01:48hand and headed for the door i wanted to howl but my wolf was too weak to answer i shifted
01:53anyway
01:54forced it a small white wolf trembling on the floor ribs heaving maybe in this form the pain would hurt
02:01less it didn't i couldn't even hold the shift i slipped back into myself without meaning to
02:06sorry mom i won't lie anymore but the pain got worse way worse the door handle turned for one second

08:54just touched my hand you'd know i was ice cold but you didn't you believed the choker not the daughter
09:00you carried for nine months that night a rat crawled out of my empty cabinet i used to scream whenever

09:13into my toe i didn't feel anything my wolf charged at it anyway and passed right through landing on the
09:20other side she turned back to look at me confused lost i pulled her close and buried my face in
09:27the
09:27fur of her back it's okay you can't feel it anymore it'll be over soon she let out one low
09:35growl then went
09:36still against me finally no more pain for either of us the next morning sunlight streamed through the
09:43window no warmth reached my body in the kitchen i could hear mom making breakfast the smell of roasted
09:50meat crept under my door my favorite but mom always said liars don't deserve meat so i only ever got
09:57steamed vegetables she was clanging the pots extra loud on purpose trying to tempt me out trying to make
10:04me give in and apologize for things i never did in the old days i might have caved i might
10:10have
10:10confessed to anything for one bite of roasted meat but i don't need food anymore stella still hasn't come
10:17out yet dad asked reading the pack notices she is so stubborn she can eat or not i don't care
10:26emma walked to my door and made a big show of sniffing the air then she screamed dramatically
10:32mom stella's room smells like poop did she poop in there i floated by the door watching my sister
10:40with a bitter smile my wolf sat beside me ears flat eyes low the hearth was burning hot after just
10:49one
10:49night my body started to rot mom stormed over pounding on the door stella who does that the toilet
10:58is right there did you shit on the floor to spite me i remembered being six i had food poisoning
11:05couldn't make it to the toilet in time mom didn't help me clean up she made me stand outside pointed
11:12at me and told the neighbors look at this she's such a mess she can't even use the toilet herself
11:18now she
11:19thought i was dirty again leave her let her sit in her own stink but dad stood up frowning that
11:27smells
11:27really bad i should check could it be a dead rat or something my heart if i still had one
11:34leapt dad
11:35please open the door i'm right here just turn the handle and you'll see i'm not moving i waved my
11:43transparent arms frantically my wolf ran straight to my bedroom door willing dad to open it dad's hand
11:51touched the door handle his hand froze one was pounding at the front door a pack elder urgent business
11:57dad's face went pale he grabbed his cloak the border there's an emergency he was already out
12:03the door i froze so close one second away if that knock had come one second later i would have
12:10been
12:10found maybe then i wouldn't have rotted alone that afternoon mom took emma to the pack market the house
12:16was empty except for my corpse when they came back that evening loaded down with food and gifts from
12:21the market the smell had gotten worse mom gagged the second she walked in stella are you trying to
12:27turn this place into a den of inequity she didn't even open my door just grabbed cloth strips and sealed
12:33the gap at the bottom if you want to stay in there and make disgusting stew zoos don't stink up
12:37my house
12:38she patted her hands together satisfied then went to prepare dinner i stared at that sealed door my wolf
12:44pressed her nose against it and whimpered once so that's it i'm worth less than a venison dinner by day
12:50three even the cloth strips couldn't contain the smell mom was arranging fresh wildflowers trying
12:55to cover it up but the stench of death is unmistakable sweet rotten oily she cut a rose stem too
13:02hard
13:02a thorn pierced her hand she snapped in her mind i was doing this on purpose not bathing poop on
13:09the floor
13:09hiding dead rats in my room all to piss her off all to defy her authority as luna
13:14stella she grabbed a rolling pin from the kitchen stormed toward my room i'm done with you you
13:21disgusting little brat time you learned what real pain feels like i floated in front of her waving my
13:28arms desperately don't come in mom please please even though she never loved me i didn't want her to
13:36see me like that but she walked right through me ripped the cloth strips off jammed the spare key
13:42into the lock the door flew open the smell hit her like a wall she stumbled back retching stella
13:48what are you doing she saw me still slumped over the desk back turned not moving to her this was
13:55the
13:55ultimate rebellion i'm talking to you she marched over raised the rolling pin but stopped she wanted
14:03to see my face first wanted to see my get up she grabbed the back of my shirt grabbed my
14:08skin the
14:09moment she touched me she froze through the thin fabric her hand didn't feel warm flesh she felt
14:15cold hard dead meat the kind of cold that seeps into your bones but momentum carried her forward
14:22she yanked crash my body stiff as a board toppled backward taking the chair with it and there was
14:29my face blue black eyes bulging features twisted in agony dried foam and blood crusted around my mouth
14:35around my blackened neck the verity choker hung lifeless the gem dark no red no green just silence
14:43my journal slid off the desk fell open at mom's feet the last page stared up at her mom my
14:50stomach
14:50really hurts the choker is wrong i'm not lying please don't punish me mom screamed not a wolf's howl a
14:58raw
14:58guttural shriek that tore through her throat she stumbled backward slammed into the bookshelf
15:04a clay pot shattered but she didn't seem to feel the pain she just stared at me eyes wide unblinking
15:14no no no no this is not real stella get up stella get up i'm not mad anymore stop scaring
15:23me
15:24her hand reached out trembling to touch my arm the second her skin made contact with my corpse
15:31she recoiled like she'd been burned that cold was too real lisa from next door heard the screaming and
15:38went straight to the pack healer when she saw what was in my room she collapsed in the gate within
15:43the
15:44hour heavy boots on the floorboards the pack healer and a handful of pack warriors crowding the entrance
15:50mom sat on the floor a warrior's hand on her shoulder she's speaking it she's always lying
15:58it doesn't lie i'm just teaching her no one responded they all looked at her like she was a monster
16:05the pack healer crouched next to my body he muttered under his breath severe malnutrition organ failure
16:13this puppy has been starved for at least a month he carefully tried to remove the verity choker
16:18but it had fused years of tightening had pressed the leather deep into the skin of my neck
16:25damn it he had to use tools to pry it off even dead my soul flinched my wolf lifted her
16:31head and
16:34long raw desperate the kind of howl that should have shaken the walls no one heard it no one
16:41flinched we were already dead a warrior picked up my journal started reading his face went from neutral
16:48to horrified mom's eyes locked on to that book that's her confession she admits she lied look she wrote
16:57it herself the warrior pushed her back wrapped the journal in cloth and took it we'll report it to
17:05the council that's when dad got home he saw the pack healer and the pack warriors crowding the doorway
17:11saw the body wrap being carried out saw the long cord that sealed away my entire life his legs gave
17:20out
17:20he collapsed on the doorstep emma stood nearby sobbing in confusion she pointed at the discolored
17:27verity choker on the table why does stella have a black collar and i have a green one see she
17:34held up
17:34her neck the gem blinked its steady green it was grotesque the council elders arrived before dawn
17:42mom straightened when she saw them even now even with my body three days cold and rotting her luna
17:49instincts kicked in she lifted her chin squared her shoulders it didn't work today they started
17:56questioning mom in the living room mom grabbed the verity choker off the table like it was a lifeline
18:02test it that choker proved she was lying red gem means lie i never abused her the choker told me
18:13i was just educating her the council elders looked at her like she'd lost her mind the pup shows signs
18:21of

18:29that's dis discipline that's teaching her to be honest then she did something insane you don't believe me
18:38fine i'll wear it
18:42watch it'll be green the leather pressed against her skin cold sticky that was my blood
18:51she took a deep breath tried to calm herself she needed to prove she was innocent needed to
18:57prove her way of raising an alpha heir was right she held up the gem eyes wild listen i'm rachel
19:05i'm stella's mother this is the truth the absolute truth the gem flashed red mom's confident expression
19:14shattered i said truth i am rachel i never abused her i did it for her own good i love
19:26her and suddenly
19:28she remembered me 10 years old gasping as the choker tightened around my throat biting my lip so i
19:37wouldn't make a sound is this what it felt like why is it red i am telling the truth turn
19:44green

19:52you're a liar you're a liar enough this is just a bloodstone i've seen it before it changes color with
20:01body
20:02heat fear pain anything that makes your heart race temperature rises it burns red that's all it does
20:11no witch magic never was think about your daughter ruptured appendix organ failure the pain must have
20:20been unbearable she was terrified and what did you see a red gem so you punished her more which made
20:29her
20:29more scared which made her temperature rise which made the stone turn redder you are luna you are
20:40supposed to protect every wolf in this pack you couldn't even protect your own daughter you ignored
20:47her cries for help you starved your daughter to death mom's world collapsed she sat there staring at the
20:55flashing gem on her own net and finally understood for 10 years every red light wasn't because i was lying
21:03it was because i was scared scared of her anger scared of being misunderstood scared of eating food
21:11that made me sick i was in pain pain that made my heart race and cold sweat pour down my
21:17face i was
21:19desperate desperate for a hug for her to hold me the way she held emma every signal from my frightened
21:26heart she had interpreted as proof of my lies no get it off
21:35i'm not lying i'm not she tried to shift fur rippling across her skin bones cracking but the leather
21:42cinched harder around her throat the moment her neck began to change she snapped back into human form
21:49gasping i can't get it off stella take it back i'm sorry it's all my fault this little bit of
21:59choking
21:59and she was already breaking mom i suffered for 10 years the council elders needed evidence for judgment
22:09so they opened my journal in front of my parents february 14th sunny mom put celery on my plate i'm
22:17allergic my throat swells i can't breathe i said i can't eat it but because i was scared of making
22:23her
22:24angry my body ran hot the gem flashed red the choker tightened mom said i was picky lying made me
22:34eat the
22:34whole plate that night i threw up blood my throat felt like it was on fire i shifted to ease
22:41my pain
22:42mom saw it and said i'd snuck berry juice that i was faking the choker tightened for 10 more minutes
22:50mom's hand flew to her mouth she was shaking violently she remembered that she really did think
22:58it was berry juice she didn't even look closely just turned away to read emma a bedtime story that
23:05was blood from a swollen torn throat june 1st pups day emma shredded mom's ceremonial cloak emma's
23:14heart is always calm her gem stays green i tried to explain but i was scared of being hit my
23:22body ran
23:22hot red gem choker tightened for 10 minutes it hurt so bad but i didn't cry because crying makes your
23:32body run hotter and mom thinks that means you're not sorry so i held my breath pretended it didn't
23:39hurt mom said see she doesn't even blink she's definitely faking it dad couldn't take it anymore this
23:47man who had always put the pack before his own family chose duty over his daughter for 10 years
23:54you monster what did you do that was your daughter you treated her like a stray blood at the corner
24:03of
24:03her mouth not my fault not my fault it's her it's emma emma's gem was always green emma was a
24:11good one
24:12if it wasn't for that green light making me trust her i wouldn't have believed the red light so much
24:17this is emma's thoughts that little princess everyone had protected one of the council elders walked
24:24over gently removed the green verity choker from her neck took out a blade pried the gem loose right
24:30there it rolled onto the table still glowing green steady unchanged the elder picked up the stone
24:39a glowstone that is all your younger daughter's choker was always going to shine green no matter
24:47what she said did or lied about it would never change your so-called verity choker was a fraud
24:56that was her truth for 10 years that was the evidence she used to convict me a common glowstone
25:03that put me in hell while emma lived in paradise so i wasn't a liar i i laughed laughed until
25:11i cried
25:11turns out ghosts could cry too the elder turned to the last page of the journal his voice broke the
25:18handwriting was a mess clearly written while dying mom if i die will the choker stop glowing red or if
25:25it
25:25turns green will you hug me then i'm not lying i couldn't heal myself anymore my stomach hurts so
25:33much like knives next life please don't make me wear the choker please i just want to be a normal
25:40pup
25:41i want to eat mom's roasted meat mom stared at the broken glowstone on the table that truth magic she
25:47trusted without question a worthless stone because of that stone she spoiled emma for 10 years because
25:54of that cursed red light she tortured me for 10 years
26:02mom started laughing her voice cracking in every sound worse than crying fake all fake
26:13i killed my most honest pup and i worshipped a liar she'd lost her mind for real this time my
26:22death became
26:23the talk of the entire pack lisa the neighbor who had sent for the pack healer told everyone what
26:29she'd seen every wolf knew by morning luna had starved her own daughter to death monster murderer
26:38she doesn't deserve to be luna stones flew at our door the word killer carved into the wall the council
26:46convened within the day the verdict was swift dad lost his alpha title no wolf would follow
26:53him now my grandfather the former alpha read out the judgment himself he didn't look at his son once
27:00dad walked out of the council hall and never looked back he took emma and left the pack that same
27:06night
27:07emma was a bad seed sure but she was still his blood before they left emma tried to take her
27:13green
27:14choker dad stomped on it why the hell would you want that piece of trash emma cried as he dragged
27:20her away
27:21mom got out of the dungeon the healer said she had lost her mind the council locked her in the
27:27home
27:27instead the one that still smelled like death her mental state deteriorated fast she refused to take
27:34off the red choker she would tighten it herself whenever the guilt got too heavy she said choking
27:40was the only thing that eased it it was her self-imposed punishment i floated in the darkness my wolf
27:46curled
27:47beside me watching her unravel day after day she'd talk to the empty corner where i used to stand
27:53stella i brought you some food no celery today it's all roast just how you like it but there was
28:00no food
28:01there was nothing just her hands cupped around air she'd pretend to set a plate down her hands shook
28:08the gem flashed red she was anxious guilty falling apart she smiled but her eyes were empty the gem is
28:17red mom is lying liars don't deserve food she pulled the choker tight with her own hands let it choke
28:25her
28:25her body convulsed against the cold floor it hurts so much is this how stella felt i'm sorry mom started
28:34reenacting my diary entries i couldn't eat celery because of my allergy so she forced herself to eat
28:42spoiled food until she vomited blood then swallowed it back down i was locked in isolation so she locked
28:50herself in my old room lights off and bowed to my portrait until her forehead bled over and over blood
28:59on
28:59the floor late at night she'd see the red glow of the bloodstone reflected on the wall to her it
29:06looked
29:06like my bloody eyes were watching she kept punishing herself the wounds healed slower and slower her wolf
29:14exhausted by months of self-torture slowly fell into a deep sleep mom didn't care she scrawled on the back
29:21of my journal i'm sorry i was wrong red means pain red means love please come back and say it
29:29hurts hurts
29:30one more time i'll save you i promise too bad i'm dead dead wolves can't cry for help eventually the
29:38new
29:38alpha intervened mom's self-harm had gone too far she'd nearly choked herself to death with her own hands
29:45he ordered her to move to a small hut at the far edge of the village locked from the outside
29:51someone
29:52posted to watch her day and night she was the strangest woman they'd ever seen nobody knew where
29:58she'd found it a frayed red cord tied around her own neck her homemade choker if anyone tried to remove
30:06it she'd snap at them teeth bared snarling wild-eyed don't touch me stella's watching she'll be angry
30:15if you take it every time the guard called her name and brought her food mom would grab the red
30:21cord and pull it tight against her own throat convulsing screaming red light red light don't
30:29punish punish me i'll eat i'll eat even if the food was scalding hot she'd gulp it down burning her
30:37throat
30:38wouldn't spit it out she was reenacting my final moments living my hell on repeat years later
30:45emma grew up without guidance and with a trail of shame behind her she drifted from pack to pack
30:51stealing to survive no one would take her in when she ran out of options she remembered mom was still
30:59alive she slipped back into the silverman pack under the cover of night not for love for money
31:06hey crazy lady dad's dead give me whatever you've been hiding emma stood there face hard eyes full of
31:14contempt she looked at mom's hollow broken form and spat on the floor it's disgusting give me what i
31:23want or i'll send you to meet your daughter for a moment mom's cloudy eyes cleared she looked at emma
31:30and suddenly remembered that choker that always green glowstone that decade of deception
31:38it's you you lie you're the green light that wasn't there you killed stella give her back to me give
31:47her
31:47back to me the last shred of maternal love twisted into something feral mom lunged grabbed emma by the
31:55throat should have died not her you
32:02emma thrashed but couldn't break free from a mad woman's grip the guards rushed in pulled her off
32:08emma stumbled out of the hut terrified they're all insane she bolted into the forest she didn't get
32:16far rogues the kind that haunted the borderlands preying on anyone foolish enough to run through the
32:22trees alone at night emma never saw them coming by the time she did it was too late she survived
32:30barely
32:31both legs shattered beyond repair she'd never walk again meanwhile mom was strapped to her cot
32:38staring at the ceiling tears streaming in her dreams she finally saw me i was 10 again no choker
32:46white dress smiling mom she reached for me crying with joy stella but the moment her hands touched me
32:55i burst into ash no she woke up screaming if she'd been wearing that choker it would have been blood
33:03red eternal torment i stood in the void watching it all mom strapped to her bed emma in a wheelchair
33:11begging on the market dad drunk and dead in some gutter i felt nothing no satisfaction just a flat
33:19dead calm my wolf padded over quietly she didn't howl didn't nudge just pressed her head against my hand
33:27and held it there in the distance a door of light appeared soft steady waiting i looked at my wolf
33:35she
33:36looked at me yeah time to leave this life was too bitter nothing worth holding on to i floated to
33:43mom's hut one final time she looked ancient hair completely white frail as paper she sent something
33:49her cloudy eyes focused on a point in the air right where i stood stella is that you her trembling
33:55hand
33:56reached into the emptiness mom destroyed the choker i don't believe in it anymore come back please i'll
34:02cook for you no salary i'll buy you new dresses not emma tears rolled down her face i looked at
34:08the
34:09red marks on her neck from the frayed cord i i reached out my cold ghostly finger touched her
34:15forehead this was my final mercy sleep mom in sleep there's no pain her eyes fluttered shut she slumped
34:22into a deep dreamless rest a breeze blew through the hut the old journal on her cot flipped open the
34:29last
34:29page my dying words stared up at the ceiling but below it in shaky handwriting were new lines written
34:36by mom during a lucid moment next life let me wear the choker let me be the liar punish me
34:42however you
34:43want just don't leave me i stared at those words felt nothing too late repentance means nothing to the dead
34:50mom i don't hate you anymore but i don't love you either let's not meet again i turned away my
34:57wolf was
34:57waiting in the distance the door of light still glowed soft steady patient i looked at my neck the
35:04phantom verity choker still there even in spirit form the nightmare that had changed me for a lifetime
35:10i grabbed it it shattered into nothing i felt weightless free no red light no hunger no lies just
35:17freedom my wolf pressed against my side together we walked toward the light i didn't look back morning
35:24came a guard pushed open the door rachel time to eat no response she walked closer mom's hand clutched
35:30the torn journal a single tear crystallized at the corner of her eye she crouched beside her held two
35:36fingers beneath her nose nothing she was gone
35:38she was gone
