A Game Of Chess With A Vampire
[SLOW BURN ROMANCE. RATED 18: NO RAPE] What if the sort of love you'd wanted and desired, only but a man incapable of love could give it to you–a man who has not the slightest of an idea what the word "Love" meant? ..... Vampires coexisted with humans for centuries without either side hunting or killing the other due to a peace treaty. They didn’t feed on human blood for so long either, but that changes when the first vampire auction is held. Six human slaves were sold, and among them included Avelina, a twenty-six-year-old woman. Avelina is sold to an infamous Vampire prince, Draven Delgaard, rumored to have committed heinous acts even amongst his kind. She fears for her life upon their first encounter, but to her utmost bewilderment, Draven Delgaard makes a deal with her. He sought the inheritance of the royal family, but to be qualified, he needed a wife. Since his kinds weren’t available due to his reputation, Avelina was one of the few options left. In exchange for her freedom, she will assist him in obtaining the inheritance. But this royal inheritance can only be acquired through the style of a chess game with other royal opponents. A game of strategy and survival. Should she succeed, her freedom shall be regained and it would be a win-win for both her and Draven. However, she soon realizes that success might come at a very heavy cost. Will Avelina and Draven be able to win the game of chess? Will they secure her freedom and inheritance, or will they fall victim to the dangerous machinations of the royal family?
Aren't You Mad At Me?
The lady nodded.
"Yes, she has always been afraid of snakes that even just a talk about it has her trembling. I do not understand why she is so afraid of them, but I recall her fainting one time at the sight of them. I have never seen her afraid of something to that extent."
"I see..." Olive stood up to his feet. "Thank you very much for the information." He turned around to leave.
"Please send my regards to her. I hope she stays safe," the woman said.
Olive glanced at her with a barely discernible smile before leaving.
….
Valentine had arrived before Olive.
He sat down on the couch and crossed his legs.
Fears? Sick? What was going on? Was something wrong with Avelina? He was very apprehensive, as he does not recall anything being wrong with her before he left.
But, come to think of it, Draven did mention that Avelina was sick during the family dinner. He just did not state what sort of sickness it was.
