Karl has a rich and drunk woman on his arm but his eye is on her jewellery. However he has second thoughts about the robbery when he picks up the scent of a werewolf that he has already killed. These are the events directly leading to Bitten and shows how Karl ended up involved.
This is really a filler short story but it was quite interesting to see how Karl ends up in a rebel plot. I would have liked it to be extended to include a discussion of the actual plans to see Karl's reaction to what was going to happen.
I was amused by how badly he was messing up his date though! He is a lot smoother when he meets Hope!

Quality short story but too short for me to feel comfortable giving four stars without being part of a collection.

Three reasons to read Territorial:
1) I did not anticipate liking Karl's POV, but he is surprisingly endearing because of how courteously he treats the people he's trying to rob.
2) I've seen bits and pieces of Karl's backstory in other books, but his POV brings those elements to life in a way the other characters talking about it couldn't.
3) This first-hand account of his state of mind right before the events of Bitten is interesting. It's a more detailed explanation of what he was going through and why he did what he did.

From Karl's (I heart Karl) POV. How he met up with Daniel Santos before Bitten. I found it HILARIOUS how conscientious Karl was trying to be towards the woman whose jewels he was trying to lift.

A glimpse into Karl's life before the events of Bitten. While his story is told in one of the later books, I liked how this one gave a more personal account of his relationship to his father, as well as to Elena and the Pack. I like Karl, and so getting this story which makes him more "human" regarding the events in Bitten, was a nice extra.

Great short story about how Karl got in with Daniel and the other guy, from Bitten, and remembering how his dad was killed, while walking a mark around town because of a tiger pendant-he'd given Elena a wolf pendent in hopes of help in getting territory and such. Great story!!!

This is a great story for fans of the Otherworld series.
Territorial is a wonderful addition to the series, one I wish had been longer. I’ve always considered Karl Marsten to be an interesting character, yet these few pages made him even more wonderful in my eyes. Whilst it’s not a necessity to read, it is certainly more than worth it.
