An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Cinna, visibly injured from Dustin’s attack, stood before the masked man on the dragon throne.

“Mr. Shaffer, are you hurt?” the masked man asked in a deep, raspy voice.

“Just a scratch won’t kill me,” Cinna replied.

He coughed up blood in between words.

“Looks more than a scratch. Take this medicine.”

The masked man waved his hand and a black tablet shot out.

“Thanks.”

Cinna caught the tablet and swallowed it right away. This medicine from the Dragon Guard was exceptionally rare. It could heal serious injuries really fast, but only high-ranking members got to use it.

“Mr. Rever,” Cinna began, but Reagan raised a hand and interrupted him.

“I’m now Reagan Judd. You can call me Mr. Judd or Sir Judd. The past is best left behind.”

“Yes, Sir Judd.”

Cinna nodded respectfully.
