Chapter 314: All because of the mark
MAVERICK’S POV
To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
As I saw my woman losing her control over her emotions and desires, it was almost as if I was meeting a person I never knew she was.
When I asked my team, Alina and Aiden, to leave, they hadn’t gone too far, and when Valencia got out of control and growled, they immediately returned.
My team and I were utterly useless against Valencia’s whims, and I thought Alina would be able to help because she was a witch, but who would’ve thought that when she would be facing Valencia in her primal, carnal, dangerous huntress form, rather than helping valencia, she would step back in horrors and fear.
According to Alina, Valencia wasn’t trying to feed off the blood of the dead bodies of the skinwalkers. Instead, the power-hungry side of her was trying to extract the powers of those dead skinwalkers and feed onto them.
That was why Alina had to step back to protect herself, or Valencia, in her power huntress form, would’ve hunted her for her powers. It was hard for me to believe because Valencia was the kind of girl who would do anything to protect her loved ones and would never harm them.
However, seeing how her body practically did not recognize me, I could see the matter of worry for Alina.
That was probably also the reason why, though those witches keep on assuring us they are with us, they don’t exactly stay with us. They are afraid of Valencia’s awakening her huntress powers.
Because that was also a part of the curse that she bore and the reason why she was the only one who could kill the devil, hunt the devil.
It was a good thing that after the last scenario, when she got angry and almost lost control, I saw Dylan making her sniff that mysterious flower that calmed her down. I had asked someone to collect those flowers and make a powder of them.
