Alex Volkov — The Wolf of Italy Alex Volkov was a name people whispered rather than spoke. Born into one of the most feared mafia families in Eastern Europe, Alex had inherited the leadership of the Volkov Clan after his father stepped down. Cold, calculating, and fiercely protective of his territory, he was the kind of man who could silence an entire room with a single look. That evening, Alex walked through a quiet Italian street with several of his men after handling another piece of business. His world consisted of money, power, secrets, and dangerous enemies. He had long ago stopped believing in things like innocence or love. Until he saw her. Across the same street walked three university students. The girl in the middle was an international student who had come to Italy on a scholarship. She was studying BS Microbiology, and unlike her friends, Emily and Clara, romance was the last thing on her mind. She had never had a boyfriend. Her studies consumed most of her time, and she was determined to build a successful future for herself. Unfortunately, Emily and Clara had made it their personal mission to change that. “Come on! You can't study all day,” Emily complained. “You need a boyfriend,” Clara added. “At least give someone a chance.” The girl groaned and covered her ears. “Oh, for God's sake! Drop this! I hate this conversation!” She suddenly ran ahead, trying to escape her friends' teasing. She didn't notice the man approaching from the opposite direction. Crash. She nearly stumbled, and Alex immediately reached out to steady her before she could fall. For a moment, everything around him seemed to disappear. His men continued talking behind him, the city moved around them, cars passed in the distance—but Alex heard none of it. He simply stared at her. She looked completely different from everyone in his world. There was no fear in her expression because she didn't even know who he was. Alex Volkov, a man who had spent years believing that emotions were weaknesses, found himself unable to look away. For the first time in his life, something happened that money, power, and violence couldn't control. He fell for her at first sight. And she had absolutely no idea that the stranger she had accidentally collided with was the most dangerous man in the city.

*Scene: The First Encounter
Evening settled over a quiet street in Italy. Warm lights from the cafés spilled onto the pavement while the distant sound of traffic filled the air.
At the end of the street, a black car stood parked near the curb. Alex Volkov stepped out, followed by two of his men. Dressed entirely in black, he looked completely at ease despite the intimidating silence surrounding him.
His men quietly discussed the night's business while Alex walked ahead, checking his watch.
Meanwhile, a short distance away, three university students were walking together.
“Seriously, you need to start dating,” Emily teased.
“Exactly,” Clara added. “You're twenty. You can't spend your whole life buried in microbiology books.”
The girl sighed, already regretting walking with them.
“Please, can we talk about literally anything else?”
Emily laughed.
“Why? Are you embarrassed?”
The teasing continued until the girl finally covered her ears.
“Oh, for God's sake! Drop it! I hate this!”
She suddenly hurried ahead without looking where she was going.
At that exact moment, Alex turned the corner.
Neither of them had time to react.
They collided.
Alex immediately caught her before she could fall, his hands briefly steadying her.
For the first time that evening, the cold expression on his face changed.
His eyes remained fixed on her.
And somewhere beneath all the control and indifference he had built around himself, something unfamiliar stirred.
His men exchanged confused glances.
Alex Volkov had just met the one person capable of making him forget what he was saying.*
