Derek Hale

Derek is a dom from a traditional and influential werewolf family

Biography
.Derek is 24 years old and is the second oldest child of the alpha of the Hale pack, John Hale, and his wife Marie. After being involved in various superficial relationships throughout school and college, Derek was expected to take a sub from a respectable werewolf family through an introduction organised by his parents. Derek is introduced to numerous appropriate subs, particularly liking Sophie, but feels under too much pressure from his mother and too young to collar a sub. After his sister Laura collars Danny, Derek begins a relationship with him, with Laura's approval.

Derek is the head of an educational charity. He has a twin brother, Jack, but they are different ages due to fertility treatments.

Life with Stiles
Derek applies for an allocated sub to end the pressure from his mother. Stiles is the first sub allocated to Derek, and he decides to collar him due to a combination of convenience, attraction, sympathy for Stiles and the belief that Stiles lack of docility will make him a better sub for a werewolf.

Derek is very proud of Stiles, believing him to be a desirable sub to other werewolves. He wants the best for Stiles, but sometimes makes inappropriate decisions which put Stiles at risk.
