[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?
Draven's confused voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.
[Valentine? Wait, what is going on?]
"It's an S-graded one, Don, and—"
The phone was snatched from him and thrown across the room, breaking into pieces. The vampire was enraged. He hit Olive so badly that he was sent flying and crashing onto the wall.
Olive plummeted to the floor and coughed hard, spurting out a mouthful of blood. He looked over to see Lucien, who was trembling on the spot. Never had he seen her that scared since knowing her. The intimidation and fear this man was instilling in them were beyond them. It was to the point that even Valentine was terrified.
Olive breathed heavily. He tried to get up from the floor to rush towards Lucien, who was about to get hit, but his momentum was stopped, and it was at that moment that he realized that one of his ribs was broken.
