Derek will probably be hurt that Scott only joined his pack because Gerard told him to, rather than because Scott wanted to. If Scott does explain that Gerard threatened to kill his mother, Derek would almost certainly understand that Scott was trying to protect her, but what he won’t understand is why Scott didn’t tell him the real reasons or that he was in trouble, so Derek could help.

Derek has, after all, shown to always try to help Scott in the past, despite coming across as rather cold and bitter (understandable considering almost all his family were killed by hunters); he truly does seem to care for Scott (and even Stiles etc by extension) as a younger brother.
