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?

M-me?!

Avelina glanced at her hands and slowly smiled, quite happy with it. It looked much better and no longer frightened her.

"It is good."

Draven ruffled her hair and stood up to his feet. He had the box taken away and asked Avelina, who was gazing at him, "Do you want to eat?"

"No." Avelina shook her head.

"Why?" Draven inquired. 

Avelina shrugged. "I don't feel like it, and I have no appetite either. The thought of eating is making me nauseated." 

"Oh…" Draven scowled. He was not okay with it, but he could not force her either. "Then, what do you think of sleeping this morning? You don't sleep well at night any longer, so I think it might be good if you could."

Avelina smiled at him and got into bed. Draven pulled the duvet over her and turned around to leave, but Avelina grabbed his hand, stopping him.

He glanced at her. "Hmm? Do you want something?"

Avelina shook her head.
