Banished to the Dragon's Caldera

I was standing quietly at my mother's funeral, trying not to draw attention, when Drevok, my fated mate and the new Alpha, publicly rejected me. A corrupt shaman had prophesied I was the 'Ash-Bringer,' destined to rot the Kholvas Pack from within. Though I've always been painfully shy, I stubbornly refused to let them near my little brother, Jelam, accepting banishment to the Xelgari Caldera - an inescapable, brutal trial ground. But the moment the caldera's gates locked behind me, a sealed memory unlocked in my mind. I set this up. My past self orchestrated the fake prophecy to get me into this forbidden death-maze, the only place where the lethal environment could force my dormant bloodline to evolve. There’s just one problem: I’m not alone. Rhovgar, a ruthless shifter from a dragon clan extinct for centuries, claims this wasteland as his territory and considers me a trespasser. Now I must survive giant beasts and a fiercely territorial rival who is maddeningly attractive. Meanwhile, Drevok is watching my survival broadcasts, his regret festering as the Zurgoth Assembly prepares to strip his Alpha title. Can I master my new power before Rhovgar decides to incinerate me?
