[ As it turns out, the wolf is predictable, at least to some degree, and when the bar falls away, the wolf lunges forward, bursting through the door. Once again, the poor thing is nearly taken off its hinges with a metallic screech.
The ring of wolfsbane gives it pause, makes it snarl in protest, but it rallies itself and leaps – and nearly collapses to the ground when its injuries shriek at the strain and the impact of its landing. It yelps, staggering, but instead of succumbing, it manages to get its balance again, keeping its hind leg lifted to avoid putting weight on it.
It turns gold eyes fixing on Vasquez – a warning to keep his distance – before it shoots off.
And to its credit, it heads off into the woods, ignoring the temptation to try its chances with the humans in the town. ]
