Auroraaa

Esmeray Reis, once a princess, now lives her life like a bespectacled wallflower to stay far away from people's attention until one day she is compelled to enter the Royal Castle disguised as a maid.

Aleister Daven, a mysterious Prince. Dark, devious, and sinful. The mention of his name is enough to make people tremble. Uninterested in most things until he comes across the stubborn woman who won't spare a glance his way.

And unknowingly he grows fond of stalking her, teasing her, cornering her, despite her obvious disgust in him. She is his, and he would spare no efforts in making her realize that. 

When strange incidents happen around Esme, she finds herself waking up in the depths of the ageless sea. Mysterious powers awakening inside her body threaten to shred away her existence and rationality. The involvement of merfolk makes everything more complicated.

Staying far away from him was all she ever wished but what was she going to do when he becomes the sole ray of light in the darkness surrounding her? Will she take his hand? Will she ever tell him that it was not him who disgusted her but instead it was her growing obsession for him that she despised?

Ensnaring his Dark Moon

Esme sat on the floor, sweat trickling down her neck as she focused on the pillar at a distance.

Grey scales sparkled on the back of her hand as she focused harder.

Her body burned, chest constricting as she joined her hands, fingers twirling in a swift movement, ''Summon hellfire...''

Just as the two words escaped her mouth, a small glow appeared in between her hands and lingered on the tip of her fingers.

Esme's eyes widened and, in her excitement, the fire disappeared, leaving black smoke in its wake.

After she woke up, she surprisingly found herself on the bed when she remembered dozing off on the floor. She did not have to think much to understand who picked her up from there.

It comforted her a bit knowing that he had been to her room after their argument. Yet, she did not go looking for him.
