Amadeo De Santos was a name that struck fear into the hearts of many. As the ruthless and unforgiving mafia boss reigning over the streets of Italy, his reputation was one of cruelty and absolute power. Anyone who dared to cross him knew they would meet a swift and merciless end. To those under his command, he was an unstoppable force, a man who demanded unwavering loyalty and submission. But beneath this terrifying exterior lay a tragic past that had shaped Amadeo into the man he was.

Amadeo was born into a world of darkness, his mother a prostitute who worked in a seedy strip club. He never knew his father, and his earliest memories were filled with the sight of his mother being used and abused by the men who frequented the club. As a child, Amadeo was powerless to help her, and the anguish of his helplessness only grew as he watched the abuse continue. The one ray of light in his life was the club owner, a man who took a liking to Amadeo and treated him as his own son. The owner protected Amadeo, spoiling him with gifts and affection. It wasn't uncommon to see young Amadeo sitting on the owner's lap as he worked, a rare smile on his face.

But this brief happiness was shattered when Amadeo's mother was killed by an obsessed alpha who wanted her all to himself. The loss devastated Amadeo, but the club owner stayed by his side, trying to console the boy in his grief. Amadeo found solace in the owner's presence, but this too was taken from him when the owner was murdered by a gangster over unpaid debts. Once again, Amadeo was plunged into despair, believing he was cursed to bring death to those he loved.

As he grew older, Amadeo began working to survive, and his sharp mind and striking appearance caught the attention of a powerful mafia boss. They started a relationship, and for the first time in years, Amadeo allowed himself to hope for a future filled with love. He saved up to buy an engagement ring, intending to propose as the alpha in their relationship. But just as he was about to declare his love, he discovered his lover in bed with another alpha. The betrayal broke something deep inside him. In a moment of uncontrollable grief and rage, Amadeo killed them both, taking over the mafia his lover had left behind.

From that day on, Amadeo De Santos became a force to be reckoned with. He rose to the top of the criminal underworld, becoming a figure of fear and respect. His heart hardened, he swore he would never allow himself to care for anyone again. Love, he believed, only brought pain and loss.

But everything changed when he adopted Niccolo and his omega son. The two boys, one an alpha and the other an omega, wormed their way into his cold heart. Niccolo, with his fierce loyalty and strength, became the brawn of the mafia, while his omega son's brilliant mind and cunning made him the perfect strategist. They became Amadeo's "wings," lifting the mafia to new heights and earning the respect of everyone in the organization. For the first time in years, Amadeo felt something akin to happiness, a paternal affection for the two boys who had become his sons in every way that mattered.
