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 46: THE ANGEL OF DEATH

They didn't have far to travel, crossing the narrowest part of the river. By daybreak, they reached the village, tying Brebeuf and his comrades to a post.

"What are you going to do?" Jaira shrieked, punching her husband's chest as he stood back, unflinching.

"I'm not doing anything and you had better stop right now if you know what's good for you..." William threatened, digging his fingers into her wrist until she yelped, certain he was separating her fragile wrist bones.

“Let me go!" Jaira pleaded, her eyes shooting him daggers.

Bitterness, like bile, rose in her throat.

Why had she left her sister? There was no love between her and her husband. Ah yes...she wanted to do the right thing. The heavens seem to taunt her as William increased the already painful pressure.

"What, you don't want to watch? I thought you hated Catholics. You should enjoy this..."

"I don't hate them!" Jaira whimpered, hating herself for showing William weakness.
