Now im searching the mountains again so my question is, besides where wolves show up, is there an actual visual item like a large stone or a rune stone? I cant find any pictures of any so thought Id ask fellow players :D

2 Star wolves only spawn at night. Finding at night where you encounter wolves, especially packs of them simply increases the chance you'll have a 2 star spawn with them.

Best suggestion is to make a note of the places you notice them at night, kill any spawns just as night is about it hit(this way spawns respawn at night, then kill off spawns asap at night that dont have 2 starts. It may take you many in game nights or just one. Its RNG.

A later patch supposedly stops them from despawning after starting to tame them.

No supposedly. If you trap them and they eat once from food you drop, they'll not despawn.
