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?
I Can Hear The Sound Of Your Heartbeat
Ryan nodded as though he were being controlled.
"Y-yes."
Old Master Lenort said, "If you and Draven were to fight, he would kill you and emerge victorious. You are no match for him, my boy."
"But…" Ryan breathed heavily. "I must… I have to..."
"You want to get revenge for your wife, is that it?" Old Master Lenort asked.
Ryan nodded. "Yes."
"Are you certain that he is responsible for your wife's death?" Old Master Lenort further probed.
"I am very certain, father," Ryan replied.
Old Master Lenort raised a brow and slowly smiled. "Then I might just have a way for you to do that."
He let go of Ryan's chin and stood up to his feet. Ryan darted his eyes towards him and watched as he walked over to his desk.
"Per the royal law book," Old Master Lenort began to speak. "It states that I can also add to the duel if I desire to. I'm the king after all, and it's my duty to make sure justice is served."
