Shorey had been lined up for a season-long switch to Fratton Park on transfer deadline day, but opted again at joining the Barclays Premier League's bottom club.
The defender was offered the chance to join Pompey after Villa manager Martin O'Neill added Stephen Warnock to his squad, shunting Shorey on to the bench.
However, Shorey does not regret rejecting Portsmouth and explained that a move to Fratton Park did not feel "right".
"The interest from Portsmouth came really late in the window," Shorey said ahead of Villa's match with Pompey on Saturday.
"I didn't have a lot of time to think about it and I decided it wasn't the right thing for me to do.
"I'd come off the back of a few good wins and I was in the team playing well, I thought. I made that decision and I'm happy with it.
"At the end of the day I didn't feel it was the right move for me and that's the bottom line.
"I have no hard feelings, they are nice people down there and I wish them all the best, but I'm a Villa player."
