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?

A secret passage

Esme quickly pushed herself to her feet and stepped back from the bed in absolute horror, ''Did my hand awaken a consciousness of its own? What is it doing?" she quickly moved to her bed, thanking the heavens that Aleister was sleeping at the moment. She would not have known how to face him otherwise.

'Tap Tap'

There it was again. The sound of approaching footsteps.

The noise diverted her attention.

Esme waited for a long time on the bed but she could still hear the sound. It did not disappear this time unlike before.

Under the pale glow of moonlight, she picked up her gown in her hand and walked towards the door.

She walked out of the room and closed the door behind her slowly.

Taking out a candle from the candle stand on the wall, she glanced around the hallway.

There was no one in sight.

Esme closed her eyes and tried to focus her ears on the sound of the footsteps.

But she could not hear anything.
