• “Retreat! Fall back!” Alpha Stefan bellowed from his horse, his voice cutting through the clamor of battle. Kavian had successfully distracted his brothers, and now there was a narrow opening—enough for his men to pull back toward the gates, even if it was only a temporary reprieve.
• His beta, Marcel, still locked in combat, heard the command and finished off his opponent with swift precision before shouting the order louder, ensuring the message carried over the chaos.
