The puppy pack he now belongs to see him as a wolf and treat him as an enemy. So begin White Fang's lessons in cruelty and mastery. The She-Wolf and her surviving pup eventually meet up with a group of Mackenzie Indians one of them, Grey Beaver, recognizes the She-Wolf as Kiche, his brother's runaway half-wolf-half-dog, and takes possession of her and her pup, whom he names White Fang. The two raise a litter of pups, only for One Eye and all the litter except one to die. The starving pack eventually splits up, the She-Wolf who lured the sled dogs to their doom going off with her mate, whom the narrator refers to as One Eye. Desperate for food during a famine, the wolves eventually kill all of the dogs and one of the men before the other is rescued. The novel starts with two men and their dog sled team being pursued by a wolf pack in the Northland Wild.
