her mate, she murmured into his shoulder. “I adore you. And I adore that you chose me.”
                  His expression solemn, Luther turned to her to cup her cheek gently, pressing his forehead to hers. “There was never any other option. You are my world, Yuna; and I promise to protect you and our pup, no matter what.”
                  She nodded, closing her eyes against the tears that threatened.
                  Come what may.
     
                  To her immense surprise, the young woman found that she dozed off halfway through the relatively uneventful flight. There was a moment in which Liam almost mauled a child who poked him while he was sleeping, but a fierce look from his mate quickly tempered his behavior.
                  In what seemed like no time at all, they were making an approach to the Edinburgh airport. Besides holding on to Luther's hand rather tightly when they made their landing, Yuna thought she handled it pretty admirably.
                  It was immediately evident that they were in a city thousands of years old. Edinburgh had few skyscrapers, but masses of large, period buildings, along with an immense clock tower and charming cobblestone streets. It was only 5am, so there were few people out; but Yuna didn't mind. Without people around, it was almost possible to imagine that she'd gone back in time- to a place where her worries and the dangers that chased her didn't matter.
                  “It's beautiful.” She murmured to Luther, and her mate only replied with an indulgent smile.
                  “This is nothing.” The slight burr that usually colored his voice seemed to have deepened the moment they'd touched down. Now, it resembled more his father's more prominently accented speech. Yuna decided that she liked the change. “Wait until we leave the city.”
                  He was right.
                  Though Edinburgh was lovely, with its winding streets and buildings frozen in time, it was only once they'd boarded a train and traveled fifty miles beyond the city limits that she truly discovered the beauty of Scotland.
                  The sun rose slowly over misty valleys and craggy mountains carpeted with a lush layer of green that stretched as far as they eye could see. Lakes and rivers cut through the countryside, running deep, strong and pearlescent cerulean, to smudge themselves out on the horizon. Every so often, small clusters of buildings proved habitation, some surrounded by emerald fields inhabited by cows, goats and horses that ran rampant. By midday, the entire affair was blanketed in wispy fog that thinned and condensed alternatively, aided in its undulations by a light, constant rain.
                  “When I was young,” Luther mused from beside her, “my parents told me there was magic here. The idea was planted to strongly that I was devastated when we left. Every time I come back, I feel it's easier to believe that what they said was the truth.”
                  “It must be.” Yuna fixed him with a small smile. “The moonkind originated here, didn't they? Some magic had to have made your people.”
                  “Indeed.” Leaning back in his seat, the tall man closed his eyes as he settled in for a rest. “You might want to get some sleep. It'll be hours before we reach Broxburn.” With that, he fell silent, leaving Yuna to her thoughts.
                  As the young woman pressed her face against the cool glass of the window, she caught sight of Viola's reflection in the row across from them. Even though her image was dim and unclear, Yuna coud see enough to know that the woman was in deep contemplation. She found herself wondering if Viola had decided whether or not to tell about her pregnancy yet. They were going to be in extremely close quarters with the Elders; and Dame
