Somehow James had managed to catch wind of this rogue wolf between all the vague planning he'd been doing to keep the East End pack safe, but also make sure vampires stayed out of the loop. The last thing he wanted was one of Islington's catching onto his plan and dismantling it before the Blood Moon even arrived.

It wasn't the first one in the wake of Hale's absence and it wouldn't be the last. The only reason this was notable enough to try and stick his nose into it, was that they'd attacked a hunter.

He's only following up on the leads of where the wolf was last seen, when he sees Lancelot. James recognizes him easily as one of the Night Council's enforcers, which makes approaching him much easier.
