Derek Hale/Relationships

The relationships of Derek Hale from Teen Wolf. 
== Familial ==
=== Eli Hale ===
Eli Hale was born sometime between "The Wolves of War" and Teen Wolf: The Movie to Derek Hale and an unidentified woman. When Eli was three years old, he met Derek's old friend, Scott McCall. However this was The last time they saw each other before Scott moved to Los Angeles with his boss Alan Deaton. Growing up in Beacon Hills, Derek told Eli stories about his adventures, including how Peter bit Scott and started the events.
When Eli was very young and was playing in the floor of his house, wild coyotes attacked their home. Derek shape shifted in front of his son and as a werewolf, used his dominance over animals with a powerful roar. Eli was, fairly, traumatized by this and therefore refused to accept his werewolf heritage. He was even afraid that he was one of the Hales who did not inherit the lycanthropy from Derek as well. Instead of being invested in his supernatural heritage, Eli developed an affinity with lacrosse and often stole Stiles' Jeep. 
Before his death, Derek entrusts Scott watch over his son because Scott is the Alpha and Eli is his Beta before his sacrifice to kill the Nogitsune once and for all to ensure his friends' and family's safety. After vanquishing the Oni with the Nogitsune being incinerated along with Derek by Parrish, Eli was devastated the most. At his father's funeral, Noah Stilinski gave Eli the keys to Stiles' Jeep because Derek had a complicated relationship with its previous owner. Having rekindled her relationship with Scott, Allison moved to Los Angeles with him and the couple considered adopting and raising Eli, who had formed a bond with Scott during their brief return to Beacon Hills. 
=== Scott McCall===
Scott is one of Derek's closest friends and protege. He eventually became Scott's mentor which eventually becomes a brotherly bond, not so different from Derek's relationships with his sisters or Scott's friendships with Stiles and Liam. Cold individuals like Peter noticed the bond between Scott and Derek, briefly stating that Derek relied on their friendship more than he realized and how similar they were. 
However, when Derek and Scott first met each other in the woods at a portion of the Preserve near the Hale house, they were wary of each other due to Derek's mysterious past and return to Beacon Hills. After saving the young Werewolf from Hunters, Scott blamed Derek for giving him the Bite and ruining his date with Allison his new transformation; however, the older Werewolf told Scott that the Bite is both a gift and what bonded them as Werewolf brothersWolf Moon. He kept an eye on Scott from a distance, threatened him numerous times and often stayed in the shadows. Despite these threats, Derek insisted that he was only trying to help the latter, who refused to believe it. He also disapproved of Scott and Allison's relationship due to them being on opposing sides and Derek's romantic past with KateAs shown in "Magic Bullet" and "Shape Shifted", Derek voiced his opinions against Scott's and Allison's relationship. It is further implied that it has to do with Derek's past romance with Kate, which was revealed in "Formality." . Derek was further annoyed with Scott and Stiles when they got him arrested and alerted the Hunters of his presence. Despite this, Derek empathized with Scott when he initially thought that he killed Mr. Meyers, the bus driver, and told him how to retrieve his memories from the night before. Even though this helped, Scott still believed that Derek was his sire and that he murdered his sister until he fully recovered the memory of Peter attacking the bus driver and Derek told him that the Alpha was the one who turned himPack Mentality. After Kate Argent shot him with Wolfsbane, Derek went to Scott for help, who reluctantly helped him due to their reliance on each other. 
After telling Scott that the Argents were responsible for causing the fire and putting Peter in a catatonic state, Scott reluctantly accepted Derek's help and the older Werewolf trained him to control his transformations. However, the older of the two found it hard mentoring him, because a bitten Werewolf has trouble containing their temper compared to a naturally born one, even forcing him to break off contact with Allison or any more distractions in his lifeHeart Monitor. Scott only got further irritated by Derek when he kept the secrecy and thought they moved past this. During his second Full Moon, Derek reluctantly fought Scott when he lost his temper upon seeing Allison and Jackson together and the Hale Werewolf successfully got Scott to stop. Derek carried Scott home, where the younger male asked if there was a cure for lycanthropy. Unsure of if it would work, Derek admitted that he would have to kill the Alpha if Scott ever wanted to become human again. After seeing him conflicted, Derek promised Scott that if he helped him find the Alpha, they would kill him.Co-CaptainsHowever, this agreement fell through when Scott learned that Peter was the Alpha and Derek joined his uncle's side. Seeing this as a betrayal, Scott tried reminding Derek that Peter was the one who killed Laura, but this didn't work until Af Scott successfully proved to Derek that Peter lured Laura to Beacon Hills so he could steal her powers. The Hale Werewolf officially sided with Scott's still forming pack and helped him save Allison from Peter after the latter killed Kate. After Peter was taken down after being severely burned by their molotov cocktail, Scott stopped Derek from killing Peter because he needed him to reverse the effects of his lycanthropy. 
While Derek hesitated after hearing Scott's pleas for a cure, it wasn't enough for him to refrain from killing Peter. Upon his uncle's death, Derek proclaimed himself as the Alpha, pushing Scott to distance himself from his former mentor. During Derek's reign as the new Alpha and leader of the Supernatural community, Scott kept his distance from his former mentor until they were reunited in the woods yet again. He attempted to recruit Scott into his pack on numerous occasions, such as forcing him to watch Gerard bisect a werewolf in half, turning Erica Reyes, Isaac Lahey and Vernon Boyd into his new Betas and sending Erica to seduce Scott away from Allison. However, Derek's mission to recruit Scott took a turn for the worst when he went after Lydia after mistaking her for being the Kanima. During the skirmish at the McCall house, Derek finally realized that Scott cut refusing him because he was already an alpha of his own pack, which only consisted of him, Allison and Stiles at the time. It was only after Erica getting hurt that caused Scott to finally join Derek's pack on the condition that they do not kill Jackson. When Victoria poisoned Scott, Derek was willing to break from their mission to capture The Kanima Master just to save Scott. Their relationship fell through once again when Derek caught Scott talking to Gerard outside the police station. This was a betrayal to the Alpha and marked the beginning of the end for the Hale Pack. However, Scott was secretly replacing his cancer pills with Mountain Ash capsules so he could reject the Werewolf Bite from Derek. During a final confrontation with Gerard, Scott never told Derek about this because he never considered him to be his Alpha to begin with. 
In the following months, the relationship between Scott and Derek was strained at best due a lack of trust to their past grievances with each other. He refrained himself from asking Scott and Stiles' help finding Erica and Boyd so his former Beta could have a normal teenage life after pressuring Scott the previous seasons. However, Scott and Derek were forced to work together a few months later if they were going to face the Alpha Pack and the Darach, AKA Jennifer Blake. During the skirmish at the abandoned mall, Derek anticipated for Scott's approach to a peaceful response to Deucalion's pack. After watching Scott ascend as a True Alpha, the loss of his powers, and consulting with his mother's spirit, Derek is amazed and speechless by Scott's feats. Derek strove to be a more kind and compassionate mentor towards Scott and the rest of the McCall Pack, successfully repairing their broken relationship. He would also come to respect Scott's and the Pack's "no kill" rule because it was similar to the Hales' "predators, not killers" montra. 
During the Werewolf-Monroe War, Derek decided to return to Beacon Hills when he learned that Kate Argent was still planning her revenge against Scott and his pack by stealing yellow wolfsbane from the North Carolina Hale vault. He reunited with Scott and helped him and and their packmates in fending off Monroe and her followers before rejoining their packmates. While Scott was devastated by Deucalion's passing, he turned to Derek, who he had not seen in nearly a year and a half since La Iglesia, for comfort. The two shared a brief reunion and brotherly embrace until it was broken up by Peter. During their meeting at the Beacon Hills clinic, the pack discussed their way to defeat the Anuk-ite, a demonic spirit that fed off of people's fears. Derek was impressed that despite their years of hardship, Scott had not lost his optimism or his dedication in saving Jackson and the rest of Beacon Hills. When Tamora shot Scott with yellow Wolfsbane that Kate stole from the Hale vault, Derek carried him to the science room, where he cured him by burning the Wolfsbane out of him. He left to protect an unconscious Scott and went to face the Anuk-ite by himself; when Scott woke up, he found a petrified Derek Hale and became more motivated to kill the Anuk-ite and restore those who were petrified, including Derek. Two years after the second war, Derek was still a member of the McCall pack and helping Scott with Monroe's ever growing threats in the supernatural world at large. 
In Teen Wolf: The Movie, Derek and Scott were reunited after twelve years of separation when he saw his friend and brother figure down on the floor after a brawl with a recently resurrected Allison. Near the end of the battle, Derek entrusts Scott watch over his son because Scott is the Alpha and Eli is his Beta before his sacrifice to kill the Nogitsune once and for all to ensure his friends' and family's safety. Out of all the Pack members, Scott and Eli were the most devastated. During Derek's memorial service, Scott gave a eulogy for his mentor, acknowledging that he and Derek truly were brothers that night Derek told him they were all those years ago in the woods. He also confirmed that Derek taught him that familial bonds can be formed by choice, not blood. 
=== Talia Hale===
=== Laura Hale===
===Peter Hale===
Uncle
According to Peter Hale, he and Derek were each other's "best friends and confidantes." Despite their rather distant relationship, Peter and Derek may have been close at one point. Peter also helped Derek control his powers in the full moon and taught him to use anger as an anchor. Peter even saved his life from an Argent hunter but for currently unknown reasons. However, due to Peter's conniving nature, he found ways to manipulate his nephew. This was demonstrated when Peter saw Derek's romance blossom with the human girl Paige Krasikeva. The older Werewolf convinced Derek that Paige would leave Derek if she ever found out about the Werewolf community. He conspired with Ennis to make her a Werewolf; however, Paige ended up dying after rejecting the bite. Peter was forced to leave her body on the Beacon Hills Preserve, where the sheriff ruled her death as an accident.
After the Hale family fire killed their entire family and Peter was left in critical condition, Derek believed his uncle to be catatonic for years. However, with each full moon, Peter got stronger and he conspired to have Laura lured to Beacon Hills. There, Peter killed Laura and stole her Alpha power. Derek returned to Beacon Hills and worked with Peter's Beta, Scott McCall in hunting down the Alpha. He finally realized Peter was the Alpha after Stiles found both Peter and his nurse, Jennifer were gone. After coming out of the coma, Peter manipulated Derek into joining the pack. Scott revealed to Derek that Peter purposefully killed Laura and had been lying to him the whole time. The former Hale decided to help Scott defeat Peter Hale once and for all. After he had been critically injured by the Molokhov cocktails, Derek murdered his uncle, avenging Laura and stealing his Alpha powers
With his uncle dead, Derek no longer saw him as a threat; somehow, the Werewolves and hunters found a way to covered up Peter's murders, and lay the blame on Kate Argent so they could protect everyone involved. Unknown to Derek at the time, Peter's spirit had latched onto Lydia Martin, a young female Banshee whose powers were activated earlier due to his bite. From beyond the grave, Peter manipulated his own resurrection by mind-controlling Lydia into helping him get resurrected. After this resurrection, Peter helped Derek control his powers and defeat the Kanima while helping him find Boyd and Erica. Throughout Season 3, Peter bided his time by manipulating the entire McCall Pack so he could become the Alpha again, somehow. After he attempts to kill Scott, Derek helps the Pack subdue Peter and has him imprisoned in Eichen House.
They became reluctant allies once again when they helped the McCall pack defeat Monroe, her army, and Gerard Argent's forces. Peter started changing for the better due to their love for his daughter Malia and he became an ally who came and went as he pleased.
Despite their animosity towards each other, Peter saved Derek's life by cauterizing a wound in his throat with a blowtorch. However, in a way, Peter found this to be somewhat justified because Derek had previously cured him of his wolfsbane poisoning by burning it out with a blow torch. He later went after Allison Argent (when she was possessed by the Nogitsune) after she poisoned both his nephew and his great-nephew. Later, Derek gave his life to save all of his family and friends by permanently destroying the Nogitsune. Despite their strained relationship, Peter was shocked by Derek's death and attended his memorial service, clearly affected by his death and showing that Peter did care about his nephew, albeit in his twisted way. 
===Malia Tate===
Maternal cousin through Peter
During January 2012, Malia accompanied her pack mates, Scott McCall, Kira Yukimura, Lydia Martin and her boyfriend Stiles to rescue Derek Hale from Kate Argent after believing the Calaveras abducted him.
In 117, Malia accompanied Scott to the Hale loft and learn information from Peter about Kate deaging Derek to an age where he trusted her. Malia realized that Kate had no control over her shape-shifting and that she was using Derek so he can opened the Hale vault and retrieve the Hale Triskelion, believing it to have magical properties. Later, after being transformed back into his adult self, Derek saved his cousin, and his friends, Scott and Kira.
In "Orphaned," Malia and Derek worked together to find the rest of Satomi Ito's pack. He needed her due to the eight years she spent living at the Beacon Hills Reserve as a full coyote. They ended up finding Braeden instead.
In "Weaponized," Malia finally figured out she was a Hale by looking at the hitlist listing her as "Malia Hale." She realized that the Tastes were not her biological family as she previously thought she that Peter was her biological father and that meant she was Derek's cousin.
===Cora Hale===
==Friendships==
===Stiles Stilinski===
Stiles is one of Derek's good friends, but it didn't start that way. Derek was further annoyed with Scott and Stiles when they got him arrested and alerted the Hunters of his presence. Despite Derek never hesitated to protect the boys from danger or harm. Stiles was instrumental in Derek's ascension to an Alpha when he, Allison, and Jackson came to Scott and Derek's aid and successfully burned Peter with Molotov cocktails. While Stiles initially approved of Derek's reasons for turning people such as Erica into werewolves, he quickly changed his mind when Scott reminded him that Derek was loosely putting a target on all of their backs. 
During the conflict between the McCall Pack members and the army established by Gerard Argent and Tamora Monroe, Derek and Stiles joined their packmates in fending off Monroe and her followers before rejoining their packmates. Shortly after, Deucalion sustained numerous gunshot wounds whilst teaching Scott and Malia Tate in how to fight blind against the Anuk-ite, a fear-inducing shapeshifter partially responsible for the creation of the Hunter Army. While they work together, Stiles and Derek returned to their friendly bantering with one another as if nothing changed between the two and bringing the pack back to old times. Stiles got annoyed when Derek tainted his entrance and when his friend disproved his obviously fabricated rescue story. 
===Chris Argent===
Chris and Derek used to be enemies due to their long-time family feud, as the Argents were Hunters and the Hales were Werewolves. Revenge and violence were a recurring cycle between the two families that needed to break off. It took a turn for the worse when Argent's younger sister manipulated Derek into a relationship and killed the entire Hale family with it. In season 2, Derek accidentally bit Victoria when he was trying to save Scott and she committed suicide as per the hunter code. However, they later became friends when Derek shielded him from shards of glass after a bomb went off. 
For the remaining seasons of the series, they grew to become good friends. In Season 4, Chris was the first of Derek's friends to learn that he was slowly losing his powers and abilities. Argent is likely trying to make up to Derek for everything his family did to them and become something of a father figure to the young Werewolf. 
In the final episodes of the sixth and final season, Argent went to North Carolina to bring Derek to the war occurring in Beacon Hills between Scott and his packmates and Tamora Monroe and Gerard's Hunter Army. In the revival 2023 movie, Argent was saddened when Derek sacrificed himself to ensure the Nogitsune's permanent death and went to his memorial service afterward.
===Allison Argent===
Due to the feud between the Argents and the Hales, Derek has a complicated relationship with Allison. He rarely trusts her and blames her family for his family's misfortune. Despite this, Derek helped Scott protect and rescue Allison from Peter Hale when he was about to kill her or turn her. He also disapproves of her relationship with Scott, and insists that the two break up due to Derek's past romance and later enmity with Kate. She was also instrumental in Derek becoming an Alpha when she fired an arrow at the Molotov Cocktail Jackson and Stiles made attempted to throw. She also helped him break Isaac Lahey out of prison before one of the Argent hunters killed him while he was locked in the sheriff station. It gets only worse when Derek threatens Lydia's life and later, unintentionally gives her mother the Bite. However, Allison (unfairly) blamed him for her mother's suicide acting like Derek was the one who killed Victoria. However, she remained unaware that her mother had been trying to kill Scott that night and wouldn't learn about it until late August / early September. 
Though there was friction between the two, they became reluctant allies, at least for Scott's sake. With the threat of Darach, the Nogitsune, and the Alpha Pack, they became tenacious allies due to Scott finally telling Allison the truth behind her mom's bite. Despite their rivalry, Allison felt remorseful for her actions against the Hale Pack, assisting Derek and the pack with flashbang arrows during the site with the alpha pack in the abandoned minimall. She also tried assuring Scott that Derek's death was not his fault. Derek was shocked and saddened about her death and wanted to avenge her like the rest of the pack. He ultimately succeeded by aiding in imprisoning the Nogitsune and killing his Oni minions.
In Teen Wolf: The Movie, set fifteen years after the original series, an American Allison was accidentally restored and brought back to life by Scott, Lydia, and Malia. She remembered her family's rivalry and hatred towards the Hales and Derek's role in her mother's suicide, causing her to attack Eli and Derek at the high school. Derek cornered Allison and pinned her to the wall. When he recognized her, Derek was confused by her resurrection, as Allison died back in 2011. This gave her enough time to stab Derek with her wolfsbane and leave him for dead. In the final battle, Scott and Lydia restore Allison's memories, helping her remember who she was and becoming allies with Derek once again. The Pack and their allies came together, destroying the Nogitsune and the Oni but at the cost of Derek's life. Allison was shocked by her former rival's sacrifice. Despite their past rivalry, Allison honored her packmate by attending his memorial service and started a new life with Scott and Eli in Los Angeles.
===Isaac Lahey===
Former Packmates; Former Alpha-Beta Bond
Isaac was the second Beta Werewolf created by Derek Hale and the first to join his pack after he was rejected by both his first Beta, Jackson Whittemore, and his protege Scott McCall. While Derek was desperate to build his pack, Derek, in a way, took pity on Isaac, especially because he was constantly abused by his father at home. Derek (who, unbeknownst to anyone, was in a hurry to build a pack to gain power and defend himself against the Alpha Pack, who were about to head to Beacon Hills) was forced to team up with fellow Werewolf Scott McCall and his human best friend Stiles Stilinski to break Isaac out of jail during his first Full Moon as a Werewolf when he was accused of killing Mr. Lahey.
Since Isaac's personality often reflected the Alpha he was with, Isaac became just as ruthless as Derek, intimidating both Scott and Stiles. Isaac initially followed Derek"'s every word and showed a willingness to kill Lydia if necessary if she turned out to be the Kanima. However, Isaac struggled to keep up with Derek and began questioning his training methods. As time went on, Isaac started directing his attention to Scott while remaining at Derek's side. Isaac was also the only one of Derek's Betas who gained control of his inner wolf during the full moon. After the Kanima's defeat, Isaac went to live with Derek in his loft and helped him find the missing Boyd and Erica. As the Alphas started targeting Derek's Betas, the older Werewolf kicked Isaac out of his loft by exhibiting the same abusive behavior as Isaac's father Mr. Lahey by throwing a glass at the boy's head.
Even though Isaac was fostered by Melissa and Scott, tension between Isaac and Derek continued as a result of this fight continued to linger for some time. Despite the tension between the two, Isaac and Boyd worked together to protect Derek from the Alpha Pack, but to no avail as it resulted in Boyd's death. However, Isaac had enough of Derek constantly putting himself before everyone and not doing anything to help him and the Pack, other than sit there and watch Cora die. As a result, Isaac joined the McCall Pack instead. However, after Derek sacrificed his Alpha Spark to cure Cora, Isaac and Derek repaired their broken friendship until Allison's second death.
===Alan Deaton ===
===Noah Stilinski ===
===Jackson Whittemore ===
However, Scott and Derek were overpowered and Peter was nearly unstoppable until Stiles and Jackson came to their allies' aid.
===Erica Reyes===
===Vernon Boyd===
===Satomi Ito===
=== Liam Dunbar===
=== Kira Yukimura ===
Former Packmate/Good Friend
Derek and Kira rarely interacted in the series, but as Cora Hale suggests, losing a packmate is like losing a limb, indicating that their pack is what keeps them connected as well as their mutual friendship with Scott.
At first, Kira hears Derek howling while she is hanging out with Scott on the balcony. Though they are first seen together at the loft on Halloween Night when the Oni attack, they do not interact until the next day. Derek concerned that the Nogitsune would target Scott and Kira next, followed his mentee all day and came to their rescue. In "Silverfinger," Derek easily recognizes Kira as a Kitsune because the younger ones have difficulty shielding their auras. When Derek came into the room with her, Ethan, and Aiden, the werewolf told the twins and Kira herself that she was a Kitsune. Due to his lack of trust in the Twins, and Aiden's more hot-tempered personality, Derek came into the room, potentially hoping to stop the hot-headed twin from hurting Kira. In "Riddled," Derek asks for Kira's help in finding out if the Nogitsune took over Stiles' body. They find Stiles' bat at the treatment plant and Derek suspects that Kira's firefox powers inadvertently made the Nogitsune take over Stiles' body completely. In "Letharia Vulpina," Kira saves Scott, Derek, and the citizens at the hospital by capping a rouge power wire and using her Thunder Kitsune powers in front of the boys, much to her boyfriend's amazement.
In Season Four, Kira goes with the rest of her pack to Mexico to rescue Derek Hale who they believe was kidnapped by the Calavera family. However, their true enemy was Kate and the group was able to save Derek while he was temporarily trapped in teen form. The two of them later fight side by side defending Satomi Ito and her pack from Argent Hunters. Another noticeable improvement in Derek is him supporting Scott’s newfound relationship with Kira after realizing he was wrong about Scott and Allison's previous relationship. He allowed them to have their date in his loft in "A Promise to the Dead." Unfortunately, in this episode, Kate attacks the couple in the loft, kidnapping the two teenagers and taking them back to La Iglesia. Realizing Scott and Kira are in trouble, Derek goes with the rest of the pack to Mexico, even though he is already losing his powers and Lydia’s banshee warnings that he is fated to die soon. In "Smoke and Mirrors," Derek is wounded and he tells the pack to continue with their mission and save their packmates. Unknown to them, Kate turned Scott into a Berserker and forced him to stab Kira to prove his loyalty to the Argent huntress. With Kira and Derek severely injured, the latter soon dies afterwards, Derek is brought back to life and he evolves into a Werewolf who can shift into an actual wolf. Meanwhile, Kira can heal herself and warn the pack that Scott is the Berserker.
Derek left to help Braeden search for her arch-nemesis, the Desert Wolf, making this the last time Kira and Derek saw each other. Ironically, Kira would depart from her home a season later to train with the Skinwalkers after the Dread Doctors. Though Derek returned to help the Pack in 2013, Kira did not.
==Former Enemies==
=== Deucalion ===
Due to his status as the newest Hale Alpha and son of Deucalion's old friend Talia Hale, Derek attracted the attention of Deucalion, who returned to Beacon Hills to recruit Derek to his Alpha Pack. Unbeknownst to Derek, the rest of the Beacon Hills Packs, and the audience at first, Deucalion believed Derek's membership would facilitate the membership of his protege Scott, who was a young Omega with the potential to become a very rare True Alpha, the rarest type of Alpha in existence. Deucalion started his plan to recruit Derek by kidnapping two of his new Betas, Boyd and Erica, as well as his long-lost younger sister Cora by holding them captive for the whole summer of 2011. Throughout the first half of the third season, Deucalion and his subordinates had many confrontations with Derek and his Betas, with Derek ending up losing both Boyd and Erica to the malicious Alphas. However, Derek did not appear frightened of Deucalion and labeled him a "fanatic". Deucalion went so far as to kill his packmate Ennis to manipulate Ennis' presumed lover Kali into thinking that he had died from wounds inflicted by Derek, giving her the motivation necessary to make her even more committed to the mission.
A few nights later, before the evening's lunar eclipse, Jennifer Blake convinced Derek to help her get revenge on Deucalion because it was the Alpha's influence over Kali that caused her former friend to maul her and leave her for dead. Derek, at first, refused until Jennifer reminded him that Scott was with Deucalion and he could save his mother, Melissa, and Stiles's father. When the lunar eclipse arrived, Deucalion would have been killed by Jennifer had Derek not come up with a way to stop her. He tricked her into healing Deucalion's eyesight so he would see the repercussions of his ambition to create the perfect Alpha Pack, which she did. Little Jennifer did know that such an act would drain most of her strength and she attacked Derek for deceiving and betraying her. Jennifer's Mountain Ash defense was ultimately broken by Scott during his ascension to True Alpha status, which seemed to help Deucalion return to his original kind and peaceful personality. After incapacitating Jennifer, Derek, and Scott elected to let Deucalion walk free but threatened to come after him if he continued to wreak havoc. Deucalion ultimately returned to being the "man of vision" seen by Derek's mother Talia and exhibited his gratitude by sending the mercenary Braeden to rescue Derek and his uncle Peter from the Calavera Hunters' captivity.
In Season 6, a war escalated between the supernatural community and Tamora Monroe and Gerard Argent. Derek and Stiles join their packmates in fending off Monroe and her followers before rejoining their packmates during Deucalion's last moments of life. He sustained numerous gunshot wounds whilst teaching Scott and Derek's cousin, Malia how to fight blind against the Anuk-ite. Despite his wounds, the former Alpha Pack leader gave Scott, Derek, and their packmates the motivation to take down the Anuk-ite and Gerard and Tamora's forces before succumbing to his wounds, much to Derek's and the Pack's shock.
== Enemies==
=== Gerard Argent===
=== Kali===
Kali was without a doubt one of Derek's most memorable opponents. In every single one of their fights, she managed to gain the upper hand against him, thanks to her Augmented Alpha powers, greater skill in combat, and years of experience and their rivalry intensified when she became the one to kill two of his Betas. 
*First, she murdered Erica Reyes when the younger Beta tried to escape the Alphas' captivity.
* She forced Derek to impale Vernon Boyd in his claws, causing Derek to take Boyd's life and powers as the first step to his initiation into the Alpha Pack.
*And she threatened to kill all of Derek's family and remaining pack members on numerous occasions.
Kali grew to blame Derek for the death of her packmate and lover Ennis, unaware that he had been murdered by Deucalion, who used Ennis' death as a tactic to give Kali the motivation needed to force Derek's decision. Despite Marin Morrell's confession of the truth, Kali continued to blame Derek for Ennis' passing until she was eventually killed by her own former Emissary and Derek's former love interest, Darach Jennifer Blake.
In the end, they were arch-rivals and nemesis. 
===Ennis===
Before Kali, Derek had a personal history with Ennis because he was the Werewolf who had bitten Derek's late girlfriend Paige Krasikeva.
