I have also illustrated two story books used by primary teachers and students as a part of a vocal hygiene program at University of Arizona’s Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences.My credits also include four stories published by McFadden Publishing Co. in NYC. I wrote, illustrated and published two books of poetry used as fund-raisers by the Leukemia and Multiple Sclerosis organizations. I wrote illustrated and published in one book, forty-two children’s stories.I had an exhibition at the King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne, Fl of my pen and ink drawings of animals. Recently, I have had three E-Book Romance Novels and a book of short stories published on the Spangaloo.Com website and another on the Smashwords.Com website. I make my home in Melbourne, Florida where I continue to write and illustrate

      Wild Heart - Therese A Kraemer

      CHAPTER ONE

      Somewhere, around the seventeenth century, in an unknown part of Russia...

      Cutter, I cannot bear this pain any longer! cried the woman in labor for over twenty hours.

      "Cutter held his mate, himself in agony seeing the love of his life suffer so. They lived in the deepest part of the woods and had taken a stroll away from their wooden abode late yesterday spending the night under a Weeping Willow. It was Jenna’s favorite tree, the only one that mysteriously grew in the forest.

      Jenna my love, I must go and get her.

      Jenna grabbed his hand and scream, No! You know that I never want to see that woman again. Pleeease, not her! she begged and then she passed out.

      He hated to go against her wishes but he had no other choice. Cutter kissed her pale face and ran like the wind. Upon reaching the cave he called out, Helga!

      Who’s there, cried a high pitched voice.

      It is Cutter, I need your help.

      Ha, is that so, the voice crackled sending a chill up his spine. He hated that he had to beg for this woman’s help but he did. Janna is in labor and I fear she’ll not survive the birthing. Please, you must help her, he pleaded.

      Within minutes an old hag, bent over and leaning on a curved tree limb, came to the cave’s entrance. Show me where she is, was all she said and she followed him.

      Janna was still unconscious, her legs covered in blood. Helga quickly knelt on the ground and ordered, Slap her, I need her awake to push.

      Cutter gathered his mate into his arms and tapped her cheek, Honey, wakeup, he pleaded.

      Slap her hard you fool! cried Helga. He winced but did and Jenna moaned and opened her eyes.

      Darling you have to push, he said tears running down his sweaty face.

      Jenna squeezed his hand so hard a few fingers cracked as she pushed with all her strength.

      Again! she was ordered.

      After a few more painful pushes the old lady cried, It’s a girl, but she’s not breathing. I have to take her to the stream and placed her in the cold water. Hopefully the shock will save her.

      Jenna we have a daughter, Cutter said but Jenna was again unconscious. He shook her and there was no response, not even a moan. Fearing the worst, he placed his ear on her cheat and there was no heartbeat. She was dead. Cutter let out a pitiful cry that spooked the birds out of the trees and caused a wolf in the distance to howl. After many minutes of weeping, he heard a faint cry getting his attention. He hated to leave Jenna but he reluctantly kissed her cheek and promised to return. Cutter ran to the stream seeing the old lady walking back to her cave.

      Stop! he yelled but she kept walking. Leaning on her cane, she nearly stumbled but Cutter grabbed her. Where are you going with my daughter? he barked.

      She clutched the baby she had wrapped in her shawl and sneered, She is my granddaughter; you cannot raise a baby on your own.

      You witch; do you think that Jenna would want you to care for her? You raised your daughter with a cruel heart, the reason she ran away from you when she was fourteen. No, you are not fit to even hold my daughter, he snapped back.

      She gripped the baby tighter to her bosom. You stole my Jenna from me four years ago and mated with her.

      Jenna was not your daughter; you abducted her when you helped a woman in town give birth. My father told me that when he went to town that there were rumors that a mid-wife stole a baby girl. I have to believe that you lied and told the mother that the child was still born, but we know the truth, you’re a wicked old bitch."

      The baby began to cry and when he reached for the infant Helga stumbled backwards. He grabbed the child a moment before she fell down the hill and into the raging stream.

      Cutter took the infant back to Jenna and spoke softly to her. My love, I will name our daughter Willow and I will burry you under the Weeping Willow that will cry with me for you in your endless sleep.

      CHAPTER TWO

      Sixteen years later.

      Steady now daughter, he whispered.

      Yes father, I know, this is not my first kill, Willow whispered back. She pulled the string of her bow and let the arrow fly. The deer flipped into the air and then lay dead on the forest’s earth.

      "Excellent
