Default Alternator ground question

so i guess my wire harness has no ground that connects the alternator and the fuse box. i was wondering if i could use the power wire from my system to ground it off. Would that be ok?

Alternator has two connectors, a 3 or 4 pin control connector, and the chargeback wire that goes to the fuse box.

The alternator grounds through the case and engine block, like 99.9% of cars on the road.
