** Mercy scaring the lawyer her and Kyle hired by shifting to her coyote form in front of her. Ms. Ryan, the lawyer, acted so hard and superior toward Mercy which rubbed Mercy the wrong way a bit. The moment Mercy stripped and shifted, Ms. Ryan’s tough exterior drops. This moment also gives us one of Mercy’s best lines
--->"I could smell her fear and it satisfied something deep inside me that had been writhing under her cool, superior expression. I curled my upper lip so she could get a good look at my teeth. I might weigh only thirty or so pounds in my coyote shape, but I was a predator and could have killed a person if I wanted to: I'd killed a werewolf once with nothing but my fangs.”

*** This could also serve as a foreshadowing for Adam. If a few bullies punching Jesse was enough to enrage Adam, imagine what would happen if someone else took it much further. As we see later on.
*** Jesse deserves some love here too. While everyone else in the pack, including Darryl and Ben, was cowering in fear at Adam’s rage, Jesse was trying to hold back her laughter. Jesse didn’t see this as a big deal and even claims she knocked one of the bullies on their ass.
** Mercy outrunning a monster kelpie named Fideal in her coyote form. Mercy ran several miles from a highway to Adam’s house, using only her knowledge of the land and her coyote speed. By the time she reaches Adam’s house, Mercy’s human legs are like jelly.
*** While every other pack member is fighting Fideal in wolf forms, Darryl is just shooting at the monster with a gun.
****and then there’s Peter who charges at the monster with a sword! The sword turned out to be Jesse’s.
*** Mercy running up stairs to check on Jesse is also awesome in a way. Mercy is naked, worn out and bleeding with glass in her back; but she uses all of her willpower to make sure Jesse is safe from the monster.

** At the climax of ''Iron Kissed'', [[spoiler: Mercy beats her rapist's skull in with a crowbar ''while whole-heartedly in love with him'' and while he's magically protected from all enemies. The woman has willpower of diamond.]]
* From ''Silver Borne'':
** The Faerie Queen puts a mind-control spell on her and casually asks "whom do you serve?" Mercy, who between her natural magic-resistance and the pack bonds is really hard to mind control, responds with "Choose this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Since Christianity is one of the reasons the Fae are no longer particularly powerful in their native Europe, referencing it around them at all as mildly rude. This goes a little beyond that.)
** Mary-Jo paying Adam back for betraying him by stepping up to fight a larger and stronger male werewolf so that he would be tired when he came to fight Adam. Adam's gets one immediately afterward, upon winning the fight.
--->"That edge you lost fighting Mary-Jo was what gave me the chance to find a move that would hurt you, instead of kill you. You can thank her later for your life."
** Mercy gets one immediately following that, when Henry (who encouraged the challenge to Adam to weaken him) takes a breath to issue his own challenge to the weakened Adam, and Mercy [[spoiler: shoots him in the throat so he can't talk.]] She then follows that up by backing up Adam as a compassionate but tough leader by say [[spoiler: they were lead and not silver bullets, so he'll heal.]]

It allowed him to take his time winning until he could do it without inflicting lethal damage. Knowing Adam, it's entirely believable.
