All Chapters of Bad Moon Rising: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

No one left the table, and when all was done eating, it was time for wine. Everyone had his cup full as Helsinger stood up, saying he had an announcement to make that would please everyone, especially his niece Abby.That got her attention.It was only Rowan that did not seem interested as he already knew what was going to happen and be announced.His only worry was what would happen after that. That was something he had not been privileged enough to see.Well, mentioning her name had suddenly excited her to hear what her dear uncle had that would make her happy. Abby gave her full ears to everything that was about to happen. Helsinger took his cup of wine and stepped around to stand at their table. He looked around, beaming, and then began to appreciate everyone who had supported them since he lost his brother. He enjoyed how they had been dedicated to eradicating the abominations called werewolves. He specially thanked Caelum for being such an exciting addition to the family of hunt

Caelum was relieved for some reasons he could not explain yet felt guilty about.Perhaps deep down within him, he knew he was not quite ready to become a father. His present worries were all about his sister and how to rescue the only family he had.This was coupled with his thirst and desire for vengeance against the man who had whipped his family off. He had no idea what had happened when he suddenly opened those doors and faced Helsinger with those words.They suddenly came to mind, and he decided to use them on him the sooner the spirits had spoken to him in their whispering voices. He had opened the door and said it straight up, and then Rowan added to his amazement.He could not believe how much further his entire story could get.Now he was satisfied that Helsinger had calmed down and was grateful for this opportunity to speak to him and that he would not have a child to worry about when he had to prepare for war. He asked for permission to speak about what they wanted, and Hel

See her dilemma.She was already questioning if this was Caelum or the twin god playing his games with them. After all, they were merely puny humans he enjoyed toying with so much that it gave him pleasure alongside his twin.The gods themselves were very selfish, and probably the only thing they found essential to the humans was the entertainment they provided them with, which filled their lungs with gladness.Caelum was making his way to the council area, where they might be talking as a couple of moments ago after Helsinger left, there was ample time to gather those they needed for the meeting.He was suggesting that, yet again, they go eavesdrop on their conversation and, probably just as earlier, interrupt them when it seems to be going haywires and then convince them all the same way they had with Helsinger.But there was something Abby knew and believed in. Playing the same move twice was wrong, even with a different opponent.A spill on the moves played previously might have b

Then there were those with families.Wives probably and children but had dedicated their lives to the hunt.These ones would be hard to convince as well, and would try and sabotage everything he was going to say.Helsinger took yet another long and deep breath as he began.He started by explaining that; indeed, there was a way they could get Grimshaw good once and for all. He had their attention now, and this was his opportunity to channel everything he had been told and hopeful about. It was too soon, but he needed to make it work.He continued explaining that someone least expected had decided to join forces with them to make things work against Grimshaw, and they would bring him down this time. He was already sure of it.Helsinger had said all he could to convince them, and then he went quiet, waiting for them to say things and ask him questions, but a deafening silence followed up after all he had said. He could not tell if they would support him or not but would instead give them

Helsinger was the one who finally picked it up just when they were approaching the door.He stopped and turned to Caelum, looking grim as he explained that it was something purely Grimshaw had done when he killed his father. That was the moment he had cursed himself to damnation. It was a path that no one should try to thread as it came with sorrow and shame.Helsinger then asked if there were more questions, and they said no. They were set to face the council.Helsinger told them he had a plea for them, and it was for them to behave and speak only when spoken to.They had to understand that this was a marketplace, nor was it where the youths were meeting.It was a place that housed elders that were to be respected. Both vehemently stated that they, of course, did understand what he was saying and would abide by his rules.Helsinger placed a hand on the handle and told them he was not giving them rules. He did not want to be seen as a tyrant or that they had been coerced in any form.
