IIRC, Harry had two wolves guarding him and so did Butter. I think there was also a line about how Harry didn't go out with werewolves shadowing him. I don't remember the number for that one.
It just struck me that the end of BG is very similar to GP. Harry's upset that he's lost his love and it's dangerous for him to go outside. GP was the book where things started to escalate from detective stories to something on a larger scale.

I remember it, so it's not Barnes & Noble.

That happened some time ago, and I am sure she may have known from the beginning. But is she mad at Harry, who was suffering? Or at Kincaid, who happily went along with it for a big payday? Now he is an adult, not a stranger to killing, all he had to do was say, "no" to Harry, and Harry's plans would have been thwarted.

She's a teenager who was hurt/betrayed/abandoned by the two people closest to her simultaneously. Do you really think she's not mad at both of them?
Mira:
Apparently the story takes place right after Changes, when Kincaid get's back from shooting Harry.
Here is what goes down;
--- Quote ---She knew.
“In the chest, Kincaid,” Ivy said.
If you’re shooting at someone, you’ve already decided to kill him. There’s no reason to shoot him anywhere other than the head, if you can. And I can.
She took a step toward me, maybe ninety pounds of furious, tearful eyes and newly-filled-out lips pulled away from a snarl. “In the chest. Or face me.”
I thought about asking her why. But in the end, it didn’t really matter. She had the power to stop me, for good. And she would use it if I didn’t comply. A chest shot might give the wizard time to throw a death curse at me, if he changed his mind.
It was a less risky proposition than going up against the Archive herself, here, now.
I gave her a small bow.
She returned it. Then she stepped aside, so that I could walk to the door.
“I’ll be back in two days,” I said.
“Kincaid,” Ivy said quietly.
I paused at the door.
“He’s my only other friend,” she said.
--- End quote ---
She seems pissed that he shot Harry in the chest and not the head. I guess because Harry wanted to die, and Kincaid agreed to do it, and he didn't go for the sure kill shot. She apparently also knows that Harry still lives because she says "He's my only other friend," not that he was her only other friend.
Bad Alias:
The story takes place during Changes. Ivy tells Kincaid to shoot Dresden in the chest or she'll come for him. She did that so that Harry had a chance. She's mad a Kincaid for taking the contract, and she's probably mad at Harry for offering it.
