My Naga Owners

16)-Meeting

Niko's POV:

    "Alpha," Parvus says in acknowledgement while avoiding eye contact.

I silently slither past the small naga. A small smirk grows on my face as he shivers.

"Hey, Niko!"

I turn my head to see Risony slithering my way. He has a large grin on his face that shows off his fangs.

    Risony is a large intimidating looking naga. He has short ginger colored hair that is surprisingly soft. Freckles cover his straight and scarred nose. His dull green eyes stare with excitement into my golden ones.

    "Haha! I have not seen you in forever. How is life treatin' ya?" He rests an elbow on top of my head as we slither through the throne room. He barely needs to raise his arm to place his elbow on my head.

"As usual," I say in an uninterested voice.

"What about Felix? How is he doin'?"

"Great."

"You are so boring, Ko! Come on. Lighten up!" He pokes my neck which makes me let out a small hiss. "Still that same strict naga, huh?"

"Hello, Risony!" Aleam greets the smiling naga next to me as we enter the meeting room. He looks at me next, "brother."

"Hey, Aleam! Where are the little monsters?"

Risony accidentally removes his elbow from my head a little too roughly. I growl at him which he either doesn't notice or acknowledge.

"My little ones are taking a nap. They've tired themselves out today."

"I have to see them before I leave. I know they have missed their favorite uncle."

    "Where is Praelia?" I ask, curious as to why she is late.

    "Yeah, and the twins?" Aleam asks also curious.

    "They were givin' Praelia a hard time so she stayed back to punish them. That is why she is a little late," Risony sighs. "It honestly is tirin' dealing with those two."

"The fact that those two are even still in your territory is ridiculous. They should have already found their own by now," I grumble, coiling my tail and lowering myself.

"If your tail touches mine one more time I WILL RIP IT OFF!"

"I would like to see you try!"

"Keep your tails to YOURSELVES!"

"There they are," Risony chuckles.

Praelia along with her two sons enter the room. Two young nagas are connected to two ropes that Praeila has in her hand. The ropes loop under and over their shoulders and connects into a knot in front of their chests. The rope then goes down to their stomachs wraps around it and connects with a knot in front of them. They still have to be roped.

    Disappointing.

"What are they arguin' about now?" Risony sighs, cupping the seething lamia's cheeks.

"They do not know how to leave each other alone! I am so done with them!" she cries out.

    The twins are the only nagas that Praelia has ever shown mercy. They take total advantage of that.

"It is not my fault he is jealous that I have started getting my royal scales before him."

"I literally DO NOT CARE!"
