***Terra's P.O.V.***
"Have you ever thought of what your life would be like if you never met me?" I ask, staring at the ceiling. Currently, the two of us are lying on my bed with me tucked securely into his side. My head is resting on his chest which is steadily rising and falling, but I can't fall asleep.
"I have." I wait for him to add something more, but I'm greeted with silence instead.
"And?" I press, curious to know more. I hear him sigh as he rolls over to wrap both arms around my waist. He tugs me on top of him so I can look down into his sleep filled eyes and lazy smile.
"Without you, I'd be horribly lonely, incredibly reckless, and extremely unhappy." He lightly blows the loose pieces of hair, partially obscuring my face, only to have them fall right back where they started. "I love you. So stop thinking of the days before we met and focus on us now."
"You just want to go to sleep, don't you." He closes his eyes and rests his head back on his pillow.
"Very much." His whole body relaxes, and I gaze down at my mate, amused. "You know it's rude to stare." He comments without opening his eyes.
"I can't fall asleep lying on top of you." I argue, making his lips twitch.
"I'm comfortable." He whispers, and I allow my head to fall forward to rest on his collar bone. Closing my eyes, I try to relax all of my muscles and let sleep overcome me. Aaron helps by lightly rubbing my arms, effectively calming my wolf.
For some reason, my wolf has been agitated and more alert since right after we ate dessert. I feel her pacing in the back of my mind which it turn reflects on how I act. I blamed it on being tired, but I can't fall asleep. Something has to be wrong or not quite right to make her act like this.
"Go to sleep." He murmurs, gently moving me next to him. He kisses my temple and hugs me tight against him. I keep my eyes closed, but feel like my body won't let me fall asleep.
"I don't know if I can." I reply after a few minutes, but he doesn't answer. Instead, he starts humming an unfamiliar tune. The sounds start barely audible, and gradually become a little louder.
I don't remember much after that because I completely passed out.
"Terra." My eyes immediately fly open, and I push myself upright. "Whoa." Aaron jumps back to avoid our heads banging together. "Careful Angel."
"Sorry." I shoot him a sheepish smile and throw my feet over the edge of the bed. "Force of habit, I guess."
"I know." I watch as he rummages through his bag of clothes and picks out a shirt for today. "How are feeling this morning?" I shrug.
"Alright. What time is it?" I look to my window where I see the sun already shining brightly.
"Around ten thirty." My eyes widen in surprise before I hop to my feet and run into my closet.
