Maybe they left her with them, as they were war-squad together. Or they lacked local Warden.

I doubt that anything has anything to do with territory, they are all in the same group of Wardens of the White Council.  No different from the United States has armed forces stationed all over the world with different local commanders, but in the end they are part of the Armed Forces of the United States.

Dunno really. If one of basic qualities of Winter Lady a big secret. Is it even... possible for it to be a secret. It's like Maiden, Mother, Crone mythology - any wizard with decent knowledge would get it. If so... that's really weird.

Would he still be carrying as much of a grudge as he seems to be if some of the senior wizards had had the "You tried to WHAT? You can't do that!" talk with him after he got brought back to the Edinburgh hospital?

No topic is lied about so much as sex. Did he even tell what he tried to do?

He still could think Molly tricked him.
I mean I'm sure Maeve shredded dozens men in her life just of sheer frustration.

If he didn't at first, whoever is pulling his strings has made sure he does now.

According to Sarissa she did:
Quote
Sarissa rolled her eyes and gave a helpless little lift and fall of her hands. “Maeve, what could I possibly have ruined for you? Did finally moving out of that studio apartment destroy your life? Did getting my nursing degree somehow diminish your power? Did I steal some boyfriend of yours that you accidently left breathing after the first night?”

However Molly isn't Maeve.  However I guess you cannot blame Carlos for guilt by association.  That is if he knew how Maeve really was.

I mean Carlos sort of have a right to be pissed anyway - and apparently Winter Court did nothing to balance this.
Srsly if Lady - Maiden status is suddenly big Winter's secret I'm gonna be very MEH. I know it fantasy series, but it does not sounds like aspect of Mantle you can keep in secret. Not for a long run, not from White Council.

That is very possible because if you can believe the short story, Molly herself didn't know.  She isn't Maeve so she wouldn't have done that deliberately to Carlos just to get a little sex thrill.

Agree, I don't think Carlos knows.
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)
