Born into the Silver Moon werewolf pack, Stella’s life is a living hell, bound by a magical "Truth Collar" forced upon her by her mother, the Luna. Whenever Stella speaks the truth—that she is hungry or in agonizing pain—the collar flashes a piercing red, falsely branding her a liar. Believing a glowing stone over her own daughter, her mother locks her away to starve. Only after Stella dies in isolation, leaving behind a heartbreaking diary, does her mother discover the devastating truth: the collar was a fake, reacting only to the child's terror and physical suffering.
As her former family descends into madness and karmic ruin, Stella's soul finally crosses over. Reborn as Grace in a warm, loving home, she leaves her tragic past behind. Surrounded by genuine affection and a family who listens, she finally experiences the freedom and unconditional love she was always denied.
