My problem with the imprint is that it only serves for romantic relationships. I wish it was more like a way to anchor a wolf to their humanity. Or like the bond between a maker and progeny like in Trueblood or sirebond that the imprintee could release the imprinter from. The imprintee should be just a friend or confidant that helps them through the transition into something supernatural. Help them keep could control but ultimately survive without each other.

If they decide to have relationships after release from the bond of imprinting I would be okay with but this is forced on both sides. As imprinter will always love this imprint and the imprintee will always feel a pull toward the imprinter. No freewill.

Also, if the child imprints were more along the line of magically adopting the child. I read a fanfiction somewhere Leah imprinted on Renesmee but it was a parent/child bond.

I wish a way to break the imprint was in the series as they could try to make the relationships work with the help of magic.
