^I would think there were other packs out there (there was in Talia's day). As for how she heard...any werewolf in areas near Beacon Hills (towns nearby or in state) could probably read the newspaper about all the deaths going on down there (animal attacks) and put two and two together. Even so I think that "werewolf" news probably does travel from place to place so it probably eventually made it to Cora's ears. As for the alphas they probably had their ear to the ground the entire time. I would think that Deucalion would keep a look out on Talia's territory just in case any of the Hale family became prominant in one way or another but that's just my opinion.
