Amaris Rejected by Melanie Jaynes

**TW*** Child loss. SA

On a full moon night, a wolf pack discovers an abandoned pup they take to raise, and name her Amaris. Though her wolf never manifests physically, she remains a guiding presence within her. Growing up, Amaris dreams of finding her fated mate and building a family, something she has never had.

Her hopes seem to come true when she meets Devon at a singles event. They share a night of deep connection, but Devon abruptly rejects her to be with his best friend, Jeni, who is pregnant and they are facing pressure to marry. Devon’s father dismisses Amaris as defective due to the absence of her wolf.
As she bravely faces the future, not looking back, Amaris discovers she, too, is pregnant with Devon’s pup. As a single mother raising her daughter alone, Amaris struggles to balance parenthood with her career. She works tirelessly to become a successful doctor and alchemist, ultimately developing cures for two plagues of wolfdom, Rejected Mate Syndrome and Cheating Mate Syndrome. Her professional success and her daughter offer her solace as she moves on, but the past has a way of haunting when least expected.
Years later, Devon reappears, discovering that he and Amaris have a daughter and seeks to reclaim them. He faces challenges as Jeni, who continues to interfere in their lives, sabotages his efforts. Amidst this chaos, Amaris discovers a potential alternative chance at happiness and healing.

“Amaris Rejected” is a moving story of betrayal, resilience, and the search for true love. As Amaris navigates her past and contemplates her future, she must decide whether to trust and forgive past hurts, embrace new possibilities for her future or forge her path independently, while Devon confronts the consequences of his past choices.
