When I was going through reddit and I saw someone on the Elriel sub talking about how book 6 is Lucien rejecting the mating bond and getting with Vassa with 7 and 8 being build up to Elriel .
This confronted with the possibility of Elain being the one to reject the bond , it suddenly had to be amicable because it would be "cruel of Elain to reject him outright when Lucien wants her" . Especially because of how he lost Jesminda .
So it's cruel for Elain to do so but it's okay if it's only Lucien . Rather funny how they didn't even think about what Elain lost because of Lucien .
Over here talking about Lucien boy moms who would be upset if Elain rejected the bond . Who cares what a bunch of misogynists think of Elain prioritising her own self over a ab*ser apologist ? .
One last thing , how come Lucien has to be the one to reject it when it has been Elain who has been consistently uncomfortable with the bond ?. I personally don't even care if Vassa thinks she can't have Lucien because of the bond . Elain is more important and Vassa has bigger fish to fry .
