CHAPTER 15

Nearly two weeks had gone by with minimal time spent with Niall and Mae was becoming more and more frustrated. Brian continued his pattern of behavior, sexually harassing the various women and girls in the castle, at least until Niall put a stop to it. The problem was every time Niall shut him down, Brian got worse and found a way around him.

Mae knew Niall was at his wits end. He was looking extremely stressed, with dark circles under his eyes and a closed off demeanor. The only time he seemed to brighten was when Mae managed to greet him for a brief moment before Brian showed his ugly face. She knew this couldn’t continue for much longer.

Brian continued to seek her out along with the other women, too, which only served to frustrate Mae more. Niall too, for that matter, since he was the one keeping Brian in check. She watched him doing so with the other women, but there was a bit of extra force when he protected her from the vile man. Unfortunately, that only seemed to make Brian more determined to accost her.

“What’s the matter? Why aren’t you enjoying the day with Niall?” Jen asked, taking a seat next to her at the morning meal.

Mae twisted her spoon in her porridge and sighed. “Because Brian the asshole is making our lives miserable.”

Jen arched a brow. “How so?”

“He won’t leave me alone and any moment Niall and I find to have to ourselves, he somehow manages to interrupt. We haven’t gotten to be alone in ages and I think Niall is about to lose his mind. He’s really stressed out, you can see it on his face.” She frowned as she looked across the room to where he sat across the table from Brian.

Jen followed her gaze and nodded. “Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. I wish Cam would let me kick his ass. Maybe if he got a good ass whopping, he’d stop all this shit.”

Mae couldn’t have agreed more. “Absolutely. However, I do see Cam’s predicament. I mean the guy is a Campbell and kicking his ass could bring about consequences we won’t like. It wouldn’t be good if the clan lost this stronghold because we couldn’t control our tempers with their representative.”

Jen nodded. “A lot of truth in that, but damn I wish I could just punch him in his smarmy face.”

Mae giggled. “Yeah, me too.”

Jen glanced at her and grinned. “How about you come join today’s training session? I’ve got beginner lessons happening, and maybe it will help relieve some of the frustration you’re feeling?”

“Sounds like a good plan. I am supposed to help in the kitchens this afternoon, when is this training?”

“In about an hour. I’ll have you back in the kitchens before you know it.” Jen winked. “By the way, I’m glad you’ve found something to keep you busy around here. I know being here is different than being back in our world and isn’t exactly how you saw your life playing out, but⁠—”

“No, it’s okay.
