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 means you
00:30were lying emma's choker always green she could shred mom's ceremonial cloak and blame the cat
00:36and gem would glow a steady green not me green light believed me mom i'm hungry and flash red
00:46light the choker choked tight i shifted on instinct a small white wolf pawing desperately at the gem
00:52around my neck claws scraping against it unable to get it off i'm not lying not lying please but mom's
01:00eyes had already gone cold instant punishment mom's punishment wasn't gentle no food locked in my room
01:06no contact with anyone in the pack the truth necklace doesn't lie stella starve now study later
01:13i'm doing this for your own good after 10 years of this i started believing it too maybe i really
01:19was
01:19born wrong new year's eve everything changed mom was getting ready to take emma to the pack's bonfire
01:25celebration and that's when the pain hit like a knife twisting in my gut i collapsed on the floor
01:31my skeletal frame curling into itself mom please the choker flashed red and choked tight she looked down at
01:40me disgusted in her eyes in your dream stella faking an illness to ruin our night she grabbed emma's
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
02:13i
02:14thought mom's coming back she came back for me hurry up the bonfire is starting emma's waiting
02:21mom i reached out with a shaking hand please something's really wrong i feel like i'm dying
02:27she glanced at my neck the gem was flashing red over and over she crouched down grabbed my chin
02:34stella how long are you gonna keep this up can't you just be honest and stay here and think about
02:40what you've done dad appeared in the doorway honey should we at least leave her some food
02:48food she has a stash of snacks she bought with stolen money she won't starve lock the door
02:54when that gem turns green we'll talk but but what it's because you spoil her that she turned out this
03:02way look at emma her gem has always been green stella is a liar an alpha heiress who can't tell
03:10the
03:10truth she needs discipline but my cabinet was empty emma stole that money emma ate those snacks emma just
03:18stood there with her glowing green gem saying not me and mom believed her i tried to defend myself
03:25it wasn't me red light the choker choked tight i tried to shift nothing happened deep inside my wolf
03:34barely stirred mom locked me up for three days with nothing but water and stale bread mom turned to leave
03:42emma peeked through the door made a face at me bye sis we're gonna see the bonfire
03:47her gem glowed a steady green so pretty the door locked the house went silent i called my wolf
03:55nothing came back not even a whisper just me alone the pain was unbearable but i kept thinking mom's
04:05right the gem doesn't lie it's red so i must be lying i'm not in pain i'm not in pain
04:14i'm not
04:15in pain i kept repeating it like a prayer eventually i almost believed it the pain
04:22dulled or maybe i was just going numb i crawled to my desk i had to write that was the
04:30rule
04:30if the gem glowed red i had to pen a thousand word apology or mom would never let me out
04:37i am a liar
04:39write it down and maybe mom would forgive me maybe she'd even let me out i opened my journal
04:46pages and pages of apologies i'd written over the years sorry i lied i won't do it again but this
04:54time
04:54i wanted to write the truth my vision blurred my hand shook as i wrote mom i really love you
05:02it 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
06:00finally we were together now but i never learned how to be honest sorry mom i heard laughter mom dad
06:09emma coming through the front door tonight's bonfire was beautiful the best one yet just like our emma
06:18perfect in every way i'd never heard her sound like that when she talked about me
06:23i floated toward them my wolf patting silently at my side moving on instinct i wanted to help them
06:29take off their cloaks that's what i always did mom my arms passed right through her body like wind
06:37is it so cold here is the hearthi out i stood there staring at my transparent hands my wolf pressed
06:44against my leg and looked up at me with sad eyes right dead wolves couldn't hug the living
06:50shall we go and see stella she hasn't eaten yet still the good cop i looked at mom hopefully
06:57if she found me dead would she be sad would she regret it

07:10of control
07:10i laughed bitterly mom wasn't wrong werewolves heal but i hadn't been able to in a long time
07:18last winter the choker left bruises that stayed for days that hadn't happened before i reached for
07:24my wolf she was still there but the warmth never came she was too hungry just like me
07:31mom never noticed she only ever looked at my neck for one thing the gem and whether it was red
07:38or
07:38green mom pushed open my door didn't even turn on the light just for a second her eyes flashed gold
07:45her wolf might have known mom didn't listen in the dim glow from the hallway she saw me slumped over
07:51my desk i looked like a skeleton hadn't moved still putting on an act you're 10 years old not five

08:39grandma
08:40tomorrow the door locked again i floated next to my corpse my wolf curled silently at my feet staring at
08:48that single point of red light in the darkness mom if you'd just stepped closer if you'd just touched
08:54my hand you'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
09:14toe
09:14i didn't feel anything my wolf charged at it anyway and passed right through landing on the other
09:20side she turned back to look at me confused lost i pulled her close and buried my face in the
09:27fur of
09:28her back it's okay you can't feel it anymore it'll be over soon she let out one low growl then
09:36went
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 confessed
10:10to 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
11:19she thought i was dirty again leave her let her sit in her own stink but dad stood up frowning
11:26that smells really bad i should check could it be a dead rat or something my heart if i still
11:33had
11:34one leapt dad please open the door i'm right here just turn the handle and you'll see i'm not moving
11:42i waved my transparent arms frantically my wolf ran straight to my bedroom door willing dad to open it
11:50dad's hand touched the door handle his hand froze someone was pounding at the front door
11:55a pack elder urgent business dad's face went pale he grabbed his cloak the border there's an
12:01emergency he was already out the door i froze so close one second away if that knock had come one
12:08second later i would have been found maybe then i wouldn't have rotted alone that afternoon mom took
12:14emma to the pack market the house was empty except for my corpse when they came back that evening
12:19loaded down with food and gifts from the market the smell had gotten worse mom gagged the second she
12:25walked in stella are you trying to turn this place into a den of inequity she didn't even open my
12:31door
12:31just grabbed cloth strips and sealed the gap at the bottom if you want to stay in there and make
12:35disgusting stew zoos don't stink up my house she patted her hands together satisfied then went to
12:41prepare dinner i stared at that sealed door my wolf pressed her nose against it and whimpered once so that's
12:47it
12:47i'm worth less than a venison dinner by day three even the cloth strips couldn't contain the smell
12:52mom was arranging fresh wildflowers trying to cover it up but the stench of death is unmistakable
12:58sweet rotten oily she cut a rose stem too hard a thorn pierced her hand she snapped in her mind
13:06i was doing this on purpose not bathing poop on the floor hiding dead rats in my room all to
13:12piss her off
13:12all to defy her authority as luna stella she grabbed a rolling pin from the kitchen storm toward
13:19my room i'm done with you you disgusting little brat time you learned what real pain feels like
13:25i floated in front of her waving my arms desperately don't come in mom please please even though she never
13:35loved me i didn't want her to see me like that but she walked right through me ripped the cloth
13:40strips
13:40off jammed the spare key into the lock the door flew open the smell hit her like a wall she
13:46stumbled
13:46back retching stella what are you doing she saw me still slumped over the desk back turned not moving
13:54to her this was the ultimate rebellion i'm talking to you she marched over raised the rolling pin
14:01but stopped she wanted to see my face first wanted to see my get up she grabbed the back of
14:07my shirt
14:08grabbed my skin the moment she touched me she froze through the thin fabric her hand didn't feel warm
14:14she felt cold hard dead meat the kind of cold that seeps into your bones
14:19what
14:20but momentum carried her forward she yanked crash my body stiff as a board toppled backward taking the
14:27chair with it and there was my face blue black eyes bulging features twisted in agony dried foam
14:34and blood crusted around my mouth around my blackened neck the verity choker hung lifeless
14:39the gem dark no red no green just silence my journal slid off the desk fell open at mom's feet
14:47the last page stared up at her mom my stomach really hurts the choker is wrong i'm not lying please
14:54don't
14:54punish me mom screamed not a wolf's howl a raw guttural shriek that tore through her throat
15:01she stumbled backward slammed into the bookshelf a clay pot shattered but she didn't seem to feel
15:08the pain she just stared at me eyes wide unblinking no no no no this is not real stella get
15:18up stella
15:19get up i'm not mad anymore stop scaring me her hand reached out trembling to touch my arm
15:28the second her skin made contact with my corpse she recoiled like she'd been burned that cold was
15:34too real lisa from next door heard the screaming and went straight to the pack healer when she saw
15:40what was in my room she collapsed in the gate within the hour heavy boots on the floorboards
15:46the pack healer and a handful of pack warriors crowding the entrance mom sat on the floor a warrior's
15:52hand on her shoulder she's speaking she's always lying it doesn't lie i'm just teaching her no one
16:02responded they all looked at her like she was a monster the pack healer crouched next to my body
16:08he muttered under his breath severe malnutrition organ failure this puppy has been starved for at least
16:15a month he carefully tried to remove the verity choker but it had fused years of tightening had
16:21pressed the leather deep into the skin of my neck damn it he had to use tools to pry it
16:27off even dead
16:28my soul flinched my wolf lifted her head and long raw desperate the kind of howl that should have shaken
16:39the walls no one heard it no one flinched we were already dead a warrior picked up my journal
16:45started reading his face went from neutral to horrified mom's eyes locked on to that book
16:52that's her confession she admits she lied look she wrote it herself
16:59the warrior pushed her back wrapped the journal in cloth and took it we'll report it to the council
17:05that'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
17:18his legs gave out he collapsed on the doorstep emma stood nearby sobbing in confusion she pointed
17:26at the discolored verity choker on the table why does stella have a black collar and i have a green
17:32one
17:33see she held up her neck the gem blinked its steady green it was grotesque the council elders arrived
17:41before dawn mom straightened when she saw them even now even with my body three days cold and rotting
17:48her luna instincts kicked in she lifted her chin squared her shoulders it didn't work today
17:55they started questioning mom in the living room mom grabbed the verity choker off the table like it was a
18:01lifeline
18:02test it that choker proved she was lying red gem means lie i never abused her the choker told me
18:12i was just educating her the council elders looked at her like she'd lost her mind
18:18the pup shows signs of extreme malnutrition months of starvation
18:24aphelion multiple old injuries consistent with prolonged
18:29that's just discipline that's teaching her to be honest
18:33then 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
18:50she took a deep breath tried to calm herself she needed to prove she was innocent
18:56needed to prove her way of raising an alpha heir was right she held up the gem eyes wild
19:02listen i'm rachel i'm stella's mother
19:06this 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 i love her
19:27and suddenly she remembered me 10 years old gasping as the choker tightened around my throat
19:35biting my lip so i wouldn't make a sound is this what it felt like
19:39why is it red i am telling the truth turn green you're broken you're setting me up
19:46but the gem kept flashing like it was mocking her you're a liar you're a liar you're a liar
19:55enough this is just a bloodstone i've seen it before it changes color with body heat fear pain
20:04anything that makes your heart race temperature rises it burns red that's all it does no witch magic
20:13never was think about your daughter ruptured appendix organ failure the pain must have been
20:20unbearable 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
20:45own daughter you ignored her cries for help you starved your daughter to death mom's world collapsed
20:53she sat there staring at the flashing gem on her own neck and finally understood for 10 years
20:59every red light wasn't because i was lying it was because i was scared scared of her anger scared of
21:08being misunderstood scared of eating food that made me sick i was in pain pain that made my heart race
21:15and cold sweat pour down my face i was desperate desperate for a hug for her to hold me the
21:22way
21:23she held emma every signal from my frightened heart she had interpreted as proof of my lies
21:29no get it off
21:35i'm not lying i'm not she tried to shift fur rippling across her skin bones cracking
21:41but the leather cinched harder around her throat the moment her neck began to change
21:46she 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
21:57this little bit of choking and she was already breaking mom i suffered for 10 years
22:05the council elders needed evidence for judgment so they opened my journal in front of my parents

22:20i said i can't eat it but because i was scared of making her angry my body ran hot the
22:26gem flashed red

22:43i'd snuck berry
22:44juice that i was faking the choker tightened for 10 more minutes mom's hand flew to her mouth
22:52she was shaking violently she remembered that night she really did think it was berry juice
22:59she didn't even look closely just turned away to read emma a bedtime story
23:04that was blood from a swollen torn throat
23:08june 1st pup's day emma shredded mom's ceremonial cloak
23:13emma's heart is always calm her gem stays green
23:17i tried to explain but i was scared of being hit my body ran hot red gem choker tightened for
23:2610
23:26minutes it hurt so bad but i didn't cry because crying makes your body run hotter and mom thinks

24:26verity choker from her neck took out a blade pried the gem loose right there it rolled onto the table
24:33still glowing green steady unchanged the elder picked up the stone a glowstone that is all your
24:42younger daughter's choker was always going to shine green no matter what she said did or lied about
24:50it would never change your so-called verity choker was a fraud that was her truth for 10 years
24:58that was the evidence she used to convict me a common glowstone that put me in hell while emma lived
25:05in
25:06paradise so i wasn't a liar i i laughed laughed until i cried turns out ghosts could cry too the
25:14elder

25:51of that stone she spoiled emma for 10 years because of that cursed red light she tortured me for 10
25:57years
26:02mom started laughing her voice cracking
26:05laughing at 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
26:22my death became the talk of the entire pack lisa the neighbor who had sent for the pack healer
26:27told everyone what she'd seen every wolf knew by morning luna had starved her own daughter
26:34to death monster murderer she doesn't deserve to be luna stones flew at our door the word killer
26:44carved into the wall the council convened within the day the verdict was swift dad lost his alpha title
26:51no wolf would follow him now my grandfather the former alpha read out the judgment himself
26:58he didn't look at his son once dad walked out of the council hall and never looked back
27:03he took emma and left the pack that same night emma was a bad seed sure but she was still
27:10his blood
27:11before they left emma tried to take her green choker dad stomped on it why the hell would you want
27:17that
27:18piece of trash emma cried as he dragged her away mom got out of the dungeon the healer said she
27:24had lost
27:24her mind the council locked her in the home instead the one that still smelled like death her mental
27:30state deteriorated fast she refused to take off the red choker she would tighten it herself whenever the
27:37guilt got too heavy she said choking was the only thing that eased it it was her self-imposed punishment
27:44i floated in the darkness my wolf curled beside me watching her unravel day after day she'd talk to the
27:51empty corner where i used to stand stella i brought you some food no celery today it's all roast just
27:59how
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
28:06plate down her hands shook the gem flashed red she was anxious guilty falling apart she smiled but her eyes
28:15were
28:15empty the gem is red mom is lying liars don't deserve food she pulled the choker tight with her own
28:23hands let it
28:24choke her her body convulsed against the cold floor it hurts so much is this how stella felt i'm sorry
28:33mom 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
30:15angry if you take it every time the guard called her name and brought her food mom would grab the
30:21red cord 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 cook
34:03for you no salary i'll buy you new dresses not emma tears rolled down her face i looked at the
34:09red marks
34:09on her neck from the frayed cord i i reached out my cold ghostly finger touched her forehead this was
34:16my
34:17final mercy sleep mom in sleep there's no pain her eyes fluttered shut she slumped into a deep dreamless
34:24rest a breeze blew through the hut the old journal on her cot flipped open the last page my dying
34:31words
34:31stared up at the ceiling but below it in shaky handwriting were new lines written by mom during
34:37a lucid moment next life let me wear the choker let me be the liar punish me however you want
34:43just don't
34:44leave me i stared at those words felt nothing too late repentance means nothing to the dead mom i don't
34:52hate you anymore but i don't love you either let's not meet again i turned away my wolf was waiting
34:57in the
34:58distance the door of light still glowed soft steady patient i looked at my neck the phantom verity choker
35:05still there even in spirit form the nightmare that had changed me for a lifetime i grabbed it
35:11it shattered into nothing i felt weightless free no red light no hunger no lies just freedom my wolf
35:18pressed against my side together we walked toward the light i didn't look back morning came a guard
35:25pushed open the door rachel time to eat no response she walked closer mom's hand clutched the torn journal
35:31a single tear crystallized at the corner of her eye she crouched beside her held two fingers beneath her
35:37nose nothing she was gone
35:38you
