I'd Rather Feel Pain Than Nothing At All

Alpha Sébastien me détestait plus que tout, moi, sa compagne destinée. Juste parce que je n'étais qu'une humaine, une créature inutile sans griffes. Son cœur appartenait entièrement à son amie d'enfance Jeanne. Il m'a détestée pendant dix ans après la mort accidentelle de Jeanne. Mais quand une bombe d'une meute ennemie a explosé devant notre grotte, il m'a sauvée. Avant de mourir, il a reposé dans mes bras, couvert de sang, et a repoussé ma main tremblante avec ses dernières forces. « Hélène, si la Déesse de la Lune ne nous avait pas fait rencontrer... » Lors des funérailles, l'ancienne Luna, la mère de Sébastien, m'a serrée par le col et a sangloté de façon incontrôlable. « Sébastien, tout est de ma faute. Je n'aurais pas dû te forcer à accepter cette humaine. Est-ce que tout cela serait arrivé aujourd'hui si je t'avais soutenu dans ton choix de Jeanne ? » Je n'ai pas répondu, car elle avait raison. Après avoir été traînée hors de ces funérailles, je suis montée seule à la Crête de la Chute du Ciel, un terrain sacré pour la meute, et j'ai sauté. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, je me retrouvait transportée au jour où la Déesse de la lune m'a désignée comme la compagne de Sébastien. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de rompre tous liens avec Sébastien et de donner à tout le monde ce qu'ils voulaient vraiment.

Just because my sister, Yvonne Lindell, claims I swapped Grandma's medicine with sugar pellets and caused her death, Mom locks me inside the cremator. I kneel and beg, but Mom spits at me in disgust. "You wretched girl, stay still! You killed your grandma by secretly switching her medicine. Now go repent to her properly!" Dad hesitates, unable to bear it. "Maybe we should let her out. What if—" "What are you afraid of? Don't forget that she killed your mother! If we don't teach her a lesson this time, who knows who she'll kill next!" The voices outside the door gradually fade, and my heart sinks to the bottom. The flames slowly begin to lick at my body. In despair, I clutch Grandma's cold hand beside me. "Grandma, I'm sorry. I should've taken better care of your medicine. But I swear, I didn't replace it with sugar pellets. Maybe only in death, can I truly atone for this sin…"

I once thought Jareth was the love of my life. He said "Mom's in the hospital," but then turned around and kissed Lily in the VIP seats at the concert; when his bipolar disorder flared up, he was violent with me, but then told Lily, "You’re such a good girl"; he had videos with Lily saved on his phone, and in the chat records, he called me "the cold, emotionless finance robot."
