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 35: FACING REALITY

Jaira struggled to keep up with the long-legged Frenchman. He wore fringed buckskin and mocassins, his steps sure as they wove through the dense forest.

"We are in hostile territory," his lowered voice reached her ears as her ankle twisted on yet another tree root.

"Hostile? As in what?" Jaira stooped to rub her throbbing leg before skipping two steps trying to keep up.

"Iroquois."

A wave of relief washed over the young woman. Iroquois! They were allies of the men at the fort that had been raided not a week ago. Jacques would not be so fortunate should they stumble upon a band of Iroquois. He did have a point in being concerned.

Jaira would never know if it was because she had thought of it for too long, but at that moment, the leaves moved a second before bare-chested warriors leaped from the trees. With a mere glance at Jacques, taking in his French-native appearance, he was swiftly scalped, his body discarded without a second thought.
