Epilogue

C ool jazz filled the air. The crowds in the streets were slightly rowdy, but Bryan knew Jessica was always happiest when her city was doing well, so he ignored the noise from outside. For the first time in perhaps forever, he was completely relaxed.

So what if a werewolf was buying the beers? And half of his new best friends were mostly vampires? At least a few were actually human.

Jessica was watching the band with a smile. Big Jim smiled back, and so did Barry Larson, who seemed to exude a newfound confidence.

No lives had been lost in Scotland. He considered that something of a miracle, but those fighting with him just called it a good night’s work. The authorities had found a bunch of crazed kids running around and chalked it up to drugs.

Some would remember the truth. Some would learn from it. Some would spend the rest of their lives in therapy. But at least they had lives.

As for Mary, that had been tricky, but he had to admit that she had developed a real passion for good, so a story had been invented.

She showed up at the police station one day, claiming amnesia. Only seeing her own picture on television had reminded her of who she was.

Sean, sitting between Jessica and Maggie, looked thoughtful, unhappy.

“What’s the matter?” Maggie asked him

“We lost two really good cops,” he said sadly. “Nothing can ever change that.”

Jessica’s brow furrowed. “It was not your fault. Don’t even start that.”

Just then the werewolf appeared with the beers.

“Hey, Jessica, are you going to design your own wedding dress?” Maggie asked.

Jessica choked on her beer. “Maggie, no one’s asked me to marry him.”

Maggie stared at Bryan. He felt a smile curving his lips, and he stared at Jessica. “What do you think?” he asked softly. “Can a warrior and a vampire find happiness in this day and age?” he inquired.

She looked back at him, her eyes grave. “I don’t know. What do you think?”

He rose, taking her hand. “I don’t know. But we can all learn new things, right?” He pulled her up and into his arms. “I do know that I will love you for eternity,” he whispered.

She kissed his lips.

And the jazz played on.

It was, after all, New Orleans.
