His black face may be a good clue. He might feel as much of an outsider as the wolves are. So he feels the call of the wolves...they are wild and free.

Yes... the phrase "an almost spiritual delight" characterizes "a strange contentment" as being more than just physical comfort but "almost spiritual". It's hard to know exactly why the man delights in the wolf's voices without more context. The more common reaction to the howling of wolves is fear. However, if the man feels safe from attack (usually wolves will stay away from fire), he may find a kind of beauty in the wolves howling.
