The man caught me however, his surprise overcome by his own survival instincts so that he brought his weapon around, just turning his shoulders more or less, twisting on his hips, and that heavy steel suddenly found the side of my head just as my claw-like fingers found his jacket. He’d fired into the air and now the man was shouting, even as he worked his gun, jerking the metal to reload. Wolves waited until they could be sure of a kill, but this man, all he’d done was hurt the animal, not killed it
