Free Celestial Love by Juli Blood

to have a copy of the holographic recording from every angle sent to him as soon as possible.  He wanted to make sure that he saw his wedding and his bride before his mother did.
    Edward reappeared around the screen and said, “Your Highness , please follow me.”  With that he turned and started for the palace.  Still the lovely ladies in red and lace kept perfect pace with him.
    Edward led them to the sitting room between his and Princess Kalea’s suites.  Edward turned and signaled him to stop for a moment as the Princess entered the room first, the screen remaining between them.  Bryan followed taking the seat indicated on the right side of a small table.  The screen now across the center of the table, Bryan was thankful for all his years of training in hiding his emotions.  He was putting it to good use as he continued to hide his growing irritation.
    Suddenly a sound, similar to that of a small electronic generator filled the room with a low hum, and the ladies with the screen rolled it up and left, with Edward right on their heels.  Bryan’s disappointment almost showed, however, when he discovered an electronic image scrambler had taken the place of the screen.  All he could see was a rough distorted outline.  Everything else was a swirl of light and energy.
    “I will lower the image scrambler in a moment.” Her soft voice instantly captured his attention and his heart rate increased a notch or two.  “First, however, I need to inform you of the second part of the marriage ceremony here on Estar Beta,” Princess Kalea began to explain.
    “This will come as a surprise to you but you see, my people have developed a limited telepathic ability.  I say limited because, in fact, we can only establish one link or telepathic connection in our lives.  This link is reserved and only established between a husband and wife.  It is far too valuable and too intense to be wasted on any other relationship.” Wanting him to have all the information before answering his questions, she quickly continued.
    “When the link is formed , it creates what has been called a window or a room in each person’s mind.  It is via this link that thoughts and feelings can be shared without words.  By focusing the thoughts you wish to share into this special window or room the other person hears them in their mind.  The feelings, I’m told are more fluid.
    “Unlike technologically enhanced persons that seem to have telepathic ability, we cannot know any thoughts but those willingly shared.  However, we can detect feelings whether focused or not.  This also prevents all forms of lying and deceit.
    “I want to make it perfectly clear that this link would only be between us.  No one else could join now or in the future.  There have been cases where someone has lost a spouse and wished later to remarry, and they have, but they are unable to form another link.  This link can only be formed once per person for life.”  Giving him a moment to absorb a ll this, she waited before continuing.
    Amazed , Bryan worked to understand all that she had just shared.  The possibility was amazing but he had questions.  Unfortunately, before he could form them into words, she began again.
    “Our medical experts ran many tests on you the other day and one of them was to determine whether or not you would be able to form this link.  All of their tests show that we are similar enough that this will work.  The only thing they were unable to test was the strength of the link.  For example, some couples have been known to be able to share thoughts over great distances, while others could only share when they were in sight of one another.  There is really no way to know prior to forming the link.
    “One last thing; you do not have to decide tonight.  This is the traditional time that the link is formed, but it can be formed at any time as long as another is not formed, and it cannot be formed without your consent.”  Taking a deep
