The blue flame in Alyssa's palm devoured the last remnant of the mechanical heart, and the ashes condensed into a crescent shape at her fingertips.
"This is the stigma of the Wolf Mother." Grayson picked up the ashes with tweezers and put them into the test tube. The liquid instantly boiled into blood red. "It can only be condensed after slaughtering pure-blooded werewolves..." He glanced at Kane's empty chest. "It seems that someone is hiding his identity."
A bronze coffin was buried under the ruins of the delivery room.
Kane leaned against the charred beam, his new skin showing under his torn shirt - no scars, no heartbeat. When Alyssa's dagger was against his throat, he held the blade and chuckled: "Dear, you should see your eyes now."
When Alyssa opened the coffin lid, a baby-sized mechanical embryo emerged from the frozen white mist. The display screen flashed with data: "No. VII's maternal genes are being optimized... Werewolf compatibility is 99.9%, vampire resistance is 0%."
The mirror reflected her changes: her left eye was burning with a blue flame, and her right eye had become a vampire's vertical pupil. The mine ruins suddenly shook, and a bronze altar rose from the ground. Alyssa's biological mother's necklace was suspended in the center, and the pendant was embedded with a fragment of the Eclipse Dagger.
"So I'm the best container." She crushed the embryo's life-support tube, and the blue blood mixed with the nutrient solution into a toxic smoke. Kane suddenly hugged her from behind, and his fangs pierced her mutant right eye: "Don't move... I'm extracting the tracking program."
(The inside of the necklace is engraved with "For Subject VII")
In the severe pain, Alyssa saw a revolving memory fragment: Kane was injected with her gene sample in the vampire dungeon, and his skin festered and regenerated in the moonlight. When he let her go, a microchip was lying in his palm, showing Victor's real-time coordinates.
The first meeting of the Eclipse Sisterhood took place under a blood moon.
Sylvia tore open the bandage on her abdomen. Under the gauze soaked in blue blood, a mechanical eye was recording data: "They implanted monitors in all the test subjects." The holographic projection showed the distribution map of the granaries of the seven major clans, and Victor's family emblem flashed at each coordinate.
"It's time to end this farce." Alyssa crushed the chip, but she didn't know that the fragments had seeped into her wound. In the dark, Sylvia licked the blue blood on her fingertips, and her mechanical eyes flashed red: "The mother body has been infected, and the countdown to the final evolution has begun."
"If they burn all of this, they'll only eat away at each other's ambitions." Lucas piled the sulfur bombs into a small hill. But Alyssa held his hand and said, "There are more interesting things hidden under the granary." Her flames burned through the floor tiles, revealing a girl sleeping in the freezer - she looked like Alyssa, and she was wearing a collar numbered VI.
Kane suddenly twisted VI's neck, and the mechanical spine burst into sparks in his hand: "This defective product..." He inserted the chip into the back of his neck, and the data stream flashed in his pupils, "...It's a very good navigator."
(The chip shows "Final Destination: Blood Moon Altar")
