%% CODE SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.8.1"
slurPrep = { \once \override Slur #'extra-offset = #'( -6 . 0.8 ) }
\relative c''
{
        c d e f
        f e  d c \bar "||" \break
        \repeat "volta" 2 { c b a c e c d e( }
        \alternative
        {
                { fis) g e c }
                { \slurPrep d( c) b c \bar "|."}
        }
}
%% CODE SNIPPET ENDS

Tweak slur details as necessary.
It ain't perfect, but it solves your issue (I think!?).

Hope this helps!
