When Lord Eddad Stark found them and their children adopted the baby wolves. Same as the fate of dire wolves, Lord Eddad Stark's death also changed his children's fate.

Also when they all were together they were strong but as soon they got separated they became weak like a pack of wolves are always strong together.
