"Okay that's vague..." she scrunched her face up in confusion. "Just listen, long ago before the white man conquered this land there was a tribe that found a babe in the woods one winter night. The babe was not scared or out of place. No, it was nestled in the center of a wolf pack. An expectant mother from the village heard a coo in the night and went searching for the source.

Her first change, it was the day of the full moon, meaning that soon when the moon was high in the sky she would become a wolf for the very first time.

“I wish I could but I am only for acting teacher. I am not your agent or assistant. Without those type of people in your corner it will be a lot harder. Right now everything what you bring forth.

This is a competition shouldn't every competitor have the same privileges as the others.” I was not understanding what was happening. “In theory yes, but again you have people around you that give you a leg up as well. You have to think though....di you piss anyone off when you got here. Everything from the way you talk to someone or address them matters.” This was a new way of making it . As a child I did have

In a year, I became a movie star. She carved out that path for me, saying I was born to be an international icon. Since then, no one could ever stifle my talents anymore. My acting was flawless. She never saw through me. But I'd been a star for so long that I started forgetting who I really was. I wasn't some movie star. I didn't have a tragic backstory. I wasn't the perfect Michael Austin everyone saw. I became a star for a reason. I had my own path to follow.

"Mr. Hawk, I know you're not interested in me, and I don't have any unreasonable expectations. I don't want money, but I want to join Apex Entertainment under your company. I'm in the performing arts, and I want you to give me the resources to make me a star." Stanley glanced at her. "Fine." He agreed. Helping create a star was nothing for him. He had the power to do it easily.

I was a machine used to broaden their already humongous egos. Then, I understood why the guy in heaven didn't give them any children; they were going to treat that child like shit. Once I made it to the big screen at age fifteen, I ran away from home. I changed my name to Starkey, because it suited better. I was a star. November Starkey. I knew all along that I was destined for greater things, I didn’t know what it was exactly, but I was going to find out. I stayed on my own, in my own home with my self-generated wealth for four years.

Luna couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Starlight University was a dream come true for those with awe-inspiring big aspirations, yet this dream was nearly impossible for those of the lower class. Luna only needed her mother to send in her registration form, and instantly, she was enrolled as a student, but things were much different for those of common birth. The only way a person of their status could step foot through the shining doors of Starlight University was if that person was exceptionally gifted or talented, which could earn them a scholarship. A task that only a limited number of people could achieve.

Jake was quiet. “Shit, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to spring it on you. I like to plan and I gave up my dream to become Gamma and now I’m just trying to see what the best way to become a Luna is. It isn’t like there is any training for it, like with Alpha or Beta. I mean, do I go to college or do I continue to spar everyday and I thought if I helped Ari, maybe, -“

This little, beautiful soul was now an orphan. Heavens! I looked away from her, feeling my heart clench with pain. How much would it hurt this little soul to find out that her dad had also become a star tonight? "You know..." I moved my hand down to her small hands and held one. "My own parents are stars too.
