I can't remember the last time I dated a female from my community, and honestly, that's just fine by me. My name is Antoine Leonard Joseph, and I'm a young Black man living in the City of Montreal, Province of Quebec. I was born in 1987 on the island of Haiti, but moved to the Confederation of Canada with my family in 1990. I've lived here ever since. We fled the Republic of Haiti because we were being persecuted by the powers that be simply because of who we are. How is my story different from that of any other immigrant? Well, you see, the thing is I'm a Werewolf. And so are my parents, Robert Joseph and Marie Jeanne Joseph. The island of Haiti, long a haven for the top secret species derisively known as Loup Garou has stopped tolerating our kind and we were targeted for extermination by the Duvalier clan, which ruled the island.
Growing up in the City of Montreal, I tried my best to adjust to life as the son of two worlds. There is a large Haitian presence in Montreal, and I felt right at home. Many of the Werewolf clans from the Caribbean live in metropolitan Montreal. I like Montreal because I feel quite at home there, both as a Haitian Γ©migrΓ© and as someone who is more than human. My good friend Joshua Gordon is a brother from the island of Jamaica. He's half Black and half white, born of a Jamaican father and English mother. He came to beautiful Montreal from his hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, to study at McGill University. As luck would have it, both of his parents were Werewolves, making him one as well. I ran into him on the bus while heading to the University of Montreal, and we became fast friends.
Joshua Gordon was the brother I never had but always wanted. Werewolf families don't have many offspring, compared to humans. It's rare for most of our families to have more than two. For some reason, we produce far more sons than daughters. The humans are always writing lousy horror novels or making dismal movies about us and they're laughable but one thing they get right is the fact that among our species, males outnumber females by a wide margin. I swear my entire species is seventy percent male, even human writers got that fact right. In most movies and novels, the Werewolves shown are men. That makes female Werewolves a rare commodity among our race. If there is one thing that a male Werewolf might fear it's Mating season, but it's also what we live for. Female Werewolves go in heat, and their scent attracts every male Werewolf within a hundred-mile radius. That leads to often deadly fights among us guys as we vie for the attention of the few females of our species which are young and fertile. A lot of male Werewolves die in Mating season.
