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 67: FEAR NOT

Nothing looked familiar. Adelaide searched her memories and came up blank. She was certain this wasn’t the way they had traveled when brought to the Mohawk Valley. Then again, she had been so overwhelmed with grief at the loss of her children, she could be mistaken.

Sighing, she hurried to catch up with the tribe who continued to move eastward, slaughtering any and all Frenchmen they encountered. No captives were taken, only their scalps. Fortunately, Adelaide wasn’t required to help scrape the tissue from the skins before stretching them on hoops to dry out.

The men compared the number of scalps they had collected after each raid before preparing them to be displayed on hastily constructed hoops.

Adelaide turned away, nauseated. The soft hair hanging from cleaned skins was a silent reminder Adelaide did not belong to this world. As far as she could see, none of the victims deserved such a fate. Their murder was swift if that was any consolation.
