Chapter Three
A few months later, everything changed. Lone Wolf came home after an unsuccessful hunting trip. His anger at himself for failing to provide food to his family became uncontrollable when Shining Star did not berate him for this failure.

“Perhaps Red Bear and White Fox could go looking for rabbit,” she said. “We haven’t had rabbit in a while.”

“You dare to suggest that a mere child and a slave can do a better job than me,” Lone Wolf raged.

“That is not what I said,” Shining Star replied, moving to get away from the cooking area. She knew she was going to get beaten, but did not wish it to happen in front of all the other women. “I simply meant that they could go try to snare a rabbit; such a deed is not something you should trouble yourself with doing.”

She knew as soon as she’d said it that it was the wrong thing to have said, but it was too late. Lone Wolf grabbed her and half carried, half drug her away from the other women to their dwelling. He tore open the covering, threw her inside, and turned to Red Bear and White Fox. “She wishes the two of you to go snare a rabbit for this evening’s meal; don’t come back without one.”

The two quickly left, and Lone Wolf entered the teepee. Shining Star stood in the middle of the dwelling. She’d learned long ago that cowering only made him madder. “I did not mean to upset you,” she stated calmly.

His slap sent her across the enclosure to the area where he slept. As he approached her he started removing his clothing. “I’ve allowed you to be on your own for too long,” he said. “I must remind you of your place.”

She tried to stand to move away from him, but he grabbed her and threw her back to the ground, tearing her dress from her body as he did so. He soon was on top of her in such a manner that she could not move. He hit her across the face with his open hand until she stopped trying to free herself from him, and then he began his assault of her body.

He started by roughly handling her breasts before taking them in his mouth. He sucked on them with a force that made her cry out. When she did, he looked up at her and smiled. Shining Star closed her eyes and prepared for what she knew was coming. She did her best not to try and get away from him as he moved his hands from her breasts to between her legs.

After a few seconds of using his fingers to cause her pain, he pushed his engorged member into her. “You thought I couldn’t do this still, didn’t you?” he laughed as he pumped himself into her.

Shining Star managed to keep from saying anything. She was surprised that he could still manage to be aroused in this manner. She had thought that she had ended this ability when she’d fought him off her so long ago.

As he finally emptied his seed into her, he leaned his head down to her ears and whipsered, “I’ll forgive your unfaithfulness if you give me another son. If not, I’ll have you both punished.”

She managed to sit up and cover herself as she gathered her courage. “You’ll have who punished?” she finally asked, dreading the answer.

“You and your lover, White Fox,” Lone Wolf replied calmly, as he began to get dressed.

“We have never…” Shining Star stopped speaking as her husband turned to face her, dropping his clothing once more to the ground.

As he moved toward her he said, “It does not matter what you have or haven’t done,” he replied as he grabbed her hair and pulled her to her feet. “The village thinks the two of you are being unfaithful to me; all I have to do is say I found you together. No one will listen to either of you once I do.” He kissed her roughly before throwing her back to the ground. “Now cover yourself and go finish preparing my meal; I am hungry and wish to eat.”
