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?

They washed their hands before stepping inside the church from a path where there were no guards. The pleasant sound of the soft music drifted off to her ears and Esme stepped towards the front. "Come here and pray,'' She pointed her hand at the place beside her. 

Aleister glanced at her quietly. 

Esme averted her gaze as she closed her eyes. After she was done praying, she opened her eyes and only to find him standing beside her, intently looking at her. "Now? What are we doing?" She wondered whether he prayed or not.

''What did you pray for?" Aleister asked, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"It is not supposed to be told. They say it won't work if you tell it to someone else.''

''Or you can try me,'' Aleister stepped towards her, ''I am certain that you will get it. Anything you want will be laid at your feet.''

Esme tilted her head upwards. 

Aleister lowered his head, his powerful body towering over hers.
