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?

Identity?

The curtains moved and a shadow leaped in through the window. 

''Es...'' That very same gentle voice and handsome face yet Esme's blood turned cold at the sight of the person standing in front of her. 

How long had Jeremiah been here? 

She was too distracted to notice his presence. 

Masking her emotions, she put a soft smile on her face, thanking her ancestors that she had not used her powers to arrange flowers for Aleister yet, ''Jer..'' her deliberately shy voice made her inwardly break out in goosebumps but Esme did not let it show. 

Jeremiah's smile turned wider, ''What are you doing here?" 

''I was here to meet the Prince on the King's order. Since he was not around, I decided to wait for him. But he has yet to arrive so I decided to leave,'' she said without a change in her expression.

Jeremiah nodded, not probing further regarding why the King ordered her to meet Aleister and wait for him, especially on his 'bed'.
