Alternators are usually grounded by the body in most cases. You can attach a ground from the case to engine block or chassis as an added ground. Think one of the broken wire is for the stock oil pressure gauge. Looks like you have 3 broken wires?

Look like I have 2 cables cut but I could add another ground to the chassis of the car or it goes back to the battery

It does not have to go to the battery. From the case of the alternator to engine block or chassis.

@Mexjzl are you having electrical issues? Here are a list of grounds in the engine bay
- Battery to firewall
- Back of intake manifold to firewall
- One of the starter bolts should have a ground to harness that runs under the thermostat housing
