There are kind of two people living inside of Charles, Charles and Brother Wolf. Brother wolf is Charles’s wolf, who has his own personality. Anna knows something is wrong with Charles and after she begs Bran to help, and he stubbornly says no, she is at a loss for what to do.īrother Wolf, also has a big role in this book. So he keeps this pain and torment hidden from her. They talk to him, scare him, and he is terrified if he acknowledges them too much, they will take control of him an eventually harm his wife.

Bran can’t send out other alphas, fearing they couldn’t handle it and the older wolves already carry around too much and they would go insane.Ĭharles has the ghosts of his previous kills lurking around him. You flip-flop by wondering if Bran is using his son to do all his dirty work, or if he really has no one else to send out. I love how Briggs presents it to the readers as well. Which means Charles is killing many and it is starting to weigh him down. Trying to keep the peace, Bran sends Charles out to kill those wolves who have stepped over their boundaries. While they can assimilate with the general public, they have a very violent edge and it doesn’t take much for them to eat someone. Patricia Briggs writes her werewolves to be very carnal in nature. Recently, werewolves outted themselves to the public and it is all about keeping a positive spin with the public. Charles is the Marrok’s punisher for lack of a better word. In Fair Game, book three, Patricia Briggs continues to explore the dynamics between this very alpha, serious and quiet wolf Charles and his stubborn wife. Of course, her human appearance makes her look like a fragile woman, but don’t be fooled.

Anna is an Omega, a wolf that can calm the fiercest of tempers and is also strong enough to look the Marrock in the eye. Charles is the only known born werewolf, and son of the Marrock (Alpha of ALL werewolves of North America, Bran). In this series we explore the complex relationship of Charles and Anna. She has expanded it over two series, her Mercy Thompson series and this one, Alpha & Omega. I love this urban fantasy world Patricia Briggs has created. Fair Game by Patricia Briggs (Alpha & Omega #3)
