You didn't mention if Gabriel hit or not, so I used some slight powerplay--how badly that wound turns out to be is your call. :]
indent The blow connected but the stranger moved, and Gabriel’s grip was lost. His momentum carried him beyond the stranger, but he had prepared for this and quickly came around again. It had not been long since he had tasted blood, and it aggravated a proud sense of his being that even with a fresh carcass on the edge of their land. That wolf had suffered and died alone. He didn’t look quite unlike this stranger, but most wolves looked alike. Gabriel lowered his head, circling the stranger.
indent He rushed forward again, looking as if he might strike towards the throat. All too quickly, though, he jerked towards the hindquarters. If the stranger couldn’t run, if he couldn’t stand, he would break him. In the end, that was really his goal.
