Red believed that the man she loved, the Blacksmith's son Peter, was the wolf, so she chained him to a tree so he could not hurt anyone.

While on the run with Snow, Red discovered a wolf pack led by her mother, Anita. The wolf pack was destroyed by the Evil Queen's soldiers who came looking for Snow White.
