Word Count :: 000 Woooo!
Alaki had been let out of the cave finally, but she was still uncertain of how well he was mentally. His mate had left him and he was really feeling the hurt and anger, it seemed, even after the few days that Naniko had left him locked up in his room. If she'd let him out he would have certainly gone after his now ex-mate Matteo and Matteo's new love, a female from the pack, and more than likely would have killed them both. This way he'd had some time to calm down and rationalize things. She hoped that she had done him more good than harm...keeping him locked away like that. She would need to keep her eye on him for the next couple of weeks.
She hadn't heard a call but had headed out to the border nonetheless when an odd scent had drifted across it. Naniko was wary of anyone who came to her borders who smelled differently than she remembered. Barrett always smelled a certain way, one that she was now used to...and he was a loner. Other canines from various places had each brought her the scent of their pack and area. This one was a bit more unfamiliar. She could place it...but just barely. Was it that new pack's scent? "Hello?" She called as she reached the border area, standing on her tip-toes to look over the next hill as she traveled over it. "Who's out there?"
