Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid. Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way. And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated. Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

I will die

Esme stepped back, avoiding his touch as she lowered her head.

Aleister stiffened, ''Are you angry? I...'' he paused for a moment as he raked his fingers through his hair.

Did he tease her too much? Did she feel like he was trying to make a fool of her? Did she hate him again? Was she going to leave now?

Countless questions appeared in his head and he panicked, ''Esme,'' he called her softly, ''I know I was wrong. Forgive me...''

'Thump'

Esme fell to her knees, cutting his words off as he looked at her with a shocked expression on his face.

''Es—''

''Why are you so good to me, Al?" she tilted her head to look at him, tears streamed down her cheeks as her lips curled down.

Yet, he was too stunned to say anything.

'Not my lord. You can call me Al.'

'No.'

'Yes, my dear moon.'

'No. No. No.'

Aleister felt his heart skipping a few beats as he stared at her in a daze.

Esme. His Esme.
