Commitment is not my thing nor do I want it to be. After the things I’ve been through with women, I have sworn off relationships.

Hank is a thug. He knows he's a thug. He has no problem with that realization. In his view the galaxy has given him a gift: a mutation that allows him to withstand great deals of physical trauma. He puts his abilities to the best use possible and that isn't by being a scientist. Besides, the space station Belvaille doesn't need scientists. It is not, generally, a thinking person's locale. It is the remotest habitation in the entire Colmarian Confederation. There is literally no reason to be there.

I married my high-school sweetheart five years ago.

Everything was gone. I'd found a home here. I'd finally found a place where I belonged. And they'd stolen that from me. Odin may think he was winning, but he couldn't be more wrong. Because he'd made a mistake. He'd left me alive, and I was going to make him pay. Revenge would be mine. And once I was finished, the only blood running through the streets of Asgard would belong to the gods.

We were leaving Earth and traveling to an entirely new realm… Well, new for me. The Dreki realm. Before escaping Louisiana with my mother and meeting my mates, I'd lived trapped like a bird inside a cage of Pastor Malcolm's creation. I was free now.
