My theory: Xaden is the ex we don’t know the name of. Xaden’s family had always been infantry, hence why all she remembers is an infantry cadet. Xaden was most likely being raised to be infantry; he became a rider after being forced into the quadrant due to the punishments from the rebellion. Violet/Xaden were together but to save her daughter from any cruel fate they agreed to allow her memory to be erased instead due to her mothers status. Hence why she knew Violet was safest with Xaden, she knew he’d protect her at all costs.

He also tells her at one point that he's been here longer than she knows and he's also always trying to get her to ask the "right" questions which leads me to believe she told him not to tell her stuff unless she asks

And the fact that her mom made a deal with Xaden to keep her safe and not Dain, meaning she trusts him more with her, really does support this theory.

And he at one point says "I've been yours far longer than you could ever imagine" 🤔

Both of their parents being who they are makes me think it’s very plausible the met as children. I saw that theory somewhere and I really like it. I like the idea that xaden remembers a young violet maybe even playing with a young Dain and violet doesn’t remember

he is the boyfriend she doesn't talk about!!! I believe she can't remember him due to her memory being wiped.

I read a theory somewhere that xaden and violet are reincarnations and Xaden has memories of his past life while violet doesn’t. Xaden is devoted to Malik, violet to Dunne. But Malik also wants violet and Xaden is basically Malik’s incarnation.

I think Xaden is the other boyfriend we have yet to find out the name of. Imogen wiped her memory of it to keep everything safe if she got interrogated like she did by varrish.

I’m convinced this girl just keeps getting her memories erased. That or keeps bumping her head and forgetting

I too think that they’ve met before! They’re always emphasizing that Violet is so smart. Xaden even tells her she’s smarter than him but we only see a couple of real situations where she’s being clever and tactical. A part of me feels like she’s been involved with everything before she even entered into the college. She would have had at least 2-3 years of Imogen being able to wipe her mind before she crossed the parapet.

what if the reason mira says to stay away from him is because violet and xaden have a history that she doesn’t remember (a history that happened before conscription day) and mira was worried about what would happen if she didn’t steer clear of xaden

For some reason my gut is telling me they knew each other as kids. He’s the son of Royalty her mom’s a higher up officer. Meeting at parties or even her mom working with his dad doesn’t seem too far fetched to me. Idk something is wonky with it to me as well.

All these theories.. I’m impressed by how some people’s minds work. I just read the book 😂

Yes!! I’m a full believer that they fell in love too fast! So something must have happened before!!

okay, hear me out: xaden and violet meet each other when they were kids/younger, but the revolution came and she forgot about him or she experienced some kind of trauma and her brain forgot about xaden. that’s kind of explains brennan and xaden knowing each other and trust each other in the revolution all the time. so that’s why he says he was hers long before she could imagine. and that’s why lilith ask for he’s help, not just because of the marked ones, but because they have a history too. and that why he keeps saying to violet to ask the “right” questions, i think something happened in the past and he can’t say it unless she asked. and that’s also explains the other ex she has but we don’t know nothing about it, because she’s not a reliable narrator!!!

✨Bbkells444💫 :
Hmm I don’t know if the theory holds up about Xaden and Violet knowing each other before her Paraphet crossing — because if you read the bonus chapters with Xadens POV he acts surprised about his feelings for her. Almost as if he unexpectedly started crushing on her that day of the crossing and it intensifies until Threshing.

I need someone to make a Google doc of everything that’s already been mentioned/hinted at in the books cause I always see something I missed despite re-reading it multiple times 🤣

Xaden is a third year... Violet has been around the school for years... there is no way that Vi didn't know who Xaden was prior. Imogen likely wiped Vi's memory... a LOT... including before parapet

I feel this way about Mira telling violet to “find Dain Aetos.” Like if they are best friends since childhood why tf are we using last names and why wouldn’t violet just do that automatically anyways??

Emilee :
Wait wouldn't it be amazing if the book coming out in September is Xaden and Violets backstory? Xaden being in love with Violet and having Imogen wipe her mind to not involve her and get her interrogated. It would make sense too because the books are being transcribed by Jesinia so until Violet becomes aware of the fact that Imogen wiped her mind and wants to know what she has forgotten, she wouldn't have known there were memories before.

I always read it as the first moment he really SAW her, like who she was, not literally first sight.

in his POV when Dain kisses her he says something like “my violence” and I was like damn that’s possessive for how short their acquaintance would have been
