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?
DRAVEN!!
Avelina proceeded to explain.
"Listen, sometimes things happen and you just say, "You are evil" It does not mean you mean it. You are just trying to use it to describe something or maybe how you feel. I mean, you just read this book, and I don't remember what chapter I was in, so that is why I said that."
Draven pondered deeply about it and thoughtfully shook his head. "I still don't understand. I don't get it at all. Are you saying I am evil because I read your book and now—"
"Draven." Avelina smiled at him. "It's okay. That was a slip of the tongue from me, okay? I didn't mean it, and I am not mad, either."
"Oh…alright." Draven nodded. "Well, if you are worried about the page you were at, it's okay, I memorized it. Before I started reading, I checked it, so you were at page twenty-five."
A deep breath of relief fled Avelina's mouth, and she looked at him. "What page are you on?"
