At the same time I imagine Adam was not as ruthless as he was when Blake first met him. Just as she would been hardened by her time in the White Fang, so too would Adam and for her to see him showing such disregard for innocent life makes the severity all the more poignant. For Blake it would be like seeing the person she would become if she stayed. Thus leaving would be as much about saving her soul as it would be anything else. This, of course, begs the question of exactly how Adam became so ruthless in the first place. There's the obvious explanation, which says that it just gradually came about from his time in the White Fang. He just kept making little concessions to his darker side, trying to convince himself that it will ultimately be justified.

Then, there's the Moonslice theory,which states that Adam's lack of morality can be traced to the excessive use of Moonslice. This really depends on just what kind of power Moonslice is. I would imagine it isn't one of Adam's 'normal' abilities, given how he has to charge it up, and that Blake's reaction to it was "Are you sure!?", so I think we can logically assume it comes with some sort of cost. While I think this could be implemented really well, I would honestly prefer the simple explanation, since it makes Adam more relatable.
