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 44: NO FORGIVENESS

Dark Star blanched, instinctively placing a hand on her womb. Smallpox was deadly - and contagious.

"I need a miracle!" Dancing Turtle now wept. "I will believe in your God. Please help us..."

Brebeuf nodded, "Only God can help your child now..."

Shoulders quivering, Dancing Turtle wept.

Joining Brebeuf in prayer, Dark Star held Dancing Turtle close, unaware that their prayers were too late. The baby was already gone.

"She is in Heaven," Brebeuf whispered, shocked at how quickly the infant had succumbed to the plague. "I am so very sorry for your loss."

Dancing Turtle stared at Brebeuf in disbelief, before running the two steps toward the table where her baby lay, no longer breathing. A low, piteous wail escaped her lips as she tenderly scooped up her first and only child's lifeless body, placing her against her heart.

Dark Star moved to comfort the bereaved mother, but before she reached the woman's side, Dancing Turtle slumped to the ground, the baby still against her heart.
