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?
It Hurts...Lumian
Valentine's eyes flickered, and sudden pain flashed in his eyes.
"I…do?" he inquired, slowly smiling.
"Of course." Old Master Lenort shrugged, unbothered. "You should be grateful to me that I have taken care of you till this moment. You lack nothing, and you have equal rights just as each of your brothers does, so what are you throwing a tantrum for?"
"As worthless as you are, don't you think it's a big honor that I even bothered to use you to get what I wanted? It means you are not as worthless as you should have been. Tighten up, boy, it's not a big deal. I did nothing wrong to you. You are an ungrateful brat and—"
Valentine was suddenly in front of him, his fisted hand right an inch away from his face, threatening to hit and bruise him. "You! You are just..."
"How can you say that to me?! How?!!" he shouted in his face, his fist trembling.
