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 38: NEEDING A WARRIOR

Dark Star was troubled as she lay in her husband's arms.

"I miss the man I married," she confessed, her voice a hushed whisper in the darkness.

"What do you mean?" Peter propped himself up on his elbow, before looking down at his wife.

"You've changed," Dark Star explained slowly, taking a moment to choose her words well. "Some change is wonderful, of course, but I can't help but miss the wild chief I married." She rolled her next words around in her mouth as though tasting them. "Peter Hendricks...it doesn't have the same appeal..."

Peter frowned in the darkness.

"I only want the Frenchmen to feel comfortable in our midst. My name may strike fear in them and this fort must be built. An alliance between our people is beneficial..." Peter explained a moment before suddenly grasping her wrists firmly in his hand, raising her arms above her head.

His grip was vice-like and unyielding.
