Ahh interesting! Another thing to watch out for on my re-read!
I had the impression Nighteyes wanted to be with the pack, but I guess he must have had Fitz in his mind as well.
I may well find it's different to my vague recollection when I read it again.
I found the way he was torn between his wolf bonds and his human bond very sad. If Fitz had a settled home rather than moving around so much then Nighteyes may have been able to handle the dual lives more easily. But then again he was in the Cabin for a long period of time and I don't think it was mentioned that he ever joined a pack again - maybe as he couldn't ever really be sure when Fitz might leave and go elsewhere.
