Dear Diary,

Ty told me he loves me.

Love.

I don't know how I feel about all this yet my thoughts are all jumbled up. I have never known what it's like to be loved or how to love someone back. I think I love Ty, however I just don't know how I feel about the whole wolf thing..

I'll get back to you on all of this.

~Aria

I woke up tangled in Ty's body.

With all the heat radiating between us, I'm surprised, because I haven't even broke a sweat.

Tyson's still asleep. I love watching him sleep. This is the only time he is vulnerable. He isn't acting tough or anything he's just innocent like a child.

When he sleeps sometimes his lips will move up and down, it's so cute; like he's dreaming or something. His face is totally relaxed as well, like he doesn't have a care in a world. His body language is completely different however.

He holds onto me like I'm his life preserver. If I make the slightest move his face changes for a second like he's making sure I'm still here. Then he wraps his arms around me tighter. I don't know if he knows he's doing that or not.

I wonder if he has ever watched me sleep. No he probably falls asleep the same time I do, besides my face is usually pressed into him so he wouldn't even have the chance to.

It's kind of creepy after a while. Just watching someone sleep, like a creep. That rhymed.

"Arrabella?" Ty asked making me jump. It's funny I was staring right at him yet I didn't even realize he opened his eyes.

"Yeah?" I asked while refocusing on his face.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked his brown eyes boring into mine. Ty's eyes reminded me of a puppy's.

"My thoughts are all over the place," I admitted.

He nodded and I wiggled out of his grasp.

"Do you know when you sleep you move your lips up and down?" I asked.

"Yeah I have since I was a baby, at least that's what my mom tells me," he chuckled.

"Where are your parents?" I asked.

"They work for the pack before I became alpha and before Carter became Beta his parents were betas and mine alphas. They are always away because they are out helping other packs," he explained.

I remember him mentioning his parents were alphas and Carter's were betas. I guess I just will never really understand all of it.

"Oh yeah, you mentioned that before," I reminded.

"Did you know you talk in your sleep and you scrunch up your nose like a bunny at times?" he asked.

"Yes I did know that and did you just compare me to a bunny," I laughed.

"Yeah I think I did," he chuckled.

"Did I talk in my sleep last night?" I asked.

He a blushed a little and then slowly nodded. Seeing him blush made me blush!

"TY! What did I say?" I shouted.

"You will never know," he teased.

"Tell me," I demanded while pushing at his chest.

"Ow," he mocked.

"Ty," I groaned.

"I'm not going to tell you Ar, it's private," he teased.

"How is it private when I'm the one that said it?" I replied.

He shrugged.

This is getting nowhere.

"Fine don't tell me," I sighed while getting off the bed.

I walked out of the room and went downstairs.

"CARTER," I shouted when I saw him sitting at the bar.

He looked up from his cereal bowl and smiled.

"Hey crazy," he replied.

I rolled my eyes and that's when I noticed the boy was topless. What is it with these guys, they are so toned. I mean he looks photo-shopped. Of course Ty looks better. Way better.

"I'm not crazy," I pouted while sitting next to him.

"Where's Ty?" he asked.

"I'm not talking to him," I replied.

"Because he wouldn't tell you what you said in your sleep?" he asked.

My jaw dropped to my feet.

"How did you know that?" I asked.

"Wolf hearing," he reminded.

Oh damn I forgot about wolf hearing. That's awkward Carter probably hears everything we say to each other.

The whole pack can probably hear us!

"Wait did you hear what I said in my sleep last night?" I asked.

He stopped short.

"YOU DID," I shouted.

"Well kind of," he chuckled.

"Spill," I ordered.

"I can't," he replied.

"Carter, tell me," I demanded.

Just then Tyson walked into the room. He chuckled at my frustration.

I hopped off the stool and ran upstairs. When I made it to hallway Ty was in front of me.

Damn he's fast.

I crossed my arms over my chest.

"You aren't going to talk to me?" he asked. I nodded.

"You're very stubborn you know?" he asked. I shrugged. Not really I just won't take his bullshit.

"Anything you want to say to me?" he asked.

I shook my head.

He lifted me up and carried me to his bedroom.

I was about to scream at him but I contained it. I won't give him the satisfaction of hearing me talk.

"You scare me when you don't talk," he whispered when he set me down on his bed.

I sighed.

"Okay Ar, I'll tell you just say something," he groaned.

"Tell me," I smirked.

He rolled his eyes and then sat down next to me.

"Okay okay," he groaned.

"Is it that bad?" I laughed.

"You said I love you Tyson," he confessed while scratching the back of his neck.

I sat there for a moment. I didn't know if I loved Ty or not, but now I think I do.

"I do love you Ty," I whispered.

He snapped his head in my direction and gave my goofy smile.

"Sorry I missed that," he grinned.

"I'm not repeating it," I mocked.

"Guess what?" he beamed.

"What?" I asked.

"I love you too," he grinned while pecking my lips.

"You shouldn't be scared Ty," I stated.

"Scared?" he questioned.

"I'm not ever going to stop talking again, in fact you will now probably never get me to shut up," I stated.

He chuckled.

"I wouldn't want it any other way Ar," he smiled.

"Well good because I owe it to you," I replied.

"You did it yourself babe," he winked. I laughed. Babe? I don't really know what Ty and I are, I guess mates. A mate is like a lifelong partner so does that mean Ty and I are dating?

"Do you have a question?" Ty asked causing me to snap out of my thoughts.

"Mates are lifelong partners, right?" I verified.

"Yes exactly," he grinned, I think he was really happy that I was finally getting it.

"So if we were going to put a title on our relationship," I stated.

"Arrabella," he asked.

"Tyson don't call me that," I complained.

"Aria James will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.

I started coughing, girlfriend?

I nodded while smiling.

"Yes?" he beamed. I nodded again while once again coughing. This is so much to handle.

"Are you okay? SHERRY," he shouted.

"NO," I said threw my cough. I'm pretty much choking on my own spit right now.

"Alpha," Sherry asked while entering the room.

I tried to stop coughing, so I help my breath.

"Are you holding your breath?" Ty asked. I let it out and another cough came out.

"I'm fine," I choked out.

"Alpha?" Sherry asked again as if she was asking for permission. No way she was using the gas mask on me again!

I take a deep breath and finally get myself under control.

"I was choking on my spit Ty," I stated while slapping him in the chest.

"Oh sorry, Sherry you are excused," he chuckled.

"It's not funny and you can't freak out like that every time I start coughing," I complained.

"I know Aria, I just worry about you," he confessed.

"That's because you're a good boyfriend," I smiled.

He grinned back while pulling me onto his lap. I leaned my head against his chest while he stroked my back. Ty's touch felt magical; just being in his arms made me feel safe.

"You know we have to talk about what happened in the woods babe," he sighed.

"I know," I replied.

He nodded and then let it drop, we spent the next hour just sitting and taking in being in each other's presence.

The next morning Ty and I talked about what happened. I told Ty I just needed some time to adjust to the whole werewolf thing. Most of all because of Ty's temper, it reminded me of my fathers.

Well on the subject of my father, I really wonder what happened to him. I mean he hasn't tried to come see me at school or try and contact me in any way. I know he doesn't want to come for a visit I just thought he would want me back to take his anger out on and feed him, I mean he can't even make himself cereal.

Ty acts weird when I bring up my dad. He says I shouldn't even be thinking about him. How can I not think about the man of my nightmares? Ty won't even let me go by the house, see if he's there or anything.

In fact when I brought up visiting the house Ty threw a table! A table! He just picked it up like it weighted nothing and threw it against the wall.

I know he's keeping something from me and I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
