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?
Why Are You Disappointed?
Draven shut the door behind him.
He looked over at the bed to see Avelina lying under the duvet. Her attention was fixed on the bedside lamp.
"Are you okay?" Draven inquired.
Avelina turned and glanced at him. She nodded her head.
Draven got into the bed beside her. "Still scared to sleep?" He gently began to brush her hair with his palm.
"Mhm…" Avelina gave a nod. "I'm trying to be tough, but Mr. Tough does not want to cooperate with me."
Draven chuckled softly at her statement, amused.
"Is that so?"
"Yes," Avelina replied.
"Well," Draven pondered. "Do you perhaps want me to hold you? I think you would fall asleep better if I did that, or... no?" He wasn't sure.
Avelina immediately sprang into a sitting position on the bed. "Will you?" Her large eye had softened so much that it caused Draven's heart to throb.
