Amanda’s POV:

A determined look flashed in Jayden’s eyes. “Finding the thief is easy-call the police.”

He paused briefly, then continued, “Everyone’s fingerprints are unique. There have to be prints on this watch. The police can run a match. We’ve only got a few dozen people in our class-it won’t take long to figure out who did it. And since this thing boosts the wolf spirit, the enforcement squad will take it seriously.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. It made sense.

Jennifer pulled out her phone right away. “I’m calling now! No matter who it is, we’re getting to the bottom. of this today.”

Jayden gave her a quick nod before looking my way.

His eyes landed on me, and somehow, that steady look made me feel a little calmer. He walked over, paused for a moment, then lightly patted my shoulder. “Hey, it’s okay. We’ll sort this out.”

His eyes were steady, full of quiet reassurance, and his voice was soft, meant only for me.

I saw the sincerity there and stopped for a moment before saying, a bit formally, “Thanks.”

The enforcement squad showed up quickly. Jennifer gave a sharp, to-the-point rundown of what happened, making sure to mention how the watch boosted the wolf spirit. Then she handed it over. “Please run the prints and find out who took my watch.”

The officer examined it, brows pulling together. “Ms. Sadler, the surface is too smooth, and a bunch of folks have handled it already. The prints are smudged. We might get a few partials, but there’s no way to tell which ones belong to the thief. We can’t make a solid match.”

Jennifer’s expression fell. She looked at Jayden, uncertainty written all over her face. “Then why did you just…”

Watching her so flustered, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Guess Jayden was thinking the same thing I was.

He didn’t bother replying, just gave a small grin and looked around the room. “I’m guessing someone from our class is missing, right? Or maybe she used all that commotion to sneak out.”

His words hit the room like a rock splashing into calm water. Suddenly, everyone started talking at once, counting heads.

“I know who it is-Marissa! She was right here a minute ago, and now she’s gone!” someone yelled. Well, looks like we’ve got at least one person paying attention.

I thought back to the way she’d glared at me earlier-pure malice-and how hard she’d tried to pin everything on me. The chill in my eyes faded a little.

Alice let out a sharp snort. “Idiot. Does she really think running will fix anything? The camp’s locked down. Where’s she gonna go?”

“Marissa is such a bitch, doing something so disgusting.” Jennifer snapped, her face flushing with anger. She balled her fists, jaw tight. “She tried to set Amanda up and steal my watch just to power up her wolf spirit. So gross.”

Clara lost it, too. “She took off ’cause she knows she’s busted and didn’t want the cops checking her prints.”

That’s when it clicked for everyone. They all turned toward me, looking sorry. Jennifer rushed over, guilt written all over her face. “Amanda, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have come at you like that.”

I shook my head, keeping my voice steady. “Don’t worry about it. What matters now is finding Marissa. Officer, can we press charges on her later?”

“Definitely,” the officer said with a nod. “If the proof checks out, you can charge her for stealing a rare wolf spirit device. Given the watch’s value and the item’s special nature, she could face at least a year or two. It’ll go on her pack record, too. After that, life in Howlstead’s gonna be rough for her.”

“This sucks. We’ve got no evidence!” Clara groaned, clearly frustrated. “She took off, and the prints on the watch are trashed. How are we supposed to prove it was her?”
