Six months later…

He dragged his feet when the day came to leave, stalling as much as possible. Hunter laid out his terms, wherever she went, he’d be there, no questions asked. But first, they needed to see Lucas. The moment they arrived, the kid sprinted into Chloe’s arms, and she broke down. He looked so much like his father it hurt. Lucas was about 4 in human years.

“Hi, Hunter,” Lucas said, glancing up. “Thanks for bringing my mom back.”

“Hey, buddy,” Hunter replied, ruffling his hair. “Wish you could come with us. Just hang tight a little longer, okay?”

“I know,” Lucas said with a shrug. “The elder already told me. Mom, look at this!” In a flash, he shifted into a sleek black cat, his bright eyes blinking up at her.

Chloe crumpled, sobbing again. Nwa.“Liam,” she whispered through tears, clutching him close. It took forever for her to calm down, but eventually, they said their goodbyes and hit the road.

Chloe felt like the walls were closing in. She glanced at Hunter

  • Chasing fireflies   WELCOME TO THE GAMES

    Callum estateThe Callum estate, where their love story began, was adorned with floral arrangements and verdant greenery. Today, Callum and Isabella would renew their sacred vows before celebrating with loved ones.The wedding guests were dressed in their finest attire. In one of the preparation rooms, Jackson threatened playfully, "I'm leaving unless you take that dress off.""Go then," Chloe replied with a mischievous smile. "You're impossible. If I get pregnant again, I'll consider a harsh punishment for you"Tell me more," Jackson murmured, his hands finding her waist.She offered him a gentle kiss."That's exactly what I mean," he said. "You do that and the...—""Go, Jackson. Just go," she insisted, still smiling.Chuckling, he exited only to collide with Hunter in the hallway. Jackson's expression immediately sobered. "What are you doing here?""Jade's having a crisis. Hakun sent me to handle it," Hunter explained."Need any assistance?" Jackson offered.Hunter smiled. "She kick

  • Chasing fireflies   Where have you been?

    Jackson lay there, staring at the ceiling, wondering how everything shifted the second she stepped into his world. Chloe was draped over him, her warmth seeping into his skin as his fingers trailed lazily along her back. Gently, he shifted her to the side, pressing a kiss to her shoulder before grabbing a pair of sweats and heading downstairs.Callum was slumped in the throne room, the shadows clinging to him like old regrets. “Alright, Dad, what’s eating you? Cold feet?” Jackson smirked, leaning against the doorframe.Callum sighed, rubbing his temples. “No, son. I just…can’t see the future anymore. It’s…strange.”“Maybe you’re just getting old,” Jackson teased, crossing his arms.Callum shot him a look. “I never cared to look before, you know. Isabella always said it’s better not to know.” His voice cracked, and he dropped his head into his hands. “God, I miss her. It hurts. Why’d she have to go on that damn...” He choked off, covering his face as if it could hide the pain.“Would y

    Chloe bolted from the car, darting into the woods with Hunter hot on her heels. She spotted Jackson; he sensed her presence and turned. Without hesitation, she crashed into his arms.“Guess I owe you for saving her, and her for saving me,” Jackson said, his voice rough but grateful.“I love you. You really think I wouldn’t come for you?” she murmured into his chest, her words muffled. Jackson’s gaze shifted, locking with Hunter’s.“Alright, enough. Let’s move. Liam managed to save most of them, Zarek too,” Jackson said, cutting through the tension.“Who’s ‘them’?” Chloe asked, pulling back slightly.“I’ll let Liam explain. We got most of them, at least,” Jackson replied, his tone clipped.Chloe moved through the group, checking on everyone. Zarek was slumped on a tree stump, his head buried in his hands. She sat beside him, placing a hand on his back.“It’s my fault, Mom,” he muttered, his voice breaking.“Zarek, stop. None of this is on you. I was right there with your dad, and we co

    The vampires, wolves, and witches circled the fire, their presence casting an eerie glow.Aylani moved barefoot through the crowd, her white dress flowing, flowers woven into her hair. Liam watched, breath caught in his throat, she was stunning.Chloe’s eyes welled up, memories of her own wedding day with Liam flooding back.The ceremony wrapped up beautifully, and the celebration kicked off, drinks flowed, laughter echoed, and everyone danced.Jackson pulled Chloe onto his lap, both of them tipsy.Hunter sat nearby, raising his glass. “Nice wedding,” he said, his tone dry.Jackson smirked. “Hunter, man, you need a mate. You’re out here looking like a lone wolf.”Hunter chuckled bitterly. “No mate for me. Pretty sure my curse is watching everyone else be happy while I’m stuck playing the sad clown.”Jackson rolled his eyes. “That’s all in your head. Here, drink up, you need to chill.”He stood, kissing Chloe on the cheek. “Be right back.”As Jackson walked off, Chloe looked at Hunter.

    Liam walked back into the bedroom, finding her already asleep. He smiled softly, feeling a quiet warmth in his chest. I’m so in love with her, he thought, the realization hitting him all over again. His phone buzzed, breaking the moment. Come downstairs and talk like a man, the text read.“What the hell?” he muttered, pulling on a hoodie and heading downstairs. Kendrick was leaning against a lamppost across the street, glaring at him from the shadows.“What do you want, Kendrick?” Liam called out, shoving his hands into his pockets.“Buy you a drink. Tell you a story,” Kendrick said, his voice low but carrying across the quiet street.Liam sighed. “Fine.”They walked into the bar, the dim light casting long shadows across the room. They slid into a booth, and Kendrick leaned forward, his expression serious.“I didn’t kill her parents,” he said bluntly. “I know she thinks I did, but I didn’t.”Liam studied him for a moment. Kendrick seemed sincere, enough, at least. “Okay,” Liam said s

  • Chasing fireflies   I hate long flights

    Jackson kissed Chloe’s hand, her head leaning against his shoulder.“I hate long flights,” she muttered.“I can think of a few ways to pass the time,” Jackson replied with a grin.She laughed. “Didn’t you get enough at the vampire thing?”“That was just physical. With you, it’s different. There’s more to it.”He reclined the seats, pulling her on top of him. He unzipped her top, his lips brushing her skin like whispers, his hand sliding beneath her skirt. A soft moan escaped her as she felt him hard against her. She unzipped him, freeing what she jokingly called “the beast,” and everything else blurred.“The pilots heard you,” he whispered.“Not my fault you’re driving me crazy with your… beast.”“You’re calling it a beast now?”They both laughed.“Jackson, I don’t like going back there. It makes me uneasy. So, if I seem clingy, it’s just because I’m uncomfortable, okay?”“I know you,” he said, kissing her. “You don’t need to explain. Now sleep, close your eyes, he kissed her forehead
