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?
What Are You?
It was finally right in front of Avelina, completely within her grasp. It took her three months, but she'd made it. It was so far within her reach at the beginning, but now it was finally within her reach, and she only needed to take a step forward.
However, why wasn't she as happy as she'd expected herself to be? This was freedom—something she had always craved and needed, so why wasn't she embracing it?
Did she really want to stay with this man that much? She glanced at Draven and quickly averted her gaze the second their eyes met.
Draven exhaled softly and abruptly grabbed her hand. "Come, the barrier is over there."
He began to approach the barrier while drawing her bag with his other hand. In front of the barrier, Draven stood, suddenly no longer moving.
"Is this…where it is?" Avelina asked.
Draven gave a nod. "Yes, the barrier is right in front of us. You can't see it."
"No." Avelina shook her head.
