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?
Uncomfortable?
Avelina smiled as she nodded at them. She looked away and took a deep, pessimistic breath.
Camilla and Thalia glanced at each other, knowing very well that they had messed up. The look of shock on their faces must have given Avelina the wrong idea, but that really wasn't it.
Knowing that there was nothing they could do, they finished up bathing her and helped her out of the tub. Thalia wrapped her up in a towel, and they left the bathroom to dress her.
In less than thirty minutes, they were done. They smiled at Avelina and left the room.
"Do you think she is upset?" Camilla asked.
Thalia shook her head. "I can't tell."
Camilla blinked her eyes and smiled in what one would call disbelief.
"She's…in love."
Thalia nodded her head. "Yes, and she does not realize that. But...do you think it could be the third prince?"
"I don't know," Camilla replied. "Although I can't think of anyone else that she could possibly be in love with."
