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?

But Did He Have A Choice?

Draven wasn't too sad when he watched Avelina leave, so why now? Was it that he hadn't realized just how lonely he'd be after she left? 

The sound of her laughter was no more. Her voice, still clear in his mind, was no longer reality. Her scent was finally faint, the only one he could still smell was simply the one lingering on him.

Everywhere felt so silent—so quiet like never before. It was never this empty, even when his wife and son died, so why? What is it about Avelina that is so different from how it's been with every other person?

He didn't even spend half of the time he'd spent with his late wife with Avelina, yet he felt her absence the most—so much so that it was almost too hurtful for him.

He didn't want to let go, he really didn't. But did he have a choice?
