00:07thing around my neck the verity choker mom was luna of silvermoon 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

00:36and gem would glow a steady green not me green light believed me mom i'm hungry and flash red

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

01:31my skeletal frame curling into itself mom please the choker flashed red and choked tight she looked down
01:40at me 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 forced
01:55it a small white wolf trembling on the floor ribs heaving maybe in this form the pain would hurt less
02:01it didn't i couldn't even hold the ship i slipped back into myself without meaning to sorry mom i won't
02:08lie anymore but the pain got worse way worse the door handle turned for one second i thought mom's

04:04thinking mom's right the gem doesn't lie it's red so i must be lying i'm not in pain i'm not
04:13in pain
04:14i'm not in pain i kept repeating it like a prayer eventually i almost believed it the pain dulled or
04:24maybe i was just going numb i crawled to my desk i had to write that was the rule if
04:31the gem glowed red
04:32i had to pen a thousand word apology or mom would never let me out i am a liar write
04:39it down
04:40and maybe mom would forgive me maybe she'd even let me out i opened my journal pages and pages of
04:48apologies i'd written over the years sorry i lied i won't do it again but this time i wanted to
04:55write
04:55the truth my vision blurred my hand shook as i wrote mom i really love you it really hurts why
05:05won't
05:05you believe me please believe me just once the moment i finished the last word the pain vanished
05:13just gone i felt light weightless i looked down i was floating and there slumped over the desk
05:22was my body motionless the gem still flashing red around a dead girl's neck oh i'm dead and then
05:31she came out my wolf stepping out of my body like she'd been waiting all along small skinny barely
05:40holding together she looked up at me and once soft and low in the pack's old stories they say
05:48when a wolf dies young her spirit doesn't cross over alone her wolf walks beside her until they
05:55find the door together i knelt down she pressed her nose into my ghostly palm finally we were together
06:02now but i never learned how to be honest sorry mom i heard laughter mom dad emma coming through the
06:10front
06:11door tonight's bonfire was beautiful the best one yet just like our emma perfect in every way i'd never
06:21heard her sound like that when she talked about me i floated toward them my wolf patting silently at
06:26my side moving on instinct i wanted to help them take off their cloaks that's what i always did mom
06:33my arms passed right through her body like wind why is it so cold here is the hearthi out i
06:41stood
06:41there staring at my transparent hands my wolf pressed against my leg and looked up at me with sad eyes
06:47right dead wolves couldn't hug the living shall we go and see stella she hasn't eaten yet still the
06:54good cop i looked at mom hopefully if she found me dead would she be sad would she regret it
07:02she won't starve she is a werewolf not a human pup this whole fake sick for attention thing is out
07:10of
07:10control i laughed bitterly mom wasn't wrong werewolves heal but i hadn't been able to in a long time last
07:18winter the choker left bruises that stayed for days that hadn't happened before i reached for my wolf
07:24she was still there but the warmth never came she was too hungry just like me mom never noticed
07:33she only ever looked at my neck for one thing the gem and whether it was red or green mom
07:39pushed open
07:40my door didn't even turn on the light just for a second her eyes flashed gold her wolf might have
07:46known
07:46mom didn't listen in the dim glow from the hallway she saw me slumped over my desk i looked like
07:53a
07:53skeleton hadn't moved still putting on an act you're 10 years old not five grow up mom i'm not playing
08:03i'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
08:26there maybe she'll learn how to be honest should we at least put her in bed it's freezing put her
08:34in
08:34bed look 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'd just stepped closer if you'd just touched my
08:54hand 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 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
09:51crept under my door my favorite but mom always said liars don't deserve meat so i only ever got steamed
09:58vegetables 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
10:40with a bitter smile my wolf sat beside me ears flat eyes low the hearth was burning hot after just
10:49one night
10:50my body started to rot mom stormed over pounding on the door stella who does that the toilet is right
10:59there 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
11:35dad 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 the door
11:52handle his hand froze someone was pounding at the front door a pack elder urgent business dad's face
11:57went pale he grabbed his cloak the border there's an emergency he was already out the door i froze so
12:05close one second away if that knock had come one second later i would have been found maybe then i
12:11wouldn'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
12:28of inequity she didn't even open my door just grabbed cloth strips and sealed the gap at the bottom
12:34if you want to stay in there and make disgusting stew zoos don't stink up my house she patted her
12:39hands together satisfied then went to prepare dinner i stared at that sealed door my wolf pressed
12:44her nose against it and whimpered once so that's it i'm worth less than a venison dinner by day three
12:50even the cloth 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
13:15stella 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 arms
13:28desperately 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 what
13:49are
13:49you doing she saw me still slumped over the desk back turned not moving to her this was the ultimate
13:55rebellion i'm talking to you she marched over raised the rolling pin but stopped she wanted to see my face
14:04first wanted to see my get up she grabbed the back of my shirt grabbed my skin the moment she
14:10touched 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
14:47feet the last page stared up at her mom my stomach really hurts the choker is wrong i'm not lying
14:54please don't punish me mom screamed not a wolf's howl a raw guttural shriek that tore through her throat
15:02she stumbled backward slammed into the bookshelf a clay pot shattered but she didn't seem to feel the
15:08pain she just stared at me eyes wide unblinking no no no no this is not real stella get up
15:18stella
15:19get up get 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 too real
15:35lisa from next door heard the screaming and went straight to the pack healer when she saw what
15:40was in my room she collapsed in the gate within the hour heavy boots on the floorboards the pack healer
15:47and a handful of pack warriors crowding the entrance mom sat on the floor a warrior's hand on her shoulder
15:53she'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
16:04monster the pack healer crouched next to my body he muttered under his breath severe malnutrition
16:11organ failure this puppy has been starved for at least a month he carefully tried to remove the verity
16:18choker but 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 verity
17:28choker on the table why does stella have a black collar and i have a green one see she held
17:34up her neck
17:35the gem blinked its steady green it was grotesque the council elders arrived before dawn mom straightened
17:43when she saw them even now even with my body three days cold and rotting her luna instincts kicked in
17:51she lifted 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
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
18:18the pup shows signs of extreme malnutrition months of starvation aphelion multiple old injuries
18:28consistent with prolonged that's just discipline that's teaching her to be honest
18:34then 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
18:51she 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 listen
19:03i'm
19:04rachel i'm stella's mother this 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 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 but the gem
19:47kept
19:48flashing like it was mocking her you're a liar you're a liar you're a liar enough this is just a
19:58bloodstone

20:24a red gem so you punished her more which made her more scared which made her temperature rise
20:33which made the stone turn redder you are luna you are supposed to protect every wolf in this pack
20:43you couldn't even protect your own daughter you ignored her cries for help you starved your daughter
20:50to death mom's world collapsed she sat there staring at the flashing gem on her own net and finally
20:58understood for 10 years every red light wasn't because i was lying it was because i was scared
21:05scared of her anger scared of being misunderstood scared of eating food that made me sick i was in
21:13pain pain that made my heart race and cold sweat pour down my face i was desperate desperate for a
21:20hug
21:21for her to hold me the way she held emma every signal from my frightened heart she had interpreted as
21:28proof 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

22:34whole 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 it was berry
22:58juice she didn't even look closely just turned away to read emma a bedtime story that was blood from a
23:06swollen torn throat june 1st pup's day emma shredded mom's ceremonial cloak emma's heart is always calm
23:16her gem stays green i tried to explain but i was scared of being hit my body ran hot red
23:24gem
23:25choker tightened for 10 minutes it hurt so bad but i didn't cry because crying makes your body run
23:32hotter and mom thinks that means you're not sorry so i held my breath pretended it didn't hurt mom said
23:40see she doesn't even blink she's definitely faking it dad couldn't take it anymore this man who had
23:48always put the pack before his own family chose duty over his daughter for 10 years you monster what
23:56did you do that was your daughter you treated her like a stray blood at the corner of her mouth
24:03not my fault not my fault it's her it's emma emma's gem was always green emma was the good one
24:12if it
24:12wasn'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 over
24:24gently removed the green verity choker from her neck took out a blade pried the gem loose right there
24:32it 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
25:17the handwriting was a mess clearly written while dying mom if i die will the choker stop glowing red
25:25or if it turns green will 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
25:40want to be a normal pup i want to eat mom's roasted meat mom stared at the broken glowstone on
25:45the table
25:46that 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 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 my
26:22death
26:23became 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
26:45the council convened 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 off
27:34the red choker she would tighten it herself whenever the guilt got too heavy she said choking was the
27:40only thing that eased it it was her self-imposed punishment i floated in the darkness my wolf curled
27:47beside me watching her unravel day after day she'd talked to the empty corner where i used to stand
27:52stella 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
28:16the gem is red mom is lying liars don't deserve food she pulled the choker tight with her own hands
28:24let it choke her her body convulsed against the cold floor it hurts so much is this how stella felt
28:32i'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 the
29:10wounds healed slower and slower her wolf exhausted by months of self-torture slowly fell into a deep
29:18sleep mom didn't care she scrawled on the back of my journal i'm sorry i was wrong red means pain
29:26red means love please come back and say it hurts hurts one more time i'll save you i promise too
29:34bad i'm
29:34dead dead wolves can't cry for help eventually the new alpha intervened mom's self-harm had gone too far
29:42she'd nearly choked herself to death with her own hands he ordered her to move to a small hut at
29:48the
29:48far edge of the village locked from the outside someone posted to watch her day and night she was
29:54the strangest woman they'd ever seen nobody knew where she'd found it a frayed red cord tied around her own
30:02neck her homemade choker if anyone tried to remove it she'd snap at them teeth bared snarling wild-eyed
30:10don't touch me stella's watching she'll be angry if you take it every time the guard called her name
30:19and brought her food mom would grab the red cord and pull it tight against her own throat convulsing
30:25screaming red light red light don't punish punish me i'll eat i'll eat even if the food was scalding
30:35hot she'd gulp it down burning her throat wouldn't spit it out she was reenacting my final moments
30:42living my hell on repeat years later emma grew up without guidance and with a trail of shame behind her
30:49she drifted from pack to pack stealing to survive no one would take her in when she ran out of
30:56options
30:56she remembered mom was still alive she slipped back into the silverman pack under the cover of night
31:03not for love for money hey crazy lady dad's dead give me whatever you've been hiding emma stood there
31:12face hard eyes full of contempt she looked at mom's hollow broken form and spat on the floor
31:20it's disgusting give me what i want or i'll send you to meet your daughter for a moment mom's cloudy
31:28eyes cleared she looked at emma and suddenly remembered that choker that always green glowstone
31:36that decade of deception it's you you lie you're the green light that wasn't there you killed stella
31:45give her back to me give her back to me the last shred of maternal love twisted into something feral
31:52mom lunged grabbed emma by the throat should have died not her you
32:02emma thrashed but couldn't break free from a madwoman's grip
32:06the guards rushed in pulled her off emma stumbled out of the hut terrified
32:11they're all insane she bolted into the forest she didn't get far rogues the kind that haunted the
32:19borderlands preying on anyone foolish enough to run through the trees alone at night emma never saw
32:25them coming by the time she did it was too late she survived barely both legs shattered beyond repair
32:34she'd never walk again meanwhile mom was strapped to her cot staring at the ceiling tears streaming in
32:41her dreams she finally saw me i was 10 again no choker white dress smiling mom she reached for me
32:50crying
32:51with joy stella but the moment her hands touched me i burst into ash no she woke up screaming if
33:01she'd
33:01been wearing that choker it would have been blood red eternal torment i stood in the void watching it
33:08all mom strapped to her bed emma in a wheelchair begging on the market dad drunk and dead in some
33:15gutter
33:15i felt nothing no satisfaction just a flat dead calm my wolf padded over quietly she didn't howl
33:24didn't nudge just pressed her head against my hand and held it there in the distance a door of light
33:30appeared soft steady waiting i looked at my wolf she looked at me yeah time to leave this life was
33:39too
33:39bitter nothing worth holding on to i floated to mom's hut one final time she looked ancient hair
33:46completely white frail as paper she sent something her cloudy eyes focused on a point in the air right
33:53where i stood stella is that you her trembling hand reached into the emptiness mom destroyed the choker
33:59i don't believe in it anymore come back please i'll cook for you no salary i'll buy you new dresses
34:05not emma
34:06tears rolled down her face i looked at the red marks on her neck from the frayed cord i i
34:12reached
34:12out my cold ghostly finger touched her forehead this was my final mercy sleep mom in sleep there's
34:20no pain her eyes fluttered shut she slumped into a deep dreamless rest a breeze blew through the hut the
34:27old journal on her cot flipped open the last page my dying words stared up at the ceiling but below
34:33it
34:33in shaky handwriting were new lines written by mom during a lucid moment next life let me wear the
34:40choker let me be the liar punish me however you want just don't leave me i stared at those words
34:46felt
34:46nothing too late repentance means nothing to the dead mom i don't hate you anymore but i don't love you
34:54either let's not meet again i turned away my wolf was waiting in the distance the door of light still
35:00glowed soft steady patient i looked at my neck the phantom verity choker still there even in spirit
35:07form the 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 we
35:21walked toward the light i didn't look back morning came a guard pushed open the door rachel time to eat
35:27no response she walked closer mom's hand clutched the torn journal a single tear crystallized at the
35:33corner of her eye she crouched beside her held two fingers beneath her nose nothing she was gone
