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 Don't Care Anymore!
Valentine continued.
"He had a very rough experience when we were little. He had no chance to see his mother and was only able to do so on the day she died in front of him. That scarred him, I suppose, and it seems he does not want the same for Lady Avelina. Perhaps he would consider bringing Lady Avelina back after she goes home. But that is if she wants to."
"If not—knowing my brother, he would let her be." He deeply sighed. "Also, as I told you, he is not capable of love, so he would not want her to be with him. He would never be able to get over the guilt of knowing he could not reciprocate her feelings. He obviously wants her to choose someone else—someone who would feel the same way as she does."
Now, finally understanding, they took a deep breath.
"Oh…Don…" Ava bit her lower lip.
"But he deserves to be loved too. It is not his fault that he is not capable of love."
