Oh it is so sad to post this epilogue. I was really hoping that I would have been inspired to write more chapters since some of you wonderful readers weren't ready for it to be over but alas the inspiration never came. Jace is no longer speaking to me lol. So this is it! I have posted the first chapter for a Blackwater fic I will be posting for that soon. I just been really busy these days hence why I took so long to bring you the last three instalments of this story. So you can follow that if you're interested. These days I've been binging on Harry Potter fics lol. olivieblake is a wonderful writer so check her out if you are into the Potterverse.
Thanks to my consistent reviewers - Guest, Erikaaah, cliffdiving101 and acouvion! You guys made my day several times I appreciate you taking the time to post a review. And of course I thank all the other reviewers too! Reviews are a wonderful thing for us writers!
And so here you go...the Epilogue of To Whom I Belong. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Two years later…
JACE
"Te amo baby," I whispered as I nuzzled Phoenix's neck.
"I love you too Jace." She smiled up at me with those two-toned eyes and I felt my heart soar. Every time she said she loved me I felt complete.
"So what time are we meeting your parents at the restaurant again?" She asked, while we both individually soaped our bodies after another perfect round of hott fucking sex.
"Uh, seven-thirty I think."
"Oh okay, great, I can still get an hour of studying before it's time to get ready then."
I nodded. Yeah, I should probably study too…
Now that we were in college and living together, it was hard to concentrate on school half the time. Yes, we were living in Seattle, attending U-DUB and I was still alive. Corrie had put her foot down and vetoed Paul's vote on the arrangement, explaining to him that Phoenix was now an adult, and that we were no younger than they were when they got married and moved in together. It made no sense that we live apart anyway, we were both away from home, we were always going to be together and it was just safer for her to be with me. Paul of course threatened to cut off my dick any chance he got me alone (he was famous for surprise visits whenever he had work in Seattle which was AT LEAST once a week); but I kept it cool, I knew how to play my cards right. I promised him that I would always respect and cherish his daughter because she was the love of my life.
We weren't getting married anytime soon, neither of us felt it necessary to rush it, but we both wore something of the other. She wore a promise ring and traditional woven Quileute bracelet (that I had hell learning to make by the way) and I wore a bracelet that had her initials on it.
Although the work load was killing me I was enjoying engineering, and she was doing botany. Nix had decided that she wanted to carry on her great-grandmother's legacy and had this whole plan to study and conserve the medicinal wildlife in La Push. Jacob was on board for anything that preserved the Quileute culture and land and was very supportive of her studies. Phoenix was going to create a syllabus that was going to be incorporated into the Quileute school curriculum. She was also going to help me develop medicinal strains of cannabis, we were going to be a dynamic duo just like her parents. It was pretty fucking awesome especially when we were working on things that gave us ideas for our future farm slash grow house slash research lab.
The Blacks were still living on the Reservation and seemed to be quite happy. Jacob was doing great as chief and Nessie had opened up a few more local businesses which kept her busy along with their twin girls. Izzy and Rosy didn't seem to have accelerated growth like Sarah did and although they weren't normal toddlers, being super intelligent, the Blacks didn't need to hide them away. Their sons were going to school and excelling in sports and pack life. Sarah had moved up to Alaska to attend university and be near to Bella and Edward…and Avery. Apparently they were a thing now. Jacob hated it but would do nothing to take away his daughter's happiness. I was just glad that Avery had someone and was no longer convinced that he belonged with my girl. We never saw him again and it was our desire that we never would. It was just better this way, safer.
Quil and Claire had a little one now, another Quil Ateara. Sammy and Amber were shacked up too and seemed quite happy – Amber was pregnant with their first baby which was a really big deal for the new pack. Sammy never went back home to live with his parents after what happened with Avery. In fact, no one really got along with Sam and Emily like before, not even Embry. They still attended pack events but it was mostly for the sake of Lissa and Matthew.
In spite of that, Josie was doing great. She and Tuari lived in the apartment below us and we saw each other all the time between classes and on the weekends. But unlike us they had gotten married. Tuari was in school but was already almost done the prototype for his first video game. Leanne and Benjamin were married now as well, and they too lived in Seattle. We saw them occasionally, especially when my parents came up to visit. They'd be joining us for dinner tonight.
Yeah, my parents, as in Valerie and Embry Call.
Brendon died in a car crash a year and a half ago. Mom had been badly injured in the accident too but she'd survived. Dad and I flew down when Enid called me hysterical, late one night. Needless to say, Embry never left Mom's side again after that. It was their second chance, and they took it. They belonged together and we were all happy for them, especially because in about four months I'd be getting that little sister I'd always wanted.
With Jared's help, Dad had finally built his house and Enid, Mom and Tyler moved to La Push. Embry and Jacob ran their bike factory in addition to Dad's other interests; while Mom opened her own online magazine and employed a few young girls from Forks and La Push. Destiny Cameron was her personal assistant and teen liaison, and couldn't be happier as my mother was teaching her everything about being in the business. Josie had plans to join forces when she finished her design degree. Mom had an office building and everything. She was happy, truly happy, and so was Tyler. He loved La Push, and even though he missed his father, I knew that Embry was giving him more than Brendon ever gave us.
Ethan and I never rekindled our friendship, and basically all my ties to California broke as Washington became my home. Sometimes I missed him and the way we used to be, but then I'd think of all that I'd gained and the feeling would disappear. I could only hope that he, Malcolm, Tina, Maria and everyone else, would find their own path and be truly happy.
"Jace, quit stalling and get your books out and study!" My bossy, sexy soulmate slash roommate scolded me, prompting me to walk to the closet and fish around for something to put on.
"I am babe, relax," I threw her a dazzling smile which she returned with a roll of her eyes. "Just was thinking..."
"About what?"
"About everything, us...the pack, the family...the last two and a half years since we met?"
Phoenix smiled knowingly, I was prone to these bouts of nostalgia.
"It was an amazing ride Jace. It still is."
"Yeah, I know...mind-blowing is more the word I would use though," I smirked, thinking about her naked body and the fact that it was all mine.
"Go study before I tell your parents you've been slacking," she threatened with a grin.
"Yeah yeah yeah," I rolled my eyes and chuckled as I pulled on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and grabbed my homework from my bag.
Phoenix was sprawled on her stomach, her highlighter in hand and pencil caught between her teeth as she read one of her huge botany textbooks. On my way to the living room I stood in the doorway and smiled. Though I was no longer phasing, the feeling of the imprint never went away.
We belonged to each other, forever.
