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

"Can we stop at the corner store real quick?" Abel asked as they turned down the street with a familiar drugstore. "I need to pick up some drinks and stuff." 


"Yeah, sure," Luke said, though he felt a little nervous to go back into the store after his bite incident. He hoped that the owner didn't remember him.


Abel held the door open for him and Luke thanked him as he walked in.


"Hey, it's you!" the owner said from behind the counter with a jovial smile. "Come here for a moment, boy!" 


Luke looked at the owner with an embarrassed smile. He approached him with both hands around his coffee cup for safety.


"Are you doing okay?" the owner asked, smiling with crinkly skin. 


Luke nodded. "I was fine the next day after the bite," he said, forcing his eyes not to avert sideways to the portrait of his father.


"You really gave those brothers a fright," he said with a chuckle.


Luke smiled weakly. "Yeah, I'm glad they were around to help."
