#a specific wip has been tormenting me for months and I'm just trying to wrap my head around my own concept

Why it is that in Urban Fantasy settings, the Vampires are always the ones perfectly accumulated into human society when Werewolves are shoe-horned into secret societies that live in the outskirts of the general population?

I am aware that Vampires have this image of aristocracy and prestige which in turns makes it easier to silence any offending elements that might get in the way.

But is it really so unthinkable for the modern version of "shifting at will" lycanthropy to be able to idk live somewhat peacefully among humanity or even, be somewhat forced when the opposite would be extinction?

There are several countries where the local wolf population has been majorly eradicated or has actually gone extinct. In this case, wolf sightings wouldn't only be suspicious, but they'd be downright impossible to explain (there are so many excuses authorities might make about escaped zoo animals imo). This does depend on whether supernatural creatures are common knowledge or not. Still, if they are, I don't see how human society wouldn't try to regulate lycanthropy and Werewolves so they won't indiscriminately kill people for prey. Like idk some form of domesticating process 🤔
