**Derek and Conri** is the relationship between **Werewolf-Witch Hybrid, Conri Tlanta**, and **Evolved Alpha Werewolf, Derek Hale.**

## Background

When Derek and Conri first met, they were on opposing sides, as Derek was the alpha that had been targeted by the Alpha Pack, led by Conri's old friend, whom he had partied hard with in the 1970s, the Augmented Alpha; Deucalion. Conri joined the Alpha Pack for the fun of it, lying to the pack of alphas about being a vampire-werewolf hybrid, like his uncle, and captured Derek's sister, Cora Hale, who was coming to Beacon Hills to find her brother after hearing the rumor of a new Hale Alpha building a pack.

Conri was on guard at the First National Bank, keeping an eye on Derek's betas, Erica Reyes, and Vernon Boyd, along with his sister Cora, until Erica injured herself, trying to get out, and healed her because the alphas wanted her alive. He didn't account for Kali killing her when she tried to fight back, and after locking her body in a supply closet, Conri heard Derek, Scott McCall, and Allison Argent in the bank vault.

When Derek first saw Conri, he sprinkled mountain ash into the vault, closing the barrier as Cora shouted at him that she was going to kill him, before she and Boyd went feral, and Conri left for a moment, hiding in the shadows until he heard Allison and Derek shouting at each other before Derek was left alone, and Conri taunted the alpha with his alias; Ulvekongen, asking him what it meant, because he knew Derek didn't know how to speak Norwegian, which was where the name came from.

Conri continued to make trouble for the Hale Pack, but healed Cora a number of times, when she fought Ethan and Aiden, and almost got a concussion, before Conri fed her his blood to heal her, and when the alphas came to Derek's home to threaten him, Conri prevented serious harm from coming to Cora, and pulled the pipe out of Derek as soon as the alphas left, and shoved his wrist with an open blooded wound into Derek's mouth, healing him until he, alongside Deucalion killed the Darach on the eclipse, due to Conri not being powerless during the eclipse, due to his witch and immortal side.

### Parenthood

After this, Conri offered extra protection to Cora as Derek took her to Mexico, and they began to bond on the road trip, before dropping Cora off and going to a bar, where Conri and Derek got drunk, lacing their drinks with wolfsbane, and went to the hotel room Conri got, and they slept together for the first time, conceiving their son.

During the pregnancy, Conri kept it a secret from Derek, and after the baby was born, Derek and Peter Hale came to the Victorian mansion Conri lived in, where he and Derek signed the birth certificate, and Derek talked with Peter about building a new pack in a new home now that he had a kid, as he had regained his Alpha powers, and after he and Conri defeated the assassins killing for the Deadpool, they began rebuilding their pack with many of Conri's immortal werewolves and immortal witches, who lived at the mansion, until Stiles Stilinski called on a burner phone, to inform them about a pseudo-supernatural creature, known as a Chimera named Theo Raeken, who manipulated his way into the McCall Pack and got Scott to kick Stiles out of the pack, the human turning to the Hales.

Conri came to Beacon Hills to get Stiles, Malia, and Peter, who had been sent to Eichen House after trying to kill Scott. He ended up bringing a defeated Theo, and integrated each new member of the pack into life on the East Coast, where they lived normally until the Wild Hunt ravaged Beacon Hills, and the pack went to take them down, or derail their plans to turn Beacon Hills into a ghost town for Liam Dunbar, and Stiles' father, before returning for less than a summer of peace before Derek ran away to search for a pack that had been killed in South America, and in late August, the pack went to Beacon Hills in order to take down the hunters.

After the war, Conri reprimanded Derek for leaving him and their son, before new members were added to the pack, and their allies were formed quickly, and they raised Eli Hale, their son together, taking care of threats, including the death of Tamora Monroe, and her followers over the years, before Derek and Eli moved from the mansion, and in 2026, Conri would visit them in their new home in Beacon Hills, and during the fight between the McCall Pack and the Nogitsune, Conri stopped Derek from sacrificing his life, by getting him out of the line of fire, letting the McCall Pack believe Derek was dead so they wouldn't worry about him anymore. Conri healed Derek, and a few months after he was fully recovered, Derek proposed to Conri, telling him that when he sacrificed himself, he regretted that he wouldn't get the chance to marry him, and now, he wanted to take his chance. Conri accepted, and they started planning their wedding, before breaking the news to the pack, and Eli volunteered to be one of the groomsmen, but Derek refused, stating that his son would be his best man.

## Trivia

* Derek cannot speak Norwegian, which is the language Conri grew up on, and started teaching it to Eli as an infant. Derek wanted to know what his son was saying in Norwegian, so he began going on forums, and started learning the language so that he could talk with his son in his second language, while Derek and the rest of the pack were the only ones to speak to Eli in English, while Conri spoke mostly to his son in Norwegian until he gained fluid speech, at four years old, and could speak both English and Norwegian fluently.
* When Derek and Conri completed moving Derek's belongings into the mansion, Conri became the only one allowed to drive his Chevy Camaro, and Derek was the only one allowed to drive Conri's Ford Mustang.
* Conri changed Eli's diapers for a long time, until Derek moved in and took over the responsibility, so that Conri could focus on his own health, and other aspects of Eli's routines.
* Conri and Derek run the pack together, alongside Peter Hale, so Conri is one of the most important members of the pack, aside from Derek and Peter, who are in the same ranking.
