Beta's Unwanted Wife And The Curse

Chapter 44

NIYA'S POV:-

As Steve cut his steak, his eyes flicked up to mine, "So how was your trip to London?" he asked, his tone polite but laced with a hint of suspicion.

"I had a blast in London! We did so many things, it was amazing. My mother sends her regards to everyone," I replied to Steve's question, forcing a smile that barely concealed my true emotions.

But of course, Steve could see through it. He looked at me intently before turning his gaze towards Liam, as if silently communicating something to him.

As I ate my breakfast, I could feel the burning stares of Cedric and Riya on me. I knew they were judging me, probably thinking I'm a crazy-ass bitch. I just shrugged my shoulders and continued to eat my food, trying my best to ignore them.

"Good morning everyone!" Amanda's sudden arrival interrupted the tense silence at the table, her face beaming with a bright smile.

Louise was quick to compliment her, "Oh damn, Amanda! You're glowing today."

Amanda responded with fake enthusiasm, "Thank you, Lou! You look fabulous as always. I missed you all so much."

I almost rolled my eyes at her fakeness, but managed to keep it together.

Amanda then walked over to Cedric, slowly bending over and capturing his lips in a kiss. I turned my head away to avoid looking, instead glancing over at Steve, who was giving Cedric and Amanda a death stare that could kill.

"Oh boy, someone's going to get a lecture of the year," I thought to myself.

Just as I predicted, Steve cleared his throat, causing Cedric and Amanda to snap out of their daze. Amanda then moved to the chair beside Cedric to have breakfast.

"Eww Uncle Ced, cooties!" Dean made a disgusted face.

"Dean" Riya glared at him with a look that dared him to continue.

"But Mom, girls have cooties!" he grumbled.

"No, boys have cooties!" Nydia folded her arms across her chest in protest.

"No, girls have cooties!" Dean pointed his finger at Nydia.

"No, we don't! Boys have cooties. They don't even brush properly or take baths, and they stink and smell. So you boys have cooties!" Nydia huffed, standing her ground.

As Dean pulled her hair, she yelped and retaliated by pulling his hair. They were now pulling each other's hair and tussling across the table. The two continued to argue and fight. The whole scene was ridiculous, and I couldn't help but shake my head in amusement.

But deep down, I knew that the tension at the table was only going to get worse. Cedric and Amanda's relationship was a ticking time bomb, and I couldn't help but wonder when it was all going to blow up in their faces

Oh boy !!

"Enough both of you" Riya yelled, but the kids weren't stopping.

I looked over at Cedric, accusing him of this chaos, and he glared at me with a look that could kill. Riya and I managed to pull Dean and Nydia away from each other, but they were still going at it.

"Damn these werewolf kids!!" I muttered under my breath, frustrated.

Everyone was enjoying the scene, with Steve looking shocked, Liam biting his fist to contain his laughter, Xander fuming, Cedric wearing a smug expression, and Louise and Amanda trying to help us.

"Slow down there, bestie," Blake walked in with Sam, who had a blush on her face. Blake lifted Dean into his arms and made him sit opposite Nydia to put some distance between them.
