In the bible it shows that Cain have a wife. Cain was the first of two sons of Adam and Eve, but in the bible it says he has a wife...he's also afraid of people killing him after he killed Abel...but theres no other humans in the world! any thoughts?

I guess this depends on how you want to take the bible. If you want to take literally then she was likely part of his immediate family, like a sister. If you take it a bit less literally, maybe different bits and pieces of the story were combined to make it flow better. Perhaps Cain and Abel weren't exactly Adam and Eve's children, maybe they were descendants who had enough time to separate from other people with a common ancestry. So maybe his wife was a third cousin or something. However it happened or if it even did happen, it's an interesting and perplexing question for sure.

How did he have a wife? Simple.
The Bible says so, and if you question Gods word you shall forever burn in hell!

The bible provides and incomplete story of the first people, focusing only on the men. Cain either took his mother to bed, or Adam and Eve had daughters which weren't mentioned in Genesis and Cain took one of those for his wife.

Interestingly enough, early theologians believed that Cain took Lillith for his wife, who was a demon in Babylonian folklore, who was supposedly Adam's first wife, but didn't obey him so was cast from Eden before Eve was created.
