Zendaya's POV
The blood-smeared note felt like ice in my hands. My heart pounded, breath shallow and quick. Ever Since I left Craven Pack, danger had stalked me like a shadow. First, the attack during the journey—now this. Someone wanted me gone.
The shower could wait. I needed answers right now. And the only person who can give them to me is Damien.
Clutching the note tightly, I bolted from my room, my feet carrying me straight towards Damien's office. My thoughts spiraled with questions.
Who's after me? Why? Was it because of my with my second chance mate bond with Damien? Or was there something deeper I hadn't yet uncovered?
I was so caught up in my mind that I didnt notice the figure stepping into my path until I nearly collided with him.
Beta Enzo.
His sharp eyes immediately locked into my face, scanning with concern.
"Zendaya," he said, his voice calm but probing, "what's wrong?"
I hesitated, gripping the note. Enzo's presence had always seemed.... Somewhat safe.
