Claimed By My Ex-Husband's Enemies

CAMILE

Zane was supposed to be the light at the end of my tunnel. He was the perfect man. He was an alpha who fell in love with an orphan, got her pregnant, married her, and elevated her to the position of a Luna of his pack.

His mother never fully accepted me. She made it clear that she allowed the marriage because I was carrying the next alpha. His people also whispered and wondered why an alpha would marry a nobody like me, but Zane never let any of it get to me. To him, I was his priority, and he made sure to treat me like a Queen.

Then I lost my pregnancy at four months. It was unheard of for a Luna to lose her pregnancy. My mother-in-law blamed my inferior genes. According to her, even if I ended up getting pregnant again, my inferior genes would mess up her grandchildren’s genetics and ruin the alpha line, so she urged her son to use that opportunity to divorce me.

But Zane paid no heed to her. Instead, he supported me through the mental toil of my miscarriage. He always made and brought me the special Lunar Mint Tea every morning and evening. It was a tea he brewed specially for me, and I took a liking to it. He made me go on morning and evening walks. He held my hands all through it and promised I'd get pregnant again very soon.

It didn't happen. My heartbeat remained one, and my stomach remained flat.

The murmurs and snickers started. The venom from my mother-in-law deepened. It was unheard of for a Luna to be childless a year after marriage. If my miscarriage slowed me down, then I should have another baby suckling at my chest in 15 months, but I had nothing to show. She insisted that I wasn't fit to be a Luna and that her son should discard me. She made healers and sorcerers probe at my stomach and mouth. They couldn't tell what was wrong, other than the fact that I might be too weak to carry an alpha's child.

Her bullying became worse. It was obvious that she had no respect for me, and this extended to how the maids and servants treated me as well. It was hell, but Zane never stopped supporting me.

He'd promised me he'd never let me feel alone, and two years into our marriage, Zane returned from war with a baby pup who was barely a month old. He was an abandoned pup who had lost his parents during the war, and he gifted him to me.

“I found an abandoned wolf pup in the last battle we had with the eclipse pack. I adopted him, and he will call my wife 'mother’. Stop saying that she's barren.”

He announced it to the whole pack, in the presence of his mother. I knew that was to shut her up and to show the pack that he doesn’t
