It's All Coming Back To Me

Charon explained that he was raised by the alpha male but that he wasn't a biological offspring of theirs. It made more sense to FitzDutiful now, though he wisely kept his mouth shut. He wasn't about to belittle the beta's achievement. He was beta now, regardless or what may or may not have influenced his earning that position.

The conversation turned onto his reason for being here and FitzDutiful nodded to the latter half of the question. "I realised that I didn't know much about your pack, and you're pretty close by. It's silly to think that what affects you here may not affect us. So I thought I'd come by and find out more about your pack - try to strengthen our relationship."

He wondered if young Charon would understand the concept of this. Yes, each pack to their own, but sometimes those bonds were useful. Could a nine-month old grasp that, were the pack even interested?
