Mommy, Please Believe Me Once Chapter 9
I watched all of it — Mommy deteriorating in the facility, Maya learning to live in a wheelchair, Dad drinking himself into an early death in some distant territory.A wolf pressed against my leg — small and old, with a white muzzle and cloudy amber eyes.Her name was Snow. She was my wolf — the one I never got to grow up with. We never even had the chance to meet.Snow looked up at me and her tail moved once, low and slow. It was time to go. I knew she was right.I found Mommy's room for the last visit.She was in the bed, small and grey, her hair entirely white, with the red cord still tied around her wrist.She sensed something. Her eyes moved toward the space where I stood."Selena?" Her voice broke. "Is that you?"She reached out and grasped at air."I took off the cord. I know it wasn't real. I know none of it was real.""Come back. I'll cook for you. No celery. I promise.""I won't favor Maya. I won't favor anyone. Just come home."Tears ran from the corner of her eye into the p

The High Council committed her eventually.They placed her in the regional Healer facility, and she was the strangest patient they had.She had woven a red cord and tied it around her wrist. She called it her mark.Anyone who tried to remove it got bitten."Don't touch that. She's watching. She needs to see it."She developed a reflex. When a healer asked "Elena, have you eaten today?" she would clutch her wrist, flinch, and say:"Red. That means I'm lying. Liars don't eat."Then she would force herself to sit at the table and eat whatever was put in front of her, even when it was scalding, even when it made her sick. She swallowed it all. She never spit it out.She was imitating me, living my last hours through her own body over and over, as if she could suffer them correctly on my behalf.-Years passed.Maya grew up wrong, with no structure and no consequence, and no pack would take her seriously with that name following her everywhere.When she ran out of coin, she thought of Mommy.
Mommy, Please Believe Me Once Chapter 7
Sarah, the Omega servant, reported everything she had witnessed to the High Council. My death became the story the whole Pack couldn't stop telling.It described my body, the Penance Journal filled with "I am a liar" one thousand times over, the sealed door, and the three days.The pack erupted in fury. Every member spat at Elena’s name."Monster." "Child-killer." "She doesn't deserve the title of Luna." "Strip her rank."Someone painted the front door red and carved words into the path outside.The High Council investigated Alpha Richard for failure to protect a pack dependent. He was not convicted because he had been off-territory when I died, but the Council stripped his rank that same week.He lost the house,every cent of the family savings. The Council exiled him from the territory forever.He took what remained and left with Maya, because even after everything, she was still his blood.The night before they left, Maya tried to pack the green badge Elena had given her. It was

For the official record, the Enforcers needed the findings documented.The Lead Pack Healer‘s voice stayed level, because the facts didn't need any help."Selena was born with a sick heart. A simple check-up at any Healing Den would have found it. But you never brought her in. This child hasn't seen a healer since the day she was born.""If she had been diagnosed, we would have known the red mark was a medical emergency, not a lie. She needed medicine, not punishment. If you had cared enough to check, she would still be alive."Richard put his face in his hands.Elena stared at the floor."I didn't know," she said, quiet now and hollow. "I didn't know she was sick.""You didn't look," the Healer said. "You had a pup whose body communicated differently, and you called it dishonesty."-The Enforcers read the Penance Journal into the official record. They did it in the living room with Richard and Elena both present.A female Enforcer read it. Her voice was quiet, but it carried anyway.

She didn't recognize me.My face had gone blue-black. My eyes were fixed open and bulging. My features were locked in the shape of the pain I died in — dried foam at the corner of my mouth and old blood at my chin.And at my wrist, my Lunar Mark.It was dim now, almost dark. The crimson had faded to a deep, bruised burgundy.The Penance Journal slid from under my hands and fell open at Elena's feet. The last page faced up, and my handwriting was there — shaking and barely readable."Mommy, my chest is really tearing apart."""I really didn't lie... Mommy, it hurts too much."“Mommy, I love you. I'm sorry. But please believe me just once, okay?”"Please don't leave me."“Mommy, I think I am dying. I am sorry. I'm sorry for all the lies.”A sound came out of Elena that didn't sound like a person. She lurched back and her spine hit the bookshelf. A vase shattered across the floor and she didn't look at it.She stared at me."No." She shook her head and hair came loose."No. You're perform
Mommy, Please Believe Me Once Chapter 4
The third day arrived. The pack house heat had run high all night, and the seal tape could no longer hold the smell.Elena sat trimming wolfsbane blooms. No matter how strong the flowers were, they couldn't cover what was coming from my room. She grabbed a stem too hard and a thorn punched through her finger.She had already decided I was hiding something foul in my room on purpose. To her, this was defiance. This was war.She went to the hall closet and came back with a training rod, the kind pack Enforcers used for discipline."You don't respond to severance, Selena? Then we go back to basics."She ripped the tape off the bottom of the door and shoved the spare key into the lock.The door crashed open.The smell hit her hard. She staggered back, gagged, and one hand flew to her mouth.She looked up. I was still at the desk, in the same position as three days ago, my back to her and not moving.In her mind, that was arrogance. A silent challenge."I'm talking to you." She crossed the
