Troy Ashton is not gay! He thought his life was all mapped out for him -- he’d get his sotan cape after he turned eighteen, be paired with his female life mate, and be gifted with his superpowers. However, the Council for Sotan Affairs has other plans for Troy. They selected him to be a tuohygan -- the only one of his generation -- and they’ve paired him with a male omega. Troy likes the idea of being a tuohygan: they’re faster, stronger, and have a greater range of superpowers than sotans. Plus he gets to prefix his name with Super. But ... he isn’t gay! So no thank you. The pain of remaining unbonded from his omega is intense, but Troy is determined he won’t give in and marry another man. That is until his and Beck Dolan’s paths cross. Troy literally flies to the rescue when he sees a man falling into a lake. There’s something about him that calls to Troy’s inborn need to protect. Just being around Beck eases something inside of Troy, centering and calming him. Could Troy be not as straight as he thought? Coming out is traumatic. Mostly because Troy’s family already knew or strongly suspected he was gay. He doesn’t understand how they could know but he didn’t. He’s a jock -- captain of both his high school and college football teams, doesn’t that mean he’s straight? He also experiences a few growing pains with his newfound powers, the most visible of which are the dents in Beck’s trashcan when he misjudges his landings when he flies in to rescue his man. Troy soon adapts to his role as both tuohygan and husband. However, Troy grows concerned when Beck starts getting sick to his stomach in the mornings, and what’s with the sudden craving for fish, the smellier the better? Life as SuperTroy is certainly more adventurous than he could ever have imagined.

The Adventures of SuperTroy

“What I can give, I can also take away,” the man said, his words almost drowned out by a loud clap of thunder. The room was briefly illuminated by a flash of lightning.


“No!” Katerina screamed. “You can’t do this to me!” She would have sagged to the floor if Brendan hadn’t been holding her up.


“I already did.” The senior councilman removed his hand and rebuttoned his cuff.


Troy was impressed. The senior councilman had always come across as kindly and avuncular. This was a wholly different side to the man.


“Let her fall,” the senior councilman told Brendan.


He did, and Katerina sank to the floor, her cries of pity interspersed with screams of vitriolic outrage.


“Brendan,” the senior councilman said solemnly, “Would you and Ed remain down here to guard Katerina while Troy, George, and I go back upstairs? I need to call the police, and Troy needs to remove his son from hearing any more of this…” He gestured to Katerina, who had begun banging her fists on the stone floor.
