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?
Do You Want Me To Call Him For You?
Avelina gazed at his disappearing back. What did he mean by 'the issue has been resolved?'
The spoon in her hand slipped, falling into her food, and she clutched her heart, resisting herself from breaking down.
She could tell him, right? She could tell him her reasons, but how would she explain them? She doesn't even know what it was that she felt, but it was a feeling that made her want to be closer to him than ever. It was a feeling she needed to get rid of, otherwise, she might never be able to stay away from him when the time comes for her to leave.
Could it be love? Avelina blinked rapidly. No, it cannot possibly be. This could not be love—it cannot be! She shook her head, not willing to believe that. There was no possibility that she could have fallen in love with a vampire. No, of course not!
It was just desire—yes, that is what it was.
