Crossword Genius

Run away from wolf (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I believe this is a double definition.

'run away from' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'wolf' is the second definition.
(both can mean to eat something)

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Run away; bar of lock" , "Type of lightning" , "Fasten - run off - Jamaican sprinter" , "Leg it < and consume apace" , "Leave suddenly and in a hurry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
