I don’t think Twilight would be complete without the presence of werewolves. This group of guys adds so much to the overall story. I’ve listed my top 5 werewolves in Twilight and the rest of the books. There’s just too many that don’t get added in until later and I had to consider them all! So, if you haven’t finished the entire Twilight series, you may want to skip this list.
5. Sam Uley
Sam was originally with Leah, when she wasn’t turning into a wolf, but later imprinted on her second cousin Emily. He’s the leader of the bunch. I thought that it was sweet how loving and attentive he was to Emily. The marks on her face didn’t deter his infatuation at all, which is so common among humans who are more concerned with looks than with the actual person they are in a relationship with.
4. Quil Ateara
Quil imprinted on Emily’s niece, who is only two years old. Eventually, he and Sam will be somewhat related. I thought it was sweet at how attentive Quil was to Emily, giving her anything she wanted. He, Embry, and Jacob were all very close friends before they started changing into wolves, so it was nice to see them all getting along together again after they all started changing into wolves.
3. Seth Clearwater
Seth is Leah’s younger brother who seems to like the vampires. He is one of the only wolves, besides Jacob, who wants to give the Cullens the benefit of the doubt. I think this trait is what puts him closer to the number one spot on my top 5 list.
2. Leah Clearwater
Leah is the only female wolf in the group, which I think is super cool. I thought that it was an excellent twist in the story, for her to become a wolf. She always loved Sam and was now able to be with him when he was in wolf form. I thought it was a good trade, since he didn’t imprint on her and chose her cousin for a mate instead of her.
1. Jacob Black
Jacob may not be the leader of the entire La Push pack, but he certainly made number 1 on my list of the top 5 wolves. I know it was tough for those who wanted him to imprint on Bella, but at least he can still be close to her by imprinting on Renesmee.
These are just the 5 that I like the best of the group. They are a likeable bunch of werewolves and I’m sure many people will agree with the wolf I have listed in the number one slot. Which are your favorite wolves in the bunch? Why do you think Leah became a werewolf, when it had only been guys in the past?
