Hours bled into a seemingly endless siege. We were bruised, bleeding, and exhausted, but the line held. Then, the enemy’s tactics shifted. They stopped attacking the Nexus and began flanking us, trying to crush our force before the supposed ritual could be completed. I knew this was my final stand. I looked out at the churning sea, then back at my wolves. We had bought enough time. "Retreat, all of you!" I yelled, my voice raw. "Take the Scouts and fall back! My orders!"

The battlefield became an arena where the survival of the pack was at stake. Faced with the arrival of reinforcements, the Supreme Alpha's brother realized that the tide of the battle had turned against him. In a swift move, he retreated, disappearing into the dense forest like a fleeting shadow. His voice echoed among the trees—a threatening promise of a return to conclude what he had started.

So, he shouted immediately, “Retreat! Retreat to the back of the armored vehicles!” So, the remaining three to four thousand soldiers began fleeing frantically. With this retreat, the soldiers who had already rushed to the front exposed their backs completely to the range of Hamed’s soldiers, and so, they lost several hundred more men as they retreated. All of the soldiers retreated to the back of the armored vehicles, and the frontline commander immediately began counting the number of people. Very soon, the attrition was reported from each company. Five thousand men had launched a charge, and one thousand and three hundred men had died at one go.

Too late. The enemy was already pulling back. Boots pounded against the gravel path. Someone shouted in a thick Slavic accent. Engines roared to life.

Its sheer power was overwhelming. The ground trembled as the energy wave approached, dazzling and terrifying. Adrian's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Retreat! It's a pinnacle Fusion Stage beast!" "What?!" the soldiers exclaimed in horror. A pinnacle Fusion Stage beast was a death sentence for their group, especially with Adrian injured. Facing such a creature was suicidal. "Retreat!" Adrian commanded again. The soldiers turned and fled at full speed, their retreat resembling a chaotic stampede. Over 100 men ran as if their lives depended on it, their movements blindingly fast.

The sinister group, now facing a united front, realized that the tables had turned, and the once impenetrable fortress they had crafted for their dark designs was crumbling. As the sinister group began to retreat, their retreat was met with a renewed fight filled with hope and resilience.

Together, with their soldiers by their side, they pursued the retreating figures, launching a relentless hunt to bring each member to justice.

It means they will come back with more silver, more nets, more collars, more trucks, more law written on paper that says Whites belong to Council. But for now, on this frozen lake under northern lights that were green and pink and white and moving like slow rivers in sky, retreat meant Mordecai lifted his pale watery eyes from binoculars, said one word into radio, and his six trucks started backing up, lights still off, moving slow off ice edge onto snow bank, away from white wolves howling and Guardian running and half anointed White with burned palms that healed as fast as they burned.

Two down, four more outside. East perimeter clear.” I tapped twice against my throat mic. “Team Alpha, hold the exit.

" he screamed, his voice filled with desperation and fear. He frantically pulled and tugged at me, but my body was frozen stiff. With his pull, I fell to the ground with a sickening thud. Ean staggered and fell. Helen, who was outside the door, turned pale with fright. Then, a trace of calmness flashed in her eyes, "Ean, she's already dead. You need to accept it." Ean turned to look at her, then roared, "She's not dead! How could she be dead? It's impossible!"

She'll come back sooner or later.” Mr Kernon said as he climbed the stairs, heading to his room to retire for the night. Back in B city, Hazel had just gotten into bed when her phone beeped. Stretching out her hand, she took the phone from the bedside table, staring at the message that was clearly from Damien.
