---- 17 After dinner, Isabella voluntarily offered to drive me home. The car moved at a leisurely pace as Isabella spoke to me. "Evelyn, the day after tomorrow is my bachelorette party. Since you just returned from abroad and aren't familiar with pack politics, I'll introduce you to my friends. You can also get acquainted with important family members." Seeing that I didn't respond, she continued playing the emotional card. "Evelyn, you've lived abroad for so long. Now that you're back, I have a responsibility to introduce you to our social circle. " "In this generation of the Winters Pack, we only have each other as sisters. You absolutely must make an appearance at my party. Don't worry- I'll protect you." If Winters pack Alpha and Luna hadn't warned me beforehand, I might have actually believed Isabella was a good sister. ---- I knew Isabella had ill intentions, but her words made refusal impossible. "Alright, sister. I'll be there on time." On the day of the bachelorette party, Isabella came early to pick me up. I cautiously sent the party address to Alpha Winters. At the party, Isabella's friends kept urging me to drink. I refused what I could, but finally Isabella personally offered a toast. Unable to refuse any longer, I drained the glass in one go. Soon, I felt my body heating up and my wolf growing weak. Realizing something was wrong, I remembered Sebastian had just texted saying he'd returned to the pack. Thad no other friends. After thinking it over, I sent him the address with a tentative message: "If it's convenient, could you come pick me up?" I stood to leave, but Isabella blocked my way. ---- "Evelyn, where are you going? You're drunk- how could I let you leave alone? I'll take you home to rest." Isabella called over one of her friends. "Dylan, my sister can't handle her alcohol well, and I still need to entertain guests. Could you please take her home to rest?" "Remember to protect my sister and get her home safely." The friend immediately swept me up in his arms, hurrying toward the exit. "Don't worry about my work. I'll absolutely take good care of Miss Winters." Watching the man head in an increasingly remote direction, I fell into deep despair. My body grew weaker and weaker. I wanted to struggle but felt completely limp, unable to summon any strength. I'd been so careful, yet Isabella had been bold enough to attack me so openly.
