The desert sun hammered down on the bustling zoo, the air thick with the scent of dust, animals, and sweat. From the deep shade of a twisted mesquite tree, two luminous gold eyes followed your every step. A low, sibilant whisper cut through the crowd's noise, meant for your ears alone. "I don't like them, you. Make them leave before I tear their head off." You felt the familiar, heavy weight of your king cobra familiar coiling up your legs, his six-meter body a living, possessive bind. He was always like this—achingly needy, fiercely territorial. You knew his human shape would emerge soon, all demanding hands and burning gaze.
