Hmm, I wasn't expecting that but I did expect her reaction. When we first started to loose her in the mist, I came up with a backup plan. Good thing to because she fell right into it. She's stronger then she was before but not as strong as Vance or myself. The memory of that day with Zach makes me sick, I thought I buried it better then that. Guess not. I push that to the back of my mind for later and consintart on right now, nothing can go wrong.
I've pushed my magic on her with considerable force and now I've got to work fast while she completely under my control. Her mind has always fascinated me now it's even more so. I flip through her memories and come to the day 5 years ago when she left. We need to know this. This is what started the collapse of the bond.
I feel another connection forming in my mind, it almost makes me loose the one I'm holding with Lexi until I hear,
"Hurry up Voughn we haven't got all day to play around and she'll wake up swigging next time." There's humor in the voice and I mentally roll my eyes at him. Leave it to Vance to put everything in perspective.
"Ok, ok I think I've found it." I answer him. And with that I plunge us into her memories of 5 years ago.
Flashback....
Lexi POV
I'm sitting in the garden at the Asher family house it's beautiful here. I can't believe that Voughn and Vance grew up here. Well I can't believe their brothers. They hate each other and with the war coming to an end I don't see how their going to get along. I just don't know. It's my fault I fell for both of them and couldn't decide, why couldn't I. They wanted answer and it tore me up. I love them both it just makes me abnormal. How can I give up Voughn, he makes me feel safe and protected like nothing is ever going to happen to me again and then on the other hand Vance makes everything fun and care free. One protects and one plays it's like two half of the same whole and it makes me complete. I move my eyes from the lush garden with it claiming roses and ivy to the hedgs that make up the lamberth ot the center of the garden where I'm sitting to my left hand where my two interlocking rings lay. One is gold and one is a silver color where they lock in the center it's a spade and a heart together with a small crown in the middle. I sigh. Yup I did it, I married both of them. I can't believe I did that. I'm married at 17. How stupid can I be? But I love them.
We have only been married for 2 months now and they have left me in the care of their family, which I don't think like me at all. The war that has been dividing Cathdale for hundreds of years is coming to an end. The Kings have let their power and cruelty reach its highest point and now all the people are supporting the Queens. So I'm here to be safe as they finish this and reunite this country.
"Your royal highness, where are you?" I hear Trance calling me. Ugh how that man gives me the creeps but he's the trusted steward of both the Queens so I just put up with him and his ways. But something tells me not to trust him.
"I'm over here Trance." I answer as I get up and start walking towards him.
"Oh there you are. Your looking so refreshed today. I have something for you." He says and for some reason my stomach twists.
"Really? Who's it from?" I ask not wanting anything to do with it or him.
"Your husband's m'lady. They have sent word to you. I have it here for you." As he finished saying this he hands me a sealed envelope with both the seals from the two armies. My hands shake as I open the envelope and then my world comes crashing down around me as my heart and soul shatters.
Our dearest Lexi,
Please forgive us for doing this but it has to be done. We our sorry, you just don't fit into our world or life's. This marriage has been impulsive and with time apart have come to the conclusion that we need to end it before it's to late. Honestly you were just a distraction that we put to much on. Don't get us wrong you are a good fuck not great through. But to waste anymore time on you wouldn't be in our best interest. So with that saying Trance will take you back to the portal tonight and please leave our rings here you won't be needing them in the future.
With fond memories,
The Queen of Hearts
And
The Queen of Spades
As the letter falls from my numb fingers the tears fall from my eyes. How could they?! I look at Trance and he's giving me this small little smile with apologetic eyes.
"You knew." Is all I can get out.
"Yes Lexi. I'm so sorry but they sent me a letter telling me to have you go through the portal tonight and that it was over. I'm so sorry. " and he does look like it.
"Then how come this letter was sealed if you already read it?" I'm asking this to make since of it.
"I didn't read it they sent me a letter with this one sealed inside it. But from the one I received I figured it out." He tells me.
"I want to read yours." I say. Even though he's shaking his head at me I'm saying
"Please I need to know all of it. Please Trance."
"Ok but it's not pretty Lexi. I was trying to save you from more hurt." Trance says as he hands over his letter.
I grip it and look down to read it and a breaking sensation starts in my chest. Oh god this is killing me.
Trance
Please give the enclosed letter to that slut there. You need to get that fucking whore out of our house and back to her own world. We don't care how you do it or what you say as long as that little fucking slut is out of our lives. We'll pay you a bonus for being quick.
Thanks

The Queen of Spades
After I'm done reading his I turn to the side and vomit. I can't believe this is how they see me. I was a virgin up until our wedding night and they wanted...
It takes me some time to get my stomach under control but I manage to. After I straight up I look at Trance and say,
"I want my clothes I came in and then I'll be ready to go."
"That can be arranged Lexi. And again I'm so sorry about this." He tells me.
"It's not your fault your just the messenger." I tell him.
"Well maybe things would have worked out better if you hadn't be sleeping with Brent." He says as he leads me away from the house. I stop, what did he just say?
"Excuse me, what was that?" I ask.
He turns around and backhands me, then says,
"You heard me. I don't have to put up with your shit anymore little girl. Now the Queens know what kind of slut you are."
I'm shocked but before I can reply he continues with,
"And don't bother denying it either Brent already told both of them and gave them proof of your affair. Now let's go you filthy little whore."
And with my head hanging low I follow Trance back to the portal in the government garden. I've kept my rings as a reminder of this and the trust you can't give to anyone it's a lesson I've learned the hard way.
End of Flashback.....
I pull out of her memories and just look down at her. She's so small and so young. I was reminded of how young she was when we took her. God how can this be? While we where fighting she was being attacked in our own home by family and trusted friends. No wonder she doesn't trust us. No wonder she believed Zach when he came for her. She's been scared this whole time waiting for us to come and get her or to come and kill her. No wonder she has changed so in the last 5 years. Now more than ever it's important to establish our blood bond with her.
I look up and see the same murderous look in his eyes as are in mind and when he smiles at me his fangs are out and ready. Hmmm, it's time.
With that I roll Lexi to her back and lean her head off the bed so we both and strike at the same time. And just like last time we both move in and sink our teeth into our wife's neck drinking her blood and starting the connection between us again. As her blood fills my mouth all I can think is ....
Game, Set and Match baby. You have no more moves.
