Deadly Retreat Novels & Stories

“Did I—she swallowed, panic spreading across her face. “Did I hurt anyone?” He shook his head. “I must admit, you scared the hell out of everyone. But thankfully, no one is hurt.” She closed her eyes and exhaled in relief. “Good.” The silence returned thick. Dax stood abruptly and crossed the room to the window, turning his back to her. “The Council retreated at dawn. Leaving the dead and taking their wounded.” “They are bound to return,” she said. “Yes.” “With something far worse.” “Yes.” She pushed herself upwards slowly to sit up. The world tilted for a second before settling. “Then we must prepare.”

"Retreat pattern Delta!" Delta was our emergency extraction plan, a fighting withdrawal designed to minimize casualties while breaking contact with a superior force. "You're not going anywhere," Finn said calmly, gesturing to someone behind me. I spun to find myself facing three panthers; their eyes were filled with hatred as they stared at me. "I told you that you'd die tonight, Kael," Finn said. "But first, you'll watch your world fall and me buried in the depths of your mate. Then I will kill you slowly."

I did not want them to worry, so I replied with a laugh, “Nothing happened. But I may be a little tired because I’ve been preparing for graduation. “Don’t worry about me. Once I’m done on my side, I’ll go join you two. “Have fun over there!” William remained puzzled, but since I was not willing to divulge more information, he did not pursue any answers. He just told me to be careful and to call him if anything happened. After I hung up, I felt my heart squeeze in pain. The memories of their horrible deaths still remained fresh in my mind, and they refused to go away. I was not going to let those things happen again, no matter what!

"Please take him away and call one of the maids to come clean up the blood after the meeting, the old man said to one of his guards, and he nodded in reply before walking to the wounded man and pulling him up and dragging him out. Meanwhile, the old man had already taken his seat, facing everyone. "You are all welcome to this urgent meeting. As you all know, one of us decided to abandon us and his mission and flee to Italy, thinking that we wouldn't be able to find him. Well, not only are we going to find him, but we are also going to punish him so that others can learn from it," the old man said to them, but they all remained waiting for him to finish talking. "Well, to begin, Adrian will b

“Anyone that hasn't already been captured, will be soon. I am making it my mission to destroy all of you tonight. My army will obliterate everything that stands here. And when we are done, we will move onto the next, then the next, and then the next, until every single pack that stands with the Royals has been decimated from this very existence.” All the wolves that Corbin had brought with him, both ferals and members of his own pack, descended upon everyone; females, pups and elderly were traumatically separated from all the males and dragged away violently towards a brigade of trucks that had previously not been noticed before all the archaic torture.

“Fall back!” The pack hesitated, their loyalty warring with their fear. “Retreat!” she barked, her tone leaving no room for argument. The wolves obeyed, pulling back toward the edge of the battlefield, but not without losses. Every step felt like a defeat. The rogue stayed close, his movements fluid as he fended off the tendrils pursuing them. “To the treeline,” he urged. “We need cover.” Annabel nodded, shouting commands to guide the retreat. “Stay together! Don’t break formation!”

Katherine walked out of the impressive Swift Enterprise Inc. building, her heart still racing from the tense encounter with Jane, the board of directors and Alexander Swift. Drawing a sharp breath, she glanced up at the towering structure, an epitome of power and success, and couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She shook her head, trying to dispel the negative thoughts swirling in her mind.

“I was pissed they did this to me and pissed Jared fucked me over so I said fuck it and fuck you. You mated the bitch and killed Jared. I have held Scarlet responsible for a long time. She left our pack and deserted us and then showed back up as you as her mate? Now she acts like she cares? So for the past few months, I decided to teach all you people a lesson. Don’t fuck over your hired helpers. After I wiped out Montana, Washington was next. Or Is…” “What did you make to put in our water?” I asked through clenched teeth. “A liquid form of cobalt and magnesium. At high enough levels, you will die of an overdose. Shut down major organs and eventually the low blood pressure will kill you. Pai

I answered the encrypted line from the study with the door shut and Cassian’s house still quiet around me. “Say it properly,” I told Calloway. “Northern grid went dark for thirty-eight minutes. A second failure hit the east watch rotation right after they brought the grid back. No casualties. No public announcement yet. Dante closed the inner gates anyway.” “And the conversation in the room?” “Private. The three of them plus Percival. They’re asking who inside would benefit from making the palace look sloppy.” “Good.” Calloway hesitated. “They’re going to call you.”

I watched the horrific slaughter of my men in absolute, agonizing helplessness, the physical pain of my wounded leg fading beneath a sudden, crushing wave of profound failure. "We cannot stay here and fight this war on their terms, Caleb, so grab the remaining survivors and retreat toward the southern caves immediately!" I roared, my hands shaking violently as I parried another incoming strike from a snarling attacker. Caleb grabbed my uninjured shoulder, his face covered in the blood of our fallen brothers as he dragged me backward into the deeper shadows of the forest. "We must leave the dead behind, Beta Darien, because we will all share their horrific fate if we do not find a place to re
