The Cry of the Wolf

Adelaide, a homeschooling mother, had no idea that her life, and those of her children, were about to change when she receives a hand-carved metal necklace from her sister. Without giving the necklace, or the unique pendant, much thought, Adelaide is unaware that the handcrafted necklace is the source of her life-changing journey. After being transported back to 1600s Canada - a time of tribal warfare and the ever-present danger of disease - history comes to life as Adelaide must survive. Determined to find a way back to the present, Adelaide resists the circumstances she finds herself in. Chief Long Knife, however, has other ideas. The handsome warrior sees his new, instant family in a different light and is determined to win his captive's heart. The Cry of the Wolf is created by Angeline Gallant, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 25: UNEXPECTED REUNION

Brebeuf grimaced but said nothing as the captive men were separated. Those who hadn't flinched to the right and those that had screamed in pain, well, they were added to the pile to be buried later. He had done his research and knew what was coming next. Straightening his shoulders he swallowed hard, asking God for boldness he simply did not have.

"Peter," he interrupted the chief, "You cannot eat these men." Gesturing to the ones who had endured the first round of torture. "You are a Christian now - a child of God. We do not eat each other."

Chief Long Knife raised an eyebrow and then nodded, acknowledging he had heard Brebeuf's instruction. He hadn't intended to feast on flesh - not today. These men were to be adopted into the tribe, yet he held up his hand, repeating what Brebeuf had told him.

"We no longer eat our captives. It is against our new God's ways. From this day forward, it will not be done in my tribe."
