This will be the first big Whamp shindig (AFAIK) since the debacle at the Raith Deeps... where Skavis and Malvora got most of their top ranks wiped out; they're fringe players now, I think.  The Raiths own the White Court now, until another House gets some of their mid-tier powers older & more puissant (and simply fill out their numbers a bit!  They don't have enough members to implement credible schemes & threats)  IIRC, whamp's can't breed very fast (and terror/despair are hardly the reproduction-enhancing emotions for feeding that lust is!).

I don't think Mab has any grudge against the Raiths; if she did, she likely wouldn't be ordering her Knight to marry a princess of Raith... and that's doing them an honor.

It's very possible that she suspects (or even knows with surety) Nemfected Justine has put some further Outsider-mischief in place among the Raiths, and  that  is her objective (or rather, one of her objectives).

Basil:
My reading of the end of Battleground is that Harry and Lara (and Molly) agreed to the marriage and the year's wait simply as a means of buying time.

I can easily envision a scenario where Harry and/or Lara object given the inability of safely consumating the marriage.  I wonder then if Mab will intervene by making it so that Lara and Harry can have "normal relations." 

After all, the Leansidhe was able to quell Susan's hunger and Mother Winter offered Harry an "unravelling," that could have cleansed Susan.  Since the White's "parasite," seems to be more separate from the host than the Red's "hunger," I imagine it might be easier for Mab to quell it situationally.

I wouldn't say they agreed. Putting it off a year for Harry to mourn was as much a stall tactic as anything.  Molly wasn't happy at all about it, Harry understands where Mab is coming from, but he isn't happy about it either.  I don't even think Lara is happy about it.  I'd have to go back and reread the conversation Harry and Molly had in her limo at the end of the book, but if there is a way out of it, it looks like the two of then are going to try and find it.

I am not saying Mab CAN'T, but Mother Winter is (at least ) an order of magnitude above Mab. She's close to Uriel level. I would not judge what Mab can do by what MW can.

forumghost:
I mean we know from WoJ that Mab can straight-up rip the hunger out of a Wampire (though she'd be to brutal to leave much of the fleshbag part intact) so she could probably put one to sleep yeah.

Though I'm not sure if she'd bother. She might just go:

"I've made it clear to Miss Raith the consequence of her outright eating you Wizard, if you are so weak that you can't handle her taking a little off the top then you're obviously too weak to be of any further use to me. Are you telling me that?"
