<b>Shimmerskin</b> and <b>kctjohnson</b>, thanks for your insights. It's all a little clearer now. Your two cents are always golden

I don't think Leah, had imprited on Jacob. He has imprinted on Bella; but she can't reciprocate; because she is niether Quilleute, nor has a genetic werewolf thread. Just like she really doesn't mesh with Edward, unless she changes into a vampire. Thats' just my two cents and I'm sticking to it. e-na

Jacob has not imprinted on Bella, though he really wished. Besides if he had he would have to be what she needs from him, which is just a friend.

I'm in New Moon for the third time now, and I just realized suddenly how much I'd like to read more about Sam. I want to know more about what happened to Emily and his emotional reaction to it, and what it was like going through that transformation all alone. I'm also curious as to why, once they realized that the boys were transforming again, nobody warned them ahead of time!

I agree about the warning. It's not like there aren't signs. sudden growth spurts, boil an egg on his forehead......This could have been an easier transition. Maybe they'll take a page from Bella and plan their transitions.
