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?
Avelina...What Are You doing?
Draven's shoulders rose and fell as his anger multiplied. "Whatever you mean by that!!" He tightened his grip on Edward and furiously flung him away, causing Edward to crash into a table of food.
He stormed towards Avelina and harshly gripped her wrist. He began to walk away towards their guest room in the building.
Avelina, whose face was crumpled in pain at how tightly he was gripping her wrist, hissed. "Draven, you're hurting me."
But Draven wasn't listening. He pulled her along all the way through the passage until they arrived at their room. He pushed open the door, yanked her inside, and slammed the door shut behind them.
He locked the door and turned around to look at Avelina, who was rubbing her sore wrist with confusion evident on her face.
He lowered his head and breathed heavily to calm himself down.
