That's not how I read the rules on that page.
"This may occur when the defenders were expecting trouble... or when each party surprised the other! The GM should require each side to roll for initiative." [Basic 393]
As I read the rules, you should roll in both cases, which is what OP did. I don't know how SJGames justify this outcome though, but I hope it came up before the game went to publication.
In regards to dire wolves, I must say that my dire wolf template does have combat reflexes on it.
