Big Flight — Zenina Masters

Molly has lived as a king vulture amongst condors. Her family considers her animal a profound disappointment and has ignored her until she finally decides that she has a right to a life and she wants it.

When she is at the Crossroads, she notices the man sent to reclaim her, and while she knows he is in charge of her clan, she isn't quite sure what he is.

After they acknowledge mutual attraction, they spend a night together and have to work on the consequences when they shift for their first big flight together.
