Keaton's Lessons [Brac Village 6] Read Online Free PDF Page A

was still waiting on him. Kade had wanted to get out of the diner sooner. It made him extremely uncomfortable to have the beta in his debt. The only thing he had been thinking about the whole time was Keaton.
    Kade had secured the loan money—even if it was Kota who had promised it to him. He just wasn’t sure how to start up a business. Cody had offered to help in the planning and Kota said that he would send somebody Kade’s way who knew about the financial side of the business.
    Kade had a lot to do, but right now the only thing on his agenda was his mate. After he hung out with Keaton tonight, Kade was going to let his leopard run free. His cat was already yowling at Kade’s thought, trying to urge him to go run now.
    Turning the corner, Kade furrowed his brows when he saw two men fighting by the juice hut. He wasn’t sure what was going on and having those two men fighting close to where his mate was working had Kade gnashing his teeth. It wasn’t until he got closer that Kade realized one of the men was a timber wolf.
    He wasn’t sure who the shifter was, but the guy was fighting like a true warrior. It was just odd as hell that the man was openly fighting on the street. Kade knew that not all the residents were aware that the paranormal ran this small town.
    What in the fuck was—Kade’s heart hammered in his chest when he saw Keaton lying in the middle of the street. He took off running until he dropped at his mate’s side. Oh, fuck!
    God no! Kade could see the blood trickling from two puncture holes in Keaton’s neck. There was blood soaking into his shirt and his beautiful blond hair. With a shaky hand, Kade checked Keaton’s pulse.
    It was weak, but there.
    Kade hadn’t a clue what to do. He yanked his T-shirt off and pressed it into the wound, glancing around to see if anyone was on the street to help him. The timber wolf was currently occupied, trying to kill the other guy. From his mate’s puncture wounds, Kade assumed the other opponent was a vampire.
    He hadn’t dealt with this kind of shit in too damn long. As his hand pressed into his mate’s throat, he remembered the healing agent in his saliva. There were a lot of things that Kade had forgotten over the years. He had been locked up with nothing but humans, so any abilities that he had were hidden right along with his leopard.
    Kade leaned down, pulling the T-shirt away. He began to lick the wound, praying that this worked. His mate had already lost so much blood and he was terrified that he had gotten here too late. He damn near shouted in triumph when the twin circular holes stopped bleeding, the tissue slowly filling in.
    Kade didn’t stop. He kept swiping his tongue over Keaton’s neck, praying for a miracle. His mate was so pale and lying unconscious in Kade’s arms. He brushed the blond strands back that were thick with dried blood from his mate’s neck, examining the wounds a little closer.
    The holes were closed, the skin raw around the edges, but Keaton was no longer bleeding. He gathered Keaton in his arms and got him out of the street. Kade just wasn’t sure where to take him. The juice hut was dark, telling Kade that Keaton had already locked up for the night.
    When he heard loud footsteps, Kade turned to see three men heading his way. The largest of the three joined in the fight and helped the timber wolf kill the vampire. The two smaller men were hurrying over to Kade.
    “Is he okay?” the blond asked, his eyes sweeping over Keaton’s body. Kade pulled his mate tighter to his chest, taking a step back. He bared his canines, warning them to keep away. His mate was injured and Kade would do whatever it took to keep Keaton safe. He didn’t know these men and was ready to fight to the death to make sure no more harm came to his mate.
    “Whoa,” the one who had just joined the fight said as he carefully maneuvered himself in front of the two smaller men. It took a second, but Kade recognized Law Santiago from the bike
