AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SHIPS HELENE AND ELIAS ?

I feel like I always pick the ship that is not going to work out in books. And then I’m devastated! So I think that makes me look for the ship that will work out and try to ship that one so I can avoid the pain! But I really think Elias and Helene would be the better couple. They know each other so well, and love each other. Laia and Elias just feel like Insta love for no logical reason. I’m not finished with the series yet, so maybe it will make sense in the end, but right now halfway through book 3, I just don’t see what those two see in each other. I guess I can see how Laia cares for Elias, because he saved her in a lot of ways. But I don’t know why Elias would give up his beautiful smart, strong best friend for her! Then again, at this point Helene is my favorite character, and I think she deserves better than Elias. She deserves someone who will love her fully, but I think it was a wasted opportunity for the author not to make them the main couple, And it just doesn’t make sense. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I am assuming her love interest will be the brother. I guess that’s somewhat acceptable, and how the author was trying to make up for not making Elias her love interest, but I just want Helen to have a happy ending. It’s probably not Going to happen, is it?(less)
