He knew it was his job to protect the betas. He has been looking for Boyd and Erica. Yeah Derek took advantage of their low self-esteem to turn them easily with the partial intent to be meat shields for him, but he undoubtedly gave a shit about them, but they enjoyed the transformation and reaped the benefits, and they even quit on him and ditched him and he still tried to find them. He knows he messed up. Erica was relishing in the power and clearly abused it, so if you think Erica was innocent until she died thats like sympathizing with Hitler after he died. (Except Hitler was real so it fucking mattered) ;)
