Chapter 164: Getting handsy
VALENCIA’S POV
I quickly got up and started running in a random direction to protect myself from the beast who was following me. No, I wasn’t talking about the Jaguar. I was talking about the beast alpha. My heart almost felt like it would leap into my mouth.
As I turned around a tree, knowing it would lead me to my lake house, I bumped into one man I didn’t expect to stand before me so soon.
"In a hurry, sweetheart?" Maverick looked at me.
I looked at him wide-eyed. I don’t know if it was because he was chasing my cat form, and it brought out his predatory side, but the way he was looking at me indeed made it look like I was his next meal, and I wasn’t saying it sexually at all.
"Alpha Maverick, what a pleasant surprise," I said, clapping my hands to make it look like I had no idea he was chasing me a few minutes earlier.
The man didn’t say anything. He kept looking into my eyes for a few seconds, probably trying to figure out what was happening. I was thankful to my jaguar friend who came right in time and saved me, or I would’ve transformed eight before Alpha Maverick, and I don’t even want to imagine how that would’ve ended.
"It’s a pleasant surprise indeed. I was chasing a cat who was running so fast for a normal cat, and then a jaguar came in front of me out of nowhere. If that wasn’t weird enough, when I started running again to catch the cat, rather than seeing the kitty, I saw her master in front of me," Maverick stepped forward, his gaze raking on my face.
I am sure he could hear my heart beating at the pace of a bullet train.
Why? Because he looked like he was starting to figure out things.
"O-oh? So you were following her? No wonder she was running so fast. I couldn’t even catch her. What did you do to her?" I asked, feigning suspicion.
