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?
Happy? Is That It?
This caused Avelina to rapidly blink her eyes.
Her…nose? Why did he kiss the tip of her nose? No one has ever done that to her. He was the first, and for reasons she could not understand, this always made her stomach flutter. He'd usually peck her cheek, though rarely, but it'd never made her feel what she felt from him kissing the tip of her nose.
It gave her such a gentle yet pure feeling. It was something she could not seem to explain.
Draven took his coat off and wrapped it around her body. "It's cold outside," he said, grabbing her hand.
He left the room with her, and they proceeded toward the general foyer to exit the mansion.
Fortunately for Avelina, she had come across Aurora, who gave a thumbs up, able to tell what could possibly be going on. But her expression changed when she saw Edward walking in through the door just as she and Draven were about to exit the royal mansion.
Draven swerved past him, pulling Avelina along with him.
