[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?
Mr. Hamilton continued.
"I have purified her of your filth, and she will no longer suffer nor face despair. She will die peacefully, and you—"
Draven gripped his hair, jamming his head into the wall. "I don't give a shit about your nonsense words. Tell me where my wife is?! Where did you take her?!"
Mr. Hamilton coughed frantically, spitting out the blood that had congealed in his mouth. He spat out two of his broken teeth and lifted his head to look at Draven. He laughed heartily, quite entertained by them.
"You are free to kill me, I don't care. But I will never tell you where she is. I will not allow you vile creatures to ruin her any further than you've already done. Allow her a peaceful day—"
"I know where she is!" Lucy suddenly shouted, interrupting the whole conversation.
Draven immediately turned his head to look at her, anger burning in his eyes. He questioned, "Where is she? Tell me!!"
