There was no cry from the woman, and the howling of the wolves was but short. Before long they streamed away singly, licking their lips.
– Bram Stoker
Dracula, Chapter 4. Jonathan Harker sees a pack of wolves summoned by Dracula run into the courtyard where a woman is wailing, "Monster, give me my child." The wolves devour her. She was better dead, says Harker, for me knew what had become of her child.
