So weird question about vayne's lore.... but its a doozy

she rammed her arm into the mouth of that thing, and it says she got cut..

Just to kill it

But it turns things by biting right?

Is she gonna get a were-bug-thing skin?

Not really the core of my question but is vayne theoretically afflicted?

The creature’s razor teeth ripped strips of skin from her knuckles and arm, but Vayne smiled – she had the beast >right where she wanted it. She felt its jaw clench, ready to bite and rip her limb off. She didn’t give it the chance.

Vayne twisted her arm, dragging her wristbolt launcher across the inside of the creature’s gob until the silver tip of her final arrow pointed directly at the roof of the >beast’s mouth. With the flick of her wrist, the bolt tore through the monster’s skull, shredding its brain.

But like

Theres this

The widow collapsed onto the body in tears, unable to find the words.

“Sometimes, therians – shapechangers – want a companion. Sometimes they’re just savage: they lash out and bite somebody >out of confusion or anger. Others I’ve met just get bored. They think it’s fun,” Vayne said, patting the woman’s head. “But >some…some just need to eat.”

Well snakes don't inject venom unless they cling to the victim and inject their venom, getting scratched by their fangs won't do anything but cut you. If we assume that Therians use the same method, where hollow fangs connect to venom glands in the back of the throat and inject through having the fang embed in the victims flesh, then she didn't get any venom injected, thus she'd fine. At worst the cut might get an infection, but I don't think that would happen.

My thinking is, killing the monster in question (the would-be bride) dispelled the curse on her victim, and by consequence, her victim's victim (Vayne). Sort of a whole "the head-head vampire" kinda schtick.

What if she is actually cursed now? I mean that thing that bit her was a shapechanger,Vayne might not realize that she was turned as long as she has no idea how to activate her transformation.

Alternatively there might be some other condition other than the bite to cause someone to transform.

It is possible that only the original can turn others, she was bitten by someone else who was turned, also he wasn't allowed to fully transform. One of these two things may explain why she was not cursed.
