her to leave when she was so upset, was hard, but Sol sensed Hannah was at breaking point. Her confession about her ex had made a lot of things fall into place and he admired her courage. His fists clenched, his nails digging into his palms at the thought of that bastard who had caused her so much pain. If I ever get my hands on him…
    She’d obviously been through hell, had only just gotten free of her shit bag of an ex husband, and now Sol was expecting her to agree to be married to him? Had laid on her the incredible truth about who, and what, he was? No wonder she’d reacted the way she had.
    He’d known telling Hannah the truth had been risky, and her skepticism was not surprising; hell, as he heard himself saying the words he acknowledged how ridiculous it sounded. It wasn’t surprising she thought he was insane.
    He watched her get into a cab before he followed, flagging one down and making his way back to the hotel. His stomach rumbled and he forced himself to go grab some food; he didn’t feel like it, but his body burned through a lot of energy and he needed to eat.
    After he’d finished, Sol went straight to his room. Although everything in him urged him to go to Hannah, he would give her some time. He just hoped what they’d shared last night had been special enough that she would come around.
    For now, though, he had to let his parents know. He reached for the phone and dialed their number. “ Hola? ” Sol felt a small sense of relief at the sound of his father’s accented voice.
    “ Papá, it’s me.”
    “ Dios mío, Sol, where the hell are you? Your mother is going crazy here and you’ll need to start getting ready soon.”
    “That’s what I’m calling about, I can’t mate Anita.”
    “Sol.” His father’s voice was harsh. “We are not having this conversation again. I know you don’t feel that way about her but it’s a good match and besides, this is about the good of the race. You have a responsibility.”
    “No, you don’t understand. I can’t mate with her. I’ve mated someone else.”
    “ What?” Sol held the phone away from his ear at his father’s roar.
    “I met a woman, a human, last night and we mated.”
    “ Mierda. How could you do this, Sol? And with a human!”
    “I didn’t mean to do it but we got really drunk.” Sol cringed as he said the words. It didn’t sound good, but he kept talking. “During the night we went to a wedding chapel and got married, but my shifter side had taken control; we were coherent, rational, and then afterward I marked her.”
    A harsh inhalation of breath, then his father’s shaky voice. “A human wedding is not a mating ceremony.”
    Sol’s voice hardened. “We exchanged vows, made our pledge to each other, and she wears my bite. We are mated.”
    The silence that greeted him went on for painful seconds but then his father gave a weary sigh. “You’re right, you are mated. I suppose I better give everyone the bad news.”
    “I’m really sorry you have to be the one do this. I’ll come and face Anita’s family in a couple of days.”
    “You and your female will have to face them to satisfy everyone that you are really mated,” was his father’s terse reply.
    “I know.” Sol wasn’t going to tell his father that right now ‘his female’ didn’t even want to talk to him.
    “So, what is she like?”
    Sol paused, picturing Hannah in his mind. “Beautiful, sexy, witty. You’ll love her, I know you will.”
    “Well I look forward to meeting her then. Now I need to go and face two females in the middle of mating ceremony fever.”
    Sol winced at that, sorry his father was going to bear the brunt of their anger. “I’m sorry you have to be the one to tell mamá and Anita.”
    His father gave a low chuckle. “It’s just a good thing I heal easily, that’s all I can say. Take care, son.”
    “ Gracias papá . Adios. ” As he hung up, Sol felt as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He knew his father
