The pack of wolves growled, their eyes alight with bloodlust, their minds set on one thing.1
Kill! Destroy! Dismember!2
They could smell the fear of the man, the scent was overwhelming, and with the certainty of the kill they leapt to the attack.3
The snarls filled his ears, a ring of red eyes glared at him from every side.4
Their would be no escape, their would be no restbite from these foes, so the man resigned himself to death.5
With a growl, the first wolf reached him, paws extended, claws glinting in the moonlight.6
"You shall soon be one of us, you belong with us! Let us bite and tare to make you as unclean as we are, let us ravage your body and soul!"7
As the wolf leapt, time seemed to slow down for the man, his heart beat with a calm steady rhythm, death would not be so bad. He would leave the world with its many complications.8
The wolf propelled itself through the air, their was something wrong, the man was not afraid anymore, he seemed to grow larger and larger and then the impact! Teeth gnashing, blood flying, gore howls, no screams.9
The man smiled, death would not be his after all. Military training came in handy sometimes.10
With a smile he stared at the blood and boddies littering the forest.11
His heart felt alive, killing was so rewarding. All thoughts of surrender, of suicide were long gone from his mind.12
In that instant between choosing the eternal sleep and life, he had chosen the latter, he felt so much more alive, grateful in fact.13
The pain the endless years of fighting had sculpted him into this man, the man who could murder with no remorse, all pesky emotions removed, he left the forest, bent on nothing more but destruction.14

totally wrong view of wolfs in my eyes. so yeah. good grammar. good choice of words. but nothing i personally liked since im a wolf lover.

If he is emotionless, he would not destroy, because he would not have the desire to destroy. Anger is behind destruction, and anger is an emotion. Sorry to be perdantic! This is a... well, gory piece of writing! Typical humanity! Keep writing. Meggh.

A lot of depth to this short piece, I would like to see you continue with it and finish what can be a good story
.
Right now it is action and statements that leave the reader wanting more.
We have no knowledge of why the man is being attacked by a pack of wolves. We don’t even know why the fellow is alone or where he is
.
You gave the impression they may be werewolves. Then,when the leader of the wolf pack attacks, this idea fades and the man becomes the killer.
It will need some editing (don’t we all
?)
Their is only a possessive pronoun; you need to use there to establish a place.
I believe you mean respite and while torn is spelled different tear is spelled the same as tear.
Welcome to SW I look forward to seeing more of your writing.
