Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

Aleister tightened the curl of his fingers on hers as he raised his other hand and tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ear, ''But I can see you are happy to see me here.'' 

Esme pursed her lips, ''You look too much into it.'' 

He leaned closer to her, ''Then, you are not happy to see me around?" 

''I…'' Esme leaned back, ''I did not say that.'' 

''Then I take it as if you badly wanted me here. Not seeing me for some time makes you sad,'' He said seriously as he straightened up.

Esme's heart which was hanging high became stale before beating like usual and she rolled her eyes at him. He always had things his way. 

Later that night, Esme laid on the bed as she glanced at the ceiling blankly. 

After some time, she turned to the side and averted her gaze to the cackling woods in the fireplace. 

''Are you asleep?" She asked. 

''Mm,'' came the unhurried reply from the other side of the curtain.
