Cottonmouth

Ever since humans arrived, my world has changed.
Tensions are high as we quarrel over territory, reforming our fractured clans. I will have none of it. I did not capture a bride.
But then my world goes dark—and she appears. A female so lovely she possesses my mind, a bride who blushes every time she catches my eye.
She is sweet. She is young. She is everything I am not.
Except nothing is as it seems. I'm no longer in the forest; I'm in a cage. I'm on a ship, far from my nest, wrapped in chains.
And the female?
She is my enemy.
Only… I'm the devious naga who does not care.
