Russian translation:История одинокого волка.
Explanation:
"Istoryia odinokogo volka". In this case "the lone wolf" has a figurative, poetical meaning as well, while "volk-odinochka" has only the direct, biological sense. The word "Istoryia" (story, history) is wider than "vospominania" (memoires, reminiscences).
Here's the phrase you wanted to be translated:
"А волк одиноко стоял на скале и выл на яркую луну". (A volk odinoko stoyal na skale i vyl na yarkuyu lunu.)

Explanation:
If we speak about your memoirs then the above is the best variant. It catches the eye. I write books myself, so I know something about a good title. By the way we do have some memoirs in Russian titled "Notes of a Grey Wolf". Memoirs of an ex-con.
