[CASSIAN POV]
There was no other good explanation for everything that had happened. My body was no longer acting like my own. Instead, it answered the beck and call of the evil siren who had already captured my two brothers under her spell.
She poisoned me. I wouldn't have lost control of my own body otherwise.
I gritted my teeth and looked down at the infernal tent in my pants, reminding myself that this was only happening because of the fact that I was poisoned.
That's right. Violet was right. Maybe Briar had poisoned Rowan and Soren previously, and then she cured them with her feminine charms. That would perfectly explain why they were running around her like headless chickens, desperate for even a small morsel of attention. Now, she had poisoned me as well, and my body was merely reacting as a result of it.
I gritted my teeth, my mind filled with hatred for Briar. I never thought that she would stoop so low so as to get her revenge on us.
