WCPlease note that it was pre-approved by Kris for Wretch to remove Kahlo from Ichika. I am assuming that another NPC canine tried to steal the pup away but that they would have freaked out and just ended up leaving her just beyond the border after being spooked by someone. This is where Wretch will pick her up so that there will be no trespassing issues.
The girl moved swiftly through the grasses toward the pack border. She remembered this place like the back of her hand - she'd been attacked around a mile from this area. Wretch often wondered if the body of the coyote that she'd killed was still out here...but she tried not to think about it. That had been part of the reason that she had left Ichika to begin with, that she had taken the life of another. Even though it had been in self-defense, the girl felt such guilt for her actions that she had been unable to function correctly in the pack. That and the fact that her father had left and that she had become injured there one too many times. She had felt safe within the territory...but just beyond the borders she had been attacked on many occasions and had ended up with a couple of major injuries during her time in the pack.
Wretch was nearing the borders when a frantic sound reached her ears. She stopped dead in her tracks, looking around for the source of it. Something within her sparked and she realized what the sound was - some animal was in trouble. She looked around for quite a while before she was able to locate the sound, the squeaking sound increasing as she neared it. She nearly jumped out of her skin at the sight she came across...it was a little puppy sitting inside of a wicker basket. Was the Ichika border a dumping ground for pups? Had someone expected the pack to find this one and take it in? She didn't see any adults around - should she keep going and leave the thing there? She didn't know if she could trust Ichika to keep the pup safe...with her, it could receive personal attention. She was a good teacher. The hybrid reached down for the handle on the basket, giving one last glance around before fleeing the territory with the whelp in tow.
