Chapter 20: The Looming Threat
The air in the loft was tense, charged with a potent mix of fear and determination. The group, now a unified pack, sat around a worn, wooden table, the maps of Beacon Hills spread out between them like a tactical chessboard. The Alpha was a ticking clock, and they had to move.
"We have to stop them," Scott said, his voice a raw, desperate thing. "Before they hurt anyone else."
"We can't kill them," Stiles said, his voice a quiet, resolute thing. "They're… a victim. We can't just kill them."
Derek, who had been a silent, brooding presence, looked at Stiles, and a new, grudging respect was in his eyes. "They're a threat. They're a danger. They're a monster. We have to do what we have to do."
Adam, who had been silent, was listening, his mind a torrent of information. He knew who the Alpha was. He knew what they were capable of. And he knew that the old, canon plan wouldn't work. It was too reckless. Too dangerous. It would only lead to more death.
"We have to save them," Adam said, his voice a low, firm thing. "Not kill them."
Derek scoffed, a dry, humorless sound. "You sound like a hero. We're not heroes. We're survivors."
"We can be both," Adam said, his eyes meeting Derek's. "The Alpha is not just a monster. They're a person. A person who was broken by their own family. And we can fix that." He had to convince them. He had to make them believe. He had to be a leader, not just a mimic.
He laid out his plan. It was risky. It was dangerous. It involved using the locket as a lure, and then, in a moment of vulnerability, using the power of the pack to… to do what he couldn't say. To save them. To heal them.

The System's words were a cold, clinical announcement, but to Adam, it was a lifeline. A new ability. A new chance. This wasn't just a coincidence. This was the universe, or the System, giving them a chance. They had the power to not just survive, but to win. To save.
The group, after a tense, emotional conversation, agreed to the plan. They were a true pack now, united by a shared, dangerous mission. They would not kill the Alpha. They would save them. They would be heroes.
The group walked into the night, their steps a quiet, unified rhythm. The Alpha was a ticking clock, a looming threat. But they were ready. They were a pack. And they were going to save a monster, even if it meant risking everything.
