Explanation:

In the story, Rainsford is in a life - or - death game with General Zaroff. Saying "I am still a beast at bay" means he is still fighting and the game isn't over until there is a clear winner. A "beast at bay" is cornered but still ready to fight.

Answer:

The game isn't over until there is a final winner.
