You need to handle the whole thing yourself, rather than using the
\alternative construct,

Something like this:

----
\version "2.22.0"

test = {
  \time 3/4
  \repeat volta 3
  {
    a'4 b' c' |
    b'4 c' d' |
  }
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1., 3." ))
  e'4 f' g' |
  d'4 c' b' |
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2.") end-repeat)
  r2.
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) end-repeat (volta "4."))
  g'4 a' b' |
  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
  c'2.
}

\score {
  \test
}
