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 To Kill Me?!

Draven was out, thus leaving Avelina seated in the room all alone. She was enjoying her reading as always, with a bit of a witty smile on her face.

A sudden knock came at the door.

"My lady, it is I, Thalia."

Avelina raised her pupils. She frowned and glanced at the door, wondering why Thalia would be at her door at such a late hour in the evening. It was currently five p.m. in the evening.

"What is it?" she asked.

Thalia responded, her voice loud enough, "Well, I must let you know about something quite important, my lady!"

Important? Avelina wrinkled her brows. She closed the book and stood up from the sofa. She strolled to the door and turned the knob, opening the door. 

She proffered a light smile. "What's the problem?"

Thalia glanced at her and quickly dipped in a polite curtsy.

"Good evening, my lady. Um, I am here to get you to the dressing room."
