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 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
01:07no contact with anyone in the pack the truth necklace doesn't lie stella starve now study later

01:20born wrong new year's eve everything changed mom was getting ready to take emma to the pack's bonfire
01:26celebration 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 the choker flashed red and choked tight she looked down at me
01:41disgusted in her eyes in your dream stella faking an illness to ruin our night she grabbed emma's hand and
01:49headed for the door i wanted to howl but my wolf was too weak to answer i shifted anyway forced
01:55it
01:55a 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 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
02:14i
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 food she has
02:49a stash of snacks she bought with stolen money she won't starve lock the door when that gem turns green
02:56will talk but but what it's because you spoil her that she turned out this way look at emma her
03:05gem has

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
03:44face 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
04:02unbearable but i kept thinking mom's right the gem doesn't lie it's red so i must be lying i'm not
04:11in
04:11pain i'm not in pain i'm not in pain i kept repeating it like a prayer eventually i almost
04:21believed it the pain dulled or maybe i was just going numb i crawled to my desk i had to
04:28write
04:29that was the rule if the gem glowed red i had to pen a thousand word apology or mom would
04:36never
04:36let me out i am a liar write it down and maybe mom would forgive me maybe she'd even let
04:44me out
04:44i opened my journal pages and pages of apologies i'd written over the years sorry i lied i won't do
04:52it
04:52again but this time i wanted to write the truth my vision blurred my hand shook as i wrote mom
05:00i really
05:02love you it really hurts why won't you believe me please believe me just once the moment i finished
05:11the last word the pain vanished just gone i felt light weightless i looked down i was floating and
05:20there slumped 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
05:37along
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
06:02were 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 in every
06:20way i'd never heard her sound like that when she talked about me i floated toward them my wolf patting
06:26silently at my side moving on instinct i wanted to help them take off their cloaks that's what i always
06:32did mom my arms passed right through her body like wind is it so cold here is the hearthi out
06:40i stood there
06:41staring 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 she
07:25was still there but the warmth never came she was too hungry just like me mom never noticed she only
07:34ever
07:35looked at my neck for one thing the gem and whether it was red or green mom pushed open my
07:40door didn't
07:41even turn on the light just for a second her eyes flashed gold her wolf might have known mom didn't
07:48listen in the dim glow from the hallway she saw me slumped over my desk i looked like a skeleton

08:44my
08:45corpse my wolf curled silently at my feet staring at that single point of red light in the darkness
08:50mom if you just stepped closer if you just touched my hand you'd know i was ice cold but you
08:57didn't
08:58you believed the choker not the daughter you carried for nine months that night a rat crawled out of my
09:04empty cabinet i used to scream whenever i saw rats but now i just floated by the ceiling watching it
09:11scurry
09:11across my dead body the rat bit into my toe i didn't feel anything my wolf charged at it anyway
09:18and passed
09:19right through landing on the other side she turned back to look at me confused lost i pulled her close
09:26and buried my face in the fur of her back it's okay you can't feel it anymore it'll be over
09:33soon
09:34she let out one low growl then went still against me finally no more pain for either of us the
09:41next morning
09:42sunlight streamed through the window no warmth reached my body in the kitchen i could hear mom
09:48making breakfast the smell of roasted meat crept under my door my favorite but mom always said liars
09:55don't deserve meat so i only ever got steamed vegetables she was clanging the pots extra loud
10:01on purpose trying to tempt me out trying to make me give in and apologize for things i never did
10:07in the
10:08old days i might have caved i might have confessed to anything for one bite of roasted meat but i
10:14don't
10:14need food anymore stella still hasn't come out yet dad asked reading the pack notices she is so stubborn she
10:22can eat or not i don't care emma walked to my door and made a big show of sniffing the
10:30air
10:30then she screamed dramatically mom stella's room smells like poop did she poop in there i floated by the
10:39door watching my sister with a bitter smile my wolf sat beside me ears flat eyes low the hearth was
10:47burning hot after just one night my body started to rot mom stormed over pounding on the door
10:55stella who does that the toilet is right there did you sit on the floor to spite me i remembered
11:02being
11:03six i had food poisoning couldn't make it to the toilet in time mom didn't help me clean up she
11:10made
11:10me stand outside pointed at me and told the neighbors look at this she's such a mess she can't
11:17even use the toilet herself now she thought i was dirty again leave her let her sit in her own
11:22stink
11:24but dad stood up frowning that smells really bad i should check could it be a dead rat or something
11:32my heart if i still had one leapt dad please open the door i'm right here just turn the handle
11:40and
11:41you'll see i'm not moving i waved my transparent arms frantically my wolf ran straight to my bedroom door
11:48willing dad to open it dad's hand touched the door handle his hand froze one was pounding at the front
11:55door a pack elder urgent business dad's face went pale he grabbed his cloak the border
12:00there's an emergency he was already out the door i froze so close one second away if that
12:07knock had come one second later i would have been found maybe then i wouldn't have rotted alone
12:13that afternoon mom took emma to the pack market the house was empty except for my corpse when they
12:18came back that evening loaded down with food and gifts from the market the smell had gotten worse
12:23mom gagged the second she walked in stella are you trying to turn this place into a den of
12:29inequity she didn't even open my door just grabbed cloth strips and sealed the gap at the bottom if
12:35you 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
12:51cloth strips couldn't contain the smell mom was arranging fresh wildflowers trying to cover it up
12:56but the stench of death is unmistakable sweet rotten oily she cut a rose stem too hard a thorn pierced
13:04her
13:04hand she snapped in her mind i was doing this on purpose not bathing poop on the floor hiding dead
13:10rats in my room all to piss her off all to defy her authority as luna stella she grabbed a
13:17rolling pin
13:17from the kitchen storm toward my room i'm done with you you disgusting little brat time you learned what
13:24real pain feels like i floated in front of her waving my arms desperately don't come in mom please
13:33please even though she never loved me i didn't want her to see me like that but she walked right
13:38through me ripped the cloth strips off jammed the spare key into the lock the door flew open the smell
13:45hit
13:45her like a wall she stumbled back retching stella what are you doing she saw me still slumped over
13:52the desk back turned not moving to her this was the ultimate rebellion i'm talking to you she marched
13:59over raised the rolling pin but stopped she wanted to see my face first wanted to see my get up
14:06she
14:07grabbed the back of my shirt grabbed my skin the moment she touched me she froze through the thin fabric
14:13her hand didn't feel warm flesh she felt cold hard dead meat the kind of cold that seeps into your
14:19bones what but momentum carried her forward she yanked crash my body stiff as a board toppled backward
14:27taking the chair with it and there was my face blue black eyes bulging features twisted in agony
14:33dried foam and 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
14:48page stared up at her mom my stomach really hurts the choker is wrong i'm not lying please don't punish
14:55me mom screamed not a wolf's howl a raw guttural shriek that tore through her throat she stumbled backward
15:03sland into the bookshelf a clay pot shattered but she didn't seem to feel the pain she just
15:10stared at me eyes wide unblinking no no no no this is not real stella get up stella get up
15:19i'm not mad
15:21anymore stop scaring me her hand reached out trembling to touch my arm the second her skin made contact with
15:30my corpse she recoiled like she'd been burned that cold was too real lisa from next door heard the
15:37screaming and went straight to the pack healer when she saw what was in my room she collapsed in the
15:43gate
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
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
16:32head 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 the 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 saw the
17:12body wrap being carried out saw the long cord that sealed away my entire life his legs gave out he
17:21collapsed on the doorstep emma stood nearby sobbing in confusion she pointed at the discolored verity choker
17:28on the table why does stella have a black collar and i have a green one see she held up
17:35her neck the gem
17:36blinked its steady green it was grotesque the council elders arrived before dawn mom straightened when she
17:44saw them even now even with my body three days cold and rotting her luna instincts kicked in she lifted
17:52her
17:52chin squared her shoulders it didn't work today they started questioning mom in the living room
17:58mom grabbed the verity choker off the table like it was a lifeline test it that choker proved she was
18:05lying red gem means lie i never abused her the choker told me i was just educating her the council
18:16elders
18:16looked at her like she'd lost her mind the pup shows signs of extreme malnutrition months of starvation
18:25aphelion 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 deep
18:52breath tried to calm herself she needed to prove she was innocent needed to prove her way of raising an
18:59alpha 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
19:26i love her and suddenly she remembered me 10 years old gasping as the choker tightened around
19:35my 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

20:01with body heat fear pain anything that makes your heart race temperature rises it burns red that's all
20:10it does no witch magic never was think about your daughter ruptured appendix organ failure the pain
20:20must 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
20:38you 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 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
21:10scared 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
21:24every signal

21:35i'm not lying i'm not she tried to shift fur rippling across her skin bones cracking but the leather
21:43cinched harder around her throat the moment her 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 was
22:00already breaking mom i suffered for 10 years the council elders needed evidence for judgment so they opened

22:42mom saw it and
22:43said i'd snuck berry juice that i was faking the choker tightened for 10 more minutes mom's hand flew to
22:52her mouth she was shaking violently she remembered that she really did think it was berry juice she
23:00didn't even look closely just turned away to read emma a bedtime story that was blood from a swollen torn
23:08throat june 1st pups day emma shredded mom's ceremonial cloak emma's heart is always calm her gem stays
23:17green i tried to explain but i was scared of being hit my body ran hot red gem choker tightened

24:06it's her it's emma emma's gem was always green emma was a good one if it wasn't for that green
24:13light making me trust her i wouldn't have believed the red light so much this is emma's fault that little
24:20princess everyone had protected one of the council elders walked over gently removed the green
24:26verity choker from her neck took out a blade pried the gem loose right there it rolled onto the table
24:34still glowing green steady unchanged the elder picked up the stone a glowstone that is all your younger
24:43daughter's choker was always going to shine green no matter what she said did or lied about it would
24:51never change your so-called verity choker was a fraud that was her truth for 10 years that was the
25:00evidence she used to convict me a common glowstone that put me in hell while emma lived in paradise
25:07so i wasn't a liar i i laughed laughed until i cried turns out ghosts could cry too the elder
25:14turned to the
25:15last page of the journal his voice broke the handwriting was a mess clearly written while dying

25:38the choker please i just want to be a normal pup i want to eat mom's roasted meat mom stared
25:44at the
25:44broken glowstone on the table that truth magic she trusted without question a worthless stone because
25:51of that stone she spoiled emma for 10 years because of that cursed red light she tortured me for 10
25:58years
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 she'd
26:29seen every wolf knew by morning luna had starved her own daughter to death monster murderer she doesn't
26:39deserve to be luna stones flew at our door the word killer carved into the wall the council convened within
26:47the day the verdict was swift dad lost his alpha title no wolf would follow him now my grandfather
26:55the former alpha read out the judgment himself he didn't look at his son once dad walked out of the
27:02council hall and never looked back he took emma and left the pack that same night emma was a bad
27:08seed sure
27:09but she was still his blood before they left emma tried to take her green choker dad stomped on it
27:16why the hell would you want that piece of trash emma cried as he dragged her away mom got out
27:22of the
27:22dungeon the healer said she had lost her mind the council locked her in the home instead the one
27:28that still smelled like death her mental state deteriorated fast she refused to take off the red
27:35choker she would tighten it herself whenever the guilt got too heavy she said choking was the only thing
27:41that eased it it was her self-imposed punishment i floated in the darkness my wolf curled beside me
27:48watching her unravel day after day she'd talk to the empty corner where i used to stand stella i
27:53brought you some food no celery today it's all roast just how you like it but there was no 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
28:24it choke her her body convulsed against the cold floor it hurts so much is this how stella felt i'm
28:33sorry mom started reenacting my diary entries i couldn't eat celery because of my allergy so she
28:41forced herself to eat spoiled food until she vomited blood then swallowed it back down i was locked in
28:48isolation so she locked herself in my old room lights off and bowed to my portrait until
28:54her forehead bled over and over blood on the floor late at night she'd see the red glow of the
29:02bloodstone reflected on the wall to her it looked like my bloody eyes were watching she kept punishing
29:09herself the wounds healed slower and slower her wolf exhausted by months of self-torture slowly fell into
29:18a deep sleep mom didn't care she scrawled on the back of my journal i'm sorry i was wrong
29:25red means pain red means love please come back and say it hurts hurts one more time
29:32i'll save you i promise too bad i'm dead dead wolves can't cry for help eventually the new alpha
29:39intervened 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 posted to
29:53watch her day and night she was the strangest woman they'd ever seen nobody knew where she'd found it
29:59a frayed red cord tied around her own neck her homemade choker if anyone tried to remove it
30:06she'd snap at them teeth bared snarling wild-eyed don't touch me stella's watching she'll be angry if
30:16you take it every time the guard called her name and brought her food mom would grab the red cord
30:22and
30:22pull it tight against her own throat convulsing screaming red light red light don't punish punish
30:30me i'll eat i'll eat even if the food was scalding hot she'd gulp it down burning her throat wouldn't
30:39spit it out she was reenacting my final moments living my hell on repeat years later emma grew up
30:46without guidance and with a trail of shame behind her she drifted from pack to pack stealing to
30:52survive no one would take her in when she ran out of options she remembered mom was still alive
30:59she slipped back into the silverman pack under the cover of night not for love for money hey crazy lady
31:08dad's dead give me whatever you've been hiding emma stood there face hard eyes full of contempt
31:16she looked at mom's hollow broken form and spat on the floor it's disgusting give me what i want
31:24or i'll send you to meet your daughter for a moment mom's cloudy eyes cleared she looked at emma and
31:31suddenly remembered that choker that always green glowstone that decade of deception it's you you lie
31:41you're the green light that wasn't there you killed stella give her back to me give her back to me
31:48the last shred of maternal love twisted into something feral mom lunged grabbed emma by the throat
31:56you should have died not her you emma 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 they're all insane she bolted
32:14into the forest she didn't get far rogues the kind that haunted the borderlands preying on anyone
32:21foolish enough to run through the trees alone at night emma never saw them coming by the time she did
32:28it was too late she survived barely both legs shattered beyond repair she'd never walk again
32:35meanwhile mom was strapped to her cot staring at the ceiling tears streaming in her dreams she finally
32:43saw me i was 10 again no choker white dress smiling mom she reached for me crying with joy
32:53stella but the moment her hands touched me i burst into ash no she woke up screaming if she'd been
33:01wearing that choker it would have been blood red eternal torment i stood in the void watching it all
33:08mom strapped to her bed emma in a wheelchair begging on the market dad drunk and dead in some gutter
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
33:38this life was too bitter nothing worth holding on to i floated to mom's hut one final time she looked
33:45ancient hair completely white frail as paper she sent something her cloudy eyes focused on a point in
33:52the air right where i stood stella is that you her trembling hand reached into the emptiness mom destroyed
33:59the choker i don't believe in it anymore come back please i'll cook for you no salary i'll buy you
34:05new dresses
34:05not emma tears rolled down her face i looked at the red marks on her neck from the frayed cord
34:11i i reached
34:12out my cold ghostly finger touched her forehead this was my final mercy sleep mom in sleep there's no
34:20pain her eyes fluttered shut she slumped into a deep dreamless rest a breeze blew through the hut the old
34:27journal on her cot flipped open the last page my dying words stared up at the ceiling but below it
34:34in 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
34:54you either let's not meet again i turned away my wolf was waiting in the distance the door of light
35:00still glowed 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 weightless
35:14free no red light no hunger no lies just freedom my wolf pressed against my side together we walked
35:21toward the light i didn't look back morning came a guard pushed open the door rachel time to eat no
35:27response she walked closer mom's hand clutched the torn journal a single tear crystallized at the corner
35:33of her eye she crouched beside her held two fingers beneath her nose nothing she was gone
