Luke Hemmings is from a long line of rebellious humans, who hated all vampires. Instead of accepting the world in which they lived, they decided to rebel against the most powerful species. Since the world has been taken over by the vampires, Luke's existence used to be nothing. A mere disturbance. Why humans kept breeding when violence and death were a normal occasion? Nobody really knew. The humans are a weak, dull, race. Never completely understanding anything, and stopping at nothing to satisfy our greed. When 200 years ago, our greed took us too far. Almost completely destroying the planet in which we lived. Michael Clifford, who had roamed our planet in secret for centuries, finally broke. That is when World War III broke out. When vampires rose to power. Humans fought back, of course. We had outnumbered them greatly, but we were weak. Vampires were the dominant species. And in the end, they won the war; and eventually the world. When Michael was born, being gay wasn't accepted. So, when he took power, he encouraged people to not hide their feelings. Gays had every right a straight couple had. That was the only thing Michael ever did that was good for the humans. If any vampire heard wind of someone insulting gays, Michael would order for them to be killed - or spend the rest of their lives to be used for blood. Michael was ruthless. He killed people when he was mad, and loved seeing people in pain. Being as cold as he was, he fell for a human. A human whose existence should have meant absolutely nothing; but instead meant everything. Cover by @BrokenButLoved97 ! Follow her, read her books.
