What Does Imprint On Someone Mean In Twilight Novels & Stories

he snaps. She looks at him briefly. “You think I don’t know that?” “I have never marked her,” I point out. I would never make such a mistake. “No,” she agrees. “Not intentionally.” My patience thins. “Explain before I end this conversation.” She doesn’t look away. “Your biology is reacting to hers,” she says. “Whatever is inside her is absorbing traces of you. Your genetic imprint is in her system now. Not just DNA, but something deeper, and something Lycan-specific.”

I sneered at her and added, "Nelly has already scented and imprinted on him, so he is MINE FOREVER." I emphasize the last two words. My mother knows how this is essential to werewolves. If you imprint on someone, it's forever. The bond is similar to a mating bond, where your soul intertwines with your mate....If you imprint on someone and he dies, you will die too. So if Leo dies, I die too. She froze for a moment before blinking and mumbling, "First, reject him. We will find another way out of this. You have to do it quickly before the Stanfords get wind of this. "

Adara asked. “Kiran is the next born Alpha of our pack, and an Alpha doesn’t imprint on anyone but his true mate,” Karani said. “What’s imprinting?” Adara felt like an idiot. She knew nothing about this new life she had been thrust into. “Imprinting only happens to wolves. It’s a gift from the goddess Freyja showing you who you’re really meant to be with. It’s like finding air to breathe, your soul feels drawn to that person and everything in your life changes. That person becomes your universe. It might sound unbelievable now, but you’ll understand everything when you imprint,” Karani said.

“She’s imprinting.” The word sliced through the room. I frowned. “What does that mean?” Silence. Then Kael answered quietly. “It means your wolf is attaching to him emotionally.” My pulse jumped violently. “No.” Silas’s expression became unreadable. Seraphine crossed her arms. “If it progresses unchecked, separation could become physically painful.” I stared at them in horror. “You’re saying I’m being biologically manipulated into loving him?” Silas flinched. Actually flinched. Good.

Was he not supposed to tell me? “What's an imprint?” Junto looks around to room, scanning everybody around us nervously. He has officially confirmed my suspicions. I wasn't supposed to know. “Junto,” I press. He looks back in my direction, but looks anywhere but my face. He stares above my head. “Yeah, it's this thing where one Shifter's spirit recognizes another Shifter's spirit as their soul mate, so they do this kind of bonding thing that unites their spirits.” Why was I not supposed to know that? “And that can only happen at these events?”

It was like I was seeing him in a new light, and I couldn’t help but admire him. It would be better if I did still view him as my brother and someone, I wanted to run my fingers down his back. Shaking my head, I tried to rid myself of the ideas now in my head. Just because he wasn’t my brother, didn’t mean I could start fantasizing about him. It was probably from drinking his blood and how I had felt about it while I did so. I had heard that it was possible to imprint on someone after drinking their blood, which I believed was what was going on with me. I always thought that was solely a vampire thing though.

Stefano replied. Jay became too speechless. Imprinting didn't always work for werewolves. It was a temporary solution for those who couldn't mark their mates upon their first meeting. So, they would resort to imprinting and assert dominance over their mate to acknowledge that they were destined to be mates. If Liam didn't have any destiny laid out for him, that meant he didn't have a mate destined for him. He chose one and imprinted it onto her. Then, everything took a turn from there. Jazmine could have someone else as her mate, but she might not realize it because Liam already imprinted her as his mate.

For example, Trey was supposed to admit the mate thing a few chapters after Twilight’s birthday 22. Twilight and Takumi’s bond was supposed to die after her birthday then she’d confront Trey about his feelings, but I felt like that was too much for one chapter and didn’t make the book flow smoothly 23. Twilight was supposed to mark Trey right after accepting him as her mate, but it was too much for one chapter and was sloppy work 24. Originally, Twilight found out through a check-up that she was pregnant, but that was dumb cuz I mean, she should’ve known from when she couldn’t shift

His voice suddenly turned cautious. My forehead creased when I caught Vincent's doubtful glance on me. "But the relationship that comes from imprinting is just an imitation of a werewolf mate bond, maybe that's why the mark Alex gave you always fades." If I had heard all this yesterday I probably would have agreed too, but I'm pretty sure what I felt last night with Alex wasn't the effect of an imprint imitation relationship. Alex is my true mate. Of course I couldn't say all this to Vincent. "Is this what Balthazar wanted to talk to Alex about just now?" I asked with a sigh. I can imagine how Alex would react if he heard about it.

I could not look away. I had no control over my sight. I did not even realize I had been staring for that long until he spoke. Twice. He had to call me twice to break me out of the trance. When I finally blinked, he was already watching me with that smug little smirk. I blushed. Embarrassed. Caught red handed. Caught drooling, just without the foam. “Good morning,” he said with that same smug grin. “Good morning,” I replied quickly, turning my gaze away.
