Third person's POV
"Oh, no. I should have known this would happen." Aiden mumbled under his breath as he saw Derek among the captives who had decided to join the warrior department.
Derek who had seen him from afar, had an amused smirk on his face to welcome him. The expression made Aiden's stomach churn, a reminder of past torments and the sight of his nemesis sent a chill down Aiden's spine, despite the warmth of the day.
"He doesn't scare me anymore. I am no longer the Omega he used to bully." Aiden affirmed, stubbornly shaking off the fear in him.
"I believe you all know what you are signing for. There is no going back now." Ethan, the leader of the warriors said as the registration went on. His voice carried across the field, firm and unyielding as steel
After the registration, Derek went to stand beside Aiden who was alone, lost in his thoughts.
