Point Of Retreat Colleen Hoover นิยาย & เรื่องราว

However, it was not over yet! Another woman came down, also holding a black-and-white photograph. “Leo Tanner, thirty-seven. He died in a raid.” “Hugh Greene, twenty-eight. He sacrificed his life to cover his comrades’ retreat at the foot of Sky Peak.” “Gerald Bowie, twenty-four years old. He was swept away while rescuing three children during a flood relief mission.” More and more women returned, each holding a black-and-white photograph. Every word they said was like a bullet, striking straight at the heart of everyone present.

While fighting the Vulture, Mike did not want his loot to be stolen. It was very helpful. The Vulture would be their only source of supplies while they regained their strength if they failed to kill it. Because he was aware that they were vastly outnumbered, Mike considered failure as an outcome. He might have certain skills, but he didn't believe in himself completely. Do I appear to be stupid? I've got more than one place to hide... Pick one up and go with me!” After giving Mike a signal to gather their treasure, Colleen left. Before bringing Mike to the Garden Villa Area's outermost reaches, she returned to the previous hideout and gathered everything she could.

I can't continue living in this town. I am ready to play this game. But what makes me sad is my precious, perfect daughter, Camilla. I know of all the people, she will be affected the most by my 'death'. But there is really nothing I can do about it. Plus, I am leaving everything in her name. So that when I finally decide to make 'The Return' to this damned town, I can get back everything that belongs to me without any legal issues. ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

Our men then slowly started to retreat, and the second part of our plan went into action as Alpha Hunter motioned to his men to set the detonators. There was only one problem to this plan, and it was we hadn’t encountered the Moon Witch or Willow’s father since we raided the old mining headquarters. It made me wonder if they had already headed to Canyon Ridge with receiving my letter and I just hope that Alpha Conner and his men were prepared for them.

“Ballsy.” “Rhett lost it,” I continued. “Slammed out of the war room, shifted, and ran the ridge for three hours. Came back covered in mud and still growling. Hasn’t spoken to Declan since.” Killian rubbed a hand over his face. “How bad?” “Bad,” I said. “Declan’s been sleeping in the archive. Rhett won’t even look at him. I’ve never seen him this cold.” Colt leaned forward between the seats. “Come on. Declan did the right thing. He found the money trail, he made the only move that ends this without a war. He was looking out for Rhett.”

Something was off. “…if we can intercept their next shipment, we might be able to confirm the Crow’s link to Benedict Holdings,” Colleen said, breaking the silence. Savannah nodded absently, but did not look up. Her distraction was so unlike her. Usually, she was sharp, focused, and often questioned everything. But tonight, though, her mind seemed somewhere else entirely. When our meeting finally wrapped up, Colleen stretched lazily, gave Savannah a knowing grin, and said he’d “check in later.” Then he left through the side door, and I waited until his footsteps had completely faded into the night.

“Wait…” Olivia stopped instantly. She bolted to the chair where she stared at him expectantly with all her hopes up. “I’ll only talk about it because of her” The aged man muttered and she nodded while Wilder stared at him with gratitude. “A week or so ago, a lady came to meet me saying she needed to know about any secret hideout in the pack, that it was very important, a matter of life and death. She pleaded with me and I offered her the places I knew. In this pack, there are four major hideouts, each at every angle but far from the border. It’s deep inside the forest and without searching well, you’d miss it. If not carefully checked, you’ll never find it. I don’t know if she’s at any one b

Colleen spat, grimacing with anger. She strained to get up from the ground but winced in pain as her legs failed her. "Why are you fools all standing there? Help me up!" She barked at those loyal middle-aged maids, who were shocked into action. They rushed to assist her, carrying her back to her room. Before leaving, Colleen shot a venomous glare at Harriet. "This isn't over, you little fool!" Little did Colleen know that her arrogance and domineering behavior had all been captured by the surveillance cameras in the villa.

That would work to his advantage, but he wished they were not so outnumbered. He woke that night to find her gone and did not go back to sleep until she returned just before sunrise. Over breakfast he asked where she had been and she flatly refused to tell him. By the time Ian arrived with the latest news, Mikail was in a bad mood. Ian looked from Victor who seemed to be in a fine mood to the captain who looked like he could sour grapes with a glance before starting with the news. "The town of Covell is only a mile from our camp and has had a sighting of Retribution," he said.

Because power was not just influence. It was consequence. --- Lucas burst into the room, tension written across his face. “We have a problem.” Adrian sighed. “Define problem.” Lucas activated the central display. “The containment strikes worked—but only partially. Several exposed hubs were abandoned before our teams arrived.” Elena turned sharply. “Evacuated?” “Precisely,” Lucas replied. “They anticipated our response window.” Adrian’s jaw tightened. “So they sacrificed facilities.” “To protect leadership,” Elena finished quietly.
