Summary
Sometimes, Lucifer thinks about how it's his fault soulmarks exist at all. Heaven couldn't undo the damage once he offered Eve a taste of divinity, but they could at least make sure that they didn't have to deal with humans refusing to populate their new playground.
He and Lilith were supposed to be different. Unique creatures brought into the universe before soulmarks, before he introduced the concept of free will. They were the blueprints tossed aside so a new realm of creation could be forged. That is, until the day Lilith came home, sat him down, and took forever off the table.
All Lucifer ever wanted was for humanity to be able to choose for themselves what they wanted in life—for them not to be forced to ascribe to a path that was written for them before the stars were even hung in the sky. He almost did it; he'd been so close, but heaven always finds a way to have the last laugh.
Forcing Lily into a bond that never should have existed wasn't enough—they had to make sure Lucifer knew he never really escaped. In the end, they always win.
