He was seated behind his desk, a heavy, old, mahogany thing that had - supposedly - been in his family for generations. Niko didn’t care all that much about the family history present - he’d built his reputation and little kingdom from the ground up, and the desk was simply the throne from which he reigned. And, of course, that’s why he’d seated himself behind it while his men brought in the girl. Nikolai wasn’t about to lie - he hadn’t been expecting that a rival would offer his own daughter to pay off the debt he owed, but he was certainly intending to take advantage of it. The door opened to admit her, and Nikolai waved off the man that had escorted her easily, leaning back in his chair as he observed her. “So, did you volunteer for this, or did daddy dearest make you walk into the wolves den?” // @darkenedxsights

@wickedlvst​ gets a au starter ft. nikolai

he’s standing at the large panoramic windows that allows his penthouse to over look the city. his city, his own personal little underworld full of crime, sex, violence, and greed. nikolai intends to take in the view a moment longer when he hears the doors come swinging open and the sounds of hushed bickering. “i told you idiots that i did not wish to be disturbed—” the statement is cut short as he turns and sees just who has been dragged into his not so humble abode. 

the mayor’s daughter, his most dogged rival that insists on challenging him at every turn. nikolai would have had the woman taken care of sooner but she’s garnered too much support and killing her now will only make a martyr of the woman. 

“she uh...well she saw us taking care of that problem you sent us to handle and then she demanded we bring her to you when she realized who the boss was.” 

the explanation does little soothe his ire, and it’s clear from the harshness of his gaze on the men present that consequences will be severe for this glaring fuck up of theirs. “leave us, and if the next interruption to my night isn’t of life and death importance i will dispose of you lot myself.” he’s cold as he issues the threat, long legs taking slow strides to bring him a mere foot away from the girl as his dark gaze lingers on the backs of his men as they scurrying away. 

“now, would you care to explain why the mayor’s daughter wished to see me?” his tone isn’t so cold now that they’re alone, but his imposing figure towering over the female more than makes up for it.

Hes been staring at paperwork for far too long - the numbers are starting to blur and shift beneath his eyes, and Nikolai sets the sheet of paper down with a loud groan, leaning back in his chair to rub at his eyes with a heavy sigh. He’d been hoping to get the entire thing squared away that day, so that he didn’t have to worry about it for the rest of the week, but at this rate, all he was going to do was develop a migraine. His head tilted upwards, he doesn’t see the study door start to open - but he does hear the sound of feet against the floor, and it’s almost habit to slide his chair back far enough for Lia to perch on his lap. “Hey there babygirl - I thought you were going to go out shopping with your friends?” That had been another reason he’d been trying to get his work done then - the more he finished, the less he’d have to tear himself away from his daughter later on. // @constcllctions

It’s been a bit since a new soul had joined their little family - or rather, since Niko had lured another person into his web. He’d let some of his most loyal of followers test the girl so far, and she’d been willing, thus far, to do what they asked of her. So now that she’d passed “the first tests to entering their shared space and humanity” it was time for her to be tested by their leader Nikolai - to see if she was the kind of girl that could be invited in. He’s in his bedroom, windows open and breeze blowing softly, as Nikolai stared out at the horizon, sipping at the drink in his hand. // @darkenedxsights

Nikolai sighed, leaning back against the chair he’d settled in as his men pulled out the member that he’d been “visiting” with - one whos faith had been lapsing, who needed particular attention from their beloved leader to be reminded why they were there amongst them. And, now that he was done, Niko hummed slightly to himself, before he stood, a brief word to one of his followers to bring Rory in, giving the blonde a gentle smile as she entered. “Rory, there you are. Please, come, join me - I have to thank you, for taking such wonderful care of the others around you. So thoughtful of you let me know so that I could check in on them.” // @badiiidea
