Trusting the Untrustworthy: Yoland Sleek’s Battle for Survival in Forged Through Glory

Trust.

A word so simple, yet so impossibly fragile in Yoland "Kitten" Sleek’s world. A battlefield concept, a dangerous gamble, a blade that has cut her too deep, too often. She has learned, through blood and betrayal, that trust is the most volatile element in the universe. Men have failed her before. Sold her out, used her, discarded her like a malfunctioning weapon. And now, she is expected to place her life in the hands of two men—two warriors bound to her by fate, duty, and something far more dangerous: an undeniable connection.

Sergeant Brinks "Watch" Dog, a man built like war itself, forged in the fires of discipline and duty. He demands trust like it’s his birthright, like it should be as natural as breathing. But for Yoland, trust is anything but natural. It is a muscle atrophied by years of betrayal, a reflex trained for survival, not surrender. He watches her, reads her, waiting for the moment she will let her guard down. But Kitten does not drop her guard. Not for any man. Not even for the one who has never once let her fall.

Then there is Jeremy "Sanction" Weaver, a wild card with a past as fractured as her own. He speaks in riddles, fights like a ghost, and carries his own arsenal of wounds, hidden behind a smirk that never quite reaches his haunted eyes. He doesn't demand her trust—he teases it, plays with it, testing the edges like a blade against his fingertips. He knows better than anyone that trust is a currency, and in their world, it is one spent in blood.

But on this mission, trust isn’t optional. It isn’t a luxury she can hoard like stolen credits. Trust is the difference between life and death, between surviving and becoming another casualty in a war that does not care about her pain. Yoland knows this, and yet, the ghosts of her past whisper reminders of what happens when trust is misplaced.

The enemy is watching, waiting for the moment she hesitates, for the second she questions the loyalty of the men at her back. In the cold, merciless darkness of the battlefield, she will have to make a choice—cling to the armor she has spent years forging, or take the leap into the unknown, trusting that for once, just once, the men beside her will not let her fall.

Will Yoland learn to trust, or will the past rip her apart before she ever gets the chance?

Step into the battle. Step into Forged Through Glory. The war for trust has just begun.
