I really think the /coyote/ thing is a state of mind thing. A bit like the Kanima, as in your mind, emotions, actions, personality uses the shapeshifter gene to adapt and California has tons of Coyotes so there. She might might of been a wolf at the beginning but digressed to a coyote to survive on her own and in this environment.

And if she is an Hale and Peters daughter, she didn't get bitten. Its part of her already and wouldn't be the first Hale to fully transform in animal form.

Peter might of attacked the mother if she was trying to get the girls away from him. But during the attack Malia went wolf/coyote/beast form and tried to defend mother and little sister. The entire thing caused the death of both. Talia found Peter and removed the memory of what he had done knowing that he'd be a sucky father (Oh shush, he would suck you all know it).
