His escape failed him spectacularly.

As the teeth of his assailant sank into him, he let out a strangled cry. It cut off abruptly as he tried to free himself, but also in his attempt to reach around and return some sort of parting blow to the wolf. Where he had always though he had done well to stay out of their way, to feast when they had long left some kill they couldn't drag back, he was finding that his own arrogance was the start of his unraveling. But perhaps in his final stand he failed to realize this as well, and the scrambling to both free himself and inflict pain simultaneously was nothing more than a fool's errand.

And it would earn him a fool's death, too.
