Crimson dawn liquefied into bronze hues as Alyssa's nails gouged Wolf Mother's phalangeal joints. Striae ridgeed beneath ribs—she rammed the corpse-waxed fingerbone downwards. Golden blooded, splattering celestial charts across mechanical womb membranes, Orion's belt flashing holograms of Laine altering her birth records three centuries prior.
"Crone's botched cosmetic surgery." Alyssa wiped fetal blood from lashes, golden droplets coagulating into micro-lab logs. Kane's biomechanical spine erupted through domes, his lupine arm's striae cracking cheekbones: "Now see who's adopted? Mother."
The Big Dipper contorted into bronze umbilical constellations—each star a Laine experiment code. Alyssa's hair ensnared Sirius' gleam, micro-sarcophagus tattoos activating— Footage of infant her receiving Kane's embryonic heart while Laine forged her genome in adjacent chambers. Moonlight through observation windows triggered seven hundred thirty ravens pecking star charts, regurgitating bite-marked Thorned Matrimony scraps.
"Mutual paternity test?" Kane's biomechanical hand disassembled into seventy-two scalpels slicing her striae. Golden spray hitting pubic triggered azure amniotic seepage dyeing constellations into deletion codes: "Vessels should brim with epochal lies...Mother."
Alyssa's back shattered confinement rune bricks—Wolf Mother's molar from debris impaling her clavicular brand. Agony-flashbacks revealed Laine steeping her ovarian specimen in Kane's embryonic fluid while tricentennial self gnawed bronze umbilical cords— Bite marks perfectly aligned with constellation fractures.
"Crone's DNA party?" She snapped three strands, micro-sarcophagus tattoos projecting inverse star maps. Kane's liquefied lupine arm irrigated "Protocol 73001" codes glowing on womb casing. Moonlight showed digits devouring Orion's stars—each absorption projecting wolf infant sacrifices.
Dawnlight siphoned into bloody filaments as Alyssa's abdomen translucized. Laine's hologram emerged from her womb waving half a bronze key with milk-tooth indentations: "Vessel modification 900%—gratitude for final data modules."
Wolf Mother's fingerbone melted into golden reflux through striae. Alyssa witnessed Lyra's position replaying Volume One Chapter 30—rain-lashed ritual where her newborn fangs shredded Laine's prosthetic hand.
"Parenting livestream finale." Kane's amniotic-corroded vocals lashed pocketwatch chains around Polaris. All ravens combusted, ash raining seven hundred thirty mechanical placentas— Each engraved with Alyssa's clone codes, umbilical ends tethered to Blood Matrimony fragments.
Dawnlight through Wolf Mother's cranial oculus shattered constellations into bronze deluge. Alyssa's hair bleached fog-gray, roots exuding inverse-sigil chrono-keys. Kane's "Mad King" sigils metastasized across his face, each striae bleeding Laine's forgery script.
Pubic detonations rumbled below. Mechanical placentas synced fetal kicks. Laine's projection sprouted silver fangs in downpour.
Southeastern horizon distended into birth canal configuration, dying starlight echoing three hundred newborns' cacophony—gear gnashing fused with umbilical friction.
Alyssa clenched molten fingerbone remnants—not blood but encrypted howl frequencies in her palm. Before moonlight died, two final stars coalesced into embryonic Kane's grin— Clutching her original birth certificate, teeth sunk into forbidden Thorned Matrimony chapters.
