My mother never believed me. To her, I was always just a lying pup. In my pack, every cub wore a Moon Oath Collar. Red meant you lied. White meant you told the truth. My sister’s collar always glowed a soft white. Even when she pretended to be sick to get out of an exam, her collar only gave off that gentle white light. Mine was different. Even when I was truly sick, my collar would burst into a violent red, and the punishment current would follow immediately. On my sister’s birthday, Mother prepared a bonfire feast for the whole pack. Just before they left, a splitting pain tore through my head, and I collapsed on the floor, begging her to help me. For one second, she almost picked me up. Then my collar flashed red. “To ruin your sister’s birthday, you’re even pretending to die? What a vicious child.” Then she walked out with my sister and left me alone on the floor. I died alone on the cold floor. But when I opened my eyes again, I was no longer inside my body. My soul drifted after my mother as I whispered the truth she had never believed. “Mom… I wasn’t lying. I really died.” And when they finally found my body, the red collar on my neck was still flashing.

Three days later, the Artifact Division delivered its final findings.The white collar Jenna had worn around her neck had never been a temple-registered Moon Oath Collar to begin with.Its internal wiring had been altered. The judgment module had been removed long ago, leaving behind nothing but the simplest light panel. No matter what the wearer said or did, it would only ever glow white.In other words, Jenna had never truly been “tested” at all.The white light on her throat had never meant honesty.It had only ever been a result that had been fixed in advance.The day the report arrived at the Enforcement Office, my mother lost control on the spot.She turned the pages over and over, repeating, “That’s impossible,” under her breath. But the deeper she read, the clearer it became. There were maintenance traces, evidence of tampering, and records tracing the parts back to the black market. The proof came one piece after another, leaving her no room to lie to herself anymore.At last,

The technician stepped forward, took the collar from her, and began examining it. Five minutes later, he spoke.“This is not a Moon Oath Collar at all.”“A real Moon Oath Collar is built around dual lunar-breath runes and a bloodline recognition array. The outer engravings are complete, and the inner core is registered through the temple archives. Every single one can be traced back to the maker and the priest who blessed it.”“This one cannot.”He used a pair of tweezers to lift the crude red sensing stone from inside and dropped it onto the table.“This is a cheap red moonstone, fitted with the most basic emotional conduction plate and an old punishment chip. The shell was made to imitate temple design, but there isn’t even a proper lunar circuit inside it.”“To put it simply, this is a fake.”“Someone took a civilian emotional-response collar, altered it to look like a Moon Oath Collar, and added a punishment function so it could be used to deceive people. It cannot tell truth from

In the interrogation room at the Black Pine Pack Enforcement Office, I drifted near the ceiling and watched my mother sit across the table with both hands locked hard over her knees. She looked ten years older than she had the night before. There were dark circles under her eyes, her lips had lost their color, and her hair was still in disarray. Even here, she still refused to admit she had done anything wrong.She was afraid. She was afraid that the thing she had trusted for more than ten years would finally prove that she had killed her own daughter with her own hands.The collar they had removed from my neck lay on the table between them.The black leather band was still stained with darkened blood and scorched bits of flesh, and a shred of my skin was still caught inside the clasp. Yet the red moonstone at its center, the one meant to show the result of its judgment, was still flashing in sharp, steady pulses.The enforcement captain sat across from her with the interrogation notes

Mom’s hand froze too.A second earlier, she had still been clutching my collar with all her strength, but then it was as if something struck her hard. She let go at once and staggered back two steps.With nothing holding it up anymore, my body slid sideways from the chair. My forehead hit the edge of the desk with a heavy thud.But I could not feel pain anymore.That sound seemed to jolt Mom awake. Her face went white in an instant.Because she had finally seen my face.It was no longer the face of the little daughter she knew, the one who always kept her head down and never dared meet her eyes.My skin had turned dark and ashen, the flesh around my eyes was swollen, and blood had seeped from my ears.The eyes she had always accused of “playing pitiful” were half open now, staring blankly ahead, and they would never light up again just because she said my name.“No…”“That’s impossible…”She refused to believe it. She lunged at me again, reaching for my face, my neck, and the breath be
