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 34: ADELAIDE'S BROKEN HEART

"You must come back to France," the messenger announced abruptly the moment he reached the Brebeuf just outside the clearing.

Brebeuf looked at the dark-skinned people he had grown to love more than he thought was even possible.

"I cannot leave them. Not now. Not in their hour of greatest need. It was our people who brought this disease. We cannot forsake them now."

"I'm afraid it is not a request." The young man wearing buckskin frowned. "It is an order."

Hanging his head in defeat, Brebeuf translated the message into Chief Long Knife's language, approaching the new believer with a boldness he never had before.

"I am called back to France," he waved with flailing arms, "Across the ocean far, far from here..."

Chief Long Knife hid his amusement at the man's bird-like movements, although a twinkle reached the chief's eyes.
