Hundreds of years ago there were no laws, an alpha could do whatever he pleased to his pack. This resulted in thousands of rogues, eventually becoming rabid. It was an epidemic, whole packs were destroyed left and right. It is said that the moon goddess blessed a wolf with the ability to command these rabid rogues.
He was guided by the moon goddess, she advised him to join these rabid wolves into a pack and he would be their alpha. Within a few years the rogue epidemic subsided, allowing packs to grow. He was elected king by the 12 remaining packs, and stayed king for 40 years. The man had a pitch black wolf, his mate solid white.
