Could be, but it also could be BRC's suggestion:

The Lunar Chapter was established as one of the five great chapters of Tiltstone, alongside the very well organized All Seeing chapter.

This means that Eve is an anomaly, she has joined a page gang despite her codex having a chapter in the town. That's probably why they call her the "Lone Wolf", she has cut herself off from her chapter for some reason.

My theory as to why!

Her father, when he started to Descend the Librarians promised three weeks before they came to take him away. Presumably, this is because he had three weeks before he entered Stage 2 of Descent, and began to change as a person.
It was also mentioned that they didn't get the three weeks.

Which means either her father became an Abyssal before he should have even entered Stage 2 (highly unlikely without Ink, which seems like it only showed up recently), or her father was taken down early for some reason.
Now, throw in that she calls herself "Eve Smith" instead of "Eve Wolfgang", makes me think she wants to seperate herself from her family or chapter for some reason.

My theory, her father was given three weeks by the librarians before he was taken away, however, some members of the Lunar codex decided that, for whatever reason, they wanted to keep it in the family. Maybe they were worried about him descending before the Librarians came back for him, maybe they were proud, and didn't want the Librarians doing what they felt was their duty. Maybe they felt that he should die while he was still himself, before the Descent started to change his nature.

Either way, the Lunar Codex kills her father, and since it seems like many pages come from families who are pages of the same chapter, Eve's own family may have been involved in his death.

So she changes her name to cut off all ties with the family that killed her father, and she leaves the chapter and joins a Page Gang instead.
