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?
You Cannot Leave Me!
Valentine smirked.
"It's simple. Natasha is very impatient and cannot seem to wait till the seventh night, so she wants to kill your wife using a much faster method."
"Which is?" Draven was anticipating an answer from him.
"With the use of a talisman," Valentine said.
"Huh…?" Draven flickered his eyes, perplexed. "A…talisman?"
Valentine nodded. "Mhm. From what I heard during their conversation, Natasha will have to bury the talisman somewhere here in the royal mansion. At night, it will affect your wife and reduce her chances of surviving. No, it will not even lessen her chances of surviving, but it will kill her."
Draven was silent. He blinked his eyes before asking, "How…how is that…wait, I am confused. How is that supposed to save my wife?"
"Oh, well, the witch did say if she does not succeed with the talisman, the spell will be broken. It's like when two opposites come together and create a negative reaction," Valentine replied.
