Zelda Zanders Novels & Stories

His expression was unreadable — not angry, not distant — simply solid, immovable, as if he already knew she needed space to breathe. She bit her lower lip and nodded quietly. Uriel gently guided her toward the exit of the old stone structure. Althea followed, hugging her mother’s journals to her chest and the shard as they stepped outside into the cool forest air. Inside, Candice and Osman stayed where they were. Candice didn’t say anything at first. She only watched Zander, her brows slightly drawn as if she was trying to piece together every reason behind his choices. She was from Velmora, the House of Terravane — proud, disciplined, and no stranger to the harsh rules of their continent.

Gidian roared. "Gidian, stop!" Hazel held on to his palm before he could chomp off its head. "He's just a dwarf," Hazel observed, feeling pity for the tiny fellow. She thought he was cute, too. "Well, I'm a she, you foolish human," she corrected Hazel. "And I don't need your saving. I can save myself. Now let me go you, big dummy," she bit and kicked Zander's knuckles, and from the sensation he let her go, and the dwarf went falling to the ground.

"Zander, isn't this a bit much for a new hire?" Zander reached over and toyed with a calming diffuser on my desk, giving me a reassuring smile. "You're not just 'staff' here, Trista. You're the most important partner the Sheptran Healing Center has. For a high-level specialist, an office like this is just standard procedure." He hit the intercom, and a moment later, a young girl in a light grey lab coat walked in. "This is Zelda," Zander said. "She'll be your assistant healer."

“Hindi, hindi sa personal. Pero...mhmm, ako ang yaya...well, yaya ng isa sa mga kaibigan ni Jyuan, eh...zander." Ang zander ay isang karaniwang pangalan sa mga bata, hindi ba? Maaaring sumumpa si Ellie na nakabangga niya ang hindi bababa sa tatlong batang lalaki na tinatawag na Zander sa kanyang malas na panayam sa paaralan. Lumiwanag ang mukha ng babae. “Zander Torres? Ah talaga? Anong kasiyahan. Ikinatuwa ng kanyang ina ang iyong kakayahan sa pagpapatulog sa kanyang maliit na kasama sa kama sa oras."

How could she answer him? Zander continued to talk to himself, "I know, you'll say we should dote on her! After all, we let her down. Right? So, although I'm unhappy, I don't dare to scold her... We owe our daughter too much. Don't worry. I'll do my best to love her and make it up to her. Don't worry..." While talking, Zander suddenly noticed that his wife's hand seemed to move a little in his hand. Zander suddenly froze, wondering if it was just his illusion! However, when he held his breath and stared at his palm, he saw Celia's hand move again!

Angel whispered in my ear. I burst into laughter. She was so cute when she was talking, I don't know what this guy has done to me but she was getting me enchanted by her eyes and the way she speaks and carries herself around. She was just so different from the other kids. When I look at her, I think I am staring at the reflection of myself, a younger version of me she was like my mirror. “Who is Zander? I have a friend named Zander, he comes around the orphanage and buys lots of toys for me. He is the Beta. My friend is very strong and handsome. This one time he fought those bad rogues who tried to steal from the orphanage*
