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?
Slow Down!
Olive took a deep breath. "I won't force you to tell me since you obviously do not want to. I suppose I'm a stranger to you. You lied." He turned around and stormed out of the bathroom.
"Olive—" Valentine flinched at the sound of the aggressively closed door. He stared into nothingness and slowly turned to look at himself in the mirror.
It is better to keep it to myself than make them sad and pity me. He sighed and began to wash his nose, which had finally stopped bleeding.
He grabbed a tissue, folding it into a slim, long piece, and shoved it into his nostrils to block any more bleeding.
Valentine exhaled and left the bathroom. He turned to make his way to the guest room but came to a stop. His eyes shifted to the door that leads to Olive's room, and he turned, proceeding towards the door.
He gave three light knocks. "Olive?"
But no response came.
