    About this ebook

    Dare Moon had wanted Steven Dell since the first day he saw the sexy wolf shifter. However, no matter how much he flirted Steven wouldn’t give him any of the hot smiles he shared with everyone else in the bar.

    Steven had always wanted the perfect mate. Unfortunately all the wolves he took home didn’t measure up to tiger shifter who tended bar at his favourite hangout. Would Steven give up his dreams of a wolf mate and take what Dare was offering, or would he turn his back on his only true chance for happiness.

    Denying Dare - Amber Kell

    Chapter 1

    S o how long have you been in love with my best friend ?

    Dare Moon dropped the bottle of alcohol he’d been twirling. Luckily, the expensive top shelf vodka landed on the anti-fatigue mat. The spongy rubber prevented it from shattering on the cement floor.

    What are you talking about? he gasped, trying to still his pounding heart. I’m going to tell Silver to cut back your alcohol limit. He refused to admit to any attraction. Especially when the man he was interested in showed no sign of returning his affection.

    Anthony Carrow gave a graceful shrug as he sipped his fruity alcoholic drink. Silver’s not overly concerned about my alcohol limits. I don’t drink all that much. He blinked his stunning amber eyes at Dare. Now about Steven. If you’re not in love with him, why do you stare at him as if you want to pounce and take him down like a squeaky mouse?

    Sighing, Dare gazed across the room where the dark-haired wolf trolled for someone to take home—someone not him. Nothing’s going on with Steven, and looking is as far as I’ll ever get. He’s made it clear he doesn’t want a tiger.

    Fuck if that didn’t break his heart. He couldn’t change the fact he was a weretiger, even if he wanted to, any more than he could help pining for the handsome werewolf.

    Anthony looked unimpressed by Dare’s heartache. As much as I love him, Steven’s an idiot. In the past three months, none of those pieces of ass he picked up touched a fraction of his heart. He’s only determined to have a wolf mate because his adopted parents are human and he wants to belong to a pack.

    Dare blinked back tears, dipping his head so the empathetic alpha mate wouldn’t notice. I can’t give him a pack, weretigers only meet to mate.

    Shit, Dare. I can give him a pack if he wants a pack. What he needs is a soul mate, and it’s my job, or so Silver keeps telling me, to watch out for the pack's best interests. Well the pack's best interest is for its fabulous bartender to be happy.

    Small bolts of lightning flashed in the beautiful blond’s eyes—a sign of a storm of the worst sort, an Anthony storm. Shit. It took a lot to upset the sweet-natured alpha mate, but he was an unstoppable force when crossed. Dare looked nervously at the wall of bottles. He hoped he wouldn’t have to explain to Silver what happened to them.

    Before he could say anything else, Anthony slid off the bar stool and marched across the busy dance floor. With a talent that was mystically the alpha mate’s, he made a straight line to his friend while everyone moved out of his path in a smooth natural style as if they were never even there.

    Standing on his tiptoes, Dare watched the smaller man approach his friend. He briefly got a glimpse of Anthony pulling something out of his pocket, but by then, it was too late.

    Fury followed Anthony’s every step. How could Steven not see what was right in front of him? Every weekend, Steven came to the club and picked up a different wolf. Every Monday, he mourned to Anthony about how that wolf ‘wasn’t the one’ and yet here was this sweet-tempered man with sable hair and stunning green eyes Steven completely ignored. Well, no more, he was done with this.

    Steven, Anthony shouted over the crowd.

    The familiar dark-haired head turned toward him, away from the were-twink he was currently talking to. What Steven thought he’d have in common with a skinny submissive who was growing something on his chin that should’ve been allowed to die with dignity, Anthony didn’t know. The kid was at least ten years too young and thirty IQ points too stupid.

    What? Steven asked.

    I’ve got something for you.

    Steven looked Anthony up and down, searching for his present. What?

    Anthony slipped the envelope out of his pocket. With deft fingers, he popped open the flap and dumped the contents into his hand.

    This. Taking a deep breath, Anthony blew the entire handful of green powder onto Steven’s blue silk top and brown leather pants.

    Shit. Steven tried to brush the stuff off, but it clung like mad to the silk just like Anthony had planned when he recommended the shirt earlier. What the fuck did you do?

    He glared at Anthony, his blue eyes bristling with ire.

    Enjoy your night. Giving his friend a wide grin, Anthony turned on one booted heel and sauntered off, letting the crowds swallow him up.

    Steven watched his best friend ditch him after ruining his outfit.

    What the hell?

    Members of the Moon Pack might be fooled into considering his best friend sweet, but Steven knew the ruthless manipulator that lived behind that innocent smile. If Anthony thought something was good for you, it was best to sit back and take it like a man or run like hell.

    Shit, man. What does the alpha mate have against you? The twink looked at him with suspicious eyes as if Steven were marked for death and he didn’t want to get involved.

    A loud roar snapped his attention to the bar. Dare, the cute bartender with pretty green eyes, looked ready to shift. Steven searched the area, wondering who could’ve upset the even-tempered man. He usually kept away from the sexy weretiger because he was incredibly attracted to the man and Steven wanted a wolf shifter. Still,
