Against My Will (formerly Love & War.)

CHAPTER 1 - Never ending sea.

Hi!
This is my first story on Wattpad so please comment on what I could do to make it even better!
I was so excited when I came up with the plot of this story and just had to write down the summary before I forgot.
So please give this book a try, there's a slight chance you might like it :)

"This needs to stop." I said under my breath as I weaved through the body's that had accumulated onto the white floors of the pack hospital, many had taken their last breath and more were well on their way.

As I looked over the crowded and blood stained floors I spotted a small boy in the corner of the hospital. He looked around 5-6 years old and had short brown hair, I approached him slowly, carefully watching were I stepped.

As I got closer to him I noticed he was crying and knelt down to meet his gaze.

"Hey little man, where's your mommy and daddy?" I gave him a reassuring smile and put my hand out to quickly wipe a tear away from his face but he only cried harder and my face turned into a frown at realisation - his mother and father were dead as a result of this dreadful war.

For 10 whole years my pack have been at war with the most powerful pack in the world, the Shadow Darkness Pack, but these past few weeks have definitely been the worst. They have surrounded our pack house, sieging us as their attacks have came in waves, not even stopping at women and sometimes hurting the children. Talk about kicking you while your down.

"Hey, there's no need to cry" I said in a weak voice and started to well up tears, but putting on a brave face, remembering how I felt when my mom died when I was 11.

"B-bu-but they are gwone" The little boy sobbed loudly and his bottom lip trembled.

"My mommy died too when I was little and trust me, everything is going to be okay, and I know your mommy wouldn't want you crying" He looked up at me and gasped.

"Wou're the pwincess!" He looked at me in awe and I gave out a little chuckle "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand?" He pouted and looked deep in thought for a moment or two.

"Wo my bubba lied to me then? He said that wou were the pwettiest, most beautiful girl in all the land and all there will ever be!" He said excitedly which made me smile at how giddy he was.

"Well I'm not a princess as such, I'm Alana, what's your name?" I said with a kind tone. "And where's your brother?" I questioned.

"Alana! That's a pwetty name, my bubba said he'd meet me here when they stopped the fighting. My name is Ben." Fear over clouded my mind, had Ben lost his whole family in a matter of weeks, or even days? I watched him closely.

He lifted his arm up to wipe the last of the tears which had rolled down his face and what I saw made me gasp in horror.

He had a deep gash running from his elbow to just about his wrist, it looked very sore and looked infected. They couldn't even make an exception not to hurt the children, huh?

"U-uh we should get that cleaned up little dude, what do you think?" I gave him worried smile and he then glanced at the gash, touching it lightly and wincing in pain.

"It hurts." Ben whimpered and I couldn't help feeling sorry for him, he shouldn't have been drawn into this war, none of the women and children should have been.

"Come on then I'll patch it up for you." I put my arms out for him to grab onto then I hugged him into my chest. No child should have to see this.

I trained to be a healer for 2 years, and I was about to become one and then the Shadow Darkness Pack changed their tactic and began focusing and attacking hospitals instead of homes and started killing healers, there are much less of them now.
