How to Tame a Demon [BxB]

Ch. 57 - Lets Talk

Zekaj quietly followed down the halls and stairs of his home. His parents and Zekai were in front of him and he knew he could probably slip away.

Quietly slowing down his steps, Zekaj was about to make a move when his father spoke up without even looking back at him.

"If you try to sneak away Zekaj, I will find you and lock you to a chair so you can't leave," Aegon said nonchalantly.

Zekaj knew not to take his father's threats lightly. He has many a time found Zekaj in the city and forced him to come back to the castle. And no ring of hell was safe from his father's wrath.

Aegon was a large man. Standing at 6'5", the same height as Zekaj, and with muscles that threatened to burst out of any clothing, no demon in all of hell could even rival his strength. Zekaj and Zekai got their looks from their father definitely, all three resembled each other strongly.

Zekaj and his father had the same darker colored gray skin while their mother was lighter. Zekai himself was in between the two shade-wise but leaned more towards his brother and father.

Caroline was a woman who held herself to a high standard. Standing at 6'feet exactly, she wasn't as muscular as the men in her life but could easily whoop any of their asses using magic.

They had made it back to the dining hall where the contents of Hunter's backpack were laying on the table.

"You went through his stuff?" Zekaj growled.

"We need to figure out how he got here Zekaj, we can't wait for him to wake up, we need to be on top of things. If there is a portal somewhere we need to know about it before it gets into the wrong hands." Aegon said sternly.

"I don't care about that shit! You invaded his privacy!"

"We didn't invade his privacy, his stuff was in our home."

"This is his home too!" Zekaj growled at his father.

"You two stop it now. Zekaj most of what Hunter brought he was wearing. And Aegon, yes we should've waited for Zekaj." Caroline said to her son and husband.

"You will apologize to Hunter when he wakes up," Zekaj demanded. His father rolled his eyes, replying with a simple whatever.

"I do have a question," Zekai said.

"What?" Zekaj said sternly.

"Why are there so many Polaroids of you flexing in a mirror?" Zekai held them up and all were promptly snatched by Zekaj.

"Those were for Hunter!" Zekaj yelled. Zekai chuckled in response.

Zekaj shoved them in his shirt and sat at the grand dining table. Zekai sat right next to him and his parents sat opposite of them.

"The item of most interest is this," Aegon pushed the silver-bound book towards Zekaj who quickly picked it up in his hands. "Do you recognize it?"

"We found it at the institute, but it was locked...". Zekaj felt the cover of the book and slowly opened it.

The first page had simple writing on it. This spellbook belongs to: Merlin

Zekaj turned the next page and saw all of the intricate spells as he continued flipping before looking back up at his parents.

"As you can see it's all blank," Caroline said.

"Blank? There's a whole bunch of writing in it,". Zekaj said, closing the book and shoving it towards Zekai.

His brother opened the book and he saw nothing as well. Zekaj turned it over, showing the empty book to his brother who eyed the writing up and down the pages.
