Ash X Chloe Novels & Stories

“I thought you said you didn’t want any details?” “I don’t, so don’t share. You scarred me for life in other ways. Let’s not add your sex life to that list.” “What? My combat jacks don’t count?” Xander pulled a horrified face. “You’re not supposed to remind me of that!” Kira left the kitchen laughing, feeling a little lighter despite having the sinking feeling that something good had slipped through her fingers that morning... ________________________

I caught my breath. Chloe. She was gone in an instant. Like a ghost. A glitch. But I knew what I saw. “Zoe?” Austin’s voice brought me back. “You okay?” I kept my eyes on the window. “I think… I just saw Chloe.” Austin’s face froze. “What? Where?” “She was right there,” I said, pointing toward the pavement outside. “Wearing a hood and cap. I—I could not get a good look but I know it was her. I felt it.”

she spat under her breath, slamming the wheel with her palm. Her plan was simple , get to Damon’s mansion, question the maids, slip them money if needed. Someone would break, Someone always did. But just as she neared the familiar neighborhood, her eyes caught sight of a slim figure walking alone along the street. Long hair doll with beautiful hairpins youthful frame, the face illuminated briefly by a passing car’s headlights. Penelope, damon’s precious daughter. Anastasia’s lips curled into a slow, sinister smile. A thought as dark as it was tempting slithered into her mind.

“Why did you refuse to sue? Why were you and your friends running after her? What did you whisper to her in the hallway before she walked out with her friend? And finally, were you and Cornell fighting over her or not before she stepped in?” Xena fired the questions one after another. Wait. Cornell? She knew Cornell? I thought as much. She must have flirted with him. “Answer these, then I’ll take my leave. I’m also the leader of my cheerleading team, so I have just as much right to rest.” Asher tucked both hands into his pockets and stepped closer to her slowly. Was he going to kiss her?

Right after posting it, while I was still reading comments mocking me for putting on a tough front, I saw Immortal Ashes Team’s official account tag me in a post, openly standing by my side. "The crowd follows the herd. The strong walk alone. Those who don’t know how to cherish what they have will lose it. Ash Mercer, we stand with you. IA will always be your strongest backing."

"This is my house. You're trespassing and attempting assault. That's illegal. I'm calling the police!" The first wave of people who'd rushed forward scrambled back, swearing. "Crazy bitch and her tricks. Someone get me a bat. I'll deal with her myself." Before anyone could move, my childhood friend Maverick Kirk burst out from the kitchen. "No police, and no fighting. This is a misunderstanding." He smiled as he tried to calm everyone down, then walked toward me with a pointed look. "Chloe, what are you doing here? Come in, come in. Perfect timing. You're just in time for our family dinner."
