Culpa Mía Wattpad

Résumé : Elle pensait que l'amour l'avait enfin choisie… jusqu'à ce que son fiancé passe devant elle. À leur fête de fiançailles, devant tout le monde. Portant une autre femme dans ses bras. Un instant, Elara Sinclair se tenait sous les lumières scintillantes, une bague promettant l'éternité à la main. L'instant d'après, elle avait disparu. Abandonnée, tandis que l'homme qu'elle aimait ne se retournait même pas. Le monde entier a assisté à la scène. Internet en a fait un spectacle. Et la femme qui s'est effondrée dans ses bras est devenue une victime… une sainte… une histoire qu'elle n'aurait pas dû raconter. Mais certaines chutes sont préméditées. Certaines larmes sont calculées. Et certains sourires dissimulent des plans ourdis bien avant le premier mensonge. Elara n'aurait jamais dû se défendre. Elle aurait dû disparaître discrètement. Elle ne le fera pas. Car quand l'amour se mue en trahison… Il y a toujours un dernier à saigner

Je venais à peine de me lier à mon compagnon, l'Alpha Damien, lorsqu'il a ramené chez nous une orpheline pour rembourser une « dette de vie ». À partir de ce jour-là, je passais toujours après elle. Après la fille, Lila. Toujours. Elle m'a accusée à tort, prétendant que je l'avais forcée à perdre le contrôle de sa louve. Pour cela, Damien m'a enfermée dans les cellules d'argent pendant trois jours. « L'argent t'apprendra à devenir une Luna plus tolérante ! » a-t-il déclaré. L'empoisonnement à l'argent est une torture. Ma louve dépérissait. Je suppliais qu'on me fasse grâce, me noyant dans la souffrance. Lila, elle, se blottissait contre Damien, la voix dégoulinait d'une fausse inquiétude. « Serena est quand même ta compagne. Quand elle souffre, tu souffres aussi. Ça me fait mal de te voir endurer cela. » Plus tard, pour rendre Lila heureuse, Damien est allé jusqu'à lui donner publiquement ma place au Conseil de la Meute — à elle, une fille qui n'y connaissait absolument rien. Cette fois, je n'ai rien dit. Je me suis contentée de rompre notre lien de compagnons. Quelques jours plus tard, alors qu'il se tordait de douleur à cause de la rupture de notre lien, il a enfin appris la nouvelle. J'avais rejoint l'unité d'élite du Roi, les Serres. Et je n'y reviendrais jamais. Il s'est effondré.

Ich band mich gerade mit meinem Gefährten, Alpha Damien, als er ein Waisenkind nach Hause brachte, um eine „Lebensschuld“ zu begleichen.
 Von diesem Tag an stand ich immer an zweiter Stelle – hinter dem Mädchen Lila. Immer. Lila hängte mir etwas an und behauptete, ich zwang sie, die Kontrolle über ihre Wölfin zu verlieren. Dafür ließ Damien mich drei Tage und drei Nächte in die Silberzellen sperren. „Das Silber wird dir beibringen, eine tolerante Luna zu sein!“ Silbervergiftung war Folter. Meine Wölfin verkümmerte. Ich flehte um Gnade und versank in Qualen.
Doch Lila schmiegte sich nur an ihn, ihre Stimme triefte vor gespielter Besorgnis.
„Serena ist schließlich deine Gefährtin. Wenn sie leidet, leidest du auch. Es tut mir weh, dich so leiden zu sehen.“ Später, um Lila glücklich zu machen, überließ Damien ihr öffentlich meinen Sitz im Rudelrat – einem Mädchen, das nichts verstand. Diesmal sagte ich nichts. Ich trennte einfach unsere Gefährtenbindung. Tage später, als er sich vor Schmerzen wegen der zerbrochenen Bindung wand, erfuhr er schließlich die Nachricht:
Ich war der königlichen Eliteeinheit, den Talons, beigetreten. Und ich kehrte niemals zurück. Er zerbrach.

Gavin became Alpha right after our mating ceremony. His older brother, Damien—the former Alpha—was dead. Killed by a rival pack from the North. Gavin took his brother's mate, Sarah, and headed north. He claimed he was avenging his brother. He swore he'd expand our territory. He told me the expansion was too dangerous. He didn't want me to get hurt. So I was left behind. Left to rule a dying pack in the south, with only my healing gift to keep us from collapsing. I bled myself for healing serums, all to ensure his northern campaign didn't falter. Every time I sent word asking when our packs would merge, he'd give me an excuse. His position in the North was unstable. They'd just finished a war. It wasn't the right time. Seven years later, the pack couldn't hold on any longer. I sent Leon, my last remaining beta, to find Gavin. Leon’s message back told a different story. Gavin's new pack was already one of the three great powers in the North. And he had a pup with Sarah. A public one. Pain, sharp and swift, lanced through my chest. I marched to the pack elders and demanded they sever our mate bond. Then, I sent a message to the Healers' Guild that had been recruiting me for years: "I'm severing my bond. I'll be packless in three days. Tell the Guild I'm in."

I was eghteen and homeless for almost a year until I was found in the woods by someone compelled to help. This woman feels a connection with me and knows my secret. I was unaware werewolfs existed until I became one and she's one too. Her family takes me in and I become an added member of the Alphas family. I owe them my life and they've given me so much more then I ever hoped for. It worries me though that I can't help but feel like something bad may happen. It's probably just my pessimistic nature I'm sure it will get better over time.

El año en que renací fue el año en que comenzó la guerra de los vampiros. Lo primero que hice fue deshacerme del cachorro. El cachorro de mi compañero. El del Alfa Lucas. En mi última vida, él encubrió a su amiga de la infancia, Sarah, cuando ella se apareó con un vampiro. Tomó a mi propio cachorro de sangre pura y lo intercambió con el de ella, un bastardo mestizo. Me tildaron de traidora. Me torturaron hasta la muerte en una mazmorra de plata. Y mi propio cachorro, con el cerebro lavado por Sarah, se paró junto a mi cadáver y me dijo que me pudriera en el infierno. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba embarazada de tres meses. No lo dudé. Fui directamente a la cabaña de la bruja y bebí el veneno que me dio. Pero mientras una vida se agotaba, descorché otra botella: una costosa Poción Mímica. Esta simulaba el latido del corazón de un cachorro y hacía desprender el aroma de una madre en cinta. Lucas quiere un cachorro para que cargue con la culpa del crimen de Sarah. Bien. Le voy a dar un espectáculo. Esta vez, no tengo ninguna debilidad.
