Chapter 44

Nico's POV:

The halls of the castle were silent and empty, as they should be at this time of the night.

That dreaded meeting went on way too long as they usually did, leaving me tired and in a bad mood.

Luckily it was the last one for a while, finally giving me the ability to tend to other things in my life.

I paused once I reached my door, wondering if Khloe was asleep in there.

She better be, it would be unhealthy for her if she wasn't.

I know that she has difficulty sleeping without me, but maybe the safety of my room was enough to get her to sleep.

Being as late as it was, maybe exhaustion alone would have put her to sleep.
