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?
NO!
Avelina nodded.
"Yes! It's everything." Her smile broadened.
Draven gave an unsure nod and grabbed her hand to exit the rain. "Well then, let's get out of the—"
"Draven, wait!" Avelina pulled him back, forcing him to turn and look at her.
Draven blinked, perplexed. "What's wrong?"
"There is something that I must tell you." Avelina charmingly smiled at him. "I have been holding it in and preventing myself from saying it all this time. But that is because I have yet to come to a decision, however, now is the right time for me to tell you."
Draven gazed intently at her, wondering what it could possibly be. He was hoping everything was alright.
"I have been thinking and thinking, racking through my head, trying to come to a decision that appeared really hard for me to make. But I have fortunately been able to, and I must let you know because I cannot wait any longer." She shook her head at him.
Draven's brows wrinkled in perplexity.
