LOVED IT!!!!!. I never liked the SM's version. That imprinting was too easily accepted. After one quick arguement w/ bella. Everyone was like, ''ok fine!''. It was digusting, how quickly everyone just let it go. IT made no sense. I couldn't even finish the book after that!. JB had all that negative history, of trying to break up bella's relationship, talking trash about her choices, manipulating her w/ guilt trips, and stealing kisses; that the idea of him moving on to her daughter and starting that trend all over again and or worst, following them around; living in thier homes for all of time, especially w/ that aforementioned history was too much to bear. Especially not w/ his smelly ass.

There was no way that he should've gotten a free pass to join the cullens w/ his history. Him helping out during bella's pregnancy or w/ anything at all, shouldn't have been seen as a debt the cullens needed to payback but rather a payment on all the bullshit drama he was trying to cause. Nobody 'owed' him anything. Truth be told, he didn't do it b/c it was the right thing to do; he never truly did anything b/c it was the right thing to do. He did what he did b/c it would give him the opportunity to be close to bella!. It was another swing at bat for him, a chance to look good in bella's eyes. Seth does things b/c its the right thing to do, but JB never did.  Remember when seth had his arm around bella trying to keep her warm?, how did jb react to seeing that?.... exactly. Even pregnant w/ another mans baby he was possesive over her. So plz stop acting like he was there waving the 'friend' flag. He just wanted hump bella's leg yet again!.

Then Renesmee came into the picture, and imprint or not; that relationship should've never been accepted for any reason. This is what should've happened. He didn't have to die, but he mos def needed to be seperated and sent on his way. Bella's job is to look out for her childs future, not her friends emotional need. Certain things are higher on the priority scale. If Renesmee decides to seek JB out in 10,15 yrs and wants more than friendship, fine but just to throw he at him as an infant and say "here play w/ her and slowly make yourself the only one she cares about'' was beyond ridiculous to read from the original book. Renesmee deserved a choice!.The cullens should've pack up quick,fast, and in a hurry and left box for jake on the stoop, filled w/ tissues and hand lotion.

LOL, OMG, I love your outlook on the whole JB/Bella/Ren mess and I totally agree. I don't think even 1 of my stories has paired JB/Ren and no it will not be happening in my saga either. It's just too weird! I'm a mother myself and I would of kept the guy away from her for as long as I could. Most people complained that I killed JB but I seriously could not think of any other reason to kill off any other wolf and JB had the best reason.

I agree with Jbk... Not trying to bash you AT ALL. I really do love your stories. Just this one... Jake has always been the true Alpha anyway... so it wouldn't be considered betrayal really... and the tribe would recognize the Black over the Uley. KWIM?

The wolves (on instinct) are protectors. I have two young children... and it really didn't disturb me with the imprint. Imprinting doesn't necessarily mean mates. That's what happened when a bunch of teenage wolves and their "imprinted" girlfriends had intense feelings for each other. Hypothetically, if they had been kids, they might have not become mated. There were lots of theories regarding the imprinting, but no one really knew what it was.

I'm Team Switzerland. I love all things Twilight fanfiction.

Sad

I love anything you write, and this was no exception. Excellent.

I've thought about writing a follow up to it. Edward said she could take after him and find a human or take after her mom and find a vampire. Who knows?!

I'm a mother too but the way Stephenie Meyer explained the imprinting made it a beautiful, loving realtionship.  Not some pedophilic nightmare.  I may be Team Edwaerd but even I feel this story is a low blow directed at Jacob.  And the some of your characters are so OCC. Sam thinking he's a god?  Sam is one of the most humble characters who understood the mechanics of imprinting better than anyone.  He would be the last one to kill Jacob over his choice of mate. 

I love your other stories but I can't give this one anything but a serious thumbs down.

The rules of the contest didn't stipulate the  characters had to be just like SM's. Sam didn't attack Jake just because of who he imprinted on, he also saw Jake as a traitor for raising against him and leaving the pack. Even though you didn't like this, I'm glad you still read and reviewed. Just for some peace of mind, this is the only OS/story where I'll kill a main character. I couldn't think of any other story line and something similar was playing in my head since the first time I read BD.
