章 761: Alpha Natalia's special advisor (3) [Bonus chapter]

After Beta Milo from the Silverfur pack came to ask Cornelia to dance (and she rejected him), James' mood became unstable as he was fighting to control his wolf that craved violence.

James was gripping Cornelia's waist to the point of hurting, and she saw that he was on the verge of snapping.
