No Redemption (Completed book 6 of the Atonement Saga)

“What is taking him so long?” I snap at hope, my parents were throwing a ball and it was one of the rare occasions that i was allowed to spend time with desmond. We talked every single night, we could talk for hours and hours but it wasnt the same as seeing him. He was one of the very rare people who completely accepted me for me. “He’s close i can feel it, he’s driving” I sigh, crossing my arms and taking a seat on the deck to wait for him. Just 1 year left to go and we could be together, one year and nobody could stop us doing anything. My parents were understandably over protective, they had to be, i was a deaf lycan princess, people all over the world would love to take our titles, love to cause trouble and to them i was the weakest link, the connection that could possibly bring our family down. Or that's what they think anyway, but i know better, i know that wont happen because my family made me strong, they have been training me my entire life, building me up so im the underdog. They think im weak but honestly im not. “Whats up your ass?” Hadley signs taking a seat in front of me “Just waiting for desmond” She snorts rolling her eyes, i zero mine at her “What the hell was that?” She shrugs smirking at me, “shes being a total b***h as usual” Hope snaps at me as I continue “You know what dont even bother i cant be bothered listening to your crap” She laughs, shaking her head “Because you know its true, your mated to an old ass alpha—” She starts, but my attention is pulled away from her as desmonds car pulls up, excitement bubbles up within my belly as i leap of the chair and sprint down the steps just as he opens the door and climbs out. His beautiful face lights up as i sprint straight for him, leaping of the grass and right into his open arms, he spins me around, burying his head in the crook of my neck, tingles spread throughout my throat, sending a delightful shiver down my spine. One emotion after the other hits me, tears pooling in the corner of my eyes as his scent fills my soul and spreads throughout my body, infecting every muscle as its seeps into every bone in my body making me go limp. It had been around a month since we last seen each other, since i turned at 16 its been harder and harder to resist being around each other, im now physically mature enough but emotionally and mentally im not ready to be a luna or even just a mate yet. So instead we limit our time together and speak everyday so our bond continues to grow with as little physical attraction as possible. Desmond pulls back after a few moments and he places me on my feet, taking my head in his hands he gently kisses my nose then he pulls away “I love you so much and there are no words to describe how much i have missed you” He wipes a stray tear from my cheek as he slowly says the words so i could lip read “I love you and i missed you too” He grins pulling back further while running his hand down my arm before linking his fingers with my own. “You look so beautiful” I grin looking down at myself, i wasnt a person who often dressed up, i was more of a comfort dresser, i wore boho clothes and often no shoes but today i wore a blue gown, it was a simple blue silk dress that fell to the floor where i wore brown sandals on my feet, a slit up the left side of my dress stopped just at my thigh, my long brown hair fell to my waist in loose curls, my makeup was minimal just how i liked it. I definitely looked nice but beautiful was probably a stretch, desmond on the other hand looked devastatingly handsome, he wore a matching dark blue suit, his hair was dark, curly and messy just the way i like it, his face was clean cut and shaven, but what i loved most about him was the twinkle in his eyes. He was stunning, we looked like the perfect pair standing side my side. Before i have a chance to answer i hear vibrations coming from behind me, i turn resting in his arms as cain drags a tired looking Eva towards the marquee, katy on the other hand was sneaking out of it completely drunk out of her mind “Have they still not talked yet?” Desmond signs to me, talking about katy and branson, they were mates, the 2 that will bring both our kinds together, although first they needed to figure out how to have a conversation with each other. Branson is desperate to be a part of her life but katy despises him. None of us really know why or what happened but i do know katy doesn't sleep until she is passed out drunk and she runs from every family event in the hopes of avoiding him. “No, she wont tell me what happened but she doesn't sleep anymore, not unless shes drunk” He sighs, shaking his head “Promise me you never do that to me, no matter how angry you are at me, id rather you scream at me instead of ignoring me” “I will if you will” I sign back holding out my pinky so he could swear on it, he chuckles taking my hand then he gently places a kiss on my hand, my eyes watch as he his lips move slowly, soft deliberate moves, every fibre in my body was screaming for him to kiss me, screaming for me to let him mark me, to complete the bond but i had to wait, he had to wait no matter how hard or impossible it may feel to ignore the urges we both shared, it’s what was best for both of our sakes. “Come, lets go get something to eat–” He starts but a blur of activity from the corner of my eye drew my attention away from desmond and right as i spot hadley i spot a group of warriors from another pack follow a man out of the marquee, his nose in the air as his eyes dart around the area but before he even has a chance to say a thing hadley launches herself into the mans arms, i could feel the vibrations of her excited scream as she lands on his chest, wrapping her legs around his waist. For a moment he looks stunned, his face was white in shock as he pulls back only slightly to see her face, she freezes like hes about to critic her on something. But as his face splits into a huge wide grin she immediately relaxes, pushing forward and slamming her lips against his “Ohhh dads going to kill her” Hope chuckles turning back to desmond whos watching on in disappointment “Whats wrong?” I sign. He smiles running his hand down my cheeks before pulling on my bottom lip with the hard pad of his callus thumb. “I just cant wait to do to those lips what they are doing with theirs” My face flushes red just slightly but i had to admit its all iv dreamed of my entire life. Taking that first step and feeling his lips touch mine. “One day, shall we eat?” I ask, changing the subject with my hands. One amazing thing about being deaf was i didnt need to stay in awkward conversations, it was so much easier to just get to the point when you couldn't talk right. As we go to take our seats I huff when I see we were not seated together, turning to find my dad I glare at him. “What the hell dad!” He smirks, shrugging his shoulders innocently “Don’t worry, just sit on his knee, he will be busy dealing with that” Hope snorts just as the man mated to my sister carries her into the marquee as she kisses down his neck, dad seeing my face frowns “What?“ “Oh I’m just thinking me and Desmond are the last of your worries”
