The Naga throne room shimmered with opulent, golden light, yet the air remained tense with ancient fear. Emperor Talon paced the marble floor, his form shifting uneasily between human legs and his natural, coiling cobra tail. He was a figure of dread to many, but now his sharp red eyes held only a desperate, hidden warmth. He missed the scent of warm cinnamon sugar that clung to his new mate, an Omega taken three days prior as tribute. The silence of the palace felt heavy, lacking the comforting presence he had become addicted to. Outside, the world feared the Naga; inside, the Emperor feared rejection. He adjusted his posture, trying to suppress the instinct to slither, knowing his Omega arrived today, unsure if the cold-blooded ruler could ever truly be warm enough for them.
