Fitz and Molly married at the very end and the last line in the book was

"I am content"

For me the thing I seek most in life is to be content, if you are content your life must be good. That last line said it all for me, Fitz was content and I do not believe he ever said that before he married Molly and began to make good on the promise he made to "heart of the pack" Burrich.

Yes Fitz loved the Fool but was the Fool really ever pack? Molly was pack, Burrich was heart of the pack, and all of the children from the three of them were pack. This is why Fitz was content he was with his pack and nothing could have allowed him come to the realization, "I am content" more so then being with his pack.

He had lost Nighteyes and Burrich but his pack was, perhaps for the first time in his life, intact and that was why he never needed to bond again with another except Molly. The only parts missing from his pack were Nighteyes and Burrich, but both of them had been taken from the pack by the natural way of things. Even Nettle was now part of his pack because he was now her father in truth, though she lived at Buckkeep. So the wolf in Fitz would see the loss of Nighteyes and Burrich as part of life and be content with that.

We have to remember how much Nighteyes meant to Fitz to be able to realize why Molly was the right woman for Fitz, she was the only being capable of making him content because she had become "Heart of the pack" when Burrich was gone. By marrying Molly, Fitz became heart of his pack, nothing else could have made him feel content.
