Chapter 8 - The Last WolfThe meeting took place inside the old Moretti mansion.
The same house where everything had begun.
The laundry room remained untouched.
The white shirt hung inside a glass case.
The coffee stain was still visible.
Alessandro's father stood beneath the chandelier.
“You gave everything away.”
“Yes.”
“You destroyed your inheritance.”
“I chose my life.”
“You became weak.”
Alessandro smiled.
“No.”
He removed the silver wolf ring.
He placed it on the floor.
“I became free.”
His father raised a gun.
Before he could fire, federal agents surrounded the room.
Alessandro had never intended to kill him.
He had intended to end the cycle.
His father was arrested.
The Moretti empire collapsed completely.
And with it disappeared the name that had frightened New York for decades.
Alessandro walked out of the mansion without looking back.
Outside, Emma waited.
She ran into his arms.
“You came back.”
“I promised.”
She touched his face.
“You happy?”
Alessandro looked at me.
May you like
“Yes.”
For the first time, he meant it.
