In His Eyes: Nightmare

Zeke’s POV

Inside the cabin, an atmosphere of tension hangs in the air, the suffocating silence only emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

Alina, with her delicate frame, appeared even more vulnerable as she was trapped in the woman’s malicious grasp. In the midst of an impossible decision, I raise my arms in surrender, hoping for reason to triumph over the impending danger.

“Drop your weapon!”

Shouting with urgency, my voice carries across the room. As I let go of the weapon, it made a loud clatter as it hit the floor, its sound echoing the defeat I felt in every fiber of my being. Regrettably, I had to earn the woman’s trust, and this was the lone option.

With a smoldering rage, the woman narrows her eyes in response to my surrender. I glance over at Alina, only to find her unmoving, her eyes concealed by a blindfold and her mouth muffled by a gag. The sight triggers intense anger within me, but I must stay composed to ensure Alina remains unharmed.

As the woman’s eyes locked with mine again, she pressed the knife against Alina’s delicate throat, sending a shiver down my spine. I understand her intentions she’s reminding us of the fragility of this equilibrium, one that could be disrupted by even the slightest tremor.

“Drop it. Please.”

I raise my voice again, the desperation evident in my plea as it echoes through the stifling air of the cabin. The woman, however, remains unmoved, her eyes reflecting the weight of her despair. The sound of her laughter bounces off the walls, devoid of joy, intensifying the weight of our predicament.

“Enough games,” Growling, my words are tinged with frustration. “Release her!

If you’re pissed off at me, take it out on me. Alina never did a damn thing to you!”

“Zeke, you fool,” With a sneer, the woman’s laughter transforms into a venomous retort. “Did you really think surrendering would change anything?”

Her words, filled with contempt, sliced through the air, shattering the delicate optimism I had clung to in my desperate attempt. My teeth grind together as frustration courses through my body.

I know the woman, at least by her familiar name and recognizable face. She’s working at the supermarket and decided to participate in the mating run. She couldn’t have been more than 19. She’s got her whole life ahead of her.

She’s not among the individuals I need to terminate, but if she persists, she’ll become a target. I’ll make her death a mirror image of the pain she’s subjecting Alina to – searing and relentless.

“Let her go,” I pleaded again, my voice filled with the urgency of a heartbeat pounding in my chest. I watch as the woman’s posture stiffens the moment I start moving forward. I stop abruptly, my hand shooting up in surrender for the second time. “Listen, I apologize if I took out your mate, but my own survival has to come

first.”

“Survival? He wasn’t even bothering you.” The woman spits, her eyes burning with an anger that I struggle to understand. “We were so close to getting out of this goddamn game. We talked about having a whole bunch of babies! Why do you get to have a happy ending and I don’t? This bitch never did shit to me, but what did I ever do to you?”
