Cade looked in the direction of Lexus who we all had noticed walking this way. I didn’t expect to see him again so soon. “I doubt we’d see someone having a mate any time soon though,” He ended the conversation. He stood up once Lexus approached us. “Is something wrong? You never come into the city.”

Lexus glanced at me then looked back at Cade. “You could’ve invited me.” His tone gave off that he was annoyed. “We usually hangout on Saturdays anyways, I don’t mind the city too much.”
