Well that's just plain wrong, corax and the raven guard saved the space wolves at the battle of yarrant, where they would have otherwise perished at the hands of horus as russ had suffered serious injuries during a fight with the warmaster (which is going to be expanded upon in the upcoming book, wolfsbane) and the space wolves had decided to fight a last stand in so that they may not die in vain, corax after overcoming serious personal doubt eventually convinces the wolves (and himself) that a last stand is not the way to go and so helps the wolves retreat from yarrant.

Excellent, that's what I'm after. I wasn't aware of what happened at Yarant. So by saving Corax, the Alpha Legion incidentally save the Space Wolves after failing to finish them off themselves!

No problem, and of course that leads to the wolves returning to terra to mop up the rest of the traitors after horus' defeat.
