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?
You Are...Cold
Draven was very honest with his words. "Because it is not something you would like to know,"
"Also, I do not want to say. I cannot bring myself to tell you, so I would rather you not ask."
Avelina could only stand and stare at him. She wanted to know, but since he had said it was best not to ask, she did not see a reason to probe any further.
"Listen to me, Avelina..." Draven smiled at her, although the smile did not reach his eyes like it normally would. "…I will not leave you. I'll keep my distance, but I'll always be within your reach so that when you extend your hand for me, I will be there to grab it. So do not worry, alright?"
Avelina's hands shook vigorously, and she could swear she felt like her heart was pierced by hundreds of needles.
