== [[Anime]]
* In ''[[Dance in the Vampire Bund]]'', Mina's the vampire, Akira is the werewolf, and the Royal Three make up the third party as a whole. There's also the odd triangle between Mina, Akira, and Yuki, who is in love with Akira and has a lot of mutual [[Les Yay]] with Mina.
* Subverted in ''[[wikipedia:Crescent Moon (manga)|CrescentMoon]]''. {{spoiler|The tengu wins the girl.}}
Line 16:
** In actuality, neither sees him as a romantic interest, more as a plaything or underage drinking buddy. Now, how they, especially Reiri, view his mistress Hime on the other hand...
== [[Film]] ==▼
* Played totally straight in the ''Twilight'' series.▼
* Amusingly subverted in ''[[Underworld (film)|Underworld]]''. Vampire Kraven ''thinks'' he's in a love triangle with [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Vampire Assassin]] Selene and the series' [[Unfazed Everyman]], Michael. And the werewolves are trying to turn Michael to their side before she gets a hold of him. He's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|dead wrong]], though, since she thinks he's a power hungry coward. Hell, at that point in the story, she doesn't even have a romantic interest in Michael yet... Kraven is just so narcissistic as to think she's in love with him, and it infuriates him to even consider that she could choose Michael over him.▼
** Of course, she ''does'' eventually fall in love with Michael, ''despite'' him being turned into a werewolf against his will. She even tries mightily to protect him from other vampires and herself (considering she usually kills werewolves on sight). Kraven tries to win her over again (despite having been exposed as a traitor to all vampires) and at this time she literally shoots him down, though she fails to kill him (not for lack of trying). {{spoiler|He dies in the second movie}}.▼
* In ''[[Van Helsing]]'', the title character was in the process of becoming a werewolf when Dracula kidnapped his love interest and tried to seduce her.▼
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Anita Blake]]''. In addition to being a love triangle, the metaphysical bonds formed between the human necromancer, the vampire and the werewolf makes all of them more powerful.
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'': This is, fundamentally, the plot of the series.
Line 28 ⟶ 33:
* The ''[[Mortal Instruments]]'' series has an unusual variation on this. There's a werewolf-vampire-human love triangle—but the ''vampire'' is at the center of it.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==▼

▲== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Young Dracula]]'' is an example of this, because Vlad's mother ran off with a werewolf. In this case, that means a vampire running away from her vampire husband(and children) to a werewolf lover.
* ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' twists this around with [[Our Vampires Are Different|Juliet]] briefly falling into one between [[Official Couple|Justin]] and [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Mason]].
