While it is nice in theory to eliminate all national borders, it's not one wolf but a wolf pack. The pack is deciding democratically to respect the border of another pack.

Saying borders are "imposed by the state" is like a cub who ignores the pack, wanders into America and gets torn apart by nasty Americans.

The "state" is people.

the state is an organization that includes a tiny minority of people who get to command and control the greater population. you can argue that its power is legitimate because of elections if you want, but it is not the same as the people. meanwhile, the wolves don't experience that kind of government.
