The werewolf "imprints" on Bella's unborn vampire baby later in the series, so fortunately the scales of creepiness end up balanced between Team Edward and Team Jacob.

Casually outting yourself as having read the books.

All of them, sadly. Didn't watch the movies though, I can't re-live the trauma.

But... my younger self regretted it? Look, okay I hated on Twilight before it was cool. Y'all just copycats. I'm going to my room!
