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?
Are You...Serious?
Avelina continued.
"My father introduced me to this friend of his. Since I was hopeless, he might as well marry me off to him for his benefit." She chuckled. "Of course, I was not willing. It was disgusting, and he looked even worse than my father did. I could not imagine myself being married to somebody who could have a daughter way older than I am."
"He had children too and the worst part about it was that one of them was older than I am. How embarrassing do you imagine that to be?" she questioned Draven, seeming to be venting to him.
Draven extended his hand, gently patting her head. "Continue." He was not exactly sure how to react to such an emotion.
"Well, as I said, I was not willing to marry him, but my father was going to make me do so. What he did was force me to go live with him, even though I had not even married him. He wanted me out of the house as soon as possible," Avelina moved on.
