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?
Bounded, Intertwined, Soulmates...
Valentine knelt, staring at him. Slowly, he stood up to his feet, turned around, and walked to the edge of the sky tower.
"Don't reach for my hand, Olive. That way, you won't have to let go." He spared such a charming last smile at him, cackling. "In my next life...Olive, my heart would be yours once again." With one last look at the Milky Way, he spread his arms as if a free bird and slipped off the edge of the tower.
Off he fell and began to head for the ground, quite far away.
"VALENTINE!!!!" Olive, with eyes widened in horror, rushed off, and without thinking, he jumped off the tower and began to fall after him.
At that moment, Valentine, whose eyes had sprung open at the sound of his name, widened in shock. Olive...fell after him? He'd never expected that. A glimmer of awe flickered in his emerald pupils. He was sure he'd glimpsed an angel—one reaching out to him.
