Does Aleena love her father even after all she has been through and some of the less pleasant things he has made her do?
Yes, she does. Because technically Mortis never forced her to do those things, she agreed to them. Of course she did agree to them expecting him to do more for his end of the bargain, but… well it comes to no surprise that Mortis is far better versed in navigating Sith politics to his advantage and doing the bare minimum to keep Aleena happy.
And considering her usual parental figures whom she has cared about, well it was bound to end like this. And considering Mortis hasn’t lied to her (like all the others), kidnapped her (like Fauren), abandoned her (like Nefa), or told her to her face that he’d think she was better off dead than fallen (like Aleusis), is anyone surprised that she ends up caring for Mortis.
All this is helped by the fact that Mortis shows that he cares and wants the best for her, even if they might hold somewhat different views on what’s best for her. But it does take years for her to reach that point.
