Chapter 41

Analise guessed Wayne had to be at least 270 years old by now. "I just turned 300 this year," Wayne said with a grin. "But your brother looks really young," Analise said, surprised. Even though she had read about this in the Therian Reproductive Studies book, it still caught her off guard. The book explained that therians aged similarly to humans for the first 30 years. But between the ages of 30 and 230, their appearance barely changed as they remained in their prime. After 240 years old, their aging would begin again, slowly mirroring how humans looked past 30 years old. Their control over mind essence would also start to decline. "Sawyer and I share the same parents, but he was born more than 50 years after me. So of course he looks a lot younger," Wayne explained. Analise had just recently turned of age and didn't yet bear any markings or have children. So, he figured she probably hadn't been taught much about the deeper biology of their kind since she was unmated. Tha
