Allison seemed to think that the wolf/coyote animosity would apply, and it was hinted by Malia trying to escape Scott and then warn him off when he caught up with her. Later she abandoned her lair because of his scent.

Jeff claims to have trouble with numbers (no kidding), but there is definitely some overlap in time between the Hales being the main pack in the area and Malia becoming a werecoyote. They would have all been roaming around the same woods.

Maybe Malia had changed so completely that they couldn't tell her apart from a regular coyote?
