Well, Jacob is a werewolf or to be exact, a shape-shifter.Once they(shape-shifters,werewolves) begin phasing, a werewolf may "imprint"—a method of finding one's soul-mate—on someone, and will act as a close family member if the imprintee is not yet old enough to be their lover. Jacob imprints on Edward and Bella's daughter Renesmee in Breaking Dawn.
Imprinting occurs when a shapeshifter finds their soul mate. The moment the shapeshifter sees the one they are destined to be with, they imprint. It is described as having every connection with everything else severed and instead being only connected to this earth for the other person. After that, nobody else matters because you are only there for your other half, your soul mate.
If an imprinted person is killed by someone, the wolf who imprinted on them can never forgive the killer. If the killer happens to be another wolf from the pack, the wolves would have no choice but to fight to the death. For this reason, the most important law among the La Push shape-shifter pack is that no wolf may kill the object of a fellow wolf's imprinting.
It is unknown what would happen if a wolf was rejected by their imprinted one.
There are stages to imprinting, especially if the person on who the shapeshifter has imprinted is young.
If the person is young, the shapeshifter will act as an older sibling.
As the person gets older, the shapeshifter will also come to be their friend.
When the person is old enough, the shapeshifter's feelings are suspected to grow into romantic love, but this hasn't been comfirmed.
If the shapeshifter imprints on a person around their age, their feelings are immediately romantic.
