There will be no Book 3. There will be some short stories (see the announcement I just posted) but I’m planning for at least most of them to take place in “the past”.
Male half-vampires can reproduce, with half-vampires or “muggles” or with mostly-muggle hybrids.
Werewolves can reproduce without help (although they will not activate without any vampires present). A female werewolf who quits her wolf amounts to a physically-25-year-old “muggle” who will pass on wolfiness to all of her children, and male wolves are obviously capable of siring children with “muggles”, presumed capable of doing so with half-vampires, and demonstrably capable of doing so with non-active wolves. (Two of the currently-active wolves have a child together from before they activated.)
There is no particular reason why a population consisting entirely, or almost entirely, of half-vampires or other degrees of hybrid-ness wouldn’t work.
No. An active female werewolf cannot get pregnant. Sustaining an all-wolf population, however, is possible without people dying of old age if one waits to activate the females until after they have had however many kids; they retain the ability to activate until age 25.

Ah, I hadn’t thought of that. And if you start to run low on venom, then since
it should be possible to safely turn a quit wolf.
