Uncle Shax?
Or more precisely, step-uncle—Vivienne's younger brother.
The blood of the woman who made my life a living hell was standing right in front of me.
Behind me, Tessa swallowed hard.
"J-Jin... Do you know him?" her voice trembled, bouncing off the damp cavern walls.
Before I could answer, Shax's eyes drifted past my shoulder. A slow, oily grin spread across his face as he took in Tessa and Scarlet.
"Well..." Shax purred, his voice thick with cruel amusement.
"My only plan was to gut you like a fish, Jin. But who could have thought I'd find such tight little beauties hiding here? The day keep getting better."
Tessa shrank back, her breath hitching. Scarlet let out a low, visceral growl, the metallic shing of her drawing her twin knives ringing through the cave.
Kill?" I asked, my voice terrifyingly calm. I didn't move.
My hands stayed relaxed at my sides, but my fingers slowly curled around the leather grip of my sword.
"You're here to kill me?"
