He likes it that way, he's a loner by nature and by keeping aloof it makes his job of enforcer less emotional if he has to kill a wolf.

Remeber poor Mac from the first Mercy novel? Well this si where he started, changed by force by a pack who's frankly gone really far astray from what it should be. chalres has been sent to investigate and what he finds out challenges him and his wolf, especially when his wolf decided Anna is his. charles would have liked to take time but for once the wolf isn't going to wait....
