You can't protect people from someone if all you do is make them promise not to come back. Your friends, family and town are not the only goddamn people in the world, Scott, and if you are truly a hero you can't limit your protection to them.

I was under the impression that you can't kill on the road to true alpha status, but then once you cross that line you're good. At the point where you become a true alpha without killing, you've proven that you will only do it after taking great care to ensure that there is no other way. Yep, you cannot kill anyone until you are a true alpha, so while you are not yet one, if you kill someone you destroy the possibility of becoming a true alpha. But once you become one, killing is fine.
