To the sharp end of my fangs

With the elk impaled, Merrick leaped carefully into the pit, holding the struggling ungulate down as Imperia bit into its throat, ending its life. The big deer soon bled out and stilled. Merrick pulled the stakes out of its body one by one and threw them up into the snow. He then latched his jaws around the neck of the elk and with all of his brute strength, pulled it up and out of the hole. With jerking motions, the dire wolf had the elk up and on the clean snow away from the pit. The rest of it would be for Imperia to deal with. She thanked him and the violet and black brute rumbled in response before shaking out his thick coat and making his way back towards the mountain.
