The Wolf Approached...
Mary was no longer there. Her mortal form, or what was left of it, had been blown clear of the vehicle on its far side.
A wolf's teeth closed on her hair, and on what was left of the collar of her shirt. She was dragged away from the fire, to a distance where its flames were no longer hot enough to burn...
Thorn closed his eyes, and willed the double-fang growth in his upper jaw. Then he crouched lower over the girl, bending till his lips touched her charred flesh. In a moment he had tasted of her living blood.
