Epilogue
Selene
Once I ran away because fear ruled my every thought.
Fear of my destiny.
Fear of losing the people I loved.
And fear that evil would always prevail.
But the tables have turned and now immoral, wicked made men bow down to me.
I am the one they fear above all.
I am the cause of The Butcher’s ultimate demise.
I am the one who subdued The Thorn and robbed him of his last breath.
I am the woman who has captivated the love and loyalty of the three most feared men in all of the Midwest, and the reason why the Outfit broke tradition from their archaic, patriarchal ways.
I may have been born into a rotten life, but I am rotten no more.
While others quiver at the very mention of my name, I blissfully live amongst the loving embrace of the pieces of my soul.
I no longer fear anything, as long as I have them with me.
Loving me.
Cherishing me.
Who says rotten girls and boys can’t have their fairy-tale ending?
We did.
And I take pity on anyone fool enough to get in the way of our love.
Because a rotten love like ours trumps any evil that dares to rear its ugly head our way.
Let them try.
I dare you.
The End
