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?

What Sort Of Poison?

Everyone was startled. 

They looked at each other, completely speechless at his straight response.

 

Kill someone? Why? What could have happened? Who is the target? They were bewildered.

 

"Um... Don, may I ask what happened?" Loui probed. 

 

Draven folded his arms to reply, "Natasha, she is causing quite the problem for me. No, for my wife."

 

"I don't like it, and she is really getting on my nerves."

 

Olive furrowed his brows. "Why? Did Lady Avelina offend her? Was there anything wrong she did to her?"

 

"Of course not! She is mad about the ceremony. I cannot tell if she is demented or just ignorant!" Draven's irritation was evident.

 

Loui pondered and stated, a bit perplexed, "Eh, but Lady Avelina won the duel fair and square even before Olive lent a helping hand."

 

"Indeed." Olive nodded, agreeing with him.
