Apparently there must have been some time for her to get involved with Renard because after she loses her hexenbiest, she tells Renard that she took on the obligation for him, not for Catherine.
Not until s05, when they retconned the entire Adalind-Catherine relationship with Adalind's description of her childhood (father leaving when she was a child, her trying to be not like her mother). Fortunately, they hadn't said anything previously that suggested a close, loving mother-daughter relationship either, so there was wiggle room for it.
We don't know how long Adalind was Renard's vassal before the start of s01, could have been quite some time. And what Adalind said to Renard makes sense if you consider the potential for Catherine to lose favor in Renard's eyes. Better to try and tie herself more directly to Renard.
