However, Prince Eugene was not a womanizer who would pick on any woman, so could it be that he really wanted her as a mate? Thinking about that would make her think to escape the party tonight. … … At night, both of the maids walked down the stairs and into the grand ballroom where all high-ranking members of their pack, their families, some of their friends, and leaders from every other packing were. “That's a lot of people…” Noelle whispered. “It is an important day, Noelle.” Replied the maid “How often would you see the prince turn into the white wolf??” "Guess never.”

Besides, he was an active-duty soldier who had not taken leave yet.

Leia was kidnapped at a very young age, and they had never even met each other. But she suddenly remembered Colin's words, "Some people are just born evil". And then she thought about Leo.
