several
levels."
    "Calculated risk nothing. It was the kind of
crazy, thoughtless thing I usually expect out of James, not
you."
    Isaac opened his mouth to respond, but Alec
took advantage of the distraction to pull the sword free. The rush
of blood nearly made me physically ill, but it was Isaac's scream
that pulled most brutally at me. For a second I thought Isaac would
go berserk, but instead he collapsed down onto all fours and then
melted back into human form.
    Alec ripped two chunks of cloth from one of the
dead vampires' attire and then pulled me over to Isaac's
unconscious, barely-breathing form.
    "Hold this and this here and here.
If we can staunch the bleeding slightly he'll be okay. Shifting
forms will have repaired any really major vascular
damage."
    Once Alec was satisfied that I was going to
keep pressure on the wounds he sent the rest of the pack forward to
get Rachel and the vehicles. When James protested the order for
Dom, who was obviously limping, to accompany the rest of them, Alec
backhanded him into a building without even bothering to change
forms.
    "This is not a democracy. Dom will be fine.
Just go."
    Alec waited a couple of minutes after everyone
else had left and then turned back to Isaac and me.
    "I know you're having a hard time, Jess. It's
hard on Isaac too; he just doesn't show it as much. Once upon a
time you understood that. I get that things have changed, that
we're all just strangers to you. Believe it or not, Isaac gets it
as well."
    I opened my mouth, not sure what I was going to
say, but Alec shook his head and kept talking.
    "There are things however that
haven't changed. The most important one where you're concerned is
that Isaac is still willing to run crazy risks to try and protect
you. It's easy for people to say all kinds of things, but that's
not Isaac. If you watch what he does, that speaks volumes and has
since the two of you were little."

    Acknowledgments:
    As always, thanks needs to go out to
everyone that continues to provide support in dozens of different
ways. When an author chooses to go the indie route, it means they
absolutely rely on their fans to get the word out, and I'm very
appreciative everyone that blogs, reviews, or otherwise helps put
these stories and novels on the map.
    Additional thanks need expressed to
Obsidian Dawn, www.obsidiandawn.com, for brushes used in the
creation of the cover for Intrusion.
    As always, none of this would be
possible without my wife Katie, who puts up with long hours from me
while she does heroic work on the editing and covers.
    About the Author:
    Dean started reading seriously in
the second grade due to a competition, and has spent most of the
subsequent three decades lost in other people's worlds. After
reading several local libraries more or less dry of sci-fi and
fantasy, he started spending more time wandering around worlds of
his own creation to avoid the boredom of the 'real'
world.
    Things worsened, or improved
depending on your point of view, when he first started
experimenting with writing while finishing up his accounting
degree. These days Dean has a wonderful wife and daughter to keep
him rather more grounded, but the idea of bringing others along
with him as he meets interesting new people in universes nobody
else has ever seen tends to drag him back to his computer on a
fairly regular basis.
