Royal Elite Epilogue (Royal Elite #7) by Rina Kent

Aiden: Shut the fuck up, both of you.

Cole: What happened?

Aiden: She’s spending more time with him than with me.

Xander: That’s bad.

Aiden: And she ignores me when he’s around.

Ronan: May he rest in peace. That is, if you didn’t kill him already.

Aiden: That’s the thing. I can’t kill him.

Xander: Why not? I’d do it in a heartbeat if anyone took up Kim’s time.

Ronan: Who is it? We’ll do it for you. Lars learnt how to hide bodies.

Cole: It’s Eli.

Xander: WHAT? You’re jealous of your own fucking son, King?

Aiden: He takes her time and he’s being a little shit about it, making a face at me behind her back.

Cole: I hate him a little less now.

Aiden: Why the hell do you hate him? What’s wrong with my son?

Cole: The fact that he’s your son. And that he keeps roaming around my Ava like a shadow. I mean it, I’m breaking his legs before he comes near her.

Ronan: I like him, though. If I had a daughter, I’d definitely give her to him. Speaking of which, Xan, you still didn’t change your mind about Cecily for Remi?

Xander: Fuck you, Ron. My Cecily won’t be anyone’s but ours.

Ronan: Your loss, mon ami. There’s Glyn and Ava and they’ll fight over my Rem.

Cole: Leave my daughter out of this or you’ll regret it, Ron.

Levi: Submit a proposition with favourable conditions and I might consider giving Glyn away.

Ronan: Now we’re talking. Let me tell Remi the news. He should be okay with it since I taught him to keep his options open.





Ronan: Who the fuck stole my stash of weed?

Xander: You had a stash of weed and didn’t tell us?

Levi: Why would you think it’s one of us?

Ronan: Because it was there last night when we had Dad Day with the kids while the women went shopping. And by the way, I hate Dad Day. I don’t like Teal alone out there.

Cole: She wasn’t alone, technically.

Aiden: Says the one who was obsessively checking on his wife.

Xander: Says the one who actually took his son and went after his wife.

Levi: Says the one who suggested we all do the same.

Ronan: Bottom line, Dad Day sucks. That’s why I needed the weed. We should do something to stop them from going out alone.

Xander: Nah. Green says they need their alone time away from us and the kids.

Ronan: Away from us?

Levi: Us? As in, ALL OF US?

Xander: I know, right? I didn’t think Kimmy would ever want time away from me.

Aiden: You’re the one everyone needs time away from. And Astor. Nash, too. Levi, sometimes. I’m the only one Elsa doesn’t need time away from.

Cole: Is that why she hid when you went to find her?

Aiden: That’s because she was trying something on and saving it as a surprise. Speak for yourself. Silver hugged Ava and not you.

Cole: It’s the hormones, idiot. She tries to control them in public.

Aiden: Yeah, right.

Xander: *laughing out loud emoji*

Levi: *laughing out loud emoji*

Ronan: *laughing out loud emoji* Now, back to my weed. Who touched it?

Xander: Where did you hide it?

Ronan: Where do you think? Underneath a flower pot. I got the good stuff and hid it from Teal because she doesn’t like its smell in the house. I spent a lot on this stash and got it from overseas. It’s my weekly break.

Cole: What a shame for it to go down the drain.

Ronan: You fucking…

Xander: Uh-oh.

Cole: Remember when you burnt the book that I spent so much time and effort to get from overseas? Well, payback’s a bitch.

Ronan: Connard!

Aiden: As I always say and no one believes me, Cole is a petty little bitch.

The Women’s Group Chat





Kimberly: Can I say that I’m so glad we decided to have our own group chat? The men aren’t the only ones who get that.

Astrid: I had a peek at Levi’s phone by accident the other day and all they do is fight over there.

Silver: Cole says he’s just there because Ronan usually makes a fool out of himself.

Teal: Cole will have me to speak to.

Silver: Oops.

Elsa: And we even have Aurora with us.

Astrid: But Jonathan isn’t with the men in the group chat.

Aurora: Jonathan doesn’t do texting. He only uses emails. He’s a snob that way.

Silver: Imagine if he were there, though. With both Aiden and Levi.

Kimberly: *shivers emoji*

Astrid: We already get that in family dinners. It’s more than enough.

Aurora: Amen to that.

Teal: I think it would be fun.

Elsa: Did you just call that fun?

Teal: Yeah, I mean they’re all part of the same family. It’s even more fun when Jonathan meets Dad and Agnus.

Elsa: More like chaotic.

Aurora: Nah. It’s more than that *winking emoji*

Astrid: What do you mean?

Aurora: Well, now that Jonathan and Ethan are actual friends again, Agnus doesn’t seem to like it.

Elsa: Agnus doesn’t like anyone.

Teal: Hey! That’s not true.

Elsa: Teal, honey, I know Agnus raised you and Knox, but he’s still a psycho.

Teal: He is not. He has a heart underneath it all. You just refuse to see it.

Kimberly: Uh-oh. Ron won’t be happy if he learns you’re defending Agnus.
