00:02my mom called me a liar from the day i was born not because i actually lied but because of
00:07this
00:07thing around my neck the verity choker mom was luna of silver moon pack and she believed one
00:12thing above all lying was the mark of a weak wolf we were her daughters future alpha heirs
00:18weakness was not an option so when my twin sister emma and i were born mom clasped these chokers
00:24around our throats which had witch magic to detect lies green light means truth red light
00:29means you were lying emma's choker always green she could shred mom's ceremonial cloak and blame the
00:35cat and gem would glow a steady green not me green light believed me mom i'm hungry and flash red
00:46light
00:46the choker choked tight i shifted on instinct a small white wolf pawing desperately at the gem around my
00:53neck claws scraping against it unable to get it off i'm not lying not lying please but mom's
00:59eyes had already gone cold instant punishment mom's punishment wasn't gentle no food locked in
01:06my room no contact with anyone in the pack the truth necklace doesn't lie stella starve now study
01:12later i'm doing this for your own good after 10 years of this i started believing it too maybe i
01:19really was born wrong new year's eve everything changed mom was getting ready to take emma to the
01:24pax bonfire celebration and that's when the pain hit like a knife twisting in my gut i collapsed on
01:31the floor my skeletal frame curling into itself mom please the choker flashed red and choked tight
01:39she looked down at me disgusted in her eyes in your dream stella faking an illness to ruin our night
01:47she grabbed emma's hand and headed for the door i wanted to howl but my wolf was too weak to
01:52answer
01:52i shifted anyway forced it a small white wolf trembling on the floor ribs heaving maybe in this
01:59form the pain would hurt less it didn't i couldn't even hold the shift i slipped back into myself without
02:06meaning to sorry mom i won't lie anymore but the pain got worse way worse the door handle turned for
02:13one second i thought mom's coming back she came back for me hurry up the bonfire is starting emma's
02:20waiting mom i reached out with a shaking hand please something's really wrong i feel like i'm dying she
02:27glanced at my neck the gem was flashing red over and over she crouched down grabbed my chin stella how
02:35long
02:35are you gonna keep this up can't you just be honest and stay here and think about what you've
02:41done dad appeared in the doorway honey should we at least leave her some food food she has a stash
02:49of snacks she bought with stolen money she won't starve lock the door when that gem turns green we'll
02:56talk but but what it's because you spoil her that she turned out this way look at emma her gem
03:05has
03:05always been green stella is a liar an alpha heiress who can't tell the truth she needs discipline but my
03:13cabinet was empty emma stole that money emma ate those snacks emma just stood there with her glowing green
03:20gem saying not me and mom believed her i tried to defend myself it wasn't me red light the choker
03:29choked tight i tried to shift nothing happened deep inside my wolf barely stirred mom locked me up for
03:37three days with nothing but water and stale bread mom turned to leave emma peeked through the door made a
03:43face at me bye sis we're gonna see the bonfire her gem glowed a steady green so pretty the door
03:52locked
03:52the house went silent i called my wolf nothing came back not even a whisper just me alone the pain
04:01was unbearable but i kept thinking mom's right the gem doesn't lie it's red so i must be lying
04:10i'm not in pain i'm not in pain i'm not in pain i kept repeating it like a prayer eventually
04:19i almost
04:21believed it the pain dulled or maybe i was just going numb i crawled to my desk i had to
04:28write that
04:29was the rule if the gem glowed red i had to pen a thousand word apology or mom would never
04:36let me out
04:37i am a liar write it down and maybe mom would forgive me maybe she'd even let me out i
04:45opened my
04:45journal pages and pages of apologies i'd written over the years sorry i lied i won't do it again but
04:53this time i wanted to write the truth my vision blurred my hand shook as i wrote mom i really
05:02love
05:02you it really hurts why won't you believe me please believe me just once the moment i finished the
05:11last word the pain vanished just gone i felt light weightless i looked down i was floating and there
05:21slumped over the desk was my body motionless the gem still flashing red around a dead girl's neck
05:28oh i'm dead and then she came out my wolf stepping out of my body like she'd been waiting all
05:36along
05:37small skinny barely holding together she looked up at me and once soft and low in the pack's old
05:47stories they say when a wolf dies young her spirit doesn't cross over alone her wolf walks beside her
05:54until they find the door together i knelt down she pressed her nose into my ghostly palm finally we
06:01were together now but i never learned how to be honest sorry mom i heard laughter mom dad emma coming
06:10through the front door tonight's bonfire was beautiful the best one yet just like our emma perfect
06:19in every way i'd never heard her sound like that when she talked about me i floated toward them
06:24my wolf patting silently at my side moving on instinct i wanted to help them take off their cloaks
06:30that's what i always did mom my arms passed right through her body like wind is it so cold here
06:39is the hearty out i stood there staring at my transparent hands my wolf pressed against my leg
06:45and looked up at me with sad eyes right dead wolves couldn't hug the living shall we go and see
06:51stella
06:52she hasn't eaten yet still the good cop i looked at mom hopefully if she found me dead would she
06:59be sad
06:59would she regret it she won't starve she is a werewolf not a human pup this whole fake sick for
07:09attention thing is out of control i laughed bitterly mom wasn't wrong werewolves heal but i hadn't been able
07:16to in a long time last winter the choker left bruises that stayed for days that hadn't happened before i
07:23reached
07:24for my wolf she was still there but the warmth never came she was too hungry just like me mom
07:31never
07:32noticed she only ever looked at my neck for one thing the gem and whether it was red or green
07:39mom
07:39pushed open my door didn't even turn on the light just for a second her eyes flashed gold her wolf
07:46might
07:46have known mom didn't listen in the dim glow from the hallway she saw me slumped over my desk i
07:52looked
07:53like a skeleton hadn't moved still putting on an act you're 10 years old not five grow up mom i'm
08:02not
08:03playing i'm dead look at me touch me i'm freezing she couldn't hear me she only believed what she wanted
08:11to see emma squeezed past her held up her choker with that smug little grin look my gem is green
08:18stella's is still red she's lying even in her sleep that's my good girl ignore the liar let her stay

08:34bed
08:34look at that red gem still lying come on leave her we have to visit grandma tomorrow
08:41the door locked again i floated next to my corpse my wolf curled silently at my feet staring at that
08:48single point of red light in the darkness mom if you just stepped closer if you just touched my hand
08:55you'd know i was ice cold but you didn't you believed the choker not the daughter you carried
09:00for nine months that night a rat crawled out of my empty cabinet i used to scream whenever i saw
09:07rats
09:07but now i just floated by the ceiling watching it scurry across my dead body the rat bit into my
09:13toe
09:14i didn't feel anything my wolf charged at it anyway and passed right through landing on the other side
09:21she turned back to look at me confused lost i pulled her close and buried my face in the fur
09:28of her back
09:28it's okay you can't feel it anymore it'll be over soon she let out one low growl then went still
09:36against me finally no more pain for either of us the next morning sunlight streamed through the window
09:44no warmth reached my body in the kitchen i could hear mom making breakfast the smell of roasted meat
09:50crept under my door my favorite but mom always said liars don't deserve meat so i only ever got steamed
09:57vegetables she was clanging the pots extra loud on purpose trying to tempt me out trying to make me
10:04give in and apologize for things i never did in the old days i might have caved i might have
10:10confessed
10:10to anything for one bite of roasted meat but i don't need food anymore stella still hasn't come out yet
10:17dad 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
10:33mom stella's room smells like poop did she poop in there i floated by the door watching my sister with
10:41a bitter smile my wolf sat beside me ears flat eyes low the hearth was burning hot after just one
10:49night
10:50my body started to rot mom stormed over pounding on the door stella who does that the toilet is right
10:58there did you sit on the floor to spite me i remembered being six i had food poisoning couldn't
11:06make it to the toilet in time mom didn't help me clean up she made me stand outside pointed at
11:12me and
11:12told the neighbors look at this she's such a mess she can't even use the toilet herself now she thought
11:19i was dirty again leave her let her sit in her own stink but dad stood up frowning that smells
11:27really
11:27bad i should check could it be a dead rat or something my heart if i still had one lept
11:34dad please open the
11:37door i'm right here just turn the handle and you'll see i'm not moving i waved my transparent arms
11:44frantically my wolf ran straight to my bedroom door willing dad to open it dad's hand touched
11:51the door handle his hand froze someone was pounding at the front door a pack elder urgent business dad's
11:57face went pale he grabbed his cloak the border there's an emergency he was already out the door i froze
12:04so close one second away if that knock had come one second later i would have been found maybe then
12:11i wouldn't have rotted alone that afternoon mom took emma to the pack market the house was empty except
12:17for my corpse when they came back that evening loaded down with food and gifts from the market the smell
12:22had gotten worse mom gagged the second she walked in stella are you trying to turn this place into a
12:28den of
12:29inequity she didn't even open my door just grabbed cloth strips and sealed the gap at the bottom if
12:34you want to stay in there and make disgusting stew zoos don't stink up my house she patted her hands
12:39together satisfied then went to prepare dinner i stared at that sealed door my wolf pressed her nose
12:45against it and whimpered once so that's it i'm worth less than a venison dinner by day three even the
12:50cloth strips couldn't contain the smell mom was arranging fresh wildflowers trying to cover it up
12:55but the stench of death is unmistakable sweet rotten oily she cut a rose stem too hard
13:02a thorn pierced her hand she snapped in her mind i was doing this on purpose not bathing poop on
13:09the
13:09floor hiding dead rats in my room all to piss her off all to defy her authority as luna stella
13:15she
13:16grabbed a rolling pin from the kitchen stormed toward my room i'm done with you you disgusting little
13:22brat time you learned what real pain feels like i floated in front of her waving my arms desperately
13:28don't come in mom please please even though she never loved me i didn't want her to see me like
13:37that
13:37but she walked right through me ripped the cloth strips off jammed the spare key into the lock the
13:43door flew open the smell hit her like a wall she stumbled back retching stella what are you doing she
13:50saw me still slumped over the desk back turned not moving to her this was the ultimate rebellion
13:57i'm talking to you she marched over raised the rolling pin but stopped she wanted to see my face
14:03first wanted to see my get up she grabbed the back of my shirt grabbed my skin the moment she
14:09touched me
14:10she froze through the thin fabric her hand didn't feel warm flesh she felt cold hard dead meat the kind
14:17of
14:18cold that seeps into your bones what but momentum carried her forward she yanked crash my body stiff
14:25as a board toppled backward taking the chair with it and there was my face blue black eyes bulging
14:31features twisted in agony dried foam and blood crusted around my mouth around my blackened neck the verity
14:38choker hung lifeless the gem dark no red no green just silence my journal slid off the desk fell open
14:46at mom's feet the last page stared up at her mom my stomach really hurts the choker is wrong i'm
14:53not
14:53lying please don't punish me mom screamed not a wolf's howl a raw guttural shriek that tore through her
15:01throat she stumbled backward slammed into the bookshelf a clay pot shattered but she didn't
15:07seem to feel the pain she just stared at me eyes wide unblinking no no no no this is not
15:17real
15:17stella get up stella get up get up i'm not mad anymore stop scaring me
15:24her hand reached out trembling to touch my arm the second her skin made contact with my corpse
15:30she recoiled like she'd been burned that cold was too real lisa from next door heard the screaming
15:37and went straight to the pack healer when she saw what was in my room she collapsed in the gate
15:43within the hour heavy boots on the floorboards the pack healer and a handful of pack warriors crowding
15:49the entrance mom 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
16:12failure this 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
16:24damn 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 flinched
16:42we were already dead a warrior picked up my journal started reading his face went from neutral to
16:49horrified mom's eyes locked onto that book that's her confession she admits she lied look she wrote it
16:57herself
16:59the warrior pushed her back wrapped the journal in cloth and took it we'll report it to the council that's
17:06when
17:06dad got home he saw the pack healer and the pack warriors crowding the doorway saw the body wrap being
17:13carried out saw the long cord that sealed away my entire life his legs gave out he collapsed on the
17:21doorstep emma stood nearby sobbing in confusion she pointed at the discolored verity choker on the table
17:28why does stella have a black collar and i have a green one see she held up her neck the
17:35gem blinked
17:36its steady green it was grotesque the council elders arrived before dawn mom straightened when
17:43she saw them even now even with my body three days cold and rotting her luna instincts kicked in she
17:51lifted her chin squared her shoulders it didn't work today they started questioning mom in the living
17:57room mom grabbed the verity choker off the table like it was a lifeline test it that choker proved she
18:04was lying red gem means lie i never abused her the choker told me i was just educating her the
18:15council
18:16elders looked at her like she'd lost her mind the pup shows signs of extreme malnutrition months of
18:23starvation aphelion multiple old injuries consistent with prolonged that's just discipline that's teaching
18:32her to be honest then she did something insane you don't believe me fine i'll wear it
18:43watch it'll be green the leather pressed against her skin cold sticky that was my blood she took a
18:51deep breath tried to calm herself she needed to prove she was innocent needed to prove her way of
18:58raising and alpha air was right she held up the gem eyes wild listen i'm rachel i'm stella's mother
19:07this is the truth the absolute truth the gem flashed red mom's confident expression shattered
19:16i said truth i am rachel i never abused her i did it for her own good
19:25i love her and suddenly she remembered me 10 years old gasping as the choker tightened around
19:34my throat biting my lip so i wouldn't make a sound is this what it felt like why is it
19:41red i am telling
19:43the truth turn green you're broken you're setting me up but the gem kept flashing like it was mocking her

20:01color with body heat fear pain anything that makes your heart race temperature rises it burns red that's
20:10all it does no witch magic never was think about your daughter ruptured appendix organ failure the pain
20:19must have been unbearable she was terrified and what did you see a red gem so you punished her more
20:28which made her more scared which made her temperature rise which made the stone turn redder
20:37you are luna you are supposed to protect every wolf in this pack you couldn't even protect your own
20:45daughter you ignored her cries for help you starved your daughter to death mom's world collapsed she sat
20:54there staring at the flashing gem on her own net and finally understood for 10 years every red light
21:01wasn't because i was lying it was because i was scared scared of her anger scared of being misunderstood
21:09scared of eating food that made me sick i was in pain pain that made my heart race and cold
21:16sweat pour
21:17down my face i was desperate desperate for a hug for her to hold me the way she held emma
21:23every signal from
21:25my frightened heart she had interpreted as proof of my lies no get it off
21:37she tried to shift fur rippling across her skin bones cracking but the leather cinched harder
21:43around her throat the moment the neck began to change she snapped back into human form gasping
21:51i can't get it off stella take it back i'm sorry it's all my fault this little bit of choking
21:59and she
22:00was already breaking mom i suffered for 10 years the council elders needed evidence for judgment so
22:09they opened my journal in front of my parents february 14th sunny mom put celery on my plate i'm allergic
22:17my throat swells i can't breathe i said i can't eat it but because i was scared of making her
22:24angry
22:24my body ran hot the gem flashed red the choker tightened mom said i was picky lying made me eat
22:34the whole plate that night i threw up blood my throat felt like it was on fire i shifted to
22:41ease my pain
22:41mom 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 pup's 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
23:22ran hot red gem choker tightened for 10 minutes it hurt so bad but i didn't cry because crying makes
23:31your body run hotter and mom thinks that means you're not sorry so i held my breath pretended it
23:38didn't hurt mom said see she doesn't even blink she's definitely faking it dad couldn't take it
23:46anymore this man who had always put the pack before his own family chose duty over his daughter for 10
23:53years you monster what did you do that was your daughter you treated her like a stray blood at the
24:02corner of her mouth not my fault not my fault it's her it's emma emma's gem was always green emma
24:11was a
24:11good one if it wasn't for that green light making me trust her i wouldn't have believed the red light
24:17so
24:17much this is emma's box that little princess everyone had protected one of the council elders walked
24:23over gently removed the green verity choker from her neck took out a blade pried the gem loose right there
24:31it rolled onto the table still glowing green steady unchanged the elder picked up the stone a glowstone
24:41that is all your younger daughter's choker was always going to shine green no matter what she said
24:48did or lied about it would never change your so-called verity choker was a fraud that was her truth
24:57for 10
24:58years that was the evidence she used to convict me a common glowstone that put me in hell
25:04while emma lived in paradise so i wasn't a liar i i laughed laughed until i cried turns out ghosts
25:13could cry too the elder turned to the last page of the journal his voice broke the handwriting was a
25:18mess clearly written while dying mom if i die will the choker stop glowing red or if it turns green
25:26will you hug me then i'm not lying i couldn't heal myself anymore
25:31my stomach hurts so much like knives next life please don't make me wear the choker please i just
25:39want to be a normal pup i want to eat mom's roasted meat mom stared at the broken glowstone on
25:45the table
25:45that truth magic she trusted without question a worthless stone because of that stone she spoiled emma
25:53for 10 years because of 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
26:22became the 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 him now
26:53my 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
27:06same night emma was a bad seed sure but she was still his blood before they left emma tried to
27:13take
27:13her green choker dad stomped on it why the hell would you want that piece of trash emma cried as
27:20he
27:20dragged her away mom got out of the dungeon the healer said she had lost her mind the council locked
27:26her in the home instead the one that still smelled like death her mental state deteriorated fast she
27:33refused to take off the red choker she would tighten it herself whenever the guilt got too heavy
27:38she said choking was the only thing that eased it it was her self-imposed punishment i floated in the
27:45darkness my wolf curled beside me watching her unravel day after day she'd talk to the empty
27:51corner where i used to stand stella i brought you some food no celery today it's all roast just how
27:59you like it but there was no food there was nothing just her hands cupped around air she'd pretend to
28:06set a plate down her hands shook the gem flashed red she was anxious guilty falling apart she smiled but
28:15her eyes were empty the gem is red mom is lying liars don't deserve food she pulled the choker tight
28:23with her own hands let it choke her her body convulsed against the cold floor it hurts so much is
28:30this how
28:31stella felt i'm sorry mom started reenacting my diary entries i couldn't eat celery because of my allergy
28:40so she forced herself to eat spoiled food until she vomited blood then swallowed it back down i was
28:47locked in isolation so she locked herself in my old room lights off and bowed to my portrait until her
28:54forehead bled over and over blood on the floor late at night she'd see the red glow of the bloodstone
29:03reflected on the wall to her it looked like my bloody eyes were watching she kept punishing herself
29:10the wounds healed slower and slower her wolf exhausted by months of self-torture slowly fell
29:17into a deep sleep mom didn't care she scrawled on the back of my journal i'm sorry i was wrong
29:24red means
29:26pain red means love please come back and say it hurts hurts one more time i'll save you i promise
29:33too bad i'm dead dead wolves can't cry for help eventually the new alpha intervened mom's self-harm
29:41had gone too far she'd nearly choked herself to death with her own hands he ordered her to move to
29:47a small
29:47hut at the far edge of the village locked from the outside someone posted to watch her day and night
29:53she was the strangest woman they'd ever seen nobody knew where she'd found it a frayed red cord
30:00tied around her own neck her homemade choker if anyone tried to remove it she'd snap at them
30:07teeth bared snarling wild-eyed don't touch me stella's watching she'll be angry if you take it
30:16every time the guard called her name and brought her food mom would grab the red cord and pull it
30:22tight
30:22against her own throat convulsing screaming red light red light don't punish punish me i'll eat i'll eat
30:33even if the food was scalding hot she'd gulp it down burning her throat wouldn't spit it out
30:39she was reenacting my final moments living my hell on repeat years later emma grew up without guidance
30:47and with a trail of shame behind her she drifted from pack to pack stealing to survive no one would
30:54take her in when she ran out of options she remembered mom was still alive she slipped back
31:00into the silverman pack under the cover of night not for love for money hey crazy lady dad's dead give
31:10me
31:10whatever you've been hiding emma stood there face hard eyes full of contempt she looked at mom's hollow
31:17broken form and spat on the floor it's disgusting give me what i want or i'll send you to meet
31:25your
31:25daughter for a moment mom's cloudy eyes cleared she looked at emma and suddenly remembered that choker
31:33that always green glowstone that decade of deception it's you you lie you're the green light that wasn't
31:42there you killed stella give her back to me give her back to me the last shred of maternal love
31:50twisted
31:51into something feral mom lunged grabbed emma by the throat 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 far
32:16rogues the kind that haunted the borderlands preying on anyone foolish enough to run through
32:22the trees alone at night emma never saw them coming by the time she did it was too late she
32:29survived
32:30barely both 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 dead
33:20calm 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
33:43and i looked at my foot one final time she looked ancient hair completely white frail as paper she
33:49sensed something her cloudy eyes focused on a point in the air right where i stood stella is that you
33:54her trembling hand reached into the emptiness mom destroyed the choker i don't believe in it anymore
34:00come back please i'll cook for you no salary i'll buy you new dresses not emma tears rolled down
34:07her face i looked at the red marks on her neck from the frayed cord i i reached out my
34:13cold ghostly
34:14finger touched her forehead this was my final mercy sleep mom in sleep there's no pain her eyes fluttered
34:21shut she slumped into a deep dreamless rest a breeze blew through the hut the old journal on her cot
34:28flipped open the last page my dying words stared up at the ceiling but below it in shaky handwriting were
34:35new lines written by mom during a lucid moment next life let me wear the choker let me be the
34:41liar
34:41punish me however you want just don't leave me i stared at those words felt nothing too late
34:47repentance means nothing to the dead mom i don't hate you anymore but i don't love you either let's
34:55not meet again i turned away my wolf was waiting in the distance the door of light still glowed soft
35:01steady patient i looked at my neck the phantom verity choker still there even in spirit form
35:07the nightmare that had changed me for a lifetime i grabbed it it shattered into nothing i felt
35:13weightless free no red light no hunger no lies just freedom my wolf pressed against my side together
35:20we walked toward the light i didn't look back morning came a guard pushed open the door rachel time
35:26to eat no response she walked closer mom's hand clutched the torn journal a single tear
35:32crystallized at the corner of her eye she crouched beside her held two fingers beneath her nose nothing
35:37she was gone
35:38she was gone
35:39she was gone
