Disclaimer: Aro and Caius are very OCC in this chapter. If you do not like that, not my problem. This is just the warning, as it is fun giving them a bit more emotion. Enjoy

Venus was silent as she watched her mates, spending a final week with her niece, sister, and chosen family. She was now on the private jet, Felix and Demetri sat with her calmly while she kept her eyes trained on the three before her. "I want you three to know, I love you." She told them softly, and it seemed like a breath of light went over the three.

"We love you." Marcus spoke. "We do apologize for hurting you."

She eyed him. "I know you are, but I wished I had more heads up." Her eyes turning to Aro quickly. "You promised you would call me, but you never did. If I had simply been told the truth-I had a right to that."

Aro's head instantly hung down low, guilt radiated through him as she was right. They promised to keep in contact, and in a way they lied to her. "I am so sorry." He sobbed, catching her attention.

Marcus and Caius looked to their brother, as did the guard. No one had ever seen him like this in public, to see him shed a tear in guilt in remorse. That was unheard of from the man. "Brother." Caius tried, but Aro's shoulders shook the hand that was placed from his brother off.

Venus watched this, her heart clenched at the sight; eyes looking to Felix for a moment. A sigh escaping soon after, as she unbuckled the seat belt and moved quickly to her distraught mate. She was angry at him, and rightfully so. However, she was not heartless and seeing him like this ...she could not hurt him so. Her arms moved to wrap around him, holding his frame close to her. "Shh.."

"I deserve your anger, your frustration." He hissed, and she could see the self hatred.

Sighing softly, she kissed his head ever so softly. "You are right, you do. You also have it. However, with all that in place. I love you, and I have always done so." She whispered. "That is not the same as forgiving you, nor trusting. As it will take a long time for all three of you to gain that."

Aro shook softly, as he leaned into her. Breathing in her scent as if he was afraid she wasn't real. "I am a monster and you an angel, to even allow us the chance." He hissed.

"No you are not, you are not a monster." She replied, no matter how angry she was at him. Venus could not stand to hear how he spoke about himself.

Aro just looked up at her for a moment, before looking back down. His thoughts filling her head. 'What have I done, that fate has gifted this young woman as my mate.' His red eyes were clouded due to both his age and heart ache.

Venus knew she would regret this later, but she climbed into her mates lap. "You need to calm down, I am coming home. We will be together, all I ask is for some time."

Aro bit his lip, before nodding his head. "I know." He sighed. "I just really missed you, and I hurt you-"

"We all hurt you." Marcus interrupted. "Aro, the guilt is not yours alone." Turning his gaze to Felix and Demetri, who were both trying to distract themselves. "We thank you both for protecting our mate, and your sister."

Demetri nodded. "Doesn't even need to be asked, Master."

The bigger male guard agreed as well. "As you said, Venus is our sister. We will die for her."

Venus smiled at them, before reaching over to cup Marcus's cheek. While looking over to Caius who had yet to say anything, he did make an effort the anger she held for the three; was not as strong towards him. Brown eyes looked back to Marcus, who had leaned into her touch. "All three of you are still in trouble."

"We will take it." Caius replied, gaining both of his brothers to look at him. "She is willing to try, and if going back five steps to regain trust is what is needed. Then so be it." Everyone going silent in shock as he actually sniffled at that, his cloudy ruby red eyes filling with venom as he fought his own tears. "We just wanted you safe, but we should not have sent you away..not without contact."

Aro glared at his blond brother, as he nodded. The glare coming only because he knew his brother was right. "That is a decision, we will live with and regret for all eternity."

Venus stood slowly, gazing at all three who watched her intently. "As you three know, time. We have a lot of it." She smiled softly, before going back to her seat between her two guards. Looking over she noted Jane and Alec looking almost as guilty as her mates did. "You two are just as guilty, but we will become friends again."

Jane looked down instantly, and nodded her blonde head. "I know." She sobbed out.

Alec was just as bad, but wrapped his arms around his sister in comfort. "We will do everything, to gain forgiveness."

Nodding her head, Venus turned to Felix. "Both you, and you." She stated, looking to Demetri. They looking at her. "Need to hunt, once we land." Having noted their darkening eyes.

"Yes, dear sister." Demetri replied, smiling happily. He honestly looking forward to seeing Heidi again, along with smelling the sweet aroma of home.

Venus just smirked at him. "Are you thinking of Heidi?" She teased, watching as he glared at her playfully. "What are you going to do when you see her?"

Felix gave his sister a look. "He is going to do anything in his power to get into her pants." Instantly she snickered.

"That is true, what did he say?" She asked, gaining the glare herself. "I want to make her bounce, like a basketball?"

The tracker glared at both his soul siblings. "Fuck you both." Ignoring the growls he received from his Masters.

Venus gave him a glare. "A year ago, you made a comment about who I would think about if I ordered a dildo." She reminded gaining a look. "Payback is a bitch."

"Yet I was right." Demetri hissed. "Don't think I didn't hear the vibrations, while you cried out Master Caius's name."

With that, Venus went bright red. "Fuck you."

Do you like how Venus has matured, and the relationship between her, Felix, and Demetri is now?
