I believe the answer is:

hating

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no loving' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a night in chaos' is the wordplay.
'in chaos' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'night'='anight'
'anight' is an anagram of 'HATING'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hating that I've seen before include "Disliking intensely" , "Having an aversion to" , "Abhorring" , "Detesting" , "Loathing" .)
