    About this ebook

    A werewolf with amnesia. The enforcer of the Southern Territory. Saving a wolf in distress leads to more than he bargained for...

    Hunter Silver was sent to Arizona to clean up the Southern Territory as their new Enforcer. After nearly a year on the job, things are finally falling into place. Life was ideal. That is until a starved female werewolf wanders into his life. Hunter's dragon says mine before it ever meets Lexa. This has trouble written all over it. Can Hunter save the territory and Lexa or will he be forced to choose?

    After waking up in a cage, Lexa Greene runs as far as she can before nearly collapsing from exhaustion. With her memory gone Lexa has no choice but to trust a handsome stranger. Lexa's wolf wants Hunter before her human half ever realizes what she is. But Lexa can't start anything until she's pieced her life back together, or can she? Will Lexa risk it all for a chance at love or will she run again?

    Hunted is the first book in the steamy action packed follow up series to Dragons of the North. Its filled with characters you know and more you'll adore. Hunter and Lexa offer a complex relationship full of heat and compassion. If you missed the first box series you can still start here without missing a beat although I guarantee you'll want to read the first set after this book.

      Hunted - Rebecca Tran

      Foreword

      Hunted: Dragons of the South is a continuation of my first series of dragon shifter romances Dragons of the North. The books do not have to be read in order to understand the story line. However, you may miss some of the finer plot points and inside jokes. If you enjoy Hunted though you will want to go back and read Dragons of the North to see how it all began.  I hope you enjoy my dragons as much as I do.

      You can find Dragons of the North and all my books here: https://www.books2read.com/ap/nAkqjx/Rebecca-Tran

      Chapter 1

      Lexa ran through the woods scared and alone. She had no idea where she was going. She was just glad to be free of that cage. Lexa still couldn’t figure out why she was locked up in there like some animal. All she remembered was waking up alone, and hungry. No one came for two days. It took all of her willpower to move the cage close enough to the table to knock it over and get the keys. Now she was free and had no idea where to go.

      Lexa couldn’t remember who she was or where she was from. She had a wallet in her pocket that said her name was Alexis Greene, but she knew her name was Lexa or at least that’s what she liked to be called. She needed a place to stay and money. There was a diner up ahead, and she ran inside. The waitress looked her over and tried to shoo her out. Please, I’ll work for food. She glanced at the window. There was a help wanted sign. I’ll serve food. I’ve waited tables before, Somehow Lexa knew it was true. The waitress called the manager from the back.

      A big burly man came out. His teeth were crooked and rotten. He was greasy and fat. The man leered down his nose at her like she was a piece of meat and her skin crawled. You can work for room and board. He smiled. Lexa thanked the man. She couldn’t stay here though. She would work long enough for a meal then she would leave.

      Lexa scrubbed dishes in the kitchen. The manager said she was too dirty to be out with the customers yet. Lexa didn’t care it gave her time to think. She was trying to figure out her next move. One absurd thought kept popping in her head. ‘Find the dragons’ She groaned. Dragons like they existed. She washed another dish then looked up. Where is the Grand Canyon?

      What? Why do you want to know that? the manager asked.

      Please I want to see it, and I think I’m close, Lexa begged.

      About 15 minutes down the highway, he grumped. Don’t go getting ideas.

      Lexa went back to scrubbing dishes. Then she smelled it. Something different was in the restaurant. It wasn’t like anything she smelled before. Lexa let the dish fall into the water and dried her hands. She went to the door and peered out. The most gorgeous man she’d ever seen sat in a booth across from her. He had to be tall the way his legs stretched out. His hair was pale blonde, cut short on the sides and top. The top wasn’t much longer and slightly messy. It enhanced his angular face and brought out his moss green eyes. His body was to die for. He had muscles everywhere. Lexa just wanted to touch him to see if he was real. The waitress moved over and took his order. He seemed kind. He talked to her briefly and made her smile.

      Lexa took a step out wondering if he’d talk to her. She’d washed a ton of dishes maybe she could sit down to eat and enjoy the view. She heard the manager calling her back. He promised another half an hour then she could break for food.

      HUNTER WENT TO HIS favorite diner after patrolling for the day. He was tired and worn, but at least things were starting to get easier. Mac and Paxton were earning respect, and he was gaining a reputation in the south. All of it meant there was less trouble. The old Enforcer was way too lax. Hunter was having a hard time restoring order. He already had to punish ten dragons in less than a year.

      Hunter sighed as the waitress came over. She asked if he wanted his usual order. He asked if he was that predictable. She laughed and said he was. She recited his order. He nodded conceding the point. She moved off and Hunter pulled out his phone to check his email; reception wasn’t the best in the territory. He glanced at the kitchen door and noticed a young woman standing in it staring at him. It was nothing new. This one though seemed like she was down on her luck. He was just about to ask her to sit down when she disappeared into the kitchen once more.

      When Sally, his waitress, came back he asked about the young woman. She said the woman wandered in and asked to work to earn her meal. Hunter handed Sally her tip and a tip for the young woman as well. Sally smiled and thanked him. It was the least he could do. She was trying to do the honest thing after all. Sally brought his food a few minutes later, and he started to eat. The young woman was forgotten.

      LEXA WASHED DISHES for the next half an hour dreaming of the food that was coming. She could almost taste it. She was so hungry her belly was past making noises. She couldn’t remember the last time she ate. The manager came in a few minutes later with a plate of food in hand. He told her to use his office to eat. Lexa happily went to sit down.

      He came in when Lexa was halfway through eating and shut the door behind him. He started unbuttoning his pants. Lexa jumped up. What are you doing?

      This is part of it too if you want to stay. He unzipped.

      No, Lexa told him as she got up.

      He pushed her back down in the chair. I don’t think you’re going anywhere.

      Lexa punched him hard in the jaw and pushed past him out the door. She ran out of the kitchen and heard the manager behind her. She went directly to the Adonis in the booth across from her. Somehow she knew he would protect her.

      HUNTER LOOKED UP FROM his meal when the kitchen door slammed open. The young woman from earlier ran out. She was dirty and tired and looked like she needed a good meal. Still, he couldn’t help being attracted to her. Her long deep brown hair was pulled into a ponytail that fell in a giant poof halfway down her back. He was sure it was naturally curly. She was short and barely reached his shoulder, so she was under 5’5" tall her breasts were large under her baggy shirt, and her ass was plump. Even a mess she had Hunter in a sweat.

      The woman ran across the restaurant and stood beside his table. Hunter had no clue why until he saw the manager come storming after her. His greasy face was red, and his cock was hard. The zipper on his pants was down so he must have tried to pull something. Hunter’s dragon was in a rage as he got to his feet. ‘Mine, kill him’ he screamed. Hunter stopped dead. What the fuck was that about? Hunter looked back at the woman. ‘Mine’ his dragon said again. He swallowed hard and addressed the manager. Leave this woman alone. She’s under my protection.

      She stole food from me,

      Hunter glanced at her, She clung to his shirt sleeve and peered out from behind it. I worked over an hour for it.

      Even at minimum wage she paid for it. You don’t want the cops to come. Hunter threatened. The manager grumbled and went back into the kitchen. Hunter turned and faced her offering his hand. Hunter Silver He got a whiff of her scent and paused.

      She took his hand like nothing happened and little zings of electricity shot up his arm. Alexis Greene although I like Lexa. She leaned in closer. You aren’t human,

      Hunter smiled, Neither are you, Lexa looked at him surprised. She hadn’t known, now what was he supposed to do? Hunter sighed and offered her a seat. She was still shaking, whether
