through her, against every instinct to fight it.
"Stop it," Alana rasped, voice hoarse, weaker now as she struggled to hold onto herself, to keep some semblance of control. But Serina wasn't done. She wouldn't stop.
And Alana knew that.
"No one puts their hands on you except for me."
The words slid through the air, dripping with that dark promise, with that twisted need. The words sank into Alana's skin, into her very bones, and she hated how it felt, how
right it felt. How impossible it seemed to fight back, to stay composed, when every part of her longed to be touched like that—by Serina, and no one else.
Alana's breath hitched as Serina straightened up, still hovering close, watching her like she was some toy, some possession to be carefully observed, but never truly
held.
Serina tilted her chin, forcing her to meet her gaze. Alana's eyes were dull with exhaustion, bloodied and beaten, but still—still, there was a fire there, even as Serina forced her to look into her eyes.
"You won't get even, darling," Serina purred.
"Because I won't let you."
Alana's pulse flared, blood rising to her cheeks as Serina's thumb brushed along her lower lip, a sickening, possessive gesture that sent heat flooding through her all over again.
That wasn’t Serina’s call to make.
"Now…" Serina's voice deepened, dangerous and mocking, as if she was savoring every word, every moment of this twisted game they were playing.
"Be a good girl, and tell me everything."
Alana didn't even think. She couldn't. She was drowning beneath Serina's touch, beneath her hold. The need to please, to give in, crawled beneath her skin like an itch she couldn't scratch.
But even as it burned inside her, she clenched her jaw and turned her head away, her voice weak but defiant, barely more than a whisper:
“I’m not a good girl….and I..don’t want you fighting my fights for me….” She said softly, looking to Serina with concern.
“I need to get stronger….for us.”
Alana didn’t know a lot about the Sith, but she did know that it was all about strength.
And she needed to get stronger.
“Lirka asked me…to join a special unit under her…and fought me to see if I would fit….i passed.”
