"So do you want a big wedding or small?" I questioned as I ran my fingers through her hair. She didn't answer for a bit and I didn't really mind as her face was only visible under the light the moon provided.

"Mmm small and that's only cause I would want it up in Canada." She shrugged.

I frowned slightly as I didn't expect the second part of the sentence. I didn't figure her for a big lavish wedding kind of woman so the first part had been obvious to me, "And how are all my family supposed to get there?"

"The same way my family would if we had it in the States somewhere, Corbin."

"We should probably get to the arena" I moved slightly with the intention of standing up but her hand on my thigh stopped me. Her back was to my chest as we sat on the hill I had taken her to so long ago.

"I'm sorry, I just assumed it would be in Canada. But you know you give off the vibe of not caring much about family" she shrugged and leaned back so that she was able to look at me.

"I don't. But I would like to rub it in their faces that I am marrying you." I wasn't exactly lying. I was the chubby kid of the family who had his own demons and hence stayed away from family functions and all that. My brother Dan was the more sociable one between us and I liked that I wasn't obligated to anything. But while I wasn't the best person, loving Renee was probably the best part of me and I wanted to show her off.

She smiled and kissed me briefly, "We can brainstorm some more when we have time, wolf"

"We haven't even gotten our house sorted out" I narrowed my eyes as everything had still not been unpacked yet.

She pouted a bit before slowly tracing her thumb over my stubble as she seemed to think, "We don't have to rush everything. I mean our relationship took awhile, I feel secure just with this ring so personally I don't mind holding off on wedding planning for abit."

"I do though." I mumbled and took her hand off my face and traced my finger over the skull.

"No one is going to steal me away from you"
I rolled my eyes and she shoved my chest to which I chuckled. "I'm serious. But we can see how things go okay?"

I nodded while she stood up and extended her hand which I took but pulled her down onto me. "We have Smackdown and you know I'm already late."

"I know but its a full moon. Let's just stay for five more minutes?"

She agreed and I smiled as she rested her head on my chest. As sickening as it sounded I wouldn't mind if we could lay under the moon for hours. Just two wolves united beneath the full moon...

I saw John talking on the monitor and sighed as I had known I would be working with him tonight much to my annoyance but not so soon. My music blasted just as I quickly changed into my merch tee and frowned as I hadn't cut it so wasn't sure who had done it for me but walked out.

Renee hadn't been the only one that was late, as soon as I had left her I realized they were trying to track me down.

"... I'm sick and tired of people talking about this stupid handshake. Alls I know John, is last week you stuck your nose in my business and John I'm Mr Money in the Bank so this contract means I do what I want when I want. So if you're looking for someone to respect it should be me, not Nakamura." I licked over my lips before continuing my rant, "I am the future and I have no problem making you the past."

I ignored the boos as I had made my way down the ramp and stopped once he spoke. It was the first time I had seen him since the night I had heard him outside the hotel room. That was under Renee's supervision and to be honest I wasn't sure what I would do to him without it.

"And I have no problem telling it like it is. You're a skinny fat, loudmouth, overrated dumpster fire just like that sign says right there" he pointed over to a sign in the crowd and I stared blankly at him having not expected it. Now I understood why quite a few guys were annoyed when going up against him. He never had a script which he liked because that way he caught you offguard.

I ignored the part of my mind that told me he mostly attacked my physicality to make Renee aware. "Now why don't you make your way down here and with all due respect maybe I'll put your ass through another table"

I walked to the end of the ramp before shaking my head with a smile, "why would I do that John? I have this."

I raised my case above my head, " and with this contract. I do what I want when I want like I said"

The crowd filled with "dumpster fire" chants and I held my smirk instead of letting it get to me. I shook my head and made my way up the ramp but heard him speak once again.

"Hey these are nice people I'm sure they meant that in a good way"

"Keep talking John. The fact of the matter is, you have nothing I want and nothing I need. I don't need to beat John Cena, matter of fact you can take your respect and shove it!" I moved backwards up the ramp. "All I need is the WWE Championship, so the matter of fact is you're just not worth my time!"

Apart of me wanted to linger at the gorilla and wait for John to confront him but instead I was currently approaching Renee as she stood talking to one of the officials. Instead of being my usual self and telling him to scram I waited until she noticed me. It didn't take long and she seemed to quickly finish before moving over to me.

"Hey" she frowned and I realized its cause in the hallways I tended to walk past her. I didn't say anything just leaned back onto the wall and she stared around before moving closer to me.

She kissed my neck before holding onto my arms as she stared up at me.

"I saw your segment with John, I'm guessing you were caught off guard." I knew she was referring to the fact that Daniel had interrupted us and put us in a match at Summerslam.

"Well I ain't surprised, it seems that's everyone's intention tonight" I chuckled not hiding the annoyance in my voice as by now there was no point in pretending John was not the one I favoured least on this roster considering he tried to turn her against me.

"I'm also a dumpster fire apparently" I added still slightly annoyed with his comments which led to her sighing and slowly massaging my shoulders.

"You are anything but, Corbin. You're a masterpiece and John's an ass for throwing those insults your way. You're my strong wolf.." Her fingers traced my arms. "My perfectly shaped wolf"

I rolled my eyes but chuckled at her trying to make me feel better, she always did. I never knew how to respond to it, I didn't even have to voice me feeling shit about myself half the time, she just knew. I hated that I did feel inadequate but with such a variety of guys on one roster to compare to it was difficult to stop.

"I love you"

I smiled, "I love you too"

"Of course you do. Come on, give your fiance a kiss"

I smirked and lift her with my free arm so that I didn't have to bend down and kissed her. "Okay now I have work to do, I'll see you later okay?"

I nodded and watched as she moved down the hallway. I was a fucking addict and I knew it, addicted to her love.

※※※

"I don't think I'm keen on this" I heard her as I entered the lounge area.

"Too bad" I shrugged and she narrowed her eyes. "Come on, its just a couple skulls"

"I love how you say that so casually. What if Xander thinks its some sort of play things"

"That's why its so high up. I know its weird but I like these things" I admitted and she turned to me attempting to read me I guess.

"You really do? This isn't some prank" She smiled and I nodded. "Okay then I'm sorry, you can keep these all up"

"This wouldn't be you agreeing to my strange objects so that I can agree to get married in Canada?" I glanced back at her as I placed the last skull on the highest shelf.

"Well I don't know, Corbin" She smirked and I made my way over to her. "It's not. If these things are what you like then I approve. Its our first house together and I just want both of us to be happy."

"I am happy. Are you happy?"

"Well I'm mostly there"

I frowned but she didn't seem upset, instead she bit her lip and held my hands.

I sighed, "and what would make you completely happy?"

"Another dog?" She cringed before peeking up at me.

"I told you after the fifth place you dragged me to that having a puppy right now wouldn't be the best idea. We can barely get done with our house" I sighed as she hadn't hidden the fact that she wanted one. I loved dogs so I wouldn't have minded it but I was trying to be practical about things, we had a house to finish, a wedding to plan and we were on the road constantly. I rolled my eyes at myself as I sounded like Renee.

"That's cause its a big house" she giggled. "I love Xander but..."

"But nothing, you can't play the I need a dog cause he's yours when he practically disowns me whenever you are around" I shook my head but she tugged on my hands and moved closer to me. I stared down at her but all she did was pull my arms around her as she hugged me.

I sighed and stared over at Xander laid out on the couch staring at me. I glared at him to which he rested his head on the arm rest pulling the fucking puppy eyes. Clearly I was being double teamed over here, "Fine."

"Really?" She squealed and pulled back with a bright smile filling her face, even if I were kidding with that look on her face I would have agreed just not to disappoint her.

"You're not even going to try to hide how you tried to make me feel bad, huh Blondie?" I smirked and she shrugged. I narrowed my eyes and tightened my arms around her and lift her off the ground.

"Wolf, we need to get done we only..." She laughed out as I threw her over my shoulder.
"You're insane!"

I entered the room and tossed her onto the bed and immediately kissed her.

Her hands tugged on my hair and I groaned into her lips but felt a weight on my back. I chuckled as Xander nudged me and I rolled my eyes and sat back to allow him to settle down between us. "And you want another dog? When am I going to get to fuck you?"

I narrowed my eyes at Xander who rested his head on her exposed stomach. I placed a kiss on her forehead and pet him before eyeing the box set in the corner and unpacking its contents which were a few lamps and photos for our dressers.

"This house is huge. If there is another dog he will be spending time with her too. A dog will make both of us happy, he needs doggie friends too" she smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"You're marrying me. Just remember that. Me and him but mostly me." I grumbled as I set up a mirror on the wall and felt her arms around me.

"That's too high. I can't see." She mumbled into my side.

"Good. This way while you're hogging the rest I can have this one." I smirked but flinched as she bit my arm. I immediately pulled her in front of me and raised my eyebrow.

"I'm so happy!" She screamed and I was too, life was going pretty good.

Yes I could have done without a couple of thorns in my sides but I had woken up next to a smiling blonde and I was ending the night off with a smiling blonde.

We were in our house, with our dog and making it our home. So I was happy too...
