"Happy birthday Zoey! I really hope you had a great day" Emma exclaimed on the video call.

"Thank you! I miss you."

"I miss you too sweetheart. I'm sorry I couldn't make it today and I am so proud of you for shifting. Luka said you were great. Can't wait to see for myself" She sighed in content as Jody took over the phone and started her own series of wishes.

Emma is Luka's younger sister who lives in England. Her twin brother and also Luka's younger brother, Ty, is the Alpha of the Emerald Pack in England. He found his mate there a few years ago, and since she was the only heir of the former Alpha, Ty took the position once they were fully mated. 

A few months later, Emma went to visit him and found her mate too, who was Ty's Beta. It was such a lovely story that will forever leave me in awe.

Whenever I went there throughout the years, I always felt right at home. Even though I wasn't blood related to Luka, his siblings always welcomed me with open arms whenever I visited, and their mates did just the same. And it was even better that Jody was my age, so we always got along quite well. Jody was Emma's mate's little sister, but she always seemed like my sister.

We even looked alike for the most part, and her hair was just like mine. So whenever I visited and I didn't have Victoria to help me with my hair, she always did. Unlike me, Jody was an expert on our hair-type. 

"And then we will finally run together in wolf form and be the badasses we were born to be" Jody continued with her rambling while I searched through the mass of people in our backyard for my sister.

"I can't wait. I'll make it my duty to get a flight to England as soon as I can," I shouted over the loud music so she could hear me. 

Luckily I was using headphones so I could hear her well. Not to mention that my senses were way better than they were yesterday. Perks of having my wolf awakened in me.

"Ugh that party sounds so great. I wish I listened to my bloody heart and flew down for your birthday. I'm a terrible friend Zoey"

I laughed and shook my head at her statement, and her accent alone made it impossible for me to be upset. I loved hearing her talk.

"You're not a terrible friend. You are one of the two people I consider my best friends. And trust me, I don't go around and just choose who to be close to"

"I know. But I really wished I was there."

"Me too." I sighed just as I spotted Luka.

"Hey Jody, I'll call you back later. Tell everyone that I got their wishes and messages and I'm grateful. But having two parties really slowed down my replying"

"You had two parties?!"

I rolled my eyes at the fact that she only seemed to acknowledge that part, and rushed out a bye before hanging up. I threw the phone in my purse, then rested the headphones on my shoulders. I approached Luka and he smiled at me as I neared him.
