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?
I Don't Like You
Avelina shook her head. "N-no. It was a woman, Draven. She was singing to the melody that you were playing. I heard her clearly. It was—"
"My mother?" Draven drew his head back. "That's…not possible."
It was only in his head. No one, no one else apart from him, should have been able to hear that voice.
"Draven, I am not lying. I am…not." Avelina could tell that he did not believe her.
Draven gazed at her and abruptly glanced at the door.
Could he have possibly done something without knowing? How did his father even know that he was playing? What brought him there? These questions left him confused. Could it be that while he thought only he was hearing his mother's voice, the others were too?
He quickly lifted Avelina into his arms and stood up to his feet. He walked over to the bed and laid her down.
"I am sorry." Draven apologized. "I don't know what happened," he said to her.
