The whole thing is pretty clear to me. Theo said "you didn't notice the coyote part" thus, a chimera of both wolf and coyote.

Being both wolf and werecoyote might actually explain why he was a success. They're similar enough creatures that they can interbreed. Both in real life, and in canon. Well, we presume with canon, makes no sense for Malia to be a coyote if her mom wasn't. Yes, his statement was clear but I'm asking what part in the story did she actually trust him before anyone else did...cause it seems like Scott trusted Theo first and more than anybody else. :P

I don't think it was a specific thing she trusted him about? Just a general trust him thing. There are just some people you meet, in my experience, that you innately feel you can trust them. There's a difference in innate trust and being cool with giving someone the benefit of the doubt, and letting them prove themselves trustworthy.
