I agree completely, but something is very suspicious with the scene in Hybern - Lucien and Tamlin right after Elaine goes into the cauldron to be exact. All eyes were on Feyra and Rhys, and not many paid attention to the two males, and the wording, what if what we were told was actually not what happened and who approached Elaine and the only one that knows the real story was Rhys? I'm being cryptic and theorizing too much... A creator on Tiktok mentioned a white light coming from Tamlin - what if he shapeshifters or switched places with Lucien? What is he is the actual mate of Elaine's, and that's the reason she wasn't able to feel the bond at the library? I'm going to re-read the scene for to 100th time... Let's see if it's going to be Lucien's mate of if he's going to find himself someone that will love him unconditionally, because who doesn't deserve that?;
