All right I get it, but I'm still a little uncertain about how nonchalant they were with the idea of Edward and Bella dying. But your right and I'll say no more.

So Edwards alive after all, I have to admit that I'm relived. And I have to give you props, what you've done was ingenious and opens up so many new questions. Is Alice alive? Did she also escape the room? Is Bella alive? What will Elspeth do to bring back her fathers love for her?

Oh god I should cheesy. Any way I have a question. How does imprinting work? I assume it has something to do with how wolves naturally imprint on powerful people. Although that means that Jacob imprinting on Elspeth had nothing to do with love, because if that's how it works the first non imprint wolf to see her would have imprinted on her.

And the questions about Cody, Can he morph? Can he imprint? Or does his wolf heritage not show up at all? Or was him saying hes the most boring hybrid in the world have some fact to it? I'd be a shame if it was true.

Second paragraph: gotta ask me stuff like that in a private medium or I won't answer, since there exist weird people who don't want to know unless I wrap up the information in a particular sort of package.

Third paragraph: Wolves imprint on people well-suited to pass on their wolf genes. There's nothing about power involved (Pera and Elspeth are the only witch imprints). It's arguable whether imprinting has "anything to do with" love. Certainly Jacob hadn't spoken a word to Elspeth before he imprinted on her and her personality was irrelevant to the process.

Fourth: No, no, he doesn't really have "wolf heritage" because Harry Clearwater got a genetic overhaul when he turned into a vampire, and all things considered I think I'd call Iseul the most boring hybrid in the world, but she's so dull you'll never even have reason to meet her.
