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 19: AN UNEXPECTED ALLY

"More fish?" Small Bird held out the platter to Brebeuf.

"Thank you," Brebeuf breathed, "Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. May the Lord bless you for taking me in and showing kindness to the least of His servants."

He sounded pretentious perhaps, yet looking into his eyes, it was clear Brebeuf meant every word, his words soft like one of their storytellers.

The Iroquois children leaned forward trying to understand his words, the tone of his voice soothing.

Falcon frowned. The white demon was already enchanting the children. He should have left when they moved their camp in the morning. Let him fend for himself. He'd keep Maggie away from this intruder for the remainder of the day, worried an evil spirit would enter their unborn baby as long as Brebeuf remained in their midst.

He glanced up to where his mother was hovering over Maggie, feeding her broth as she lay on their bed. He couldn't question his chief, but he was not going to put his family at risk.
