Chapter 3

It took Anna almost half the night to fall asleep. Sleeping in a place filled with wolves wasn't something she prepared for and never thought she would have to. But when she did fall asleep, with the smell of something wonderful surrounding her, it was pure heaven. Not only was the bed big enough for her to move around in, it was the softest thing she's ever laid in. And it was a lot better than sleeping on that hard cement floor. Stretching her limbs Anna let out an unattractive yawn. Anna could only imagine what her hair looked like as she wiped away the crust from her eyes.

"You're a very interesting sleeper." Elsa spoke quietly. Anna jumped, putting her hands to her chest to calm down her racing heart. Elsa's lip twitched, wanting to smile as she watched a scowl form on the redhead's face.

"Were you watching me sleeping?" she asked getting out of the bed and storming to the bathroom. "First you have your dogs kidnap me then force me to stay and now you watch me sleep." she mumbled to herself. She closed the door as she heard Elsa follow her. She angrily opened and closed drawers as she searched for a brush to tame her wild locks of flames. Elsa waited patiently by the door. Listening to the girl struggling, contemplating if she should help or not. The young woman was obviously upset with the blonde and wanted no part of her

Anna sighed as she finally found what she was looking for and started to brush her mane. Wincing as she brushed through knots after knots. She gave another sigh as she finished.

"The toothbrush should already be on the counter." she heard Elsa say. Anna's eyes landed on a green toothbrush, a small smile spreading on her lips.

"Thank you." Anna said softly. Elsa nodded, speaking when she realized the girl couldn't see her.

"I-I mean you're welcome." she stammered. When she heard the water run she hurriedly walked back to her seat, plopping down and sighing. She was completely lost in what to do. Now that she found her mate, she had no clue what to do next. How was she supopse to tell Anna everything without freaking her out. I mean she already knows that there are werewolves. What else could shock her? The blonde thought.

Elsa sat back and closed her eyes as she remembered the talk she had with Gerda early that morning.

"I don't know what to do." Elsa breathed out, slamming her head on the kitchen counter. Gerda smiled at the Alpha's behavior. It was rare nowadays to see the girl in a funk. And if she was she never showed it. She always kept herself calm and collected. Never showing any affections or any expressions.

Ever since the passing of her parents, Elsa changed. She wasn't her happy outgoing self anymore. That Elsa died along with her parents sadly to say. She soon became an angry person. Mad at the world and even herself. Always comparing herself to her father. It broke Gerda's heart and really everyone's heart to see someone change completely. To see someone who was once so sweet and caring now an angry and lonely person. The only time she ever showed anything close to affection was around Gerda herself and her husband Kai. Gerda was quite glad her mate came when she did, though she wished it was sooner, she's glad she's here now.

"I'm guessing you're talking about Anna." the older woman said while cleaning the mess a few pack members made while making breakfast. Elsa snapped her head up, her eyes wide.

"Anna? Is that her name?" Elsa asked. The stubborn redhead's name sinking into her skull. She loved the name. The way it slipped passed her tongue sounded like a symphony. Gerda frowned and her lips formed into a thin line.

"Yes that's her name. My goodness Elsa I know you are slow in some situations but you don't even know her name?" the woman shook her head. She was definately Adgar's daughter. That man was never good with names. Elsa growled at her insult, sighing when it didn't faze the older woman. "What exactly do you need help with?" the woman asked. Elsa went quiet as she thought over her question.

"Everything." she grunted. Elsa's father was always there for her when it came to teaching her about the responsibilities of being an Alpha. Teaching her about what it takes and what to do to lead a pack. Taught since the day she could talk. Being an Alpha is something she was great at and needed no help with. But if it was related to anything about mates, she was completely clueless.

"Well she's human. She knows nothing about our kind or what a mate even is. So explain it to her. If she has any questions answer them." she began. "Once that is taken care of, you guys need time to get to know one another. But maybe not today. She needs to take everything in so just show her around the pack house or something." Elsa nodded as she took everything in. It sounded easy but she knew it wouldn't be.

"Okay." the blonde agreed. "I should probably head up to her room. She'll be up soon." Elsa stood up from the kitchen stool and began to head towards the stairs, stopping when Gerda called her.

"Elsa control yourself. Not only are you a wolf tied to your instincts, you're an Alpha tied to your instincts. I'm sure you know what I mean from watching your father." she smiled. And boy did she know. Her father was super protective and could be very possessive to her mother. Wolves are known to be very protective and showing everyone what's theirs. And don't even start on intimacy. But with Alpha's it's a whole different ball game. It's harder for an Alpha to control their needs. And even harder for them to seem less posssessive. Elsa nodded in understanding, giving Gerda a silent thank you before heading upstairs.

Gerda smiled as she watched the blonde disappear. Anna was good for Elsa and she knew she was. She was just waiting for Elsa to know as well.

Elsa opened her eyes at the sound of a door closing and soft feet coming towards her. There Anna stood with her arms crossed and her hair down. The smell of toothpaste and Anna surrounded the blonde as she stared up at the girl who was waiting for her to explain herself. "Well?" Anna asked losing her patience.

"Well what?"

"Are you gonna explain why you were watching me sleep?"

"I wasn't watching you sleep. I just sat down right before you woke up" Elsa lied. Elsa didn't want to say she was watching her sleep because it just sounded down right creepy. But she couldn't help but watch the redhead move around, mumbling and snoring in her sleep. "But now that you're up. There are some things we need to discuss."

Uncrossing her arms, Anna moves to the bed and sits down. Elsa waited til the girl was settled before speaking again. "Before I answer any questions of yours, there are things you should know." she paused. "Do you know what the term 'mate' means?" she asked. Biting her bottom lip, Anna thought over her question. Elsa's gaze fell on the redhead's lips as she continued the small assault with her teeth. Elsa wanted nothing more than to kiss the girl but her thoughts were put to a halt when Anna spoke.

"As in soul mate?"

Face stoic, Elsa speaks. "Yes. Something like that. Though humans most likely use it as an expressions, it's different for us wolves."

"Different how?"

"Every wolf has a mate. A person who is meant specifically for them and only them. Picked by the moon spirits. In some point in time we all eventually find our mates. Though some take longer than others, we find them. And from that point on it's our choice." Elsa explained.

"Choice?"

"To keep their mate or reject them." she answered in disgust. Why anyone would do something like that was beyond her understanding. Rejecting your mate isn't only ridiculous it's a painful process. It's like taking heartbreak to a another level. "Anna you and I are mates." Elsa finished. As more time ticked by the tenser the blonde got. She knew Anna would think about it but she couldn't help but worry.

"So what you're telling me is that I'm your mate?" Elsa didn't say anything. She patiently waited for Anna to take everything in. "So what does that mean? Can't you just reject me or whatever?" Anna rushed out.

"Is that what you want?" Elsa said harshly. Her face was expressionless but the tone in her voice expressed it all. The blonde was obviously offended by her suggestion and didn't like it one bit.

"N-No. Ye- I don't know! This is just a lot to take in." she said, legs bouncing up and down. "So what do I do as a-a mate?"

"As a mate you do nothing, it's just like being in a relationship. But as Luna of the pack you have responsibilities just as I do." By the look on Anna's face she was confused. "Basically like Kings and Queens but different."

Elsa's heart started to pound as the redhead stood up and began to pace around the room. "That doesn't make any sense. Why me. I don't know how to run a pack. A pack of wolves at that." she mumbled, shaky fingers running through red hair as she continued to pace. "And another thing." she pointed to the blonde. "A-Aren't Kings or Alphas, aren't they suppose to be males?" she asked on the verge of freaking out. Anna couldn't be still. Her mind was working on overdrive. Being someone's mate was on thing, but being Luna was another. Maybe Elsa mistaken me as her mate. "Are you sure that I'm your mate?" teal eyes met icy blue.

"Are you questioning me about my insticts?" the blonde growled. She knew the younger girl would have a hard time understanding. But questioning if she was right about her mate was ridiculous. "Anna I'm positive that you are my mate. Now please stop pacing and sit down. It's hard to speak to you when you're constantly moving." Sighing, Anna sat in her previous spot.

"Thank you. Now to answer your question, yes most Alphas are males but there are rare occasions when it can be a female."

"And what about the y-you know?" Anna asked motioning between the two of them. Anna was fighting a blush of embarrassment as Elsa furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "You know, two girls." A smile formed on the blondes face as Anna's cheeks turned darker.

"It's not rare for two females to be mates but it doesn't happen often." she paused, examining the redhead as she tried to look anywhere but the woman in front of her. "Does that bother you?"

Anna winced at the question. The sound of hurt written all in it. She felt her heart crush at the thought of hurting the blonde in any way.

"No no no. I didn't mean it it that way. It's just that I've never even thought about dating a girl so I find it...confusing that you're my mate." she breathed out. This is a lot to take in. Taking care of a pack seems like a big resposibility that she wouldn't be able to handle. She just wanted to go home and lay in bed, eating cookie dough ice cream.

"When can I go home?" Elsa's jaw clenched. "It's just that my dad is probably having a break down and it's the end of the school year. I can't mi-"

"School?" Elsa asked. "How old are you?"

"18. W-What does that have to do with anything?" Elsa sighed in relief. "Anyways I would like to go home." she spoke, raising from her seat. The blonde tightened her fist as she tried not to lose her temper. She needs more time. All she needs is more time. More time to spend with her. More time for them to get to know each other. And then, then she'll want to stay.

"You can't go home. Not yet." she said standing up, walking towards the door. Wanting to leave the situation as fast as she could.

"Not yet?" she asked annoyed. "I need to go home. To at least think this through and I can't do that with you around." she spoke reaching out for the blonde's hands. Her eyes widen when their hands touch. A cold shiver running up her spine causing her to pull away. They stared at each other neither one of them knowing what to say. Elsa's ear twitched as someone was trying to reach her through the mind link. The blonde sighs in defeat knowing the stubborn redhead would not give up.

"Fine. You can leave tonight." Elsa's wolf whimpered. Upset with the decision she made and the blonde didn't blame her, she herself was upset too. Without another word Elsa turned and left the room.

After searching for what felt like an hour, Anna finally found the kitchen. This place was bigger than what she thought and without the help of Gerda it seemed a lot bigger. Only wanting something small and quick to eat she settled on an apple. She wasn't very hungry, especially after the conversation she had with Elsa. She still hasn't quite wrapped her mind around it. Right now it's the last thing she wanted to think about. Instead she wanted to look around the place.

Taking the apple with her, she left the kitchen. She tried to ignore the looks she was getting but found it difficult. They weren't dirty looks or evil glares. It was more of curiosity than anything else but she still didn't like the attention being on her. Turning the corner, she finds herself in what looks like a tv room. A long black couch laid up against the wall with a 43 inch flat screen tv in front. In the middle was a glass coffee table. She noticed that the color scheme in here was mostly dark colors and she was surprised to find no one in here.

Leaving, she headed towards a door that lead outside. Throwing away whatever was left of her apple she opens the door. Breathing in as she welcomes the fresh woodsy smell. She smiles as the leaves under her feet crack. Today was a beautiful day to be out. Her smile brightens at the sound of birds. Outside is where she belonged. Not locked up in a cell.

"Well well well. Look who's out. I'm surprised your not taking your chance in running away." a male voice said. Walking towards her was none other than Kristoff himself.

"I'm surprised Elsa doesn't have you locked up." she said rolling her eyes. Kristoff laughs as he stops in front of the younger girl.

"Well because of you she didn't. So thank you." he said seriously. "And I apologize for what I did to you. Just know that I normally don't act like that and if I kn-" he continued.

"Kristoff shut up." she smiled. "It's fine. You were only doing what you were told. No need to apologize." she paused. "Though I wonder why killing is the only option." the blonde stayed silent as she let her mind wander. She didn't know why she felt comfortable around Kristoff. Even when she was locked in a cell, she still felt somewhat protected by him. Anna turned to look at Kristoff who seemed to be deep in thought.

He was dressed in a black t-shirt that showed off his muscles and dark jeans. He was big a man. Anyone with eyes could see that. You would have to think twice if you decided to get in a bad situation with him. Maybe even three times. You can tell he hasn't cut his hair in some time as it laid where ever it fell and eyes were a golden brown that reminded you of a child. He was a good looking person Anna will admit but other than that, there was no attraction.

"I see Elsa hasn't marked you yet." he spoke pulling Anna away from her thoughts.

"W-What?"

"Marked you. She hasn't marked you yet." He repeated with a smile. Anna cleared her throat.

"Is that another wolf term?" she asked. "I can't handle anymore wolf things today." she sighed.

"I'm guessing she told you then. I know how you feel. Me and my mate went through the same thing." he laughed softly.

"You have a mate?" Anna asked. She never stopped to think that he might have a mate. He just didn't seem like he did.

"Yeah. She's asleep right now." he paused. "You're probably taking this a lot easier than she did. She actaully ran away when I told her. She called me crazy." His eyes began to unfocus as if he was remembering the whole thing. "Anyways, all you need is a little time to think over it. Knowing Elsa she'll only wait so long."

Anna knew he was right. She didn't know Elsa that much but she did know that the blonde could be very impatient. But even that didn't help her with what she was going to do. She still needed time to think. Maybe when school was taken care of she'll have a better chance of making a decision. But there was still a month of school left and Elsa would not wait that long. Sighing she nods her head, turning to Kristoff, only to be faced with no one there.
