Beta's Unwanted Wife And The Curse

Chapter 52

Amanda, who had been silently watching us, cleared her throat, interrupting our romantic moment. "Um, excuse me, but who is she?" she asked, her lips tightly pressed together.

I felt a knot in my stomach as I realized I had forgotten to introduce my best friend to my girlfriend. I scratched my neck nervously and turned to face Amanda, who was tapping her foot impatiently.

"Emily, meet Amanda, my best friend since childhood," I introduced them.

"Nice to meet you, Amanda. I've heard so much about you from Cedy and Blakey," Emily said, smiling as she extended her hand.

Amanda hesitated for a moment, glancing back and forth between Emily, Blake, and me. Then, she forced a smile and shook Emily's hand.

"And Amanda, this is Emily, my girlfriend," I added, feeling a sense of pride.

Amanda's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure.

"Nice to meet you too," she said before turning to Blake. "I've got to go now. Class is starting soon."

As Amanda turned to leave, I could sense her unease. "Hey, Amanda, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

"I need to go to class now," she replied curtly, rushing towards the building, leaving Blake and me standing there, baffled by her abrupt departure.

[After two weeks]

Blake and I were sweating profusely from our football practice, and as we made our way towards the bleachers, I couldn't help but wonder about Amy's unusual behavior. Blake noticed my unease and asked me about it.

"I have no clue, she has been acting weirdly since the first day," I replied, passing the ball towards Blake, who deftly kicked it.

Blake's next words stunned me. "I don't know if it's true or not, but I think she likes you," he said, and I froze, my mind racing with thoughts.

"That's absurd, you know it Blake," I said, trying to dismiss the notion. But deep down, I couldn't ignore the possibility.

"But it can't be impossible," Blake countered, making me wonder if he was right.

"Even if it's true, we can't be together," I said, my heart heavy. Blake nodded, understanding my predicament.

"I know," he said, his voice gentle.

"I just have to accept that eventually everything between us will come to an end when she finds her mate. And as for me, I need to settle down with someone who doesn't have a mate," I said, resigning myself to fate.

Blake and I reached the locker room, and as we were taking our showers, I couldn't help but think about Emily. "I think Emily is perfect for me, she's the type of girl I like.

And the advantage of being with her is that she's human, so I need not worry about her leaving me when she finds her mate. And to top the cherry, I love her," I said, a smile spreading across my face.

Blake teased me about my blush, and I playfully nudged him with my elbow. Just then, Emily walked towards us, and I felt my heart skip a beat. I pecked her and asked why she was here.
