From A Wheel of Time Wiki

While it is not widely known, wolves are sentient creatures who can communicate through telepathy and form close social bonds with their pack, and occasionally with wolfbrothers, humans who share the gift for communicating with them. When wolves and wolfbrothers communicate they don't talk so much as send sensations and images. Wolfbrothers can use the wolves to track over long distances.

Wolves remember every life they have lived. When a wolf dies it enters the 'wolf dream', which is actually Tel'aran'rhiod. Each wolf is born again into the world in a cycle. If a wolf is killed by a darkhound the cycle is broken.

The wolves are aware of Rand. They call him 'shadow killer' and are in awe of him. Also wolves know of Tarmon Gai'don and refer to it as the 'last hunt'. It is widely believed that Perrin will call the wolves to Tarmon Gai'don.

Wolf names are not simple. Two Moons is actually “a night shrouded pool, smooth as ice in the instant before a breeze stirred, with a tang of autumn in the air, and one moon hanging full in the sky and another reflected perfectly on the water so that it was dificult to tell which was real. and that is cutting it to the bone.” LoC pg. 946.
