 +**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 witches<sup>213</sup>
 +  * 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 family<sup>213</sup>
 +  * 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 it<sup>213</sup>
 +  * 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."<sup>213</sup>
 +  * 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 werewolf<sup>241</sup>
 +
 +**With Charles and Anna**
 +
 +[[Cry Wolf]]
 +  * Mary put out her hand and ended up with a handful of Anna’s hair<sup>175</sup>
 +  * When he first saw her, Charles knew that she was something preternatural—one that used magic<sup>178</sup>
 +  * She'd been avoiding looking Charles in the eyes<sup>180</sup>
 +  * She was no ally of Charles<sup>181</sup>
 +  * 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 making<sup>184</sup>
 +  * Anna was able to break the spell's hold on her by bringing her wolf to the fore<sup>184</sup>
 +  * Anna also shattered the witch's hold on Charles the same way<sup>185</sup>
 +  * She shouldn’t have been able to do that. She made Charles fawn at her feet like a puppy<sup>187</sup>
 +  * Charles was still volatile from his encounter with the witch<sup>216</sup>
 +  * 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 reality<sup>232</sup>
 +  * Wanted Charles' pain and death so that she could collect the power<sup>272</sup>

 +**With the Wolves**
