**The relationship between Evolved True Alpha Werewolf Derek Hale and Beta Werewolf Liam Dunbar**

Liam met Derek Hale shortly after he had been bitten and turned by Scott McCall into his first Beta Werewolf. Derek decided to test Liam and purposely broke a lacrosse stick that Liam believed to be his to infuriate him. Being older and more experienced, Derek easily held Liam in a choke-hold until Scott's arrival calmed the young Beta down, though Derek agreed with Scott when the latter informed him that Liam was exceptionally strong for a neophyte Werewolf due to his Intermittent Explosive Disorder allowing him to use his anger to increase his strength.

Despite their tense first meeting, Derek was called by Stiles Stilinski to help Liam gain control over his transformation during the night of full moon when they needed to rescue Scott and Kira Yukimura from Kate Argent's captivity in La Iglesia. Derek brought the Triskellion Medallion, a large coin with the triskelion symbol staped on it that belonged to the Hales through generations and a tool meant to help new shapeshifters gain control over their supernatural side, and had Liam recite repeatedly the mantra, "Alpha, Beta, Omega." Unfortunately, the Medallion and mantra were not useful to help Liam and the young Beta nearly mauled Derek and Stiles to death until Stiles managed to help Liam return to his human form by having him recite the mantra used by Satomi Ito's pack members, "The sun, the moon, the truth." Once Kate and her Berserkers were no longer a threat, Derek went to travel through the United States and South America with his girlfriend Braeden in search of the Werecoyote assassin, the Desert Wolf.

Derek remained absent for nearly two years until September 2013, when he was framed for the murders of twelve Brazilian Werewolves, who were actually killed by members of Tamora Monroe and Gerard Argent's Army. Derek and Stiles reunited with each other on the way back to Beacon Hills and arrived just in time to help Scott, Liam and the other members of the pack in an all-out war between themselves and Monroe's Army. Two years after defeating the ancient fear-inducing shapeshifter Anuk-ite, which caused Monroe to lose a large portion of her followers, Derek was revealed to have rejoined the McCall Pack and continued to be a good friend and packmate to Liam and the others.
