The werewolf was grappling with disbelief, but deep down, he knew the truth was undeniable, especially with the steady rhythm of his uncle's heartbeat echoing in his ears. It was a moment filled with raw emotion, and Derek felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him like a heavy fog.
Now, instead of just focusing on saving Cora, Derek found himself in a position where he had to protect three lives. Desperate times called for bold actions, and after Peter managed to recover from the onslaught of punches, he revealed to Derek that there was indeed a way to save Cora. In a selfless act, Derek transferred his alpha strength to his little sister, which meant he had to step down to beta status. This sacrifice left him weakened, and Cora was now doing her best to help him regain some strength by encouraging him to drink water.
After what felt like an eternity of excruciating waiting to regain his strength, Derek finally reached his breaking point. With thoughts of his girl fueling his determination, he pushed himself up from the ground. Just as he regained his footing, a young werewolf entered the loft, but this time he was alone, without his twin brother by his side.
Ethan wasted no time in delivering the grim news. "We know about the lunar eclipse, so don't think Kali's gonna sit around waiting for it to level the playing field. She's coming, and my brother's coming with her," he said, standing firm in front of the Hale descendants, with Lydia at his side. Ethan was fully aware of the deadly plan that revolved around Kali's chance to take Derek down after he had killed Ennis, and he was eager to lend a hand. Meanwhile, Peter, sensing Derek's stubbornness to stay and confront the Alpha pack, urged him with urgency, "Derek, I want you to run, sprint, gallop, leap your way the hell out of this town,"
"I'm not leaving without her," Derek's voice was low and fierce as he faced his uncle, making it clear that he wasn't going anywhere without Morgan. He had already experienced the pain of losing her once, and he was determined not to let that happen again. The three teenagers around them exchanged puzzled glances, completely unaware of Morgan's sudden return. Meanwhile, the two Hale men kept their lips sealed about the situation, especially since their friend's parents were also missing. Derek's priority was crystal clear: if it came down to it, he would rush to save Morgan before even considering the safety of the adults.
Peter, however, was adamant that he could manage the situation on his own. He insisted that Cora and Derek should leave Beacon Hills, pushing them away from the chaos that was unfolding. But as Derek slid into his car, his mind was laser-focused on one thing: finding Morgan. He drove around aimlessly, hoping to catch a glimpse of Scott or Stiles, but both of their phones were off, leaving him feeling increasingly frustrated. Just when he was about to lose it and bang his head against the steering wheel, a piercing scream cut through the air—it was Lydia, and it sent a chill down his spine.
