"So what you're telling me is that Xavier is more than hundreds of years old?" Madeline clarified.
Briar nodded.
"All I know is that he's hundreds of years old. I don't know the exact count, but I doubt anyone in the pack knows. Maybe even thousands."
"What about Adrian, shouldn't he know?" Madeline blinked.
Clearing her throat, she added in an attempt to clarify herself, "About Xavier's age?"
It came as a surprise to poor Madeline when Briar had informed her Xavier was likely… who knew how many times older than her.
He was ancient!
"Hmm."
"I suppose he would," Briar mused.
"But there isn't much that's known about him."
"About who? Xavier or Adrian?"
"Adrian."
"Other than him being the alpha's advisor and being good friends with Xavier, I know nothing else."
"Ah," Madeline spoke, a tone of fathom in her voice.
"Well, just tell me one thing."
"Humour me."
"If Xavier's hundreds of years old, then what's your age?"
