The Gods have nothing to offer Russ. He does not want gifts, gifts are viewed as weak on Fenris.

He would obviously not worship Tzeentch, Slaanesh would be too much for him, Nurgle is the only possibility for him to be corrupted by disease but by now he would have done so, and Khorne can only offer him battle and power, which is NOT what the Space Wolves, or Russ, wants.

They want to tale tales of their battles, not just have battles. Thats what makes them different (and cooler in my opinion) than World Eaters. With Khorne, he would have no chance to brag about his victories because, as of now, Khorne has gone from being an honourable god to one who just don't like sneaky tactics. And to be gifted with powers would be an insult beyond compare for Russ, not to mention the last most important thing: He is dead-set in the belief of the Wolf Gods (Morkai, The Sunwolf etc) to the point where none of his brothers coudl change his mind. If a normal human can withstand the corruption of Chaos because she trusts in the Emperor, how much can a Primarch withstand when he refuses to see anything else? Not to mention that all Primarchs were tricked into worship other than Lorgar.
