"We're your parents, Humphrey." Rose and Jack stood together, smiling at Humphrey. Everyone's jaws dropped from surprise. There was a moment of silence.
"Are you serious?" Humphrey asked.
"Why would we lie about something like that?"
"I don't think you're lying. It's just..." tears started to come out of Humphrey's eyes. Tears of joy. He took a step forward, "I haven't seen you since I was a pup."
"It's about time I met your parents..." Kate smiled. Humphrey lowered his head. He knew he was going to get embarrassed any minute now.
"And, you are?" Rose asked, looking at her.
Kate answered, "I'm Humphrey's girlfriend." Humphrey thought, Oh dear lord, here it comes...
"Alright, Humphrey!" His father chuckled, proud of his son. Kate smiled at Jack's comment.
"Thanks dad." Humphrey said with a smile, raising his head a little.
"Wait... What about the pack law; Alphas and Omegas can't be together."
Kate and Humphrey looked at each other and smiled. Humphrey said, "They can now."
"How did that happen?" Rose asked. Lilly and Garth took a spot to lie down, knowing this was going to take a while to explain. They lay down close to each other, the den was a little cold.
Kate began, "Well... it started when we were both shot by tranquilizer darts..."
Lilly and Garth slowly drifted off to sleep as the story continued.
Garth woke up, he had fallen asleep while Kate and Humphrey explained everything to Humphrey's parents. But now, there was nobody around. Where were they? Garth looked around the den, going into the back rooms and finding nobody, except Lilly. She had fallen asleep too and was still sleeping. Garth was a little worried now. What happened, where did everybody go? He looked at Lilly when he heard movement from her.
She mumbled in her sleep, "Swimming...turtle..."
Garth smiled and thought, That's was a new one. I sure hope I get to see it. He thought about how adorable Lilly was when she acted like a turtle. His thoughts trailed off to when she first showed him her turtle impressions.
FLASHBACK
"Oh, I get it. You're a funny Omega." Garth said. Lilly nodded her head, "Mhmm."
"Okay then. Make me laugh."
Lilly walked a short distance away. As she jumped onto her back, she asked, "What am I?" She started moving her legs back and forth.
"Uhhh, you got me."
Lilly looked at him and said, "It's a turtle that fell and can't get up."
"That's pretty good."
Lilly got back up. "Okay... what's this?" She fell onto her stomach, legs spread in all directions, tail lying on the ground, and her tounge sticking out.
"Hmm." Garth was thinking.
"It's turtle roadkill."
Garth chukled a second and asked, "What else can you do?"
"I just do turtles."
"Okay, it's my turn..."
END OF FLASHBACK
Garth chuckled at the memory. He walked back to Lilly and pushed her hair away from her left eye. He thought, You really need something to keep this hair back... His mind went to Kate. She had a purple flower in her hair, behind her ear. This have him an idead. He whispered to Lilly, "I'll be back soon. Stay here."
Lilly mumbled in her sleep, "Okay..."
Garth quietly walked out of the cave. He walked up the hill to his right, where he and the group came from. He looked at the two trees to the left, and then chuckled at the path leading to the top of the cliff. Take the path, or use his Alpha skills to get up faster. He enjoyed the warmth of the sun shining on him after being in the cold den, so he took his time and walked up the path and into the forest. Walking a little further into the forest, he started to see little areas of flowers he hadn't noticed before. None of these were beatiful enough to match up with Lilly. He didn't want to give her a white one, that would blend in with her white fur. He kept moving. Red flowers, roses. They were beautiful he had to admit, but the thorns would definitely not be good.
He walked a little further and found a red spot in the dirt, this area of red was dug into the ground a little, like something had been lying there. Next to this area were some paw prints making a trail to the red. He recognized it as blood. This was where he and Lilly had found Dawn, bleeding after the shot from the hunter. The red wolf kept walking, smiling. He was proud of himself. If he had never made the plan to stop the hunter, they wouldn't have saved Dawn which means Kate wouldn't have found her friend and Humphrey wouldn't have found his parents. His pride made him lose track of how long he was walking. He stopped and looked around to find a small area of flowers. Blue, red, pink, white, yellow, even purple flowers... All together in a mixed assortment of colors. He could choose any color he liked. He started talking to himself, "What would Lilly like... Blue? No... Maybe red, or pink?" He moved a little further down and saw a flower with the combination of red and white. He smiled, it was perfect.
The red wolf took the flower in his mouth and snapped the stem so no dirt would stay on it. With the flower in his mouth, he began his walk back to the den to give it to Lilly. He made his was back to the area of blood and kept walking. He made it back to the cliff and sat at the edge to look at the view. He spotted a group of wolf pups playing by a river. He watched long enough to see a small grey and white wolf push one of its friends, a tan wolf, into the river. He smiled at the sight, and turned to walk down the path. After making his way down the path and down a hill, he finally reached the den. He walked in to see Lilly walking around, looking for anyone, hoping she wasn't forgotten. Garth said, "Hey, Lilly. Miss me?" He sort of mumbled, not wanting to drop the flower. He could still be understood by Lilly though. She turned and looked at him, her head fur hanging down infront of her left eye again. She blew it up onto her head and asked, "Where have you been?"
"I told you I was going to be back soon."
"I don't remember that."
"You were stil asleep, but you answered back like you heard me."
Lilly's head fur fell infront of her left eye again so she blew it back up. It was then that Lilly finally noticed the flower in Garth's mouth. She asked, "What's with the flower?"
Garth mumbled through the flower again, "I got it for you. Your fur keeps getting in your eyes and it seemed to bother you alot. I thought that if you put this flower there, it would keep your fur back."
Lilly's fur fell infront of her eye, but didn't bother to fix it. She moved closer to Garth and took a look at the flower. She smiled, "Red and white... Like us."
She moved her head down and let Garth pus her fur back and put the flower there. It kept her fur from falling down again. He smiled back, "Just like us, that's the reason I picked it over any others I saw."
"It's beautiful... Thank you, Garth." Lilly said, looking in Garth's eyes.
Garth looked back in her eyes and responded, "You're welcome."
He could have stood their for an eternity, looking in her eyes, but he heard footsteps. He looked to the cave entrance. Kate, Humphrey, and his parents were back. But one question remained in Garth's mind. Where were these four wolves at this whole time?
"We're your parents, Humphrey." Rose and Jack stood together, smiling at Humphrey. Everyone's jaws dropped from surprise. There was a moment of silence.

I don't know why they assume just because rogue wolves are involved, it must be the same group led by King and Princess. While the possibilities are still there, there has not been any onscreen presence of those two since A Howl-iday Adventure. I can only guess that the King and Princess look-alikes in Great Wolf Games were simply just re-skinned wolves because it seems strange that they'd make themselves public to an event like that.
And speaking of re-skinning wolves, it's common knowledge by now that just about every wolf character except for the originals are what they are- cheap re-skins. Princess is Claws, the Wolf Ghost is Scar, Lois is Sweets, etc. So for all we know, all these rogues are skinned off of other rogues. They could be from King's pack and it's possible they couldn't be.
