That's a major plot hole. Most similar stories, like Nightbreed or X-Men involve the "special" person finding and getting found by their people. The people who are special in the same way that they are. It can be a metaphor for any out-group, whether it's gays or goths or whatever. People feel like outsiders in society sometimes even when they are heteronormative, and the fantasy of being accepted not
despite being different but
because of the differentness is something that has powered everything from Harry Potter to Ministry's
Everyday is Halloween.
But the specific mechanism of getting found by and achieving mutual acceptance between the new Werewolf and the established Werewolf
culture is pretty much completely handwaved. The idea that you might actually discover you were a Werewolf and decide that you
didn't want to go have a drum circle in the woods and hunt deer with your teeth or that you might look at the filthy religious fanatics in the woods with derision rather than trying to ingratiate yourself with their cult wasn't even considered.
Being a Werewolf is basically like White Wolf fandom itself. You find the subculture
somehow, and then you decide to get deeply involved with it, because otherwise
why are you reading this book? And yeah, that's actually pretty dumb. Werewolf is much worse from a design standpoint than Vampire is, even aside from the offensive content.
