"After Didyme's death completely debilitated Marcus, Caius and Aro realised they were vulnerable to the same devastating blow in their quest for power." They were worried for the blow of losing their mates. Even though the intention is to remain powerful, it is clearly stated that they will receive the same blow Marcus did when Didyme died. Meaning--they were indeed mates, but unlike the other Vampire mates, they preferred power above everything. Besides, if they weren't mates, what's the point of guarding them deep in the castle? If Athenodora or Sulpicia died, then they should be able to easily find a new wife, without worrying for the 'devastating blow'.
