CHLOE

As he walked into the office, he noticed a little girl slouched in a chair, head hanging first, maybe second grade, probably? Still pressing ice to his face, he plopped down beside her. Todd came in, holding ice to his busted lip, and took a seat on her other side.

“What’re you looking at?” James muttered.

“Your ugly mug,” Todd fired back without missing a beat.

The little girl reached out, grabbing one of their hands on each side. She looked up at him with big, sad blue eyes. Her bangs were too long, her brown hair messy, and her little dress had stains on it. She squeezed their hands tightly.

“What’re you in for?” James asked her.

“I took a candy bar,” she mumbled, still looking at him. “I was hungry.”

He glanced at the secretary. “Seriously? She’s a kid. Of course she took a candy bar.”

“Let her go,” Todd said.

“Stay out of it,” the secretary snapped. “Her dad’s on his way.”

The door swung open, and a man stormed in, his face twisted with anger. He snatched the little girl’s

  • Chasing fireflies   The witches are rising

    Ceremonies of the clan-partyThe scene felt like it had been ripped straight out of some ancient, torch-lit hall, massive wooden tables, a lavishly adorned one for the clan leaders. Zara’s gaze was locked on Jackson and Chloe.“Got something to say, Zara?” Jackson asked, raising an eyebrow.“You broke the rules, Jackson,” she replied, swirling her wine casually.“And you wouldn’t be sitting here if you’d laid a finger on my mate,” he shot back, his tone sharp.“Hey, let’s keep this civil,” Hakon interrupted as Damien approached, his eyes fixed on his mom.Damien gave a quick nod to the group. “Can we talk?” he said to his mom.She glanced at Jackson, who gave a silent nod of approval.“Who’s this, and…”“He’s my mate, and you’ve got a little brother,” Chloe blurted out before Damien could finish.“Mom, I missed you,” Damien said, pulling her into a hug. “I’ve been getting these headaches, is the…”“Damien, just peek into the future and get it over with,” Chloe interjected.“Alright, l

  • Chasing fireflies   Welcome to the clan

    Jackson Clan"Mom," Salem asked, "how do I look?""Your hair's dark, just like Hunter’s, and your eyes are blue," Chloe replied. "I’m sorry it had to come to this, but we can fix it now if you’re ready.""Can we do it during the clan ceremonies? I mean, everyone’ll be there by then.""Of course. I’ll see you next week, Salem," Chloe said, then added, "And listen… I know it’s tough, but try to give him a chance, okay?""Alright, Mom. I’ll try."Jackson walked in, pulled Chloe into a hug, then went straight for Zarek, scooping him up and planting kisses all over his face as the kid giggled."Chloe, I swear, I could watch him all day," Jackson said, grinning."No kidding. He’s a great kid, handsome, too," Chloe said with a smile. She paused. "Oh, I talked to Salem earlier. She reminded me about the clan ceremonies.""Yeah, that’s going to be something. You’ve never been to one, and we still need to be careful, we haven’t sniffed out that mole yet.""What if we drop a hint to the tracker?

  • Chasing fireflies   Who are you to judge me?

    A sharp rap at the door startled her. “Come in,” she called, her voice steady despite the jump.Trendorus stepped inside. “There’s someone at the gate claiming to be your brother. Says he wants to see you.”“What?” She froze, then quickly placed Zarek in the crib. “Get Jackson. Lock down every exits and make sure the dungeon is prepped. We’re about to have company.”Trendorus blinked at her. “What?” “Got a problem taking orders from me, Trendorus?”He smirked, his gaze lingering just a second too long before he looked away. “Not used to it yet. But fine, I’ll handle it, Chloe.”Did she miss something? She paced, waiting for Jackson. When he finally strode in, he grinned. “Chloe, missed me already?” He moved in for a kiss.She pushed him back. “Jackson, James is here.”“What the fuck? How he found you?” Jackson’s face hardened.“No time. Just stay close,” she said, grabbing his hand.They walked into the throne room, fingers intertwined. James turned, his eyes narrowing as he saw Chloe

  • Chasing fireflies   I like my king

    Sophie found Hakon pacing the throne room alone, his frustration palpable. He despised the idea of teaming up with Zara. This clan needed strength, not distractions. He spun around, nearly crashing into Sophie.“Hakon,” she said, brushing his arm.“What do you want, Sophie? I’m busy,” he snapped.“You’re wound tight. Let me help with that,” she replied, taking his hand and placing it on her chest.He yanked his hand back. “What the hell are you doing?”“Oh, I see. You’re more of a...”“Enough,” Hakon cut her off, but she leaned in, her lips meeting his just as Salem walked in. He shoved her back, sending her stumbling. “What’s wrong with you?”Salem clapped slowly. “Sophie, maybe you’re trying too hard. Learn to seduce first.”“A child like you can’t give him what I can,” Sophie shot back with a smirk.“A child?” Salem raised an eyebrow, turning to Hakon. “What do you think?”“Don’t listen to her,” Hakon said, glaring at Sophie. “If I were you, I’d transfer to another clan if you can’

  • Chasing fireflies   Tell me the truth

    NO, Jackson sprinted toward her. Chloe braced herself, arms outstretched, eyes shut tight.She was ready, well, mostly. A sharp pang of regret hit her, but damn it, she loved him.Then, silence.Chloe cracked her eyes open to find spirits swirling around her. The vampires hesitated, stepping back.“Back off,” a voice cut through the chaos. “She’s not the cure. I am. James.”She whipped her head around just as Jackson reached her, and her legs buckled. Everything seemed to drag, like the world was stuck in slow-mo.The spirits vanished. Jackson scooped her up.“Take one step closer, and you’re dead,” he growled. “Zara, control your men.” Without another word, he turned and strode off.Hunter jolted awake to the baby’s wailing. “Alright, alright, I’m on it,” he muttered, scrambling out of bed. He peeked into the bedroom empty. Checked the bathroom. Nothing. “No, no, no, no,” he muttered, dialing Jackson frantically.“She’s gone; I don’t...”“I know. She’s headed here,” Jackson snapped,

  • Chasing fireflies   Don't you dare smile at me

    Two days before days before the battle…Hunter! Chloe screamed, clutching her stomach. "Call the midwife, my water just broke!" Another sharp cry tore through her as Hunter fumbled with his phone."Okay, I’m here," he said, trying to sound calm. "What do you need?""I need you to stop being so useless!" she yelled, squeezing his hand so hard he winced. "I hate you right now!""Love you too," he shot back, grinning despite himself."Don’t you dare smile at me!" she hissed through gritted teeth.Hunter couldn’t help it, she was kind of adorable when she was pissed."Stop staring at me like I’m some kind of spectacle!" she shouted, followed by another scream that could’ve shattered glass.Finally, the midwife arrived. "Get out," Chloe ordered, glaring at Hunter.He retreated, hands over his ears, as the screaming continued. It felt like it went on forever.Jackson’s castle"What did you see, Callum? Spit it out before I kill you.""She’s in agony, the baby’s coming," Callum said, shiftin
