Celestial Love by Juli Blood

Bryan’s room responding to Edward’s summons.  When Bryan was carried in and laid on the bed Leo asked. “Was he injured?”
    “No,” Queen Nadia said.  “He is simply asleep.  He will probably sleep until morning and that would be best.”  She stated with a mothers’ authority, convincing him that to wake the prince might be harmful.
    “ When you have him resting comfortably feel free to return to the reception.  There is plenty of celebrating yet to be done.”  With a smile Queen Nadia turned, followed by the two bearers.
    Leo shrugged and set about getting the prince out of his suit.  Deciding he would be comfortable enough in his undergarments, Leo made note of his vital signs and then returned to the reception.
    Queen Nadia went and supervised getting Kalea tucked in.  Franklin had laid her on the bed and then left leaving Linda to settle her. 
    ‘Douglas will be thrilled with this news,’ Queen Nadia thought with a smile as she descended the stairs, deciding not to share it with him over the link but face to face.

    “Princess wake up! Please wake up its important!"  Linda pleaded as she shook Princess Kalea’s shoulder.  "It's urgent, Princess, please wake up!"
    Slowly Princess Kalea moved away from the hands on her shoulder with a soft groan.  "What is it? What is so important?" she asked groggily.
    "Oh Princess, I'm so sorry to bother you but an urgent message has come in from SC-17.  It seems there has been some serious damage done to one of the water filtration systems.  And unfortunately, it looks like sabotage."
    Princess Kalea sat up in bed and rubbed her face as she listened to Linda explain. "The security force has taken control and they refuse to allow anyone in or out of SC-17 until the case is solved.  Unfortunately, what they don't seem to understand, is that with the water filtration system down there won't be enough water for everyone within a matter of days!" Linda explained as she rushed around gathering Princess Kalea’s things and packing them quickly into a small suitcase.
    Kalea was up and closing the bathroom door as Linda finished.  "Don't forget my copy of the Ancient Writings and I'll need all the water filtration systems information downloaded into the shuttlecraft.  Also, call down and have them pack the deep sea gear. I may need to inspect the site from outside SC-17."
    Stepping into the shower and feeling the warm and gentle water flow through her dark hair Princess Kalea closed her eyes and focused her thoughts.  It was then that she became fully aware of the new sensation that she realized must be the link.  With only a moment’s hesitation she mentally crossed the threshold and for the first time heard Prince Bryan’s voice in her mind as well as all the feelings he put behind it.  A smile touched her lips as she listened to him say "I love your eyes."
    "Thank you Holy One, thank You that we were able to link.  Thank You that we will be able to help save his world."  Trying to suppress a giggle, she continued.  "Thank You that he is handsome, strong and seems a bit daring and kind.  I don't think he'll be hard to love at all.  I can almost sense his eager anticipation of exploring this new reality for both of us.  I hope his eagerness extends to more than just the link but to our relationship as well.  Thank you for preparing his heart and mine."
    Realizing that time was getting away from her, she quickly finished washing up and got out of the shower.  As she was drying off she continued her prayer.  "Oh Holy One, I must be honest, even though You know anyway.  I feel terrible having to leave this morning.  Prince Bryan has meeting with the military today and he can't possibly come with me and I can't delay.
    “You know what happened with the water filtration system.  Please give me wisdom as I determine not only how to repair the damage , but to also find out who or what is responsible.  And please help me to sooth tensions and
