YOU DONT HAVE TO READ THIS CHAPTER, YOU CAN SKIP TO THE NEXT BUT TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF MY BOOK I SUGGEST READ THIS CHAPTER
Us shifter's love life is quite different then a human's. Shifter's do what's called imprinting. Only male-shape shifters have imprinted, invariably on a women and regardless of age weather your a adolescent, young adult, or women you will love her.
Unlike her imprinter, the imprintee can choose whether she'll accept him as her 'soul mate' or not. It's however implied that a rejection is highly unlikely, since it is said that it would be very hard to resist the levels of ''commitment, compatibility and adoration''. It has also been noted that the imprintee feels incomplete without the wolf nearby.
But if she does choose someone else over the shape-shifter, he will be in deep emotional pain, though he will still respect her choice. If by any chance an imprintee is killed, the imprinter will never be able to forget or forgive the person responsible for her death. In the case of the killer being another pack member, wither purposefully or by accident, the inevitable result is a fight to the death.
I've already found my mate. Because of the large differences of our ages, were not a couple. Of all my imprinted friends, i am the only one that has to wait the longest for my soul mate to mature. She's 7 years old and i am 18 years old.
Obviously, i am not sexual in love with her yet. Right now it’s more of a friend love. When my mate is old enough, my feelings for her will grow into romantic/sexual love. I am at times very protective, possessive and loving for her but what shape-shifter isn’t of his mate?
I was told if the imprintee is too young to date and may understand when she gets old enough, the imprinter would still not date, since he does not 'see' any other person to do so. It is unknown what effects the imprintee's rejection would have on the imprinter, but it is implied that he would enter an irrational rampage and hurt her by accident.
As long as i am phasing, I will still stop ageing, which means i have internity to wait for my mate to grow mature. But after she does become within age, i have to stop phasing and live a so called 'normal' life with her because if i keep phasing i will never age and always be young while she gets older by the seconds. But i could still phase back into a wolf if i get angry enough, most notably, if i feel like my mate has come to any harm.
As for right now, i am a very intimate friend for her. Meaning my feelings for her will soon change into romantic feelings. (Remember, this may or may not happen yet to the imprintee, but the imprinter will fall in love with his mate. They will not 'see' any other women or man in a romantic way, at all. Their imprintee is all he/she cares about and he/she will love her/him even if those feelings aren’t returned.)
