So what you're saying is, hypothetically speaking, they could go just with another shapeshifter just like the werewolf (human - wolf shapeshifter) or hte kanima (human - lizzard shapeshifter) but this time a human - bat shapeshifter. I could live with that. One way to make peace with vampire lovers also would be to take a bit the road Anne Rice took. In one of her books it is mentioned by one of the vampires that there are other immortals and supernatural creatures out there but they just stay out of each other's way. The only contact was just briefly looking at one another just letting each other know they are aware of the other's existence and that was it. In simpler words, it could be mentioned in Teen Wolf, in an appropriate context of course, that there is some kind of vampire but they just completely avoid werewolf turfs (like Beacons Hill) and werewolves avoid vampire turfs. This way you would never have to show them or mention them again and in the same time leave a little mistery open.

Obviously this is all hypothetical (they may never even mention Vampires) but yeah a bat-version of a werewolf/kanima would be called a "vampire" in the Teen Wolf universe. I like your other "turf" idea as well, it won't complicate things.
