Eu tenho o seguinte código nodejs como uma função de middleware expressa

Middleware.is_authenticated = function(req, res, next)
{
    if(req.system_session == undefined || req.system_session.login_status == false) return res.status(401).send({errors: true, error: 'invalid_session', session: req.system_session}).end();

    Session.validate_session(req.system_session, req.ip, req.headers['user-agent'])

    .then(function(session)
    {
        return next();
    })

    .catch(function(err)
    {
        req.system_session.destroy();
        return res.status(401).send({errors: true, error: err.message, session: req.system_session}).end();
    });
};

Meu código Session.validate_session:

Session.validate_session = function(user, user_ip, user_agent)
{
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject)
    {
        if(user.user_id == null || user.user_name == null || user.user_rank == null || user.user_session == null || user_ip == null || user_agent == null) return reject(new Error('invalid_session'));

        new api_session({user_session: user.user_session}).fetch({columns: ['user_id', 'user_name', 'user_rank', 'user_session', 'user_ip', 'user_agent']})

        .then(function(result)
        {
            if(result == null) return reject(new Error('invalid_session'));

            return result.toJSON();
        })

        .then(function(session)
        {
            if(session == null || session.user_id != user.user_id || session.user_name != user.user_name || session.user_rank != user.user_rank || session.user_ip != user_ip || session.user_agent != user_agent) return reject(new Error('invalid_session'));

            return resolve(session);
        })

        .catch(function(err)
        {
            return reject(err);
        });
    });
};

Tudo está funcionando exatamente como deveria, tudo está sendo executado perfeitamente no banco de dados, além de resolver a rota 'próxima' e até exibir a resposta. Mas não importa o que eu tente, continuo recebendo 'uma promessa foi criada em um manipulador, mas não foi devolvida'

Se alguém tiver alguma solução, isso seria ótimo. Tenho muitas promessas no meu projeto que são extremamente semelhantes e todas estão funcionando muito bem, mas simplesmente não consigo entender isso.
