Assonance is not the one Im looking for.... Assonance is repetition of vowel sounds.. Im looking for the repetition of ending sounds

no, actually it would be consonance

(taken from webster.com)

Main Entry: con·so·nance
Pronunciation: 'kän(t)-s(&-)n&n(t)s
Function: noun
1 : harmony or agreement among components
2 a : correspondence or recurrence of sounds especially in words; specifically : recurrence or repetition of consonants especially at the end of stressed syllables without the similar correspondence of vowels (as in the final sounds of "stroke" and "luck")
