What is wolf imprinting in the Twilight saga?
When a wolf imprints, the person imprinting (also known as the imprinter) feels an inexplicable attraction towards the person he is imprinting on (also known as the imprinted).
An imprinter feels a strong urge toward the imprintee and he does not have a choice when it comes to choosing the imprintee. In the books, imprinting is done to find a soulmate.
Who can imprint?
It is the Quileute shape-shifters that can imprint on someone else. In the books and the movies, it is shown that the men are the only ones who imprint.
Although it doesn’t clearly state nor deny if female shape-shifters like Leah can imprint, it may be a possibility.
What is the relationship between the imprinter and imprintee?
After imprinting has successfully occurred, the imprintee is the most important individual for the imprinted.
It automatically becomes the imprinter’s duty to protect the imprintee no matter what happens.
The imprinter must give his life if that’s what it takes to safeguard the imprintee from potential harm. The imprintee becomes the top priority in the instant after imprinting.

Sam Uley thinks that imprinting occurs because the imprinter believes he is most likely going to be involved with the imprintee for reproduction purposes.

Does imprinting happen at a certain age?
Imprinting can happen at any time. The age of the imprintee does not matter. It can happen when the imprinter is an adult and the imprintee is a child or when the imprintee is an adult.
Imprinting isn’t in anyone’s control. For example, Jacob Black and Quil Ateara V imprint on children while Paul Lahote, Sam Uley, and Jared Cameron imprinted on young adults.
What happens when the imprinter imprints on a child?
When the imprintee is young, then the imprinter must protect like a sibling and a friend. The imprinter must be there for the imprintee whenever she requires him and needs him.

What happens if the imprintee dies?
The books nor the movies reveal what will happen to the imprinter if the imprintee dies. However, it is likely going to be quite painful for the imprinted.
It isn’t revealed whether the imprinter can imprint someone else post the original imprintee’s death either.
