The wolves didn't work in the mythos of True Blood. Even the writers said there will be no more wolf storylines in season 7. Alcide is a joke. His character has less development and screentime than all the TB characters. Eye candy are the only words that sum his character on the show. I can't explain it, want to know why? I don't write for True Blood. I don't know what goes on in their heads, but it is a vampire-centric show with other supernatural creatures to spice it up a little. The last story line, that I thought was decent was Season 4. And yes, they do work in the mythos of True Blood. Why? Because that's how the creators want it to go. People like Alcide because he represents another world inside True Blood. He also adds drama to Sookie's love life, which is why he's still around. He's like the Derek Hale of True Blood, except he can actually fight and not lose every time (too soon?). They didn't necessarily like his Pack, so now by defintion, he is the lone wolf living life the way he sees fit. Could be better, could be worse, I won't know until I see Season 7. You can't forget that this show is still about Vampires, it's not a werewolf show or a shapeshifter show.

And yes, I agree he's now Eye Candy...but so is Northman, Willow, Tara etc. (Funny how I just named all Vampires...). Don't attack me for poor writing. I don't get paid by HBO, nor do I get paid by MTV, so I can't help you with you wanting a better storyline.
