Cry Wolf

• Little Butterfly¹²²
• Mary Alvarado¹⁷⁷
• Mari²¹³

Cry Wolf

• Slight-boned and fragile-looking. Her dark hair, usually unruly and curly, had been tamed and rolled into a bun, but the severe style only made her look younger¹²²
• Dark-haired and dark-eyed¹²²
• Her features were refined and aristocratic¹²²

Cry Wolf

• Her power amassed around her, different now than it had been when they’d first sent her to her own kind for training. Her magic had been wild and hot, but this power was as dark and cold as her voice had been¹²²
• Stole the bond between Asil and his mate¹⁷³
• Could control werewolves with her magic¹⁸⁷
• Could break into a pack's magic²⁰⁷
• From one of the greatest of the witch families²¹⁴
• Their greatest spell; to have guardians on their grounds, great beasts who patrolled and killed for them but never needed food or drink; it was rumoured that they made them from living creatures - they had a menagerie; such powerful spells are never made without blood and death²¹⁴
• Because she is, through Asil, a de facto member of the pack—she might have managed to combine the Marrok’s powers with her own²¹⁸
• Gotten her ability through some kind of binding to a werewolf²²⁹
• Hide-me-spell; Witches could hide in plain sight if they had some sort of hold on you²³⁸
• Was a witch, and had no control of her powers; needed to be trained²⁴²

Asil and the Not-Date

• Had a talent for hiding things in plain sight, making one thing seem like another: a complex magical item appeared to be a piece of costume jewelry, or black magic felt like white²²⁹

Cry Wolf

• staying at that old forest-service cabin²¹⁹

Cry Wolf

• Mariposa’s mother had only just enough power to protect her youngest daughter from the attack of another clan of witches. Her parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and all were dead—and her mother, too²¹³

Cry Wolf

• Claimed to be Search and Rescue; that she and her “hot tempered” partner had an argument and split up for a bit¹⁶³

Cry Wolf

• Dangerous¹⁷⁹

Cry Wolf

• Emotional above all, dancing from anger to sullenness to sunshine with scarcely a breath between¹²²
• She wasn’t observant enough to see Brother Wolf peeking out—either that or she liked a little danger¹⁷⁹
• Mariposa had always rewritten reality to suit her²⁶³
• Always liked to hurt people²⁷²

Cry Wolf

• Clouded objections to force her prey to reluctantly answer questions¹⁸²
• A web of light encasing Charles in sickly strings of yellow and green¹⁸³
• Imprisoning spell; muttered a word and flung it at Anna with a flick of her fingers, leaving Anna unable to move¹⁸⁸
• Could break into the pack’s magic²⁰⁷
• Was making people do things—like kill family pets²¹⁸
• Can control a werewolf who has the protection of a pack²¹⁹
• capable of holding a werewolf for days and torturing it²²⁴
• Hair allowed her to get into your dreams. If you had died there, you’d have died for real²²⁶
• Changing what the senses of others perceived was one of the major powers of the witch²³⁴
• Scried with water to get glimpses into the future²⁵³

Cry Wolf

• Mariposa seemed to have gained immortality upon Sarai’s death¹⁷³
• Has a wolflike dexterity²³⁸
• Has the immortality, the strength, and the speed of a werewolf²⁵⁴
• Had never been been stable, even before she killed Sarai²⁶⁴
• Quite mad²⁶⁹
• Anna killed her by snapping her neck²⁷⁹
• Colin Taggart burned her body and got four pounds of salt to mix with her ashes; the results were brought to Bran's house for disposal²⁹⁰

Cry Wolf

• A woman who was used to batting her eyes at men¹⁸⁰
• Stamped her foot as if she were still a child²⁴³
• Says when skinning something, the pelt is soft and warm, but human skin is so much more horrifying—and more useful afterward²⁴⁵

With Asil and Sarai

Cry Wolf

• Was sixteen years old when she killed Sarai¹²²
• Asil's dreams always got stronger when the witch got too close¹⁷³
• Was raised by Sarai and Asil; came to live with them when she was eight or nine years old²¹³
• Told Asil that the only place she really felt safe was with Sarai and him²¹⁴
• Stole Sarai's immortality as she stole her and Asil's mate bond²¹⁵
• Believed Sarai had made a choice between her and Asil²⁴²
• Tried to poison Sarai twice²⁴³
• Pretended she was Sarai and came to Asil's bed²⁴³
• Fixated on Asil²⁵⁶
• There was something wrong with the girl that Sarai couldn’t fix²⁵⁶
• She was never more to Asil than a stray pet Sarai wanted to take care of²⁵⁷
• Rode her Sarai Guardian like a donkey²⁶⁶
• Tied herself to Sarai's dead wolf²⁶⁹
• Relied on Sarai to protect her so much that she forgot that she could protect herself²⁷⁷

With the Witches

Cry Wolf

• From what Asil knew, Mariposa's mother only had enough power to protect her youngest daughter from the attack of another clan of witches²¹³
• The tinker found the little girl wandering by the burnt remnants of her house and thought Sarai would take her in, as he knew that Sarai wife had done considerable trade with that family²¹³
• The witches guarded their spells from each other, so each family tended to specialize. Mariposa’s family was one of the greatest of the witch families; But she was only a child, and this was their greatest spell. Asil could hardly believe they entrusted her with it²¹³
• Charles about Mariposa: “Asil’s witch has found a way to control a werewolf who has the protection of a pack; I’ve never heard of anything like that—so I don’t think she’s been spreading the word. Thankfully, witches are so jealous of each other. But if she’s the only witch who knows how—we need to keep it that way.”²¹³
• Guardians, they once called such things. A charismatic name for such abominations; Even at the peak of their power, though, Bran had never heard of them making a guardian from a werewolf²⁴¹

With Charles and Anna

Cry Wolf

• Mary put out her hand and ended up with a handful of Anna’s hair¹⁷⁵
• When he first saw her, Charles knew that she was something preternatural—one that used magic¹⁷⁸
• She'd been avoiding looking Charles in the eyes¹⁸⁰
• She was no ally of Charles¹⁸¹
• It would require an effort on the witch’s part to focus on Anna as long as Charles was there. An effort Mary Alvarado wasn’t making¹⁸⁴
• Anna was able to break the spell's hold on her by bringing her wolf to the fore¹⁸⁴
• Anna also shattered the witch's hold on Charles the same way¹⁸⁵
• She shouldn’t have been able to do that. She made Charles fawn at her feet like a puppy¹⁸⁷
• Charles was still volatile from his encounter with the witch²¹⁶
• The memory of how Asil’s witch had held him obedient to her as if she were his Alpha cut through his self-confidence with a large dollop of reality²³²
• Wanted Charles' pain and death so that she could collect the power²⁷²

With the Wolves

Cry Wolf

• Was able to call Bran like a a well-trained pet²³⁸
• The control she asserted over Bran had to be won by blood and flesh using the bonding through Asil that Bran had done to his own pack²³⁹
• Knows about the Marrok; was never able to find a photo of him²⁶⁴
• She tried to goad Bran²⁶⁵
• She figured out who Bran was and took his free will from him like a puppet master attaching strings to his marionette²⁶⁸
• It's a pattern with her to take over a pack; the wolves eventually die; fade until there is nothing left of them²⁷²
• Bran, Marrok, Alpha of the Marrok, slay me your son, Charles²⁷⁷
• Walter was killed taking the spell meant for Anna²⁷⁹
