Wolf's always remain in a group or "pack". Wolf's can actually suffer major trauma from being away from other wolf's for too long. That is why every wolf must either have a pack or "Mate" which is basically like a husband.

or... from Amari_Miller

Wolves live in groups of between two and twenty (averaging about six to eight) animals. These groups are called packs. Each pack of wolves maintains an area, called a territory, which belongs to it and which it defends from other wolves. Within this territory, the pack hunts, sleeps, plays, and raises pups. Territories range in size from 50 to 1,000 square miles, depending on how much prey is available. Packs also vary in size depending on what kind of prey is available. Wolf packs which hunt deer as a primary source of food will have fewer wolves than packs which hunt bison or moose. These large animals are harder to catch and kill, and can also feed more wolves once caught.

Yeah. Some wolves don't though. A pack is usually started by a pair of mates. They are called the alpha male and female. Every year they mate and the female gives birth to wolf pups. The pups stay with their parents and together they form a pack. Sometimes wolves from outside the family will join, too. A wolf pack can have 4 to 30 members.

Wolves do live in groups but we do not call their groups herds in stead we say pack. Wolves have very complex groups. Wolf packs are usually family groups and are related by a bloodline connection. Wolf packs normally contain 5-7 wolves but they can have as many as 15 or more members.

True, but that grouping can also be called a rout.

They usually live in a pack but when one gets hurt or is old and can't keep up with the pack it is in a position that the pack could turn on it and eat it or it will just get left behind.
