The Beast And The Blessed
"This is Tobias, my mate. Tobias, this is Cyrus, my cousin. He is going to be staying with us for a while."
The lie rolled off my tongue, but I wanted everyone within earshot to hear it. It would explain why a random man was around, and I hoped the relationship would explain how powerful he felt. Male witches, or spell casters as he preferred to call himself, had never existed before. At least, I had never come across one, nor had I read about them. They had always been female, just as Lycans had only ever been males.
Tobias knew I was lying about having a blood relation to Cyrus. He wouldn't be baring his teeth at the spell caster as the lanky man inched back toward me if he didn't.
