no but they do explain to others their particular relationship to other individuals like when Derek told Scott that Peter was his uncle and Peter told Lydia that Talia was his older sister. I think if Deucalion was related to the Hales in any way it would have been revealed by now since they have already said season 3b will be a different story arc and probably not focused on Deucalion.

My impression of the flashback was that the alphas of the 4 packs acted as a council of sorts that came together to plan strategy when the werewolf community was threatened. I mean in the flashback the hunters seemed indiscrimintory as to who they were chasing down as even young Derek had to hide. They probably sought the council of the emissaries when they could not formulate a plan as we saw Deucalion and Talia doing. One of the odd things for me though is why did Deucalion seek advice from Deaton rather than Morrell since she was his emissary...makes me wonder how much of a hold Talia had on the werewolf community at the time and in return how much influence Deaton may have had over her.

But none the less (imo) I don't think any of the alphas were related and as far as we know the only alpha that had literal blood related family members in their pack was Talia. Kind of makes me wonder if the Hale family at that time did not take in non born werewolves into the pack(why Talia might not would turn Paige). Perhaps a pack full of natural born werewolves would produce a more pure werewolf or something. I mean what I'm saying is that the product of two natural born werewolves would be more wolf than the product of a natural born werewolf and one that was bitten or the product of two bitten werewolves. Just speculation but there is so much unknown about the Hales most of it turn out to be speculation anyway. lol
