Grey Beaver's brother is dead, so he took Kiche and her cub, named the cub as White Fang. Since then White Fang and his mother lived with the Indians. However, White Fang had a harsh life in the Indian camp; the current puppy packs, eing him as a wolf, immediately attacked him. He was saved by the Indians, but the pups never accepted him, and the leader Lip-lip always followed him and forced White Fang to fight. Thus made White Fang become very angry and hateful.
