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?

You knew...

''Then why did you do it? Why did you go against me, Es? So what if you have saved him?" Jeremiah pointed his fingers at Duke Maverick who had been quietly witnessing the scene since the beginning, ''Your kingdom is under my captive. The moment I want, I can make Nevesray go up in flames, along with your beloved family in it.'' 

''Why do you think I bothered putting this pretense with you?" 

Esme words made Jeremiah's heart skip a beat, ''What do you mean?" 

''While Luciana went to rescue Uncle in Visteria, Aleister had long sent his people to Nevesray to ensure everyone's safety there. We heard about Duke Maverick's return but we had yet to hear from Aleister's men which is why we needed some time.''

Esme stroked Leo gently. Leo jumped down from Esme's arms and went to a nearby pillar to rub his back there. ''And this wedding gave us the time that we desired,'' Esme looked at Leo helplessly before she continued speaking.
