Part 2, Chapter 1 Summary: “The Battle of the Fangs”

The she-wolf escapes the threat of the men with the rest of her pack. She follows the pack leader and navigates running between different lovers who constantly attempt to touch her. Finally, the pack of 40 wolves finds a moose, and they eat well. After their hunger is finally satiated, the pack splits up. The she-wolf creates a new, smaller pack with a three-year-old wolf, an elder wolf who attempts to touch her, and a young male from the original pack. It doesn’t take long for the three male wolves to fight over the she-wolf. The leader and the older wolf team up to kill the three-year-old. Then, the old wolf kills the young leader. The she-wolf watches, satisfied.

The old wolf, called One Eye because of his missing eye, and the she-wolf team up, traveling far and occasionally meet other small packs or individual wolves, none of whom they allow to join up. One day, the she-wolf and One Eye find themselves near a human encampment. The she-wolf and One Eye get into a physical altercation after they both struggle to catch a rabbit.
