Hello lovely anonymous, I really like your question and it's very nice of you to drag by. I hope I can answer your question perfectly.

Nik Ryder: Wouldn't want to become a parent, especially with the hard life he had, but who knows how Main Character will change him at the end. If he would be a parent, then a little strict and probably too overprotective. He's afraid if something terrible would happen to his loved ones. But from the inside he can be a softie with a big heart and cares about the ones he's close to. I mean if Elijah can raise a child, so can Nik, right? Plus, the several names he'll give like: cutie-pie, buddy, princess, kiddo,...

Katherine: Also, doesn't want to become a parent with the terrible past she had. Hunting monsters and protecting the world is her job, but she wasn't like this before. Before she became a nighthunter, she had a normal life, was pre-med-student and I assume she wanted to find true love and create her own family. We'll see what could happen after meeting the Main Character. As a parent, she's going to be the one who teaches decipline and how to be strong. Never give up! Be proud! Face the cruel world and reality how it is! But from the inside... family is the most important thing what counts. She will become a better parent than her parents who abandoned her and weren't proud about her new life. She will try to spend more time and worship the family she never had.

Cal Lowell: More likely of wanting to become a parent. A good parent, especially the way he treats and loves his younger brother. For a lonely wolf, family is important to him. He'll be a loving and caring parent who will teach his children some important life lessons, and not the things which the werewolf pack does. Cal will keep his family safe in his tiny and cozy wood house, away from danger and threats.

Vera Reimonenq: Always dreamed of finding true love and create a tiny family. She's loving, caring, friendly and supportive. The only problem will be... The Ancestral Curse of the Reimonenq Touch, which she wants to get rid of. Imagine how much she has to train her children of not touching anything with bare hands, especially when children do whatever they like. Her childhood was hard enough and when she found out that she could kill human beeings... she broke. Aaaaand she has to keep the children away from dangerous grandma Smoke.

🆕️ If you're interested, look this post of mine: "The Ryder Family" (F!MC×Nik Ryder)

Plus, here's a funny scene:

*Child comes running to Nik but falls down from the stairs and gets a few scratches*

Child: *sobs a little*

Nik: *punches the shit out of the stairs*

MC: But--- Why did you do that?

Nik: *screaming at the top of his lungs* IT HAD THE GUTS TO HURT MY BABY!!!

MC: ...

Or imagine this 😂 :

Nik: Can you say Papa? Pa!Pa! C'mon.

Baby: ...

Nik: Try Pa! Pa!

Baby: ...

Nik: *under his breath* well damn.

Baby: Damn!

Nik: Oh no! Don't say that!!

Baby: Damn! Damn! Damn!

MC: WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!

Baby: Papa!

Zoom closer for better quality, for example to find out what each color means. Nik isn't really a fan to receive nicknames but likes to give nicknames to others. Or Nik-names 👀

Thanks for this cute ask, @zoeywades-wife

My Nightbound Love Interest: Nik Ryder

Favorite scenes with Nik: Almost every romantic and hot Nik Ryder scene. I mean, the way Nik speaks, talks, confesses and loves... with full passion makes me so emotional. His words so powerful and hearttouching. And him beeing protective not only as a bodyguard, also as a lover. He's a hot romancer. The way he gets jealous if people tried to impress Main Character. The way he saved and carried Main Character away from danger at end of chapter 1. I liked the scene where Main Character and he faught together, back-against-back with blight-blades on the ghost ship like a team. I just love their dynamic, the way the ghost lady flirted with Nik and made my Main Character so jealous. Later, the way Main Character hides behind Nik's back from the angry ghost was such a cute choice. Then the moment where Main Character saved their own bodyguard from the wolves after the alpha died. Lol, the way Nik made fun of Main Character when they punched a ghost. How stupid of me to punch a ghost?!!!!! Remember when Nik cut his finger for Main Character to locate the bloodwraith, I was like "Nooooooo, poor Nik." Okay, actually it was the part of the spell to spill the caster it's blood when they were in woods with Kristof, trying to find the bloodwraith. But still, the way it must have hurt, the way Nik had to inhalte the smoke to see the creature, the pain, the bleeding, his lungs burning... My poor Nik, he's so strong. Eeeek, and he's so heroic, he once saved the pegasi herd but sadly had to suffer among the evil Blight Brothers gang who pushed him to drink that nasty snake-tequila. He risked his life for a herd of missing pegasi. Isn't that heroic? He likes animals, how cute. When he saw the black cat, he said "Hey, little fella" or something and talked sweetly with the cat, even knowing that the cat won't answer back in human language. How cute!! Even though it was a shapeshifter at the end and not a cute kitty. Nik deserves so much love.

Final batch of poster edits for the final day of @nbappreciationweek featuring Kristin, the Bloodwraith, Elric, Tialo, Elijah, Thomas, Donny, Kristof, Lady Smoke, Octovia, Thalissa, Cassiopeia, and The Fate.

HC? Headcanons of my own Nightbound Main Character (Alex)? Okay, I do have a few:

Alex was born with silver hair and was a natural beauty which is why she had a lot attention. Born with an unnatural hair color? Never got sick or had any health issues? Attractive and beautiful? A brilliant eye sight? Now she knows, that this all has to do with her royal fae blood.

Alex and her mother love eachother but aren't close anymore. Jacqueline wants to see her child beeing successful in life like her, but Alex thinks she's always disappointing her mother.

Alex's mother, Jacqueline is an accountant in Wyoming and her partner (they're not married) a business man who is Alex's adoptive father

Alex's adoptive father treats Alex well and helped Jacqueline to raise her

Alex wants to have a cute pet, but not a snake like her mother does.

Alex doesn't know that there are family secrets, Jacqueline is hiding some things...

Alex was a very shy girl till she met Kristin Jones. Now they're both eneryfilled bombs. She still remaines the calmer one and uses her brain while her friend doesn't care. No one can stop Kristin Jones from flirting with hot boys and havimg great parties.

Alex's hobbies are playing the violine and reading Fantasy Books.

Alex likes unicorns, pegasi, hippogriffs and dragons. She wants to see them herself and ride on them, but a sudden bodyguard doesn't allow her that.

Garrus considers Alex his younger fae sister now that it's been revealed that she's a fae too. Alex always wanted a sibling but Tialo, her half-brother refused her which is why Garrus became the big brother and her best friend. (Also, Garrus started adressing her with respect and title since she's the duke's daughter and Alex doesn't like that.)

Alex wants Nik and Katherine to teach them some cool fighting skills.

Cal once asked her to play violine along his piano play. Plus, Garrus wants to show off his singing and dancing skills.

Vera and Alex became very close friends, but Lady Smoke, Vera's mother tries everything to seperate the two of them. Her daughter is befriended with her enemy?? Since Alex defeated the bloodwraith, one of the most dangerous creatures, earned the Fate's blessings/respect and has lifted into the high class, Lady Smoke secretly got jealous of her.
