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?
She's My Wife And Mine Alone!!
Amidst the crowd, Edward regarded Avelina with widened eyes, seeming to be in what one would call a sudden trance.
Beautiful! This, he exclaimed inwardly.
To the woman beside him, he muttered something and walked away from her.
Up where he sat, Draven watched Avelina with a faint smile and an admiring gaze. His legs were crossed, and his hands were interlocked.
Avelina kept a coy smile as she finally arrived in the center of the room. She did not fail to notice Natasha's cold gaze.
Edward moved past Olive's group of six, who successfully arrived at the ceremony. They were carefully blending into the crowd, and the only ones who could tell them apart were Draven and Valentine.
Draven kept his gaze locked on Avelina, but his brows furrowed all of a sudden the second he glimpsed Edward, who waited expectantly. He deeply frowned but did not react.
Edward approached Avelina, and Draven glared from where he sat, suddenly pissed off.
