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

After work, Luke walked under dim streetlamps towards the west side of the city, torn between hoping that the member of the congregation that was following him was terrified of walking through the night and sympathizing with the fact that he was just a man doing what was asked of him.


It was the dead of night, and Luke faked confidence as he walked through neighborhoods looking for a vacant house. He stayed vigilant, every sound of rustling leaves and passing cars making him jump, but no immediate danger came upon him or the man following him. 


Luke spotted a realtor's sign in a yard and his steps sped towards the house. It maybe wasn't menacing enough to pass a vampire den to the naïve members of The Faith—it wasn't dilapidated, just vacant—, but it had to do.
