Epilogue - Beast of the Bayou

Well…there you have it.

Guess you know a little more about the Beast of the Bayou now. Truth is, there was never much of a beast in him. Not the kind that folks around here imagined, anyway. There's a man beneath all that fur and muscle. A man who had spent most of his life believing he was cursed to be alone.

He wasn't. Sometimes all it takes is one brave person to look past what everyone else sees. Lila Saint-Claire Mourne did just that. She walked into this town, broken and alone. She had no idea she was walking into a story that had been waiting generations to be told.

And Solomon…my dear boy, finally stepped out of the shadows and found the love his parents always dreamed for him

As for me—I've watched this family for generations. Watched how love and tragedy shaped the Mourne legacy. Its bloodline almost destroyed by selfishness and greed. But in spite of everything, love saved us all. And isn’t that what life is all about?

Well then…I hope you've enjoyed your stay in Bayou Mourne. I've got a feeling this town's got plenty more stories to tell.

And if you happen to see a gray cat watching you next time…

Well.

Just give him a little nod.

I just might be watching over you, too.
