[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?
Lilianna left the room well, leaving just Ryan and Lestat in the room.
"Brother, who do you think could have wanted your wife dead?" Lestat asked, settling down on the chair.
Ryan looked at him and shook his head. "I don't know. I really don't know. The one who was a threat to her is already dead because I killed her."
"So you are sure that no one else wanted your wife dead?" Lestat further probed.
"Not any that I can think of," Ryan replied.
Lestat took a deep breath and stood up. "Well, calm down first and have a deep thought about this later. If you are able to think of anyone who could have wanted your wife dead, then we can start there."
Ryan nodded at him. "Thank you."
Lestat half-smiled at him and turned around, leaving the room. As soon as he was gone, Ryan stood up and began to break every breakable thing in the room, enraged and broken!
