Looking for a good werewolf or vampire novel.

Searched everywhere, but I’ve only been left with shitty romance and alpha males. Are there any good books that involve these species with genuine world building and good concepts, little to no romance, and ideally a male protagonist? Love the “mc has to grapple w/ urges/new identity” idea when turned but it almost always becomes overly explicit. Just want that good gritty take on classic fantasy creatures without horrifically cringe writing
