Episode 69.

"If we don't try, we'll never know if we can defeat it. We must face the monster; everyone should be prepared," Dean insisted. Just then, the warning bell rang, indicating the monster's arrival. They looked at each other, and Dean smiled bravely.

"Let's all be careful as we face this together. Your safety is important, so please stay alive," Dean said, looking at Max.

"Take the water and follow me," he directed, leading the way. Max grabbed the bottle of water and hurried after him, with the rest following closely behind.

"Stay here, Gwen," Olivia instructed, but Gwen shook her head in refusal.

"No, I'm coming with you," Gwen insisted, meeting Olivia's gaze with determination.

Olivia leaned in and gave Gwen a tender kiss, her hand resting on her cheek. "Please be safe out there," Olivia whispered, to which Gwen nodded in agreement. In the distance, the sounds of approaching conflict grew louder.

Outside The House.

Outside, the air was thick with smoke from burning fires, and some members of the pack lay wounded on the ground as part of the house began to catch fire.

A few wolf warriors wielded fire as a weapon against the beast; these were the first to engage the creature before it turned its attention to the gammas, who had only their bare hands to defend themselves.

The guards stationed to protect the area were the first to face the monster, and none of them survived to recount the encounter.

The remaining gammas formed a circle, each with a determined expression on their face, relying on their keen senses and night vision to detect the approaching beast through the smoke.

Despite the thick smoke, they persevered, scanning the area until one of them spotted the monster advancing towards them. Before he could react, the beast's claws tore through his chest, spurring the others to launch an attack.

The monster toyed with them like a cruel game, moving swiftly as it incapacitated one werewolf by the leg, sending him crashing onto the ground before using another as a weapon against the rest, leaving them injured and terrified.

His wound was a unique vulnerability for werewolves since they couldn't heal with their healing abilities.

Even a slight touch of the injury could prove fatal, spreading rapidly throughout their bodies. The infection spread swiftly.

As the beast finished handling them, it suddenly halted, its eyes shimmering with moonlight.
In that instant, a few of them managed to catch a glimpse of it. Previously, they had only seen a blur of light due to its rapid movements.

One of the gammas quickly sprang to his feet and charged at the monster, but the creature swiftly turned and struck, tearing the gamma's guts apart.

"No!!!" A deep voice resounded from the side, catching the attention of the beast. It turned to see the alphas swiftly approaching with determined strides.

The beast's eyes gleamed with newfound energy as it charged towards them. Dean was the first to face the beast, but his own strength allowed him to evade the creature's attack. The beast's claws, instead, found their mark on the neck of the next Alpha in line.

As the alphas paused, unable to locate the beast, it swiftly reappeared, lunging from a hidden corner. With a swift motion, it seized Alpha Williams by the throat and forcefully slammed him into the wall.

"Ah!" he groaned loudly as the beast flung him across the room, slamming him into the wall. Then, Max rushed in just as the beast grabbed him and tore into his stomach with his claws.

"No!" Dean groaned in anger as he snatched the water bottle that slipped from Max's hand and charged at the beast. The beast caught him effortlessly, squeezing his hand as the bottle tumbled to the ground.

Suddenly, the beast took off with Dean, dragging him across the floor before Mula intervened. The beast swiftly confronted Mula, pinning him against the wall, ready to sink its fangs into his neck when Ryan rushed in to intervene.

Then, the monster hurled Mula across the room, slamming his head into the wall. In a swift motion, the beast snatched Ryan from the air and sank its fangs into his neck, draining his blood and leaving him lifeless on the floor.

Dean picked up a piece of glass from the ground and stabbed the beast in the leg. The creature let out a loud howl, then seized Dean in a fit of rage.

With a menacing expression, it ruthlessly attacked him and massacred his whole body with it's fangs, leaving him bleeding all over. At that moment, Olivia and her friend rushed in, only to find everyone else incapacitated except for them.

Spotting her father lying motionless on the ground nearby, Olivia hurried to his side. "Daddy, are you alright? Please, talk to me!" she cried, tears welling up in her eyes as she feared the worst. Just as she turned to face the beast...

The creature lunged at her, delivering a powerful blow that sent her crashing into the wall. "No, Olivia!" Gwen screamed, tears streaming down her face, as panic set in while the beast advanced towards Olivia, step by step.

Backed against the monster, Olivia struggled to crawl away, groaning in pain. The beast closed in on her, raising its hands as if to strike, but then hesitated immediately he turned her face to himself, gazing at her intently.

Surprised by the sudden pause, Olivia watched as the beast slowly released her, a strange transformation overcoming it. It seemed as if a dark force was leaving its body, and then, with a sudden clarity, it looked at Olivia.

"Adam?" Olivia called out, catching a glimpse of his humanity returning. Meanwhile, Gwen, still fearing for Olivia's safety, noticed the water bottle nearby and grabbed it, ready to defend her friend at a moment's notice.

As she rushed towards the beast, she frantically grabbed the bottle of water and doused it on him. "Get away from my friend!" she screamed, watching as the creature roared in agony.

"No! No! What have you done?! That's Adam!" Olivia shouted, rising to her feet and rushing towards the monster. All that remained of it was a pile of ashes on the floor, the water having burnt it away.

"No! No!" Olivia cried out in anguish as she gathered the ashes. Those who hadn't fought alongside them began to stepping out of their hidden places - Elena, Elisa, Jared. Among the survivors were Alpha Williams and Mula, standing behind, watching Olivia weep bitterly.

They all observed, puzzled by her tears, except for Gwen, who understood. She knew that Adam must have transformed into the monster seeking revenge for what had been done to his family and he has.

And now that Adam has been defeated, the other werewolves were now free to begin anew. Gwen approached Olivia, offering her comfort as she embraced her.
