A/N: I don't own these characters. They are the work of Sherrilyn Kenyon who is a literary genius in my opinion. I just play with the characters in my head. :)
This idea popped into my head when I was reading Darling's book. There was a short exchange between Anna and Fain during the book. Between that and their profile on the author's site I came up with this story line. Hope you enjoy.
Gods how she wished he knew she existed. Well, maybe that wasn't the right wording. He of course knew she existed. They traded pleasantries every time they encountered one another. They had even had a hand full of meaningful conversations over the years.
That was all fine and dandy, but what she wanted, what she really wanted was for him to notice her as a woman. She almost laughed out loud at the thought, which since she was in a library would not have been good.
She didn't know if it was because their brothers were friends or the age difference. But whatever the reason he didn't notice her.
She had tried everything she could think and none of it worked. She was a princess damn it that alone drew men to her. But not this one. Of course not, that would have been easy.
For someone who found that almost everything she did came easily to her that was a huge blow to the ego. But not so much as to cause her to lose hope. She was not the type to give up without fight when there was something she wanted. And she Annalise Cruel wanted Fain Hauk, badly.
