A vampire hunter who is born into The Faith, a cult that preaches purity and hatred for vampires, Luke's newest mission is to capture a half-vampire in his town. He starts working at a bar in New Orleans to get familiar with local nightlife, and there he meets Abel.

Abel, with his bright hazel eyes and dimples that frame his smile, wedges himself in the middle of Luke's mission. He's everything that The Faith hates: he drinks casually, his ears are pierced, and he's not shy about making his affections for Luke clear. His relaxed attitude is like a magnet to Luke.

After wearing Luke down, Abel persuades Luke to hang out at his apartment, where he introduces him to his brother. The sight of him shocks Luke: he's a dead-ringer for the half-vampire he's hunting.

Knowing that Abel's brother is his prey, Luke is torn between fulfilling his mission for The Faith and his fear of losing what he has with Abel.

The FAITH

Luke didn't pause for too ostentatiously long; he stopped himself from fidgeting and walked behind the bar.


Abel spotted Luke and his neutral expression brightened into a smile. 


"I thought today was your day off, isn't it?" 


The nervous twittering in his gut paused and Luke turned in the direction of Miss R's voice.


She stood in the doorway of the restrooms with a confused look on her face.


He met her eye for one second and the day of the week dawned on him. He deflated, covering his eyes with his hand. "Yeah, you're right." 


"Do you need to order something, darlin'?" Miss R teased him, though Luke thought he saw a note of sympathy on her face.


"No, I'm fine," Luke murmured, shaking his head. He stood in limbo for a second, trying to decide whether or not he should just leave.


His words sunk in a beat late to Luke, and he blinked at him.


Abel waited expectantly, an amused smile pulling across his face.
