The relationship between Human Stiles Stilinski and Werecoyote Malia Tate
Their relationship first started in Season 3, when, in Anchors, Sheriff Stilinski told Stiles about one of his cold cases, which occurred eight years previously when then-eight-year-old Malia Tate, her mother, and her sister were in a car accident and then supposedly mauled by a coyote. Stiles became very interested in the case and brought in his best friend Scott McCall and the rest of the McCall Pack to help investigate the case, eventually learning that Malia was actually a werecoyote who shifted out of stress for the first time on the full moon when the car accident occurred, accidentally killed her family, and then stayed in coyote form for the next eight years. Stiles assisted Sheriff Stilinski in returning Malia home to her father, Henry Tate, but they did not see each other again until Echo House, when Stiles was admitted to Eichen House and learned that Malia, too, was a patient there.
In Season 4, Stiles and Malia got closer after Malia joined the McCall Pack, with Stiles and the rest of the pack helping Malia reintegrate into human life and shed some of her more animalistic traits. Their friendship became closer until it eventually grew into a romantic relationship, and it became clear that they care about each other deeply when they constantly put themselves into danger while protecting each other against human and supernatural threats. Though they were temporarily estranged after Malia learned that Stiles and the rest of the pack hid the fact that Peter Hale was her biological father, but they ultimately made up after Stiles apologized to her, rekindling their relationship.
In Season 5A, Stiles and Malia's relationship continued to be strong until they both began keeping important secrets from each other; in Stiles' case, it was the fact that he had killed Donovan Donati in self-defense, and in Malia's, it was that she intended to kill her biological mother, the assassin known as the Desert Wolf. Though Malia offered Stiles her support regarding Donovan's death, Stiles was unable to handle it, which ultimately led to a break-up at the end of this half of the season, which continued through Season 5B, though the platonic friendship aspect of their relationship did repair itself, and it was still abundantly clear that they cared about each other when they both threw themselves at the Desert Wolf to protect the other. they both keep infromation for each other and start growing apart.
