The Shadow Wolves are (or rather were) a chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.
They were listed as being successors of the Imperial Fists but author Aaron Dembski-Bowden, the creator of the chapter, has confirmed that they were meant to represent the concept of loyalist Luna Wolves as a tribute to his wife Katie (who is a fan of the Luna Wolves).
