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?

The view

Esme placed the back of her hand on her face as she pulled the sheets upwards before moving to the side.

As she slowly opened her eyes, she abruptly sat up on the bed, stunned by the presence on her bed. ''It's you...'' She patted her chest, her heart still thumping wildly. 

''Are you scared of me?" Aleister asked as he leaned back on the bed before lifting his leg from the floor as he crossed it in front of him, one of his hands rested on his knee while the other on her pillow with the side of his head propped on his fist.

She glanced at his deep fathomless eyes, ''I thought it was someone else. I was waiting for you to come back. I didn't realize when I dozed off,'' She glanced at the gradually darkening sky through the window. It was evening. How long did she sleep? ''Is everything alright now?'' She tucked her hair behind her ear. 

''Everything was dealt with...amicably.''
