Poor Alexander, she wanted so much to speak to him about this matter as well. She wondered what he would truelly think of the pair as mates. If he'd be pleased or upset. If he could give them his blessing. But it had silently been agreed it was Borden's secret to tell. Borden felt strongly about that, and the fact that they would not be able to have a family of their own. Secrets, she needed to shed them. Now was not the time. A smile stretched across her face, lingering longer. She had hoped Alex would approve of her, she was trying to be a good pack member. "Thank you, that means a lot to hear." She kindly met his bright gaze. She'd never heard such a compliment, and appreciation was strong in her heart. "So, if you don't mind me asking how long have you lived on the mountain?" She'd understood from Ruiko his uncle had founded the pack, then there had been a drout. The timeframe was questionable.
