Ghost at the Fist of the First Men with the Night's Watch.

However, they both return to Castle Black.

When Jon nearly deserts to join Robb in his war against the Lannisters, Ghost leaves with him. Jon encounters the undead Othor, risen as a wight, and saves the life of the Lord Commander. Suddenly the door shuts and Ghost is locked outside the room. Jon understands something is wrong and follows the wolf to the Lord Commander's quarters. When Jon is confined to quarters for threatening Ser Alliser Thorne, Ghost begins to whine at the door in the middle of the night. While Jon and Sam say their oath of fealty to the Night's Watch in front of a heart tree north of the Wall, just inside the eaves of the Haunted Forest, Ghost finds the corpses of two rangers, Othor and Jafer Flowers, and brings one of their severed hands back to Jon and a horrified Sam. Jon warns Rast that “no one touches Sam” while Ghost stands over Rast, snarling. Ghost helps him to threaten Rast in the middle of the night, to prevent him from bullying Sam. Jon takes Ghost with him to Castle Black when he joins the Night's Watch. Jon and the other Stark children adopt the direwolf pups. Theon Greyjoy mockingly calls the pup "the runt of the litter" and says this pup belongs to Jon. Shortly after, Jon finds a sixth direwolf pup - an albino wolf. He urges his father to allow his siblings to adopt them, stating that there are five pups for the five trueborn Stark children and the direwolf is the sigil of the Stark house.
