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?

Imminent destruction

"Esme! Look at me!" 

Esme opened her eyes, chest heaving as she panted. "I... No...'' Her eyes were unfocused as she shook her head desperately.

Aleister grasped her elbows tightly, ''Look at me, princess,'' his tone softened as tried to not startle her as he called out her name again and again.

Esme's eyes slowly regained focus. She looked at him. "Al...?" Under the pale glow of moonlight, she could see the worry and panic gradually fade from his face as she called his name. 

''You are awake,'' Aleister hugged her tightly, a relieved sigh escaping his mouth.

Esme raised her hands to hold him but as she did so, something trickled down her elbow. The wet sensation made her look at her hand and a look of sheer horror crossed her face at the sight of blood.
